The Usos winning bothered me more. What on earth people see in them is beyond me. Just bland with a side of generic baby face.

f**k Neville too. Owens by a mile.

one problem with the PG era, the WWE can manipulate kids into getting the results they want.

Uso's have been missing most the year and Neville got called up so the kids could go "oooh" and "Ahhhhh" at his move set. Heaven forbid they actually give him a feud (or at least one where 99% of it isn't focused on a celebrity).

Why can't they book Reigns like this all the time? This segment on SmackDown! where he saved the Usos was awesome.

AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson & Doc "Luke" Gallows are set to sign with the WWE.

Huge news.

Hmm interesting concept.

It does leave the card a bit thin though considering the RR PPV is traditionally a 2 match show.

Notable mid card matches have occurred in the past with 2000, 2001 and 2005 coming to mind but I don't see the current mid card propping up the first half of the show.

Interesting idea, but if Reigns wins the Rumble AS champion then has he surpassed Cena in the Superman stakes? Surely Vince will also make him the number 1 entrant in coming weeks just for extra obstacles to overcome.

I can HHH winning it returning at number 30 and stopping reigns to set up a rematch at mania. I wonder if taker will show up at some point during the show perhaps to announce mania as his last match and set up the rumoured match against cena. Cena will probably get a U.S title shot as well.

Just watched Raw for the first time in a while...

Utter dogshit...

It seriously reminded me of that hokey period in the WWF before the attitude era... f**king goofy ass gimmicks everywhere.

I fast forward one part and get some shithouse rosebud guy who has the worst f**king english accent... Then it cuts to Cody Rhodes... Whaaat the fuuck was he dressed as?? Blackdust??

The worst part of it all wasn't even those horrible gimmicks... It was the fact that whoever is booking... Is being reactive...

Everything about Sheamus was a piss poor attempt at copying Conor McGregor. Coming out in a suit, with the strap on... :lol:

Whoever is in charge of creative has seen Conor McGregor absolutely killing it with PPV numbers and the Irish fans invading Las Vegas so they are trying to cash in on it...

The sad thing is Sheamus is in a game where mic work is a part of the job... Yet Conor IMO is better than him on the mic...

If this shit sells... Then wrestling fans these days are f**king geniused.

I'd be a bit surprised if they signed Nakamura, particularly after seeing how tough KENTA was finding it moving from puroresu to the WWE style. He is very talented though, if only WWE could find a way to get Okada over as well.

Having Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows come in would be good for Finn Balor, but neither guy is good at being a face. Perhaps a heel turn is in the pipes for Balor after his program with Samoa Joe.

Styles is one that would stump me a bit. He would be a very good pick up for WWE, but age isn't on his side and a Bullet Club reunion in NXT would leave him as a lacky rather than the leader. On the other hand, TNA have been throwing around guaranteed contracts again, so maybe WWE will lock him up ASAP and worry about that later.

I wouldn't bother putting AJ or Nakamura through NXT.

I'd have them both at Wrestlemania and have them in featured matches. Either together, or against opponents they gel well against.

Who was the last guy to come straight onto the WWE main roster without going through developmental, that wasn't a WCW or ECW wrestler prior? And how long ago?
