I'm a Roman supporter. I hope the coronation goes well. Would I rather have another ME? I suppose, but in that case I'd say Brock would be the one to be removed from the equation. He's long overdue losing that belt. And the suplex city routine is dead by now. No one really cares about it. I still think that, if Lesnar doesn't decide to be lazy, they can have a good match.</p>

<p>I've been thinking about the rumored upcoming draft lately. Booking is more important than the rosters so the changes would mostly be to freshen the feuds up.</p><p> </p><p>

Styles, Corbin, Becky, Natalya, Naomi, The Usos >> RAW</p><p>

Rollins, Joe, Asuka, Bayley >> SMACKDOWN</p><p> </p><p>

Promote: Authors of Pain >> RAW</p><p>

Promote: Ember, Iconic Duo, Sanity >> SMACKDOWN</p><p>

Promote: Gargano (and later Ciampa) >> 205 LIVE</p>

I've been thinking about the rumored upcoming draft lately. Booking is more important than the rosters so the changes would mostly be to freshen the feuds up.

 

Styles, Corbin, Becky, Natalya, Naomi, The Usos >> RAW

Rollins, Joe, Asuka, Bayley >> SMACKDOWN

 

Promote: Authors of Pain >> RAW

Promote: Ember, Iconic Duo, Sanity >> SMACKDOWN

Promote: Gargano (and later Ciampa) >> 205 LIVE

 

No thanks. :D That guy should be above 205 live.

I hope Vince gets really busy with his make believe football league and lets Hunter run things for a while.</p>

<p>205 Live was the pick of the shows this week. Ali deserves to win the Title at Mania or chase whoever does win. Murphy's selling was damn good.</p><p> </p><p>

Smackdown is beyond saving until after the next draft. If you're going to give away the main event of the PPV (minus Cena) on the go-home show at least make it interesting like Raw did with the Gauntlet match.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm hearing a lot of exciting things about the NXT Takeover: New Orleans card but I'm trying hard to avoid spoilers. Also a new round of cuts including Abbey Laith and Sage Beckett.</p>

Fastlane thoughts:

 


Nakamura vs Rusev- Fun opener with the right guy winning. Nakamura made Rusev look like an even bigger bad ass.

 


Randy Orton vs Bobby Roode©- BS ending. They could have easily set up the triple threat with Bobby retaining or Jinder interfering. Literally no reason for Randy Boreton to win the belt.

 


Natalya & Carmella vs Becky and Naomi- Clunky mess

 


Usos© vs New Day- What is WWE's obsession with multiman matches? Harper looks amazing these days. Great beatdown, but I just don't want a triple threat tag match.

 


Charlotte© vs Ruby Riott- I'm in the minority of wanting Ruby to win, but it was a good match that made both look good. I've been a fan of Ruby since she was Heidi Lovelace and even worked her merch table for her when she was on a show with my brother. So I'm a little biased in her direction.

 


Six Pack Challenge- Thank god AJ retained. They did really good job of making it seem like anyone could win. Cena shoving the camera out of his face after the match was a nice touch. Maybe Taker answers him tonight?

Very watchable but predictable PPV, as I...predicted. :p

 


Better than Elimination Chamber at least, with a few solid to very good matches in Naka vs. Rusev, Tag Title Match and the Six-Pack Challenge. More than the Chamber had to offer. The only thing I got wrong was the US title match, and oh boy, that match was not only lousy in my opinion, but Orton had no business of winning. It was an ''out of nowhere'' finish though, so I'll give them that. I hope Robbie Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo can win it back soon.

 


(I also got the women's tag match wrong, but please don't make me talk about WWE jobbing out Becky Lynch...)
