Drew vs Roman at the PLE in the UK could have been sick but seems it could be up next. I guess you could also just have Roman beat Drew via the usual shenanigans. Drew wins the MITB and announces ahead of time he's cashing in for the UK PLE, that would be pretty hype.

Only issue with that is there's a lot of time to fill between then and I don't know who the fuck you would give Drew.

Yeah the UK show makes the most sense for Roman vs Drew but WWE doesn’t know how to make babyfaces and the already solid ones, Roman has already beaten. So I don’t think they could drag that out.

Naomi beating Baszler is a wild choice but Baszler was a Triple H product and most of those don’t work out on the main roster.

And it’s cool to see Aaliyah back on TV I guess. I randomly thought about it the other day that I hadn’t see her on TV in some time. She still sucks though

Why does Shayna put up with this crap?
