Shaq-Show falling apart might solve it, but it's interesting that Balor, Joe and Braun have seemingly nothing to do at Mania. It doesn't look like they're interested in cross-brand matches either, or else Orton would have challenged Owens while he was holding off on the Wyatt long con or someone on Raw would have

There were rumors a while back, before she got really into her botching spree, that they saw Dana as a potential #1 female face of the company in time. It does completely muddy the waters of doing that right now with two Raws to go, because how does it feed into what's likely to be either a triple threat or fatal

She has to be involved, otherwise there's no point to her ragdolling the champion around (and yes, I know we're not getting Braun involved in Reigns-Taker at the same time) The danger is if they get too involved in a 'Bayley vs the world' angle into Mania, because the shine is really coming off Bayley in terms of her

WM31 had a terrible build - the Reigns/Lesnar tug of war with the belt at the end of the go-home, anyone? - and was a great show.

She'll be on TV a lot when she joins TNA in the summer.

And Bayley hits that move in practically every match.

Styles is the most popular full-time guy they have now, he walked wwe.com's end of the year poll. There's no way he'd end up a mid-carder.

Everyone feared the main roster writing would misunderstand Bayley, but you have to be impressed with how badly they've handled it. Unless the story is Bayley is still so insecure about her position that she's come under Sasha's covert-for-now malign influence, and I'm not sure I trust them to run with that story

Here was I thinking it was because significant lesions were found on Bryan's brain.

There's a fairly obvious reason, and that is nobody on the current roster (Cena aside) is mainstream famous. Look back to Mania last year and aside from places like GQ and NPR picking up on the women the only things that got traction outside the wrestling press were Rock, Shane's jump, HHH's entrance and the

Jerry's just learning from Renee Young, that was always her go-to line on NXT commentary.

Brock will take the red belt to his secluded Canadian log cabin and Owens takes Jericho's US title, proclaiming it as the only belt that matters while the other one is away. There's stakes.

New Day are in such a weird creative impasse at the moment - they shift a ton of merch, they've got a book out a couple of weeks after Mania, but off the back of their record run they're not being seen as title contenders against a bunch of teams they'd beaten for whatever reason. Maybe the idea is they're being saved

I'm surprised if people thought Goldberg could squash Lesnar cleanly but not the guy who Lesnar once put down with one German suplex.

Owens required Jericho interference in nearly all his title matches and Charlotte's PPV streak means nothing when the Raw audience has seen her lose or get pinned in tag matches so often (including two weeks ago) They're hardly the Undertaker.

I'd love to know what people who know of the Stunner but not the minutiae of the current product make of its next gen evolvement, Ember Moon's Eclipse. http://funnypictures2.fjcdn…

Niche upon niche, this, but I want to see Kota Ibushi take a full Stunner now, doing a full flip in the air just so he can land on the back of his neck.

You just discounted the leg drop because of Nia Jax.

Eddie Guerrero and Rob Van Dam.
