You skip RAW again last night? I saw you swore off it.

Heel Sheamus vs who? Lesnar has to win at SS, so Sheamus wins and then clearly loses to Lesnar? I'd be down.
I went into the rate raw thread out of habit. Of course I didn't watch lol. Sheamus just seems to make a bit of sense. he hasn't been in the world title picture for a while but he is a heel now and clearly being built up for something.

He is great at getting heat, but he really is a human muppet.

RAW hasn't been bad, Cena's been great, Ziggler has been pushed and even the tag division is great. The good has outweighed the bad, just the last 2 weeks.

Shit, I wonder who wins MITB? I had assumed it would be Bryan this year.

If Bryan recovers by MITB, then perhaps... But I ain't holding my breath for it.

Ambrose, DZ or Sheamo are the dudes I could picture winning.

Roman Reigns is probably the one winning MITB. It'll likely be the catalyst for how he'll end up in the Brock vs Rollins match at Summerslam to make it a triple-threat.

I'd personally love to see Ambrose win it and then stalk Rollins much in the same way he did last year when he was intent on stopping him from cashing in the briefcase by any means necessary, only this time around it's Dean who has the briefcase and Seth who has the title, and Rollins knowing that Ambrose is always out there waiting in the shadows and ready to cash in at any moment will have him on edge and surely be more nerve-wracking on him than anything ever has been before.

Then again, the other part of me would probably prefer if Ambrose won his first world title in a much more distinguished manner, such as winning the Rumble and then the championship at Wrestlemania, or winning it at some other PPV after earning a shot at it through some other means (as opposed to a spontaneous cash-in.)

Tag team Chamber? How would that work? The whole point of the Chamber is a 6 man all out brawl of a match that ends by pinfall or submission, thus eliminating competition in the actual Chamber

Probably like the old War Games format used to.

You have two teams (although these separate teams used to consist of four or five people respectively back in the day and not just teams of three, but whatever) and one member from each team starts. Then every five minutes, another team member enters but you don't know which member from the other team it's gonna be. In this case, if it's a 3-on-3 match, then it'll basically just be a six-man elimination match with only one new member entering at a time, and the match will only end when all three members of the opposing team are eliminated. If it's literally six different teams against one another, well, that'll just be a crowded mess and I'd be left wondering if each team would be eliminated after one of the members is pinned/submitted or if it's only after both are, but the total anarchy of it all should still be fun to witness either way.

I don't think WWE would 'stoop' to having Reigns win MITB to win his first title.

It's being reporting by some sources that more than 6 men will be in the Chamber for the Tag Title so likely we will see two members in a pod w/ 6 teams total.

Rather than the WWE World Heavyweight Championship being contested in the structure, there will be two matches on the card, with the Tag Team Championship and currently vacated Intercontinental Championship on the line.

Both matches can be game-changers, as the former will be the first time more than six men are locked inside the cage, and the latter will determine who picks up one of the most prestigious titles in WWE history after a bout of inactivity.

You say that like winning the MITB briefcase isn't a worthy accolade to have on your resume or something. Hell, they've named a PPV after the Money In The Bank match and it's considered one of the biggest PPV's of the year now. Their vision is to probably make the Summer of 2015 "The Summer Of Reigns" or some shit. I.E. He starts the Summer (June) off by winning MITB and then he caps it off by winning the title in August at Summerslam.

It'd be wiser to wait his first title victory out until Wrestlemania 32, but I don't know if Vince can stand putting it off for that long. I figure they want Reigns vs Lesnar II as the WWE Championship match next year, but rather than tell the exact story they did this year (Reigns winning the Rumble to earn a shot at Lesnar and his championship), they might decide to do the opposite - have Reigns walk into Wrestlemania as champion and have Brock win the Royal Rumble (even though the 2016 Rumble is in Reigns' home-state of Florida) to earn a shot at him instead.

That'll be cool, I guess.
The New Day are prolly gonna retain at Payback and perhaps lose at EC to (preferably) Harper and Rowan.

I'd be cool with Harper/Rowan or Axelmania/Macho Mandow (Should that be an ongoing thing).. surprisingly I thought the Macho Mandow gimmick was going to get a lot of flak but the way they've done it so far it is apparently getting a great reception from crowd, the IWC and backstage officials.

I'd be cool with Macho Mandow/Axelmania, too, but it's a bit early for them, tbh.

Kisaro ain't regaining the titles for sure, so yeah, that leaves every other team as a possible candidate to win the titles.
Heck, The New Day retaining is also a possibility.

Personally, Harper/Rowan as the new tag champs would tickle my fancy.

I think what he meant was that MITB is kind of a underdog-thingy, usually the guys that win it aren't the same guys that you picture winning your their title without such a thing. Reigns, however, is treated like a beast and could win his first title clean and without any leverage. Maybe it wouldn't hurt his credibility if he were to cash it in a week later or something, but where's the fun in that? It would just feel like a missed opportunity for another guy to sit on the briefcase till the time's right, money in the bank's suposed(at least in my mind) to push guys that aren't really quite there yet with the top contenders, but who we can imagine holding the championship all the same. Reigns is not that, like I said, reigns is booked like a monster and would be realisticaly able to win it the classical way.
