Yeah, Logan Paul is just seeting up an easy W and big pop for Jey, since the fans hate Paul outside of just his heel character. I don't see there being any way that Paul wins and they immediately take the belt off a Jey, that would be weird.

And I noticed the same thing about the crowd, Vegas cheered when Dirty Dom won a belt, and then Rollins faction got a lot of cheers, and not many boos. Even took a while for the CM Punk chant to start. But Heyman/Rollins/Bron are all popular, so makes sense.

Then you got Fatu also being a super-over heel who gets cheered more than booed.

It's like the 90's are coming back.
Rollins wouldnt be popular without his theme.

They could literally do what they did to Nakamura when they changed his theme when he went heel the first time and removed the sing along ability.

I like the idea of the Heyman / Rollins / Bron stable a lot.

But FOR THE LOVE OF ALL HOLY FUCK someone make Seth doing that stupid retarded character. His outfits, his dumb laugh, his dumb way of talking...it's pure X-pac heat for me.

I mean, he's been "meh" to me every since he whined that he wasn't a locker room leader and talked shit to Ospreay about being a "better wrestler" because he makes more money. But his gimmick grates on my fucking nerves.

As an aside, am I the only one that thinks it weird to see Heyman in *another* stable where he's not the smartest one / mastermind?

Going all the way back, but especially in his various runs in WWE, he was never just a mouthpiece - he was always the brains & mastermind behind whoever he was working with. That was the kayfabe reason for the talent to be with him.

Roman not being it I thought was silly, but made sense for the "tribal cheif" character.

But now Rollins, too?

People like badasses.

I mean, Roman might be a face now, but he's still the same manipulative, self-serving asshole he's always been. People just cheer for him now.

And honestly, it likely wasn't a bad time for Cody to lose the belt. He's too much of goodie-two-shoes babyface to last for too long without getting booed.

He was already getting booed as far back as his program with Owens. Had he beaten Cena & still been champ / on tv, I think the crowds woulda almost completely turned on him by SS.

I really want Jeff Cobb to come back as Matanza Cueto, but I'd be totally good with him debuting to back up Gunther here to really get them both over as heels.

lol at Strowman getting released again. Good.

Hate that Kai got released. I guess that means Damage Control just isn't a thing, anymore?

I still don't get how they made Shayna this total badass in NXT, yet never did fuck all with her on the main roster. With Deville gone and now her, Zoey Stark better get ready, as she'll be next.

Shayna was surprising. Shotzi was apparently informed a bit ago that her contract wasn’t being renewed.

Damn, post-Wrestlemania culling in full effect.

Makes sense though. Roster is loaded, and lot of NXT talent they want to call up, and others they want to call up to NXT.

If you're mid, or just another jobber, you're expendable. Go try be over elsewhere and they'll bring you back.
