yeah, but also shes been really good since her return. I think having her win then making somebody chase it before Rhea returns is an easy story to tell.

‘Really good’. After years of practice and being pushed because of who she’s related to, she’s finally managed to achieve the bare minimum level of competence you’d expect from a wrestler performing in front of five people and a dog in a community centre in Nowheresville, Indiana. Well done to her :rolleyes:

Has she?

I don't watch the weekly shows, just catch up with a review and the highlights, but nothing has stood out from them about Nia

Nah. They've got the draft coming up and plenty of talent on Smackdown that are at a bit of a loose end.

Wonder what that means for Judgement Day though. Wouldn't say Ria carries them but she's definitely the main draw.
 
I'd go with Liv to be honest - let her run with this heel schtick until Rhea is back (they said several months, so you'd assume it'll be later this year?)

Shes been really good. I know you just put a bunch of words there, but theres a reason they picked her to main event in Australia with Rhea. Shes come of as believable since her return.

Shes been featured well especially on road to Mania without having a mania match itself.
looking at the 'heels' there arent many I can look at and think, they would be good.
Maybe Dakota if Damage Control get moved to Raw (but its happening before the draft, and they said they would crown the new champ next week). Unless they open it to both rosters.

I think this could work, with Liv playing up the 'where was sympathy for me?' card. She did what Rhea did to her, but one gotcheered, the other got booed. They can defo make that work and then have Rhea return to defeat Liv (also it plays into the LMRT stuff)

I think you've said it all there. She was essentially fed to Rhea in the build to Mania, and a quick check of her match history reveals the last broadcast match she won not by DQ was 1st January. She's basically enhancement talent at this point, and that's probably about the best use for her.

Liv seems to be being built into a heel, and there's also basically any of Damage CTRL. With the draft coming up, there are plenty of better options than Nia.

Well they have the world heavyweight champion....

They've got plenty they can do.

Obvious route is keeping Priest as WHC.


After that, Finn was the first universal champion and has basically been forgotten about. That's a story if they want to go that way.

Dom is basically presented as a bit of a loose cannon that's had Rhea there to keep him out of trouble, and he's also got a storyline brewing with Rey (although I expect that to be part of the next Mania).

This is a great point and with that said I hope they draft Jaida Parker to Raw and give her as long a title reign as she wants
 
So do we think Finn or Priest will end up being turned on? Be cause it sure seems like one of them will be out of JD soon.

I think they'll try turn Priest face - but I would go with Balor... think you get a lot more sympathy for him if he's booted out, especially 'cos of his relationship with JD McDonagh

I also don't think there's a great face run in Priest- and he's a weaker character alone.

Got to be Finn if they're going that route.

Priest did most of the leg-work in the tag ladder match defending their titles, and is now WHC. Finn is also the more natural face in that feud.
 
I’ve been given two tickets for tonight’s show in Birmingham so I’m taking my 7 year old lad to see his first wrestling show. He really got into WWE over the last year and that ramped up massively over the last month with Mania and he’s obsessed Cody so I’m buzzing to see how he gets on.

I could see them having Priest take leadership completely with Rhea out, and booting out Finn (could be good if they try replace him with somebody)
Finn can bring back the Demon too.

I think Priest would have been a good turn whilst they were doing the stuff with Truth.

Me too

Got excited at every appearance and twitter promo. He's in a different league. It felt like such an exciting period. Like being a kid again.

I was hoping he'd hang around a little longer after mania or at least put a date on his return. Any word on when he'll be back? Really don't want to be waiting until 2025.

Nice, I'm going to the O2 show on Friday. It's always a good experience watching it live.
 
House shows are definitely better then run-of-the-mill TV tapings - sure you won't see any blow away matches or angles like you might on TV, but there's way more crowd engagement, much less downtime, and overally the wrestlers will just be having more fun.

A PLE/PPV is probably the best of the lot though (I'd guess - I've never been to one though)

For anyone who missed it... This is so objectively impressive as a segment.

They could've been doing cool stuff like that and Rock's from-the-shadows entrance for years but this cretin...

Made sure they didn't.

he did the 'something something cody rhodes' version from Dark Order :lol: Amazing.
But thats awesome.
Did you love it too?

I’ve no idea where he picked that up from, he said he saw it on YouTube ..? :lol:

He knows the actual words too but he finds it hilarious when he sings that!

Yeah, I really really enjoyed it. Just a really good entertaining, fun night. A real break from reality. Drew was on top form. Cody Rhodes must’ve stayed for an hour afterwards taking pictures and getting autographs. Ricochet was amazing live too. A really great show.

He really is. Taking him last night and now this has him completely hooked. I’m hoping it’ll make it easier for me to convince the wife to allow me to fulfil my bucket list wish of attending mania.
 
New tag belts as expected. They feck. Think they're the nicest new belts thus far.
