    As a Black person, the Naomi rant people going on about, I think, is ridiculous. Blanca is literally one of the top stars in the division for years, Naomi had a good title run years ago, and Jade is being pushed to the Moon. Plus, Naomi hasn't been booked badly this year, especially compared to a lot of women on the roster. Good spot in the rumble, win at mania, title shot against Bailey, and more tv time/matches than most. BUT not everybody can win, all the time. Tiffany is just more over right now. Just because the pretty white blonde girl won doesn't mean it's racism. The same people complaining about Tiffany winning because she's white and blonde are the same people complaining that Liv Morgan wasn't winning months ago. Seriously, calm down people. 🙄

    Claiming that Naomi not winning stuff is because of racism makes no sense to me. Bianca has been THE top star of the women’s division for years. Racism is a problem but I don’t see how in any way that is the problem with why Naomi has not been pushed.

      Horny little people who have never had an honest relationship of any kind with a real person crushing on physically attractive athletes they see on TV and using the fake prejudice they pretend the world has against the attractive grass-toucher on their screens as evidence that it's the world's fault they never go outside.

      Yeah, that was some obnoxious grifting from the guy on the right. Playing the race card in a division where you got Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill is insanity. Bianca is overly pushed to the degree of burying multiple other women, same for Jade getting gold within a few weeks in the company.
      If this wasn't a grift I expect they would have shown more concern for Asian wrestlers. They are so often portraited as these insane evil people that must resort to cheating or some weird poison mist to win.

      Bruh. If Bayley and Liv get multiple titles and Naomi has none what's your reasoning for it? HHH just doesn't know how to book black wrestlers... Lashley and Belair b4 Cargill for examples. I'm not sayin it's for sure racism. I am sayin that there's no way u can just dismiss it by pointing to Bianca who is an outlier and not the rule.

    One of the super chats had me thinking. If Cena wins, the Intercontinental Championship, last title that he's never won, he could then have his last match against Sheamus giving Sheamus the win giving Sheamus the one title he's never had. I know a lot of people would put Sheamus near the bottom of the list for final opponents for Cena, but I always thought they had really good chemistry together and would put on a fantastic match with how good Sheamus is now.

    I hope the final two in next years Royal Rumble is Punk and Cena. Cena said he's also going to elimination chamber, leads me to believe Punk will win the Royal Rumble by eliminating Cena and then Cena winning the chamber. After WrestleMania they can have a SummerSlam or even better, a MITB main event match. Title or not, it will be a hot crowd whenever it takes place

      Honestly, scoring in reviews (not just of wrestling, but of anything) doesn't really make sense. Because what constitutes a 5/5, a 7/10 or whatever score doesn't really mean anything. You have to actually listen/read the opinion of the reviewer, to get what they thought.
      Two reviewers might say basically the same things, but how they translate that into a score is completely different.

    The thing you said about needing a break from ladder matches, I think that’s why I liked the women’s match so much. Ladder matches have become so paint by numbers that they don’t feel exciting and dangerous. The women’s match brought back that sense of chaos and danger and “oh these matches shorten careers” that ladder matches used to have when I was a kid. The early mistakes inadvertently made the match better because it made the rest of the match not feel like a choreographed show

    I get Dan’s sentiment of “Who else could win it? What are they doing now?” However my counter argument is that they have a year to build someone up. When NXT moves to the CW, a channel in as many homes as Fox, they’re going to start treating NXT like a big deal. Using the briefcase on the NXT Title could’ve been a smart option, especially since we’ve had a Royal Rumble winner challenge for an NXT Title before too.

He could also be involved in that decision but honestly I don't think I will watch a PLE live again until the Rumble.

With bloodline/ Roman/ Rock/ Cody on SD and Gunther/Rollins/Drew/Seth/Cena and probably Brock on RAW there is just no room to elevate any of the other participants to the Main Event scene within the next 12 months. They would have looked out of place and they would have just distracted from the real big money story lines that both shows are cooking until WM41

    Here’s how I would’ve booked it. Drew has been HYPER fixated on Punk…not so much the title. So Drew should be “seeing red” in a sense toward Punk, screw the title.
    So the booking is, he makes the announcement that he will cash in later in the night if he wins the briefcase.
    The moment comes, he cashes in…but all the cash in is is a ploy to draw out Punk because Punk won’t face him straight up. He only relies on jumping him. So Drew cashes it in and forsakes the match altogether as he turns his attention to fighting Punk.
    Audience finally realizes, oh wait, there’s still a title match going on, Seth distracted by the brawl going on causes him to lose and we get to the same place we arrived at on the actual show. Seth beefing with Punk because he can no longer challenge for the title as long as Priest is champ. And Drew and Punk is now taken to another level as Drew cerebrally lured out Punk.

    I do hope they play into the botched pin. I feel they missed a beat not doing an Orton Gunther rematch after the botched pin, but now we're in a situation where the SS WHC match has a lot of holes, and to Dan's point of having too many significant botches lately becoming a problem; I think acknowledging it is one thing, but not trying to weave it into the story can come across as lazy.
    On Raw, I'd love it if its revealed that Judgement Day bribed the ref to save Priest, and this pisses Priest off because, once again, the JD couldn't stay out of his business, but Finn calls him out as a loser, fracturing the group more. As for Seth, he was screwed, so he should be added to SS, but now, if he loses, he can't challenge if either Priest or Gunther win. Gunther can feel slighted, but then they can point out his KOTR botch. The Triple Threat isn't just for the title, it's for Priests place in JD, Seth's contendership, and Gunther will lose his status as King. High, high stakes.
    And finally, Drew v Punk. Give them an unsanctioned match at SS, but Drew only agrees that if he wins, he gets a guaranteed title shot, but if Punk wins, he gets it instead.

    I split king/queen of the ring and money in the bank by gender each year. i think that having the same match double each year loses some of the mistic about it and makes the overall storylines more repetitive. I would just make it like one year have MITB and the women have Queen of the year, and then the next year alternate, to keep them separate and make everything more memorable and more unique.

    The Punk interference during the Drew Cash-In was just really predictable. If Punk was going to cost Drew a match, have him knock Drew off a ladder and then crown a winner who can be elevated to the main event level.
    My only theory on why they did it this way, was because they wanted to get rid of the men's briefcase as quickly as possible so it doesn't interfere with the inevitable Gunther title win at Summerslam as him and Cody are probably going to have lengthy title reigns

    You really need to take the idea of the Briefcase as its a storyline vehicle. And the way last years priest run with it was good. But if they have significant storylines across the year planned, then you need to make sure that there isnt too many things to thread the stories together. And the briefcase will always be a thing that you need to have a consistent theme across the term of having it to work with.
    And if you go back to how Theories run with the briefcase went, you can see that having a mcguffin with no story plan can completely hurt the character and how they work with other stories..

    Something I don't quite understand: in kayfabe, why, exactly, is cashing in on an ongoing match considered a smart move? It seems to me that using it after a match when the winner is exhausted and barely moving would be a significantly better strategy. But people talk about it like Seth's blueprint for making Reigns/Lesnar a triple threat was a stroke of strategic genius. In the real world, I get that - it took a heatless match and course-corrected it into an iconic moment with a winner anybody wanted to see as champion. But in kayfabe, isn't that actually just Seth putting himself into a situation in which his opponents - two menaces, no less - are still able to actually fight back? Same for Drew here, except he didn't get lucky.

But I got out of wrestling right about when Cena debuted and didn’t come back into wrestling til the Cena lol days. And I only began being a full time wrestling fan and WWE when AJ debuted. But he does deserve to go out in style.

And at first i was like everyone else who was upset with Drew winning because I didn't think he needed it, but im okay with it since not only did it add even more to the drew and punk stuff. It also brought back the anger Seth had to punk which will lead to them having a match soon which for someone like me that likes both Seth and Punk, I cant wait to see that match. So for me personally I'm okay with this decision.

Gunther first (should’ve been chad just stole his moment) and now Bron (which hopefully won’t derail his momentum too much, they’re both awesome so could make it work).

    Many things I didn't enjoy about the cash in, most are based in personal preference, so I won't mention them. I just feel like they're treating Priest very poorly in his title run. He's the champ, but he doesn't feel like the champ and they're not trying to make him feel like the champ because almost everything surrounding the title right now is focused on two (sometimes three) other guys. It's frustrating, especially with Punk not actually medically cleared to wrestle so everything's in a holding pattern.

      Think he's a victim of circumstance tbh. Having Rhea by his side would've definitely helped build him up since they didn't do any of that while he had the briefcase lol. Just another reason why the MITB might need a break or a rework because it just drops people in the main event scene that may or may not be ready in which you get these cold starts to reigns
