I love how they call Jinder Mahal the "funny one" despite him never actually doing anything funny.

With the Kaitlyn admirer angle, I like the idea I saw here that someone had (clearly) of it being a prank pulled by AJ Lee to mess with Kaitlyn. That would set up a Payback match pretty nicely between the two. Anyway, since Vince McMahon is probably going to be on RAW and there need to be some matches set for the show, I would have the card pretty much set up in a backstage segment with Vince, Vickie and Brad Maddox where Vince says that he's looking for a permanent General Manager of RAW and he wants to here some ideas from Maddox and Vickie. The two basically just rattle off some match ideas and one of them is Kaitlyn getting her hands on AJ Lee, but Brad throws on the added stipulation of it affecting the World Title match later in the show -- if AJ Lee wins, then Dolph Ziggler gets to choose the match stipulation between him and Del Rio; but if Kaitlyn wins, Del Rio gets to choose the match. Vince likes that idea.
At Payback, AJ Lee forces Kaitlyn to submit and becomes the new Divas Champion. It could be the opening match of the PPV, or it could even be on the pre-show if the rest of the card is stacked. Dolph Ziggler then gets to choose how he faces Del Rio later in the show. Being a slimy heel, Dolph chooses Handicap Match -- he and Big E. Langston will both face Del Rio. This does a few things: * It keeps Ziggler vs. Del Rio as a one-on-one match fresh. Since Ziggler has been out there hasn't really been much interaction between the two, so the PPV is hardly being sold on their account. Zigs vs. Del Rio could happen again at a later date. * Del Rio is now unfairly positioned which will hopefully get the fans behind him. It also gives him a credible way to lose and keep face. * Let's say Big E. Langston gets the pinfall. Or let's say he finishes off Del Rio and then Ziggler tags himself in and takes the pin for himself. That furthers the developing tensions between Camp Ziggler. * Or, and I know people will hate this suggestion, let's say Del Rio uses his cunning and experience to defeat Langston in the match. Ziggler wasn't in the fall that lost the title, so he's got a legit reason to be pissed at Langston. It also puts the World Title back on Del Rio, and as a babyface one of Del Rio's greatest attributes is his credibility and that depends on him actually winning matches. Let's go with Del Rio managing to pin Langston. Ziggler slaps Langston in the face and Langston shoves Ziggler down after the match, but AJ Lee stands between Langston and Ziggler and saves Dolph from a further beat-down. On RAW, Dolph calls out Langston and wants to know what happened. Dolph tries to guilt Langston into feeling bad -- after all, Dolph's the reason he has a job here and the reason he got the opportunity to debut at WrestleMania. AJ's a champion, Dolph was a champion until Langston screwed it up and he wants an apology. Del Rio crashes the party and he sort of comes to Langston's defense. He says he respects Langston as a performer and there's absolutely no shame in losing to the best in the world. Wink. Del Rio says that he's been WWE Champion before, but his dream was always to be the World Heavyweight Champion, because he's competed all over the world and not just in WWE, so he fights harder for this title than anyone. He reminds Langston that he has a lot of money, and he'd spend a lot of money to see Langston kick Dolph's ass. You can do the face turn for Langston right there and then, or you can have Langston continue to play confused. Whatever. But basically CM Punk takes offense to hearing Del Rio refer to himself as "The Best in the World." Punk challenges Del Rio to a match that night, but the World Title isn't on the line since Ziggler hasn't gotten his rematch and Maddox/Vickie don't have authority over the title. Del Rio and Punk do their fine work, but then Dolph comes out and costs Del Rio the match. Punk gets a big win over the World Champion, but he doesn't like that Ziggler helped him. He and Dolph start brawling, because Punk feels that Ziggler hurt his point, and Punk nails the GTS on Dolph, but then Del Rio takes out Punk with a roundhouse kick and gets to stand tall as World Heavyweight Champion. This leads to a Triple Threat World Heavyweight Championship match at Money in the Bank in Philadelphia, where Punk will be super-over, Ziggler will probably be super-over and Del Rio might even be super-over. They'll tear the house down and there can be the question of what role, if any, Big E. Langston will play in the match. Put that with John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE Title, one or two Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, Curtis Axel vs. Triple H in a No Holds Barred Match, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns defending the WWE Tag Team Championship against my dream team of Sheamus & Antonio Cesaro and you've got yourself a pretty memorable card popping up. |

I say one or two Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, because I wonder if two might be killing the gimmick a little bit? It's worked for the past couple of years, but it's really only one briefcase winner who stands out. It also adds intrigue as to which title they will go for, and not just when. Plus, the difference between the WWE Title and World Heavyweight Title is no longer associated by brand. You could have former champions in one like last year, but then you're not really "making a star" with it.
How about an eight man Ladder Match featuring the likes of Chris Jericho, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Kane, The Miz and Randy Orton. You've got a mix of established veterans and former World Champions, former winners of MITB itself, the guy who invented the concept and some rising stars. Where's Ryback? You have his spot cost to him when he loses to Randy Orton after Kofi Kingston returns and costs Ryback the match. I mean, look at this potential Money in the Bank card: WWE Championship John Cena (c) vs. Daniel Bryan * Daniel Bryan forces John Cena to submit to The "YES!" Lock and captures his first WWE Championship in a moment that people will remember for a long time. Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. CM Punk * Big E. Langston turns on Dolph Ziggler, setting up Ziggler vs. Langston at SummerSlam. Punk is the one who capitalises on this and becomes a four-time World Heavyweight Champion in Philly. No Holds Barred Match Curtis Axel vs. Triple H * It looks like Triple H is about to win the match, but Paul Heyman gets into the ring and subjects himself to a Pedigree, allowing a recovering Axel to grab a sledgehammer Triple H introduced and nail him across the jaw with it and get the pin. Money in the Bank Ladder Match Chris Jericho vs. Christian vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Kane vs. The Miz vs. Randy Orton * Dean Ambrose wins the match because he is a rising star that the WWE can probably get behind. Jericho is the second-to-last man on the ladder and this sets up Ambrose vs. Jericho at SummerSlam for the US Title -- the only championship Jericho hasn't won in the WWE. Tables Match Ryback vs. Kofi Kingston * Kofi Kingston puts Ryback on a table and goes for a Boom Drop off a ladder onto Ryback, but Ryback moves and Kofi goes through. Ryback then gets another table and powerbombs Kofi right through it to officially win the match and get his first PPV win in like a year. WWE Tag Team Championship Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns (c) vs. Sheamus & Antonio Cesaro * I'd actually move the titles on Sheamus & Antonio Cesaro here, just because there aren't too many face teams that can take on The Shield, and them losing would be a big deal. This would allow a rematch at SummerSlam between the two teams. Intercontinental Championship Fandango (c) vs. Wade Barrett * Barrett gets his rematch against Fandango from Payback, where Fandango manages to steal the championship by pinning The Miz with a Flying Leg Drop. An overzealous Barrett doesn't only want to beat Fandango, but hurt him as well. He goes for the Bullhammer on Fandango after a pretty one-sided affair in Barrett's favour, and has Fandango's head lined up against the ring post. Fandango is pulled out of the way by Summer Rae and Barrett's arm is then injured. Fandango manages to bust out a new arm-based submission move and Barrett is forced to tap. Divas Championship AJ Lee (c) vs. Kaitlyn * AJ Lee forces Kaitlyn to submit to the Black Widow. Then I would hopefully hear cackling over the PA as Kharma made her return, but I always say that. Six-Man Tag Team Match The Wyatt Family vs. R-Truth & The Usos * R-Truth, simply because he's over and doesn't always job, seems like he'd be a good first target for The Wyatt Family. It's also good to get a veteran on PPV. Bray scores the pin despite shenanigans, perhaps from Bayley at ringside. Pre-Show Match Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins vs. Epico & Primo * A simple battle between two former Tag Team Champions who are looking to get back into contention. This would be a great way to warm the crowd up. Ryder & Hawkins, the face team, pick up the win and move forward, but are attacked by The Prime Time Players after the match.

Oh, and maybe they can bring Rob Van Dam back for Money in the Bank this year. I'm not sure what his plans are, but prior to signing with TNA, he was open to one-night deals with the WWE. You can do a thing where all former Money in the Bank Winners are given priority entry into the match, and RVD comes back as a former winner of the match to see if he can still be "The Whole Damn Show." That'd move the match up to nine people, which still wouldn't be the most crowded one ever. But RVD? In a Ladder Match? In Philly? Come on.

I'm sure he left TNA because they decided to do more Impact on the road and he didn't want to travel. Doesn't want to be assed to fly with pot on him all the time.
Pretty terrible idea. I don't like the idea of stars thinking they can flip-flop between the companies like that. Really cheapens their legacy. Except for Ric Flair because he's Ric Flair and he can do whatever he wants whoooooo! |

Looks more like a setup for a Team Wrestlemania vs Team Barrett Barrage PILLOWFIGHT TAG TEAM MATCH, PLAYA! with Barrett as special enforcer/ref/timekeeper.
Or a Thai girl on a pole match. 'cept the object is to get on the pole. And they all end up winning eventually. |

WWE needs to find a talent who looks like Road Dogg (or, just pluck almost anyone out the Armstrong family), and have he and Dolph form the NEW New Age Outlaws! Instant money!!!

I haven't listened to the clip you posted Dave, but I don't recall Taka being in The Brood, or being a New Age Outlaw.
