This is what happens when you put your eggs in one basket and go with Make Roman Look Strong Dammit booking instead of try to build multiple Main Eventers that can step up at a moments notice. Looking at the RAW roster, there's Rollins and Strowman who could be the flag bearer. Obviously could go the lazy route and put the belt back on Brock, but everyone else is either injured, not ready to be a Main Eventer, or a victim of the bad writing/50-50 booking combination.

At least with Smackdown there are a few people who could be elevated in case AJ Styles got hurt.

the obvious Vince type of guy is EC3. WWE doesn't like to put the title on it's time-fillers like Elias, because in their eyes they don't need the belt to be over. EC3 is a guy who WWE already has a template for. Seth will always be their change of pace champ...the #2 guy. AJ is old. DB isn't that dude like that and he's fragile. Dean is trash in the ring and he's not all that as a character either. Bobby is black. New Day are black. Ricochet might be too small (Devitt getting hurt probably ruined that for a while). Miz is another time-filler. They just made Gargano into Ciampa-2. Braun is Big Show status.

Drew. :hhh: I'm good.


It's time for WWE to maybe really think about pushing "non-traditional" guys and get away from that mold for a few years. You have people like Elias and Velveteen Dream out here being used to get bland people over. Instead they should be putting the belt on the entertaining guys that can carry fukkery filled storylines.

It should be one of the following dudes in NXT

Ricochet
Gargano
Matt Riddle

But they ain't gonna do it :manny:

Honestly, if they kept Kevin Owens as a special prize fighter like he was when he first got called up and capitalized off the momentum of him beating Cena, he'd be more than capable of stepping up in that role.

Hell no
I’m not making them too guys in my promotion let alone wwe. The fukk:what:

KO maybe. Wtf is Matt riddle? Gargano is not a top guy, I like riccochet but if you want to go small just put the rocket on Daniel or AJ. Wwe isn’t a young mans game. The best wrestlers are closer to 40 than 20

If they're going to be booked to the frustration of fans and at the expense of others, I'd strongly caution against it.

That's a bad environment and only breeds contempt from your audience.

I still say you have to get the brand split right. Dean tossed the tag titles, they're not needed on RAW.

The Universal Title is vacant yet again. It isn't needed.

Let AJ bring the WWE title back to RAW. Let Shinsuke bring the US title back to RAW.

Consolidate your heavyweight mens talent on RAW. Continue AJ's reign and treat it with some respect.

Consolidate your tag teams on Smackdown. Consolidate your women on Smackdown.

Move the Cruiserweights up to Smackdown. They're very capable.

I like this idea, it makes those titles look important

It keeps the brand split while making joint ppvs important and it keeps raw as the major show. It’s not like they are ever going to let smackdown headline any show anyway

For the time being, I'd send out Ronda as the company's talk show guest with Seth, Charlotte, and Bryan as the other ambassadors. Miz is also a good ambassador but he's always a heel.
