Backstage Update on the WWE Draft, Possible Gimmick Changes for Superstars

[Dale]

Yeah uh not gonna lie…kinda just spit that one out. Can’t lie…can’t make it make sense

But there’s no way he shouldn’t end this show with a World Championship

He's still gonna win the title, I just honestly don't see when unless they get a title on Raw BEFORE he returns. They need that title on Seth ASAP ready for his triumphant victory at the Rumble.

That or Rock/Roman doesn't happen and he challenges him instead.

Fuck knows, shit is so muddy. Maybe we'll get some clarity after Clash.

Bro I need them to split these titles so badly cause it’s hard to fantasy book

As of now, I wouldn’t let it be be Seth(who probably is second) but I’d go Lashley

Then Cody beats Lashley.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the draft purely because they don't have a fucking clue how to undo this world title mess yet.

You simply have Roman lose lol. I know that’s unspeakable but I don’t think that’ll hurt him too much after a two year reign

 

[Dale]

Well fuck, if only we all would have thought of that before...

That’s not the issue…

Who’s over enough to beat him?

I pitched the star lust in the dust but he’s hurt

I’ve pitched Baby Steiner if they can’t get Dwayne for Mania

But truly right now after Drew(and even that’s questionable) who beats him?

 

[Dale]

I dunno how you can question who's over enough to beat him, then throw in the name of a rookie with less than a years? tv experience to beat him at WrestleMania of all places.

Picking someone to beat him is easy. It's then the logistics of is it for both belts, or is it for one? If someone wins just one, do they automatically move to Raw with it or do they stay on SmackDown and go between both shows until they lose it (presumably to a Raw guy etc)

The easiest way to do the one belt thing is have Theory cash in for it, the contract has always just been for one title so have theory win and take the title to Raw and then have him drop it to Cody.

I think the best option is MITB Contract, Theory cashes in wins leaves with both belts, then Heyman says that while he won a title he only won A title have the contract say he is able to challenge for the Universal or the World, that due to the unexpected nature of Roman defending both titles at once it was never assumed it would be permanent or a combined title so the contract, never intended the challenger be awarded both.

Theory takes one to Raw, Roman keeps one. Then you take it off Theory with Seth or KO

First: I absolutely support the draft being a more post-Mania thing. Like allow a PPV after mania for those storylines to have loose ends tied up then mix up the rosters a touch.

Second: I agree on the idea of if they want to keep the brand split to break the titles up and give both shows a champion.

Third: I hope Roman drops the belt soon. Even if his work is great, a 700 day title reign in the modern day is hard as fuck to do (especially for weekly tv) and if they do him vs Rock at Mania, it can easily be without a title on the line. That way it is less predictable and the storyline is more about family pride.

At this point the title does nothing for Roman, it'll make whoever dethrones him look amazing, though adding more days doesn't matter at this point. And The Rock doesn't need it obviously I mean why do you need to put The Rock over. So let him drop the belts. Roman would still be considered amazing. And if you really want Roman VS The Rock for the belt have him win it back in a few months. I have not understood WWE's logic with this, whose reign are they trying to get him to pass?

It's funny.....when Cena was champion, people thought he was on TV too much.

When the champion now isn't on TV as much, it's different.

Champ should be sporadic in appearances.

Yeah but he's not on PREMIUM LIVE EVENTS either.

 

[Deezy]

Yeah but he's not on ppvs either.

*PLE's

This is a new era.

Hogan wasn't on every PPV back in the day either.

 

[John McHenry]

corrected to PLE

But you have to agree holding the belt this long in this day in age isn't necessary what is the point of a two year reign?
