In WWE, Roman Reigns is still boring and is a lame heel. Bray Wyatt is still MIA. Waiting to see which wrestler will be leaving soon, to join AEW.

They finally turned Roman heel? I heard he was facing Kevin Owens or someone at the Rumble, so I just assumed he was still being forced as the main face. Also remember reading that Randy was in another feud with Wyatt,

Yes, he turned heel, but was was really lame at it. So, they teamed him with Paul Heyman. Now he doesnt have to talk as much. He has a love/hate relationship with his real life cousin Jimmy Uso.

This weekend I'm hoping to start watching wrestling again. Gonna start with AEW, see how that is. Not really a big fan of the Young Bucks style of wrestling, but I'm sure they got other guys on the roster that'll be interesting. I'm also gonna watch Royal Rumble, even if just for the Rumble match itself. Kinda hoping someone besides the usual suspects wins it lol

AEW is worth it. I would say give it two months, just so you can catch up on the Stables, tag teams, and current story lines.

How do you feel about spoilers?

I have heard at least one special Royal Rumble wrestler that will show up. I can keep it to myself if you like.

From what I remember of Reigns, he could wrestle pretty well but didn't have much in the way of personality. I guess turning him heel didn't do much other than make the boos "canon" so to speak lol

Yeah, he still has no personality, except I am mad. lol

I don't mind spoilers, the rumble usually has a couple of returning guys and such anyway

Edge will return at the Rumble. Afterward, he will either be fighting or tag teaming with Randy Orton.

Rated RKO 2.0? Same old, same old. I stopped expecting any creativity from WWE's... "creative" team long ago.

The matches themselves were really great, can't think of any real bad moments. I was a little bit skeptical of the main event, only because I was never a big Young Bucks fan (purely my own personal preference, I do get why people like their style of wrestling though). However, it was a great match the whole way through and I'm excited to see how that tag team battle royale turns out

They should of brought back at least one of the following: The Big Show, Hulk Hogan, Bray Wyatt, Scott Hall, or Kevin Nash.

Not worth the price at all, I viewed it for free on the internet. Like a Boss.

I didn't actually think Edge would have won it, I thought halfway through that Randy would come back just to eliminate him and some other guy would get the win.

Randy Orton was the wrong wrestler for the fake hurt angle.

I'm assuming that Wrestlemania will have Edge in a career threatening match similar to Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels. He never did get a proper send off when he initially retired. That's assuming of course that he even wants to retire though lol

That could be interesting. I wonder who would retire him?

I thought the matches themselves were fine, I don't really think the problem with WWE nowadays has anything to do with the performers themselves. But most of the matches were really predictable and you kind of knew what the outcomes would be

WWE needs better storylines and ideas.

One guy who comes to mind is Christian. Again though, that's assuming Edge even wants to retire anytime soon. The way things are going I'm assuming he's gonna be going down the same route Shawn Michaels did in the last few years of his career where he's always fighting for the title but is the veteran there to make the younger champ look good. As much as him vs Drew or Roman would be cool,

WWE definitely needs some better stories. I'm not even convinced it's all to do with it being more PG, although it doesn't help. They just keep making these weird booking decisions where all the guys people want to see are being pushed aside for one reason or another. I'm still catching up on things since I've been away from wrestling for a while, but it really doesn't seem like much has changed the past few years in regards to storytelling.

The next PPV is Elimination Chamber. Still no Bray Wyatt. The Miz still has his money in the back briefcase.

Carlito appears to be sticking around for awhile. The rest of the Royal Rumble jobbers all left.

It was an okay PPV. I am glad that the Miz finally used his Money in the Bank briefcase.

Happy about the cash in, just hope this isn't gonna be a super short transitional reign where they completely drop Miz in favour of Lashley vs McIntyre. I'm assuming it'll be a triple threat at Mania where Miz eats the pin so either Lashley or Drew are still protected

I also think Cesaro maybe should have won instead of Daniel Bryan. I'm assuming the thought process was that Bryan is the smaller guy, so Reigns squashing him makes him look more powerful and more heelish, but Cesaro could have filled that role to tease a future singles push

Big Show is, imo, the most under appreciated wrestler ever. Now that he's with AEW, I'm hoping that he gets treated with a bit more respect.

I was very disappointed that nobody tried to interfere for the Miz at all. Since his entire reign has been about bending the rules. The Ending was boring, Lashly beats him in less than three minutes.

Honestly, I would have preferred if Miz made a deal with Hurt Business to give Lashley the briefcase at Elimination Chamber so he could cash in. Maybe offer Miz a place in Hurt Business in a managerial role, with all the protection and benefits and respect it would entail, which can then turn into a betrayal storyline later on down the line. Just feels like the past two weeks have been too roundabout and it doesn't look good to see the title flip flop so much. Also feels a little unclear if Lashley is a face or a heel now, since this rivalry with Miz puts him in more of a babyface role, whereas a partnership with Miz would have kept his heel status intact.

Yes, the ending of that story line was handled terribly. I think they are just gearing up for Drew to fight Lashley at Wrestlemania. However, the Miz still gets his champion's rematch. Perhaps, he will wait until after Wrestlemania and do something with the rematch? I had no idea what they are planning.

Regardless of those things though, I'm happy for Lashley finally getting the title. I'm sure his match with Drew will be great, but I just feel bad that Miz was done a little dirty in what should have been a much better second reign

I am not sure if Miz needs time off due to his family, or his other TV show. Chris Jericho would often drop titles when he wanted to go on a tour with his band.

I thought they got rid of the championship rematch rule. Maybe I'm misremembering though, it's probably a very flimsy rule in typical WWE style lol.

Yeah he's not the best in the ring and has had a hard time with promos earlier in his career but ever since Vinnie finally entertained the idea of him as a heel look how much he's grown.

It's a testament to how much he's been mismanaged 4-5 years in a row when he could've been this cocky, love to hate guy. Imagine this guy in the era of real crowds. The smark cities would been popping off in appreciation of how much he's embraced the hate.
