With Evan Bourne out with injury, when he does return, who do you see him tagging up with? Or will he be solo?

Kofi is with R-Truth at the moment and everyone will forget Evan teamed up with Kofi anyways. Do you want to see Evan Bourne teaming up with someone?

I feel Evan should be on SD, he could face Cesaro, Rhodes and many others. RAW will only hold him back.

WWE's going to be extremely cautious with Bourne now after this past year to the point he'll probably just job a bit when he returns and then they'll release him. He's just not reliable.

Yea I can't see Bourne being used as anything more than jobber/Superstars material. He's got to be on the list of guys who are close to being released. I wouldn't be surprised that when he came back, WWE jobbed him out til he asked for his release.

Raw or SD won't hold him back, Evan has made sure he will be held back and not trusted for at least a year

My only worry is that I don't believe he'd get a US/IC shot during hs comeback. He hasn't got anybody to tag with, I'd have him on Superstars and Smackdown maybe.

Smackdown could do good with another face in the mid-card.

I think you're one of the few people who think he's actually going to be pushed. There are so many other mid-card faces that could take his place. Evan is pretty much expendable at this point.

He'll probably be jobber material now but I hope the jobber gets released. He has no charisma/good mic ability and his physique isn't champion material. They shouldn't put any faith in him now considering his suspensions.

Why the hell would WWE even consider pushing Bourne?? He screwed himself out of any potential push with not 1 but 2 wellness policy breaches. I see him rotting away on Superstars. He could have great matches with Kidd, Gabriel and Sin Cara but he should be nothing more than cannon fodder for them.

JTG is useless but eh, it could work.

If he does return at all this year, he'll be on his own again IMO. I don't see WWE putting him with Kofi again. If by the time he comes back, WWE has their new network up and running and their rumored Cruiserweight division, he'd fit in there. But i'm sure WWE will be wary of pushing him straight away, especially since he got 2 strikes in a row and he's 1 strike away from being fired.

Forgot about the Cruiserweight division, he'd fit in there nicely.

I'd like a Rey/Bourne feud, but that'd never happen.

He will probably be nXt fodder putting over the FCW guys.

Then fed to Ryback.

Then released.

Then TNA/ROH.

Put him in a tag team with someone equally as awful as him like Ryder for example and use them to job to The Uso's, Piss Time Playa's etc.

I think this is the key, he may not even return to WWE tv. He is still a long way off from returning from his injury and with two Wellness Policy suspensions whilst he was champion he could be released this year. If he is kept and does return to tv I see him being used in the role Tyson Kidd has been playing for a while, he will pretty much lose to everyone but put on decent matches.
