How do we know it's a rat?

What if it's the decaying head of Luke Harper?
It could be anything, but the carrying around something in a cage is very clearly reminiscent of Black Reign.

I'd also find it odd if it's not an animal of some sort considering how he treats it.

Though, he could have something in there and be crazy enough to think its his friend.

Sure, the mystery aspect has been done by many, but the specifically carrying a cage to the ring and talking to it only makes me think Black Reign.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about flips akin to what the cruiserweights do. Not a simple front flip off the top rope
I like a moonsault or a 450 splash as much as the next guy, but Flair tumbling off the top isn't exactly the flips we're talking about.

I personally like all types of wrestling. Flippy shit is good, brawling is great, a good technical match as well. Lots of all kinds also. I’m easy to please sometimes with the way a match needs to go.

Fuck this flippy debate......does anyone else think that's it's a vintage bottle of wine in Rowan's cage? Remember, he's a vintner.

Dats what I said.
It's called agreeing with you.

There's a time and a place for everything. I don't mind flips in cruiserweight matches. That's the excitement of the division.

My only problem is indies where the entire roster wrestles like this. I've always cared more about telling a story than spots.

I mean that would be a much cooler reveal. He does seem awfully protective of it.

He's just waiting for the perfect moment to savor it. He waited until he ditched Daniel Bryan because he gets none.

He becomes the next US champion in a few months and he busts out the vintage wine.

Oh yeah. I mean I agree with that.

It’s like with AEW, I want them to sign a few more big guys. I need some power houses who aren’t doing that.

As far as Rowan goes, I’ve started to actually like him some this year. Tho I agree Harper is better, I don’t agree tho with what’s been said about Rowan not being good. He’s good, not great but good.

Rowan get some horrifying gimmick right now and it is sure that from Royal Rumble 2020 he start his new feud and at Wrestlemania 36 he get big match.

I agree that Rowan is fine but it's bizarre that he is getting a big push now when WWE had Luke Harper doing nothing for ages when he is literally just a better version of Rowan.

I really think he should be part of a stable or as a body-guard for a top talent rather than a headline act. I just don't think he has the charisma to work top-card matches at PPVs well enough.

For example, I could see Rowan being a great bodyguard for Buddy Murphy if Murphy was to get a big push around main event level.
