6 weeks... so he'll be back for Mania. What if they have him vacate the title and put the title on the line in the Rumble?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Just have Priest cash in on the Vacated title.

Punk cash in his Rumble win at the Chamber, Seth returns and we get Punk (c) vs. Rollins for Mania still.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

6 weeks? Man I dunno. Torn MCL and partially torn meniscus?

I guess it's possible.

Either way this sucks. I'm happy they have so many routes. Wish they'd reward McIntyre but it'd suck for him to win like this. Would also be great to reward Priest. Maybe Balor wins and Priest cashes. Could be a lot of things.

I think they could also have the Rumble be for the title and the EC for the title shot at Wrestlemania.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I compare Seth to Omega in terms of just working through injuries and we know Seth has said he does have legit back issues that he's worked through for a few years now. Now you add an MCL injury, I don't think they would do this but vacate the title, have the Rumble be for the vacated title, have Priest cash in, etc. Tell Seth to go home for a while and heal up.

I don't think he needs to be gone for over a year like Omega but bringing him back for MITB in July, he can rekindle his feud with Punk then. Which could work because Seth can come back and call it the "Summer of Rollins" and play off Punk's history. We saw Drew wrestled at Wrestlemania last year, and was off TV until July where he showed up at MITB to challenge Gunther. Seth can be off TV for a few months and come back when he's more healed, plus the roster is so top heavy that it's not going to be a big hit creative wise if he were to be off TV for a few months.

Does he miss Wrestlemania 40? Sure but you can add that to his character and how he's determined to become Champion again and ensure he walks into Mania 41 as Champion.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I know the 'Butch' character doesn't work if the Brawling Brutes are over, but I'm not sure his pretty bland 'Bruiserweight' persona is gonna work on the main roster.

Him and Tyler Bate could be solid tag team until the inevitable breakup, though.

Could see them doing what they did with Rollins before his match with HHH at WM. Got hurt in Janaury (thanks Joe...) and he basically didn't compete until WM.

We don't need Rollins competing much anyways, now there's a reason for him to hold off until WM.

And a Rollins/Punk feud doesn't need matches in-between or the cliche "can they coexist?!?" tag match before WM. A war of words is exactly what people wanted.

I'm just happy Triple H is finally fixing that creative blunder that was 'Butch' and he's back to being Pete Dunne and the 'Bruiserweight.' Time will tell if it works or not but we'll see.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Nick Aldis doesn't play games Mr. Heyman. The fact he threatened to vacate the Championship if Roman didn't sign was genius. Now use it when he decides to try to take off for a few months. "If he doesn't defend the title at the Elmination Chamber, I will vacate the title."

Heyman: Ok fine, who is his opponent?

"Creative blunder" that got him over and gave him purpose.

That specific name is/was silly but the character change and putting him with Sheamus + Ridge Holland was what both newbies needed.

I doubt either would've made it past this most recent roster purge without their time with Sheamus, IMO.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Advertising Rollins kicking off Raw with an update on the future of the WHC....

Doubt he'd vacate it right?

Or if he HAS other vacate it because they know for sure he'll miss WM, do they just make the Rumble for the vacated title?

The character was fine, it's the fact that they made it just Butch is what sucked.

Pete "Butch" Dunne or "Butch Dunne" would've been better than just Butch.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Roman getting mad at Jimmy, Solo defending Jimmy but you can tell he's getting sick of it. Just like Cody said....

"April 3rd, Tribal chief, you gotta wake up and remember what it’s like to lose. You’ve gotta wake up without these titles. That means the most in our world, and when that happens, here’s what else happens. Jey is gonna leave you. And then, Jimmy will leave you too.”

“Solo leaves you too, and when solo leaves you, this man, he becomes an advocate again.”

By the time we get to Mania, there will be no family to help Roman against Cody.

If Roman was smart, he'd get them to make them in all the NFL team colors so he can rake in more revenue to surpass R-Truth! Seriously though, if they made that in Ravens colors I'd buy it for sure.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Pretty Deadly: We prepared all week to face Butch, then Tyler Bate goes out there and brings in Pete Dunne, a man we've never seen or heard of before!

It's only a matter of time.

They've already been doing it occasionally over the years, having WWE merch mashups with local sports teams. Surprised they don't do it more often.

It does its job too, I always want to get it because of the mashup factor.

Gonna be hard to say no to the upcoming WWE NHL titles, though the price tag will keep me away for sure. They're probably holding off/banking on the Leafs winning and debuting them at MITB (which if they had any knowledge of hockey would know that's a stupid thing to bank on).

I so want the Ravens Title Belt but that price is keeping me from getting it.
