Should EC3 and Lashley Come To WWE UPDATE: EC3 Debuts at NXT:Phi,Lashley is stil Expected To Return

[richaveli83]

y'all posting all these exciting scenarios knowing damn well what's actually gonna happen

 

[Dreamzeedream]

Main Event scene on SD is very thin, only big time opponent for Styles at this point would be Nakamura, I mean Owens and Klandy are okay if you talking B level PPV.

That's what I'm saying. Lashley could help at this point. Especially a threat to AJ championship. I would probably move Braun to smackdown but with joe and Dean being gone. That' or going to Happen. I still think it's time for another Jeff hardy main event run

 

[Dreamzeedream]

Real talk, they could try to use him as Bateman and let eciii swerve them by having an identity change. When he establishes ownership of the WWE. By beating hhh and swerving vkm.

If you had that and the bdc angle going on simultaneously. The two stories could coincide and result in a lash versus eciii and styles and hhh for the ownership.
Or even Daniel Bryan if they did it right for the ownership of SD after Shane is eliminated by the bdc.
The WWE needs to show vulnerability and have a withdrawal of the mcmahons to the characters development.
If the product stopped being about the mcmahons in a sound way all the way around. If the mcmahons came back it would have more emphasis as well.

HHH won't put him over....... not this soon.

SmackDown needs Rollins or Balor or like you said maybe Jeff Hardy come draft time. RAW will be fine as long Strowman, Reigns, and Joe (when he gets back) are in the Main Event. So for SmackDown, a Main Event scene of AJ Styles, Bobby Lashley, and Seth Rollins would really beef up SmackDown.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

EC3 would end up like Mike Kanellis

Didn't he check into rehab and then Maria got pregnant? Seems like they basically are putting his WWE career on hold until Maria comes back. At least EC3 won't have his career determined by another talent that WWE actually wants, such as his wife.

I gotta idea for lashley. It’s long term and may get me some Responses but whatever. I’ll put my idea in the spoiler

Spoiler: My idea

He needs to return as Heymans new client for SD, so you have a monster on represented by Paul on each brand.

Later in the year, Brock gets drafted or traded to SD and wins the WWE belt. Even though Brocks the champ, he start to complain to Paul about him showing favoritism to his new client, which Heyman reassures that he’s being equal to both stars.

Heyman then attempts to make them a tag team, and gets them a shot at the tag belts, which they win and they quickly become dysfunctional. They almost lose the belt in their first couple of defenses, and in their third defense Lesnar F5’s Lashley and they lose the tag belts.

Lashley is now pissed, while Heyman is attempting to make one another cool again. Lesnar tells Paul to choose a side, which he declines to choose. Brock takes out Lashley again, which prompts the SD GM to make Lesnar face Lashley for the WWE championship as well as Paul Heyman as their manager.

Let’s say that this is Mania, and after a brawling strong style match with both wrestlers showing their mma prowess, Lashley wins with the help of Paul Heyman, who after a red bump, “accidentally” hits Lesnar with a chair multiple times and wakes the ref up after Lashley hits the spear and Dominator for the pin.

You’ll have the first black WWE champ, a huge heel in lashley, and a potential face turn for lesnar.

Timeline - April: Lasey and Lesnar debut on SD at the superstar shakeup

August: Lesnar beats Nakamura at Summerslam for the WWE belt

October: Lesnar and Lashley win tag belts

January: Lesnar turns on Lashley at Royal Rumble, thus losing the belts to Authors of Pain

February: Lashley gets taken out by lesnar right before his elimination chamber match for the belt. Lesnar retains. 2 smackdowns later, Lashley wins a #1 contenders gauntlet to face Lesnar at Mania. SD GM adds in the Paul Heyman stipulation

March: Lashley beats Lesnar

TL;DR - Lashley becomes the first black WWE champ at next years Mania by beating Lesnar for the belt with the help of Heyman, who turns his back on lesnar, which turns him and Lashley into a heel/bigger heel and creates a potential face turn for Lesnar. The details of how this would happen are in the spoiler

Same thing happens every time a big non-WWE star signs then everyone complains once the scenario doesn't happen.

 

[jackswstd]

Wonder what they cut next to handle all this incoming talent. They already nixed pyro, next it'll be catering or commentary.

they need to cut a lot of talent. theres plenty of people down in nxt who have been there for years and still arent even jobbing on tv yet that they could release. plus guys like Ziggler and Neville who they are just holding onto and ruining could be set free.

They gotta stop just letting the contract run out.

Love it, I wish more of this board voiced their creative ideas. Lashley and Lesnar as a tag team would be amazing. However I'd hope for a long reign for them (maybe 5 successful defenses before splitting on the 6th?) just because I'm big on unifying the titles and pushing tag team wrestling to the main event. If anyone could make that happen it's a tandem like Lesnar and Lashley.

Imagine what it would do for a team like AOP to be the team that beats them.

Put Lashley on SD tbh. That's the only place I feel like he would fit. RAW too bloated tbh.

HHH won't put him over....... not this soon.

that is the problem with the wwe.
the only guy who goes over is the mutant big guy when they first debut.
yet the problem with the wwe is they are never vulnerable and don't know how and never knew how to create conflict from the villain or sustain a real villain.
it comes from them not knowing how to be vulnerable.
to the point,...that if not for hogan.
the footprint to the mcmahon titan industries footprint nationally was so little.
they had to rely on stampede's territory to operate and after hogan tried to and did prey on stampede.
that flash forward to now, this company operates falsely under the idea they know what to do.
when, in reality they are only the benefit of rocky, an oscar winning franchise, and the wrongly b*stardized blueprint of flair rubrick to success.
which was grossly taken out of order from the clique.
instead of being used correctly by flair's protege, stone cold steve austin in direction and content to its maximum ability wholeheartedly.

in all actuality the reason why the bdc is the best swerve all time is because tna showed incredible vulnerability and did it early on.




this is how you create a villain.







the wwe needs to and should have done more of this past just brock debuting.
instead we will never get this because this company will not be vulnerable for real.
as soon as they get someone who makes them vulnerable, he gets this.



that even in this,...a guy like eciii should be given a layer of protection as a villain.
shyt lashley should actually run roughshod over the smackdown roster, with a build to aj and it creates a collection of matches and the intrigue of the even better holy shyt return matches.
instead, once wwe fears how over this product is and this product could have legs outside of their promotion.
they will kill it and then go right back to the bullshyt they were always on.
then, try to cover up the draw from the better build was ever effective or even actually happened in continuity.

it is the only natural placement for the type of character he is.
plus he needs to be opposite brock and provide the active workrate better alternative on smackdown.
so when he does go over, people get back into the idea the champion is supposed to be on the live telecast and active.
not on some bullshyt hulk hogan superstar's schedule holding the promotion hostage.

EC3 should be next NXT champ if they put him down there.

Make NXT the champ’s show with multiple segments a show like when edge was sd champ

you can not demote the cat back to NXT.
it shows no growth and makes the people who made it so his draw was reamplified to make this move like we don't matter and neither does the acquisition of eciii.

if this happens,
eciii could kill it or flounder.
yet it would not be indicative of who or where the draw for this kid is.
if he is stuck in nxt it would look like punishment for leaving.
which would basically be wwe pulling the nwa this is what they think about you interlude to ice cube on nikkaz4life.
which is type bogus but right up wwe's alley tho.

[Art Barr]

He'll be safer doing the NXT sitting in crowd debut imo

If Lashley comes back..one on hand he shouldn't have to go to NXT but if he does..HE BETTER get that title run..haven't had a black champ since Big E

lash should never be on nXT.
it is basically administrative punishment and your actual suggestion illustrates.
you have no wherewithal or knowledgement of lash's history with the wwe.
are you black?
