There was a moment during his match with AJ, where he lent through the ropes and shouted "Shut up Cole, I can hear you from here", and it was at that moment in time that I realised I may have a man crush on KO. That promo has just come along and sealed the deal.

Got to love the WWE.

Reigns is being booed out of buildings.

Seth Rollins returns to a huge ovation.

Book heel Rollins v face Reigns feud. Idiots.
I saw that and thought it was funny in a diabolical way.

They are so desperate to make Reigns a face and it just won't work.

You think they would've learnt from their Cena attempts.

Perhaps it's time to have Cena and Reigns fued. At least get one of them as a face that way.

I don't think Reigns could ever become an accepted face, even if he got involved in a tag match between STSA & Undertaker v Vince McMahon & Eric Bischoff at a PPV in Texas, and saved Taker and Austin from a vicious mob attack ordered by Vince and Eric.

I get why people want to cheer for Rollins. He is the best. However, turn him face and you won't have much to cheer. They will make him a shit face just like they do with everyone. Keeping him heel is awesome imo.

In Cena's defense, at least he's getting a 40/60 split. Reigns seems more like 20% cheers and 80% rampant abuse.

They were merciless at the PPV last night. "Reigns can't wrestle" became "You still can't wrestle".

Cena gets these chants too, of course, but at least there's a bit of conflict. Reigns is just a heel that the WWE refuses to acknowledge.

As for Rollins, I don't want them to turn Rollins face. I just want him to be the face in this feud. Kevin Owens is a heel who people love, and Rollins could be as well.

The difference between Rollins and Reigns is that, despite coming out to a face pop, the fans ended up booing Rollins during his promo because he is a believable heel. Reigns gets booed the entire time as a face, even with his new "the guy" persona.

Reigns is a shit actor. He cannot sell himself. Standing around glaring and pouting is not gonna cut it.

Well Smackdown will be live starting from July plus there will be a brand split.

Early predictions for who will be where.. Reigns and Rollins on Raw and Styles and Cena on SD. The rest idk. Also will the champ just be on 1 show and they'll build up the IC and US belts on the other? Interesting times.

If this leads to a brand split, I'll be a happy camper. More screen time for guys who have been languishing in the shadows.

I think they should have the US and IC title as the main belt for each show, basically saying that you're the number one contender for that brand. I doubt it will happen though as that would require them to take the titles seriously. The champ will most likely be on both shows.

Will be interesting to see who ends up where. I have a feeling a lot of the "new era" may land on Smackdown with a selection of veterans.

Also hopefully they don't bring back brand specific ppvs again :lol: And they should shorten Raw to 2 hours again since a bunch of talent will be on Smackdown and I don't think anyone can watch Raw for 3 hours now let alone when the brand split happens.

Guess it depends on how their contract for Raw is written. If they have to provide 3 hours of content, do they show main event/superstars after 2 hrs of Raw?

I'm strongly against having two world titles. Have the champion be able to float between shows like in days of old.

If they need new titles, they can resurrect the European or Cruiserweight.

I hope trips gets full control of smackdown. He's proven himself a good booker with NXT and this could be Vince giving him a run with the main roster.
