It would if they knew it was an injury that would take 6+ months to heal.

Well they don't know how long it's going to heal so it wouldn't make any sense to take it off him.

I'm just saying, theoretically, if they knew the injury was that severe this soon, it would make sense.

If John Cena broke his leg on Raw the night after winning the title, he's obviously going to miss 8 months (4 days in Cena time), so it would make sense to make that sort of decision that soon if they were sure of the severity.

If Barrett needs surgery, I'm sure they'll strip him too (ic title ladder match on raw!!! Do it!!!). But if he's only out 4 or 5 weeks, he could just do the bad news thing until then.

And it's not the world title, so they could make a story out of this. He's been the Authority's "hitman" lately, so them keeping the title on him when he's injured while they took it off Bryan, whom they don't like, makes perfect storyline sense.

Or they could just ignore the fact that the belt isn't being defended, like the majority of Ambrose's US Title reign, I prefer your suggestion though

Technically, and I don't agree with it at all, his belt was defended. At house shows.

Re: The OS WWE Spoilers Thread

The same source that revealed Daniel
Bryan's injuries earlier this year reports that WWE
has decided on the top four SummerSlam
matches, including the Brock
Lesnar vs. John
Cena match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title that was previously
leaked.


According to SEScoops.com,
other matches that are reportedly planned are Brie
Bella vs. Stephanie
McMahon, Bray
Wyatt vs. Chris Jericho
and Roman
Reigns vs. Randy Orton. It's
possible that Reigns faces Triple
H after their showdown at the end of RAW last night.<!--INFOLINKS_OFF-->

HHH vs reigns would go over better

Re: The OS WWE Spoilers Thread

I get this feeling HHH/Reigns is being saved for a PPV after Summerslam to helps network renewals. At least it gives something for Orton to do.

I'm guessing they'll save HHH/Reigns for Hell in a Cell.

Wonder what they decided to do with him.

Re: The OS WWE Spoilers Thread

I don't think he even qualifies as an interesting return anymore let alone a huge one.

He'll ramble, make no sense, and say WHOO a few times. The announcers will tell us how great it was.

more Miz stuff/less Ziggy stuff, unfortunately :/

although I'm not sure it works as well with heel Miz.

Re: The OS WWE Spoilers Thread

I think he'd hold Miz down honestly. I think this current version of Miz's character could have legs, and he can do well with it.

I think Flair should join Rollins. Flair is better as a heel, there's the connection with the authority with Orton and Triple H, and Rollins needs something if he is to be a world champion caliber guy. Of the three members of the shield, he'd be the least believable champ at this point.

He's much more believable than Ambrose, at this point. If for no other reason than because he has the briefcase right now. Whether he's championship material yet is irrelevant. He has the briefcase and it's not unfathomable or unbelievable that he could be champion soon.


And for what it's worth, I think he's just as good as the other former Shield members. (I know I'm a huge fan, so my opinion is biased).
But here's how I see it.

Ambrose - best on the mic, has an incredible charisma
Rollins - best in the ring, has an intangible charisma; although he is better suited to be a babyface.
Reigns - best charisma, if only because he's got "IT".

Rollins has the case, so yeah, from a storyline perspective, he's closest to being champ. But he'd be the least believable AS champ. Ambrose was the singles guy for most of the Shield's run. He was the mouthpiece and the guy that did singles matches in the beginning. He's crazy over right now, and I feel like the crowd buys into him more than they do Rollins.

I don't think Rollins is any better in the ring than Ambrose. They have different styles. Rollins, to me, is a more polished Jeff Hardy, Ambrose is a more athletic Mick Foley. They're both very, very good. Ambrose is miles ahead of Seth on the mic.

With Reigns, he's just got a magnetic quality. He knows how to get the crowd behind him. He's crazy athletic for a guy his size. He's too reliant on the Superman punch. That's my biggest complaint. I can't think of anyone that uses a non finishing move so often.
