Honestly, it doesn't really matter at this point. I'd bet they would wait for the bigger show to put Reigns over on, but the title is on Cena. When a guy has the title seemingly every 6 months for a decade, it kinda takes away from it. So they either keep it on their go-to, or they anoint Reigns a little bit ahead of schedule. But he's over as all hell and it's a thrown - together match on a throwaway a PPV. If he wins it, ok. If he doesn't, ok. It would be a lackluster way to give him the big rub, but it would lead to more intrigue into SS.

I simply don't get Roman Reigns. I get that the women like him, but his in-ring work is nothing to write home about, his mic work about the same as his in-ring work. I get the look thing, but Chris Masters had that too. Roman Reigns to me is anything but main event. He does have a look, no doubt, but that's it. He has nothing else. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have the look, work-rate and mic ability.

He's a badass with a 'don't fuck with me' look. Haven't seen enough of him as a singles but he has potential to grow into a headliner. They've got big plans so working with guys like Orton will bring him along.

Warner you were right, this Tyson Kidd storyline from NXT is golden.

He has a look that they like and think they can sell and he fits the description in Vince's head of a main eventer. That can get you really, really far. You may see him as Chris Masters, which I disagree with, but what did Luger have? Batista? Del Rio? Even when they wanted to push Rock hard from the start or Edge (the first few times, when he kept getting injured) or Brock. They weren't next level workers. They didn't have the strongest mic skills.

Ambrose and Rollins are more well-rounded, but they're also two of the most well-rounded performers on the entire roster. Rollins is quite arguably the best active wrestler on the big roster. Ambrose as a character is phenomenal, and is one of the most over guys on the roster despite being miscast as a face. They're all doing well for themselves now. They'll all get their run.

It's simple & fun. Loved the Gabriel turn. Love the Kidd promos.

Did you get to Kidd/Gabriel vs Zayn/Neville yet?

Yeah, I'm through everything. The tag match was impressive.

This show has been solid, but the booking has been questionable. They really seem to be playing it safe for SummerSlam. I am happy that they did what they did with Rollins/Ambrose, it makes no sense for them to blow that matchup on what's amounted to a throwaway PPV so far.

Vince all at teasing the IWC with a Ziggler win there

Did Zeb just do some foreshadowing by calling Rusev a dancing bear?

Is anybody in the Austin area thinking about going to Raw on Monday night? I might have an extra ticket.
