I'm not a big fan of her in the ring. She was my favorite Bella at first, but Nikki far surpassed her. Her matches recently have been a lot more on-point than they often are though.

What role with Cena and Rollins play at Wrestlemania if any? I can't see Cena left off and I really don't think Rollins should.

To be honest, I'd rather Rollins sit-out until he's ready to make a comeback. I want that first time he's back to be a huge face moment where he goes right after Triple H.
I'd show John Cena in the crowd before the title match. Have it basically insinuated that he's training to return to the top. Also show Randy Orton in the crowd. Then cut to Cesaro in a suit with one or two hot ladies holding a "Cesaro Section" sign looking all cocky. Subconsciously you're linking Cesaro with this main event tier. You're giving him good shine at Mania so people actually care when he comes back. You're also giving something to Cena and Orton by making it feel like the company cares a lot about when they are coming back. Well, that's what I'd do. I'm a Meltzer sheep though... |

Since The League of Nations are pretty flat right now, I wonder if they pull the plug on The New Day program with them, and speed The Wyatts up for a Tag Title program with them in time for Mania? After that performance against Brock Lesnar, they probably have more of a stiffy for Harper now than ever before. He and Erick Rowan were a damn good team together too.
Bray himself can just talk for them and get involved in Ambrose/Lesnar to set up a Payback clash between himself and Lesnar. But yeah, I'd be more excited for that than The New Day vs. League match that has been teased. |

I'm not a fan of showing people who are off TV on camera. IMO it hurts the reaction when they do come back.
The cool thing is Reigns should have a nice stream of new guys to program with throughout 2016. |

That sounds like a good idea, therefore it won't happen.

I didn't watch drunk this week, but the segment sounds good. I was hoping Mick would hype up a guy's importance for WrestleMania. He did that with Dean Ambrose. It's just a shame we can't get Brock Lesnar vs. Cactus Jack coming out of it.

Something is really off about Kalisto vs. Ryback. The visual clash is...interesting. Kalisto is actually pretty over. Ryback has this weird disconnect with his overness. People like to chant along with his shit, but that's because of the chanting. No one really believes in him. His promo style is all "I love you bro" and creepy weird. Like he goes over the top explaining how super tops Kalisto is but then craps all over his size. It's this weird Machiavellian level of being a dick, when he could probably just be all "I'm gonna beat you up" and everyone would believe it more.
It's like David vs. Goliath with both of them as faces. Plus they seem to be selling Kalisto as being afraid of Ryback. That's not really an endearing quality in a champ. It also makes Alberto Del Rio look like a piece of shit because Kalisto is like a super baller when they fight, but is like "Bro, not Ryback." It makes all the Hispanic guys look weaker than Ryback, which probably gives Vince a boner, but is sorta racist. Are they going to have Ryback kill Kalisto with his faux-MMA shit, or is Ryback going to slip on another banana peel? These aren't really questions I'm interested in (I'm more intrigued by the dispositions of the guys, but not in a good way), but more general concerns for who wins and loses. Does Kalisto just get killed and go back to being a Lucha Dragon with the other guy Ryback killed? It's like the company has this "creative writer" interest in Ryback's new persona and Kalisto being a small guy and don't really know how to book either guy to look that strong or like professional wrestlers with conviction. I know I sound super-smarky, but this is the WrestleMania piss-break because of it, and then how will anyone care about Ryback killing Kalisto or Kalisto finding a way to prove he deserves to be champion? This match should really be a painting of these two standing next to each other and Vince McMahon saying "Wouldn't this be cool?" |

Maybe this match would feel more...there if Kalisto accepted Ryback's challenge for before Mania? Ryback mounts him and DiCaprio-bears him, then Sin Cara throws in the towel. Ryback is the new US Champion and Sin Cara is all concerned about Kalisto's health because they're homies and shit. Kalisto is all distraught because his mate threw the match and cost him the title. Ryback is then all "Bro, I don't have anything to prove to you" about a rematch and Kalisto is like "No, I KNOW I can beat you." Maybe to prove it Kalisto puts his mask on the line or something. It'll increase the stakes to being more than just a match between bros who sometimes win their matches.
Maybe Ryback flips it on Kalisto and says he'll do the match but not for Kalisto's match...but for Sin Cara's. Kalisto takes it and Sin Cara is all "...Fuck." It continues the blurred lines telling of the story, but at least it increases the stakes. Kalisto can then lose and Sin Cara rips of his mask and goes back to being an unmasked heel, only this time less racist stereotype. |

It would just be an odd pivot so quickly.
Rather than your idea of hotshotting a 2 week build with a team they haven't even mentioned, you let this program with LON play out, which could be several months with the different team combinations. Then down the line after the Wyatts have beat a team or two, then they lay out New Day and they have a serious program. |

Seems like a slow burn heel turn for Ryback. You should have a physically imposing babyface champion after Mania in Reigns, so you need to establish some big guys to feed him. Ryback fits that perfectly. |

After the pre-show demotion last year it wasn't looking good. So much potential for them to build a prestigious battle royal that they wouldn't even have to worry about booking a story behind every year. Down the drain.
