Maybe the televised matches aren't as good as the Network special bouts, but it's still the two same guys going at it on free tv. Kills any hype. Lesnar only wrestling on ppv made him a legit prize fighter attraction. Of course Rollins being featured weekly and defending the belt monthly will water that down, but he shouldn't be getting pinned or submitted cleanly on tv. The other issue is direction. CyNick joked about Rusev being a contender for Brock and he's right in doing so, citing the currently lame direction they have him going. He went from having a great debut run, through a solid program with Cena, to feuding with a now kinda creepy Dolph Ziggler. Lana goes from being a strong, intelligent woman to arm candy scorned by a seemingly unfaithful man. It was needless and only diminished the characters they spent nearly a year building. And of course Bray Wyatt should be a, if not the top heel in the company, but he's never been pushed to that level despite consistently delivering on the micand in the ring. He's been over guys like Ambrose, Reigns and Bryan, but they haven't given him that one signature win and I don't understand why.

If a heel never loses, he becomes a babyface real quick. Its human nature to root for the team that wins all the time. When they want to turn Rollins, he will start to accumulate wins.

As for Cena, he should be protected, he's far and away the biggest star in the company. However, for a star of his magnitude, he puts over TONS of people.

Im not a huge fan of PPV rematches on TV the night after the Special. However, in some cases they are okay, and serve to move along storylines. There's never going to be a rule that covers all scenarios. TV is important, you need to keep people watching. If no big matches ever happened on RAW, people would likely tune out.

I think they missed the target with the Rusev-Lana thing. I think they thought moving Lana away from Rusev would turn her into a Sable type character after she left Mero. IMO the mistake was making it a love foursome, instead of just having Lana leave Rusev and do her own thing. Now I think they just need to bring them back together.

Wyatt to me is a strange one. I love his gimmick, I love the way he's portrayed, but I just dont think the average fan digs him. I think people like his intro, and all the bells and whistles around the gimmick. I hear a lot of BORING and WHAT chants when Bray is doing longer promos. Thats not conducive to being a #1 type heel.
