I kinda like Aids's shout of a random Rock return here... Does that make me a terrible fan? :urm:
I don't know if people think that, but it does seem like they're kinda setting something like that up.
The references to Reigns' family member Jimmy Uso on SD could have easily been applied to Rocky. I just don't know why there would be a Rock return at a "B" PPV (of course, Taker returned at one before main-eventing Summerslam, so....).
I could see Rocky coming in to be the third member, but I also think Bryan makes sense returning as part of the Reigns-Ambrose stable (although I'm not sure where the "family" angle comes in and that's also assuming, of course, that Bryan's healthy enough to come back per WWE's medical staff).

Praying for it to actually be Baron Corbin, Randy Orton is just a let down and predictable if he has no match at NOC. Put him against Sheamus in a special stipulation or some sort so the feud doesn't stale up.
Corbin is billed as The Lone Wolf of NXT. His shtick is that he rides alone and isn't really a team player. I just don't get why would he care to join forces with Ambrose and Reigns?
I don't like Corbin the way he is, I doubt a slight gimmick change would make me like the guy. lol
As far as the size goes, he is the dude who can match Strowman's power game. But, they've made this feud about brotherhood, about family.
Corbin doesn't have any sort of connection with either Ambrose or Reigns.

They can just write it as Reigns and Ambrose went out to NXT to find someone who had the urge to kick some ass with them at NOC.
That's kinda lazy writing.
At this point, I'm hoping for The Rock to jump in. I get that it's a 'B' PPV, but still... I'm a much bigger fan of the idea of Rocky coming to Roman and Dean's aid than either Orton or Corbin.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Thing is with the current PPV's, I feel like they need one with a random Rock return to make it feel like a big deal, and that would certainly qualify... So would Bryan, but I can't imagine them putting a guy of his size...
On that thought: Man, how impressive have they built up Strowman as a monster? Great, great work WWE. This really feels like they've gotta get some help and a real star-making opportunity for whoever gets this spot, but I don't see someone who can really take advantage of it...

I'd be down with seeing The Rock assist Ambrose and Reigns at Night Of Champions. Not that it'll happen (although I'll gladly eat some humble pie in the off chance that I'm wrong), but it would be great to see a big star appear on a B-PPV again (ala Lesnar and Undertaker at Battleground), and since we know we'll never get to see a one-on-one feud between Bray Wyatt and The Great One otherwise, seeing them interact with each other as part of a six-man tag match would be satisfying enough.
If this is indeed the plan, I'd even consider billing him as Ambrose and Reigns' mystery partner and keeping The Rock's participation in the match a secret until the night of the PPV. (When's the last time they booked a PPV match with the allure of a mystery partner? I miss those days.) I know we'd be robbed of an excellent Rock promo towards the family and WWE would probably miss out on a few (hundred? Thousand?) extra network subscriptions as well, but sometimes it's worth it for those "Anything can happen in the WWE" type of moments.

Hey, what if Rowan joins Ambrose and Reigns only to turn on them later on?
It doesn't sound like the greatest idea, but they've just introduced this Braun Strowman guy. So, I don't think The Wyatts should be losing at NOC.
Idk, they could prolly stretch it out till Hell In A Cell.

I gave my thoughts on that in post #30. Unless your intention is to make Ambrose and Reigns look like total idiots by siding with a guy against the very family he himself used to be apart of, then it's a terrible idea.
If you want to save the Family's loss for Hell In A Cell or something, then you could always have shit get out of control and descend into total anarchy, bringing about a double disqualification. Then you could book a multi-man HIAC match if you wanted, in a way where the cell would actually have a logical reason for being injected into the feud.
Oops, I must've missed it. But, yeah, I wouldn't put it past WWE to book it like that, Reigns and Ambrose decide to trust Rowan, until LOL. SWERVE. happens and Rowan turns on 'em.
Saving the big blow off for HIAC would be a better option. But, it wouldn't surprise me if the Wyatts lost clean at NOC.
