Do you think that the reason that the divas revolution isn't going as planned is because even though they moved the NXT women to the main roster, they are limiting them in terms of what they do in their matches. On NXT, especially the takeover specials they kill it, but in their matches on raw and smackdown they don't. Isn't the larger issue the way that Vince thinks that female wrestlers should be portrayed. Until that changes, it doesn't matter if you bring in the best female wrestler in the world it won't make a difference.
I think there are two reasons it’s not working. One is what you stated above. The other is that they are being booked poorly in the group setting. In order for things to change, we need to see how good they are as individuals. The team packaging got old after a few weeks.
Why replace Rowan in the Wyatt family with Braun? Is Rowan injured, or does he have some sort of heat with management?
Rowan is out of action with a biceps injury he suffered in June so he is not able to wrestle right now. There is no heat on him.
Sasha Banks had a tremendous match with Becky Lynch, then was held off tv for several weeks. Then she has an even better match with Bayley and is left of RAW after having a minimal role at Summerslam. Why is she being overlooked after excellent showings at the big NXT shows? Wouldn't it make more sense to capitalize on her efforts, not to mention her huge popularity among the more hardcore fans?
Basically, as mentioned above, it’s the difference in how HHH views the women and how Vince McMahon does. HHH sees them as a main event attraction while Vince hasn’t committed to that yet.
I heard there was speculation that Lesnar vs Taker 3 would have Stone Cold as the special ref. Whether that's true or not, you think it would be a smart idea for WWE to have that take place at MSG on Oct 3rd and make the WWE Network free for the week of that?
I don’t see that happening there. I see that match happening on a PPV (whether Austin were involved or not) because the company still sells PPVs, despite how cheap the Network is, and they wouldn’t give up that revenue. But if they did decide to do it at MSG, WWE would be crazy to make the Network free for everyone. They can keep up their free month for new subscribers, but there is no good business reason to give away something of that caliber, which people will undoubtedly pay for.
I know it's too early to tell but to you think the addition of Braun Strowman is going to help Bray Wyatt regain any of the steam he lost. Between his size and the way he outright dismantled Roman and Dean, Braun has already made the feud more interesting for me anyway.
It all depends on the booking at this point. And even if they book him perfectly, a lot of fans will still remember how easily John Cena destroyed him and the family during that feud. Fans remember that kind of thing when Creative shows us a guy doesn’t matter with how they book him, people take notice.
