Seriously though, I kinda like that Jordan was chosen. And interested to see where this goes.

Am I the only one who believe that Jason Jordan will be revealed later to be not Kurt Angle's son? They will run a story that someone invested heavily in Jason Jordan and decided to use Kurt Angle's influence to push Jordan further up the card. Later, it will be revealed that someone rich (maybe Dixie Carter) is the person behind all these and duped Angle and Greaves. This will make Jordan a major heel.
Jordan is terrible promo. He just looks so awkward.
This is going to be a failure majorly and will ruin his career.

That would be the perfect solution if you ask me.
Not a bad idea actually. Would be the next step to go (though would prefer its not DixieLand)
I just can't bring myself to care about the whole Jesse Jordan-Angle angle. Far more interested in the potential Fatal 4 way for the universal title. Reigns-Joe-Lesnar promo last week was one the most entertaining things I've seen on Raw for ages.
Renee Young looked stunning when she did the Angle interview
I don't think there's any doubt what so ever that this is all leading to a Jordan heel turn.
They've got a real obsession right now with splitting up tag team's.
She is 24/7
I love how Bryan's constantly trying to get himself released. Wants that Wrestle Kingdom match.
Apparently WWE have started negotiations with Rey Mysterio, would be great to see him have one last run, although there's always the risk of him becoming a nostalgia act. If they scrapped 205 Live and just had the cruiserweight title on Raw, that could be an interesting way of bringing him back, feuding with Neville and trying to end his reign.
He doesn't deserve to get lumped in with the cruiserweights in its current state. He's better used as an upper midcard guy.
That's my point though, I think there's more chance of him getting lost in the mid card, at least with the cruiserweight title there's a ready made storyline with no one being able to beat Neville and they would work some brilliant matches.
Dixie Carter is a television performer so bad that two different networks remover TNA because she refused to be taken off TV. There is zero chance her coming in helps anyone's career.
The general idea of Jordan and X manipulating Angle makes most sense, but Dixie is a hell no. Jeff Jarrett would be a better choice even.
If you add Rey and Enzo into the cruiserweight division then that could give the division a spark it's so desperately lacking. I don't like Enzo but you can't deny he's over. The problem I have with Rey still wrestling is he's going to end up in a wheelchair if he's not careful. The amount of knee surgeries he's had is awful.
Oh, and Fandango and Breeze need to main event Battleground.
Breezango are pretty damn awesome, agreed.
With rumours of HHH vs Angle, could see HHH/Steph playing a part to get one over Angle as hes pretty much just taken over Raw as GM in Stephanies absence.

Neville is amazing. Him vs Rey feud would be pretty good.
I wonder if Breezango write their own stuff for those segments because there's such a gap in quality between the Fashion Files and everything else WWE considers comedy. Recent rap battle aside.
I seriously doubt WWE creative had anything to do with the writing for that rap battle.
Finally got around to watching Glow, really good fun.
Anyone played Fire Pro Wrestling World? Such good fun!
Is it out on PS4??
Only PC at the moment, but you could probably run it on a potato.
A few rumours are starting to float around that WWE want CM Punk back..
Probably no chance of that happening in the near future, but I hope it does eventually happen. Lesnar was once sued by WWE after he left and he came back, nobody would have even contemplated that Bret Hart would appear on WWE TV again, but he did.
Does anyone think it will happen? And if so, how do you think they should do it? I can see him doing a Lesnar-style PPV-only type schedule a couple of years down the line. Or maybe soon after Lesnar leaves, if they offer Punk similar money.

He will be back at some point, everyone comes back.
Punk is stubborn as feck though so it might be a while away yet.

All they need to do is make him their biggest star and keep him there. That's enough to feed his ego I guess.
From what I've heard Punk doesn't want to come back and still wants to pursue MMA. I think he will come back though.
It will be a long long time though. The fact that he was served the papers on his wedding day wont escape him imo.
I'd love to see Punk back. There's a lot of guys that joined after he left that I'd love to see him go up against (again, in some cases).
He was given the WWE title for 15 months and his ego wasn't sated.
Apparently it's him & HHH with the issues, so if it's going to be anyone to lure him back, it'll be Vince.
He's got a ridiculous ego and isn't in it for the money like Lesnar, he's also cited his health as one of the key reasons for quitting. I can see why they're trying to get him back with Lesnar potentially leaving after Wrestlemania but unless they make him the undisputed top star it's not happening and Vince won't do that with someone he doesn't trust.
Punk isn't coming back. He's got too big an ego and is a bit more principled than the others to go back. Plus it was HHH who helped bring back the likes of warrior and samartino and he's the one Punk has issues with.
I can understand Punks point. Dude got himself so over, and it was killed so that Nash and HHH could have a send off match for Nash for some reason.
Punk cooled off, but even as champion, he wasnt used as a main eventer (until he pretty much turned heel nearly a year later). Cena vs Johnny Ace was main event over him
And then he ends up losing the title to Rock and doesnt get the WM main event. Was a shame. Then hes basically used to lose to part timers (Rock, Brock and then Undertaker). Then a feud with Ryback. Can see why he lost any motivation (along with the video game wanting to use Punk for their ads / front cover but WWE pushing them to use Sheamus instead)...

Wale posted somewhere online that Uso's and New Day wrote their own lines.
Uso's have really won me over since their white meat babyface days
That's probably the match I'm most looking forward to at Battleground, especially if Kofi's involved. Styles vs Owens will undoubtedly be great because they're two of the best in the business but dropping the title at a house show took away any hype. The less said about the fecking Punjabi Prison match the better.

Exactly! His WWE title reign shouldn't be held in that high of a regard when he hardly ever main evented. Even Mahal main events PPVs!
His run was filler. HHH comes out of retirement, beats him, goes straight back into retirement. Gets lumped with Nash. Cena constantly main eventing over him. Stuck in the midcard on RAW for large parts of his reign. Turned heel even though, until Daniel Bryan in '13, he was the most over guy the WWE had since Stone Cold/Rock. They just lumped the title on him until The Rock was ready to come back and face Cena and, bar his feud with The Rock, said reign was never treated with any real significance.
Thinking about it, I can't see Punk working that well as a part timer. I really don't think he has much pull with the casual fans. Tbh, I've never really been into Punk and I was a casual viewer when he was in the WWE, my friends who also watched WWE never really rated Punk either. Watching old clips of him though, he was good on the mic and in the ring but I don't think he can pull in casual viewers because he's not a beast like Lesnar or Batista. He hasn't got the charisma or star power of The Rock either. He would pull in more fans of wrestling though but I don't know how big a difference that makes to the WWE overall.
I'm not that big of a Punk fan myself and pretty much completely agree on where you're coming from. It certainly didn't help build his star power having to play second fiddle to Cena for however many months despite being the champion.
What helped Batista/Lesnar/Rock is that they excelled at other things outside WWE. Lesnar in UFC, Batista and The Rock were in some big movies, and I think Batista did quite well in MMA, too. Punk hasn't really done anything on that level since leaving WWE to improve his star power.
What I'd like to see is for Punk and Bryan to both eventually join ROH or NJPW or something. Have them in a story involving the Bullet Club. I'd rather not see Punk come back just to put over Reigns. Even though Punk and Bryan were two of the biggest stars WWE have had in years, I couldn't see them making too much of a difference even if they were to both join the same company at the same time in a cool angle involving one of the hottest acts out there in the Bullet Club. I'd love to be wrong about that, though!
I think the cult of personality around Punk has grown since he left, even casual fans would recognise it as a big deal. There's no one really anti authority on the roster at the minute and if he was allowed a bit of freedom with his promos he could be the star they need to stop WWE feeling increasingly stale and corporate, at least from the outside although that's something even Punk would struggle to achieve.
Given that was what happened last time WWE had a rap battle, this one was a resounding success. Love this version of the Usos as well.
