I thought Reigns was going to win until I read that he may have legitimately signed a new Brock type contract. If so this is a good time of the year for someone else to be champion so he can disappear for a few months and then he can win it again for Wrestlemania season. Although I will say I think Reigns vs Lashley would be a big money main event as well perfect for a PPV like Crown Jewel and they could get the US title off Lashley with a fatal four way in the current storyline.

Riddle and Rollins and Gunther and Sheamus have a high ceiling quality wise.

Liv title reign likely put of its misery.

Triple H love Shaina and she's not young. So, you kind of need to put the belt on her now if you want a long program with Ronda. Shaina is 42. If you're gonna do it it needs done.

I love everything about Gunther/Sheamus. It is the perfect mid card/IC title feud.

Man……Gunther is so good.

I am fine with him where he is, but put him in a world title program right now and I am so for it.

It just feels so inevitable that Roman wins like to take the tittles off of him in a regular match.... But then again no one to help him. ....... Idk .....

Roman winning is the right call. I still think the one to beat him should be Bron Breakker/Steiner.

They need to split those tittles again. Bring back the gold legacy belt for the older dudes and stuff like that and then the main WWE tittle.

Got teary eyed with the ovation for Sheamus. That's appreciation right there

Also liking the acknowledgement of Giovanni Vinci. No use to revert to Aichner when the other two Imperium members are using different names now. Seems it'll be a storyline between Imperium and the Brawling Brutes. This'll be a treat

The tease of cash in was well executed except for the inclusion of Tyson. I don't see the need unless the justification is, "Let these two men finish what they started"

Everything else were okay and made sense storyline wise, which was rare before pre Triple H regime

Solid PPV overall

Heel Dominik Mysterio should join Legado Del Fantasma, not Judgment Day

That'll be the ultimate swerve!

But I think Legado is a face team prior to the call up. Do they really need another heel stable?

Lol it's the latter, if Vince was running things

Legado is too big of a group though for JD. Maybe AJ joins them to go up against LDF. Daaaaaamn stables are too stacked

Now I don't understand the Roman win if they're planning to add Braun and Kross already in the picture. It's just too saturated now. Would've been a perfect time to have Roman rest

The plan is most definitely Roman/Rock

It's possible rock can't go for a 30 minute match ? He's old, yeah great shape but old and really over bulked and he gets hurt a lot even filming. But Building up dudes for a big multi man match night two of mania and do Roman rock night one. Rock beats him does it alone takes a lot out of him cuz his family wouldn't interfere cuz family. Then have him loose it in a ladder match where the tittles can be split by people pulling the separate belts down at the same time.

Yeah I've seen those suggestions from all over and it just makes sense. I'd add that for the stipulation to happen, have a winner decides the rules match and a big time baby face mentions the company has been held hostage for too long, the brands needs champions. Whoever wins a title isn't already qualified for the other

Problem with this though is you'll take the spotlight off of the first win or whoever gets the first belt

Another suggestion I've seen is have rock and Roman night one. Then have Cody win the rumble and challenge for one belt on night two. Have him pull the big gold belt back out and tell Roman he's challenging for the legacy. Roman beats rock night one and looses the gold belt to Cody night two. Then you can have Roman slowly unravel on his way to droping the universal or what ever belt.
