I felt bad for Lashley. It's crazy to make him out to be the underdog against Omos. Not to mention, it looks like a last second decision to have them go against each other. They really need a big payoff on Cody vs Rollins, and I'm doubtful they'll get it. And pushing Theory so much still doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I mean his match is against a punter....

I think he's just fine for killing segments on TV which when you insist on a 3 hour show, you need guys who can do this. It's why Miz remains a valuable member of the roster or Ziggler. Or even Rollins the past month. I've found his storyline annoying AF, but he's killed multiple segments multiple weeks and they are desperate for it.

But totally with you on Lashley. I know they gave him the spot of knocking Omos off his feet, so I feel comfortable he isn't getting squashed, but I don't see how they have a clean finish without hurting one or the other which makes no sense. So my prediction is we get run-ins by the squash victims and have a typical WWE screwy finish to get out of this.

Theory beating guys like Balor and Ricochet just seems wrong. They're simply better than he is. I'd actually rather have the punter win because he's an interesting character. There's nothing compelling about Theory - in or out of the ring. Even when he was in NXT, he was just a bit player.

I think theory has a lot of potential he's young he's got good size and he talks well and works hard. He's a good worker. I can see him, Bron and montez main eventing a mania one day!

The best two stunner takers were the Rock and Billy Gunn. Gunn would stand straight up and fall straight down. Rock would do the flip back.

I can see me not caring about the WWE anymore - though I do like Ford and Bron - even if that is the stupidest name in pro rasslin.

Theory has potential — we’ll see where it goes when he actually gets going and gets to be himself a bit. They’ve pretty much exclusively had him doing goofy stuff when he talks.

Ford has a great look and is an unbelievable athlete, but again, he’s too silly (as of now). Also, I don’t see enough basics with him. His matches are interesting/entertaining when he does a flip over the top rope, and then again when he goes for the splash off the top.

Bron is great and is only going to be greater. The Steiners getting inducted is a good sign for him potentially switching his name when he gets to the main roster.

Lastly, one name that hasn’t been mentioned - Gable Steveson. He’s going to get a humongous push and while we haven’t seen him work or heard him speak, he, if anyone has the potential to be that Kurt Angle, Rousey kind of natural.

Yeah he's gonna be pushed as a star from the start no doubt. I can see him beating Orton's record as youngest world champion. He's only 21.

Gable and Bron are the only young guys I see as competing to being the future face of WWE, at this point.

I think in terms of face of the company, I think Bron is more likely because:

1. Already showing he has the charisma, mic/ring work.
2. Gable has implied he wants to do UFC. So at some point years from now he won't be available for WWE for long periods of time.

But I do think both have potential to be mania main eventers. Brock vs Gable writes itself. And Vince is probably salivating at the thought of Bron vs Roman.

Bron's real good, but I think Gable easily has the higher ceiling. Bron's average size for a strictly power wrestler will stick out against bigger guys like Roman and Drew. He'll need to develop a more multi-dimensional character, imo.

There's rumors they're gonna start a heel stable led by Edge.

I love the idea. If it were up to me, members:

Edge
Damian Priest
A repackaged/renamed Dijak/T-Bar
Someone from NXT (Von Wagner)

FULL CIRCLE!

They should debut Veer Mahaan w/ Del Rio's old gimmick (the one they tried giving to Ali that made him walk out). He'd be perfect for that.

He better get himself in shape then soon. He’s too flabby for Vince. He’s not going to put the belt on someone with that much flab around them no matter how well they perform in the ring. It’s very rare he looks past that.
