OK, that didn't make much sense. Strowman is a face. So is Reigns. So why does Reigns need to be bailed out by his friends?

Makes more sense if they were saving him from a heel.

Yep, its cool but its either going to crush Strowmans momentum, or crush Rollins’ monentum, all in the name of gettin Roman a little rub. Yay!

Cool guy babyface whos a fighting champion shouldnt need to go 3 on 1 to beat a guy, monster or not, whos not cheating...

Roman is not a face. His script reads like that of a face, but he's the guy the fans want to see lose, and he knows it and the writers know it. He's a heel.

Roman is not a heel. He's more of a tweener - like Orton was for many years. He gets Cena type heat because he gets shoved down our throats all the time.

Rollins and Ambrose are most certainly faces.

They were trending towards this problem when the Shield reuinted six months ago and took Strowman out before feuding with Miz, and then it went away when Roman got the virus. Back then, Strowman hadnt really gone full baby face.....now after Nicholas at Mania and Strowman being a full fledged good guy, its just plain stupid

So does Strowman get a stable, if so who? I don't see Strowman doing the underdog chasing storyline.

He’s where Rocky Maivia was for the first few years, before he turned heel and became The Rock.

Vince thinks the guy should be a star, so he gives him a way-over-the-top push. Fans are like “Who da fuq this?” and push back. Unfortunately, Roman’s not the second coming of Dwayne Johnson or Steve Austin because he doesn’t have the personality to pull off a charismatic heel turn. Whether Vince and his daughter recognize this is anyone’s guess.

Maybe Lashley and Balor team up with Stroman?!

And now they're trying to stuff it down our minds that Becky is EEEEVILLL, yet the crowd was all about her tonight.

It's not going to work. She and Bayley are the "girls next door" and the spunky underdogs among the women, and fans would never boo them.

Then again, if they got fans to boo Sami Zayn (another plucky redhead with a ska-influenced entry song), you never know.

Heres the rub, Sami was with the dastardly really good heel KO, and the fans LOVE them some Shane McMahon.

There’s no one in the womens division the fans will rally behind like Shane, and Becky has no foil like Kevin Owens.

She’d have to attack Daniel Bryan to get boo’d and even then I think they’d cheer in most towns.

What I don't get is why they don't just lean into the fan reaction. Fans have shown they'll boo Charlotte when she plays the heel. They've shown they want to cheer Becky. Have Becky play the underdog who worked her way back to a shot at the title to have it stolen by her best friend, and have Charlotte do the whole "You're my friend, but let's be real, I'm a Flair and we all know I'm waaaaay better than you and always will be" thing. Stop trying to force fans to do what you want and just give them what they want.

Was I the only one that was impressed with how well Carmella did wrestling wise at SummerSlam? I mean, she did most of the spots in that match and she was actually the only one that caught Charlotte on her corkscrew moonsault.

I can see Becky causing Charlotte to lose the title at HIAC. Get the title off Charlotte, she doesn't need it.

Apparently Rowan tore his biceps, hence why New Day took the straps on Smackdown.

Totally shocked they didn't change the title to Drew Gulak.

Samoa Joe is fng awesome.

And now we've got the sHEELd ?

[Batman]

Holy ****, that is tremendous.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

That is great, but my favorite is when Wendy's begs Braun not to flip over the restaurant.

 

[nietsroob17]

So we've got Styles vs. Joe for HITC. It only makes sense that it would be the match taking place inside the cell -- unless they want Brie or Maryse doing the Foley bump from 20 feet in the air.

I could also see a presumptive Roman/Braun or Becky/Charlotte grudge match inside the cell, but I can't imagine that much hatred behind any other possible match.

Which and when will the next NXT start will get the cal-up to the main roster in your opinion?
