Backstage News On Triple H And Stephanie From Last Night's RAW, The Ascension Coming Soon?

[Prince Bálor]

Hopefully they won't debut as the newest members of Wyatt's family as they were rumored to before. I'd rather see both Bray Wyatt (at least for the time being) and The Ascension stick to being on their own.

Yeah, but I kinda have a feeling they will. If they wanna continue this whole Ambrose/Wyatt saga into the Rumble, then they could bring in The Ascension to cost Ambrose the victory.

But yeah, The Ascension debuting would prolly be for the best if they were on their own. We'll see what happens, though.

HHH and Steph, my opinion of you:

About god damn time. I figured it would be soon when their latest promo in NXT to Balor and Hideo said "The war isn't over" but followed it up "the next time we meet". I knew they'd be moving up soon after that.

Wyatt included or not I hope they do the Ascension right. So far from the promos I've seen on Smackdown and stuff I'm not so sure. Here's to hoping.

Yes, doing Balor/Itami vs The Ascension on the main roster again would be sweet. I'd be up for it.

With those vignettes, The Ascension doesn't seem like they'd be siding with Bray, they're not creepy enough with their new Road Warriors-like gimmick. LOL
I think they'd be better off on their own, though.

We'll see what happens, can't wait for next week!

Maybe they should stop crying about a former employee that is calling them out on their bullshit, and try and fix it by telling creative to fix the shit character, booking and pushes...

I kinda want to see the darker vampire Ascension take out The New Day, that would be cool - I'm assuming they then lose the titles to the Usos at 'Mania, which I wouldn't mind.

I could see The New Day winning the titles from Miz and Mizdow at Fast Lane, unless The Miz & Mizdow lose to Usos at the Rumble, which I hope it doesn't happen. I just can't stand The Usos.

I'm pulling for The Ascension to win the titles at WM31, though. Maybe there'll be a three-way or a four-way match for the Tag Team titles. We'll see.
But anyways, The Ascension FTW!

Judging by the reactions they got in RAW a week ago, I doubt it... unless that crowd was full of losers (after all, New Day got a good reaction 2 weeks ago) but still, if The Ascension are coming, I assume they will get the titles sooner rather than later. I guess this all depends on reactions.

Personally, I can stand The Usos. They get a bit stale, but end up putting on great matches during PPVs in the end. I blame the creative direction of the tag team division, it seems to be "oh yeah the champions job out on RAW, the #1 contenders pull off shenanigans and do random shit, oh look the champions win at PPV" which is very annoying. I'd like to see a stronger division, just like in 2014; an ideal tag team division right now would just be The Usos, The Ascension, The New Day, Mizdow and Miz, The Brotherhood, International Airstrike, Los Matadores and The Prime Time Players. IMO, they should be doing more #1 contenders tournaments through out the year and perhaps every month, choose one midcard title where they only actually wrestle on PPV to make it feel more special.

The New Day is pretty damn fine, in my book. I heard that Vince isn't high on 'em anymore, though. (shocker) So, they might not get the titles soon.
The New Day seem like they're booked as kinda annoying babyfaces heading to a heel turn, which I would absolutely love. When I first heard The New Day was gonna be a stable, I immediately wanted 'em as a heel stable. We'll see how it goes, though.

I agree about the tag division. It needs to be mixed up a bit.

 

[Red Rain]

The Ascension is coming. Gross. Paige coming sounds a lot hotter. H*ll, Lisa Ann coming sounds better.

The New Day remind me of a Tyler Recks gimmick attempted at one time. He was a self-help guru but he was actually booked as a heel.
To get some perspective, its closer to Daniel Bryan winning the WHC for the first time. It's also when the 'Yes' chant began.
It's sort of an 'I told you so!' attitude. It's preachy. They will celebrate excessively over mundane things. They will turn heel.

 

[Leo C]

The New Day has to be turning heel in the future, yes. Last time I saw them on Raw, no reaction (not that it's their fault, it's not like their booking has been excellent or anything). Guess turning could help.

The New Day as heels? Yes, please! :yay:

It seems as if Vince just hates everything not named Cena, Lesnar or Orton (although even he's not been booked properly). Apparently he thinks Bo Dallas wasn't over, despite the "WE BOLIEVE!" chants...

TBH, I kinda like Big E especially so a heel turn wouldn't be that great for me unless we got a new face team in that would change up the division like Cody and Goldust (who I still think should've split at WM30 after having the best tag team matches of their lives) did. Speaking of Goldust, the guy surprised me so much when he came back, definitely return of the year when you look at how quick he was and the lack of ring rust he had.

Yeah. That's why I don't have a hard time believing CM Punk when he said 'Cena is all Vince cares about' and that is true, with the shitload of great talent on the roster, little Juanito is still relevant. Fuck that shit, man.

I do like Big E, myself. I kinda like Kofi, but Woods - not so much. I've always wanted to see Kofi's heel work 'cause he's been a babyface forever.
We'll see what happens with the tag division, though. The Ascension is coming, but they should also call up Enzo & Cass, The Vaudevillains and The Lucha Dragons, there are also another two teams down in NXT which I don't care about, they're jabronis, so call 'em up so they can continue to job.

Cody and Goldust is gonna be saved for WM31, but yeah, it should've definitely been done earlier. Goldy looked great when he came back last year.

I wonder if The Ascension take out all of the tag teams, and we actually get Cody questioning his other persona, thinking he's not good enough for Goldust as a tag partner - he can try and see if the crowd cheers for normal Cody like they used to, if they do, go with face Cody getting over big time and if the crowd for some reason hates Cody, make him turn on Goldust and claim that Goldust was never good enough for Cody.
