Well they let Joe keep his name unless they changed it recently haven't been watching NXT lately too many things I had to watch. And Just when WWE pulls me out they pull me back in with these Signings and changing up the Royal Rumble a bit. Well have to see if they let AJ keeep his name because if he gets named something else my guess is the NXT crowd will still chant AJ styles.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I'm glad to see Styles make it to the WWE. Obviously he is past the peak of his career, but I suspect he can be a real asset to the company in many ways.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Cena wins the title at Mania with help from the Bullet Club. Becomes the new leader. Mark it down!

 

[Hunter Rider]

Who is that AJ is fist-bumping?

I'm going to be watching WWE again. The fact that I just read that Reigns is defending the title in the Rumble is freaking awesome. GREAT twist this year. Not the same formula we usually get from WWE.

So how does this work? Does Reigns start at #1?

With how muchhe t Authority has it in for Reigns wouldn't surprise me if he started at #1 or #2.

 

[javonstokess]

If I were booking the Royal Rumble, I'd have Ambrose win.

I'd have Reigns enter at #1 or 2. During the Rumble, Ambrose gets knocked out the ring through the middle rope and is essentially forgotten about for awhile.

Then it's just Reigns and Lesnar (who comes in at #30). Out of nowhere, Ambrose pushes both men over the top.

Then you have 2-3 months of tension between Reigns/Ambrose with the monster Lesnar lurking in the background looking to get his title back.

Top it off with a Wrestlemania triple threat, Lesnar vs. Reigns vs. Ambrose with Reigns going full heel and winning the title.

Then you have can have a full year of Reigns vs. Ambrose on and off fueding, add in a returning Seth Rollins and culminate with the "Shield" Wrestlemania match WWE is dying for. You can have Ambrose or Rollisn go over and you've fully created 3 Top stars.

 

[SpideyVille]

I like it, but the problem is, the moment you pit Ambrose vs Reigns ... Ambrose is going to destroy Reigns in terms of fans. Ambrose is just too over and even a heel turn wouldn't make Reigns more popular.

I disagree. People were DYING to boo Roman Reigns. Ambrose is really over, but he's missing that one big spark to put him at "A-Lister" status.

Having Reigns screw his "best friend" out of his first WWE heavyweight title and then destroying him on the biggest stage of them all would put him close to as hated as Seth Rollins was when he turned on the Shield. If they want to take it a step further, have him shake hands with Stephanie McMahon that night (or the Raw after).

Both wrestlers would get put over big time and Lesnar still maintains his dominant force persona.

 

[Pink Ranger]

For some reason, a heel-turned Authority-aligned Ambrose makes me think of Stone Cold when he played the guitar.

LOL Agreed.

Frankly, they need to catch the lightning that's in the bottle right now before it's gone.

 

[nite-owl]

Nakamura.

 

[chamber-music]

It would be pretty awesome storyline to have the Authority bring the Bullet Club in to beat the hell out of Roman.

Becky Lynch wearing Finn's arm bands.

Really good match between Charlotte and Becky.

The Bullet Club could be a big earner for them like DX was a big earner.

Heath Slater getting a win on Raw oddly made me happy.

 

[Warhammer]

I'm a big fan of Cena becoming a member of the Bullet Club. I'm an even bigger fan of Reigns becoming a member of the Bullet Club.

you mean like 12 people that are actual WWE fans

the IWC wants that, and really no one else right now

 

[runawayboulder]

I get the feeling that the family friendly WWE that exists now would shy away from using the words Bullet considering there's a mass shooting in this country for what seems like once a month.

While I don't agree with them shying away from it I could totally see that happening.

 

[Bat Brain]

Maybe they'll go by Bálor Club?

 

[Bat Brain]

Fantasy booking time: Bálor is in an NXT title match against his "friend" Hideo Itami. Itami is about to hit the GTS to win the title when suddenly he's attacked from behind by Anderson/Styles/Gallows/Tonga (whoever) and Bálor keeps his title. Eventually he reveals that he was the one who injured Itami back in May. Bálor Club: It's reeeeal!!

 

[runawayboulder]

Maybe they'll go by Bálor Club?

That's more likely since he's the top guy in NXT right now. I'm not sure if AJ would still be a part of it. They might want to have him do his own thing.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Maybe they'll go by Bálor Club?

The Bálor Ballers. t:

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I doubt the Bullet Club will go on in WWE. Pretty sure New Japan has the hold on it and it really wouldn't be the same. What made them cool was that they did American wrestling **** in no-nonsense Japan. In WWE, they'd just be another batch of goons running around.

 

[Lobo]

I watched the Raw highlights. I like this little mid card stable. #SocialOutcast. I even felt like Axel wasn't boring. Also Slater and Rose were gold together imo.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So one would think that they would mention Doc Gallows previous stint in WWE and that he's spent the last few years in Japan.

There are people in other forums who may chant "Festus."

 

[Dr. Evil]

So Styles and Nakamura to WWE with Doc and Karl.

That tops the return of Raw is Jericho last night. Not sure if it will top the return of the Mayor of Suplex City next week though.
