Black been in NXT a while. Nothing left for him there, he's main roster ready.
I knew Braun was money, and Lars is money too. Old school larger than life freakshow look... legit powerhouse moveset/strength... can talk.. has presence.. is green but can put on good matches when paired with the right worker. (Ohno, Dain, Handicap last week)
Plus he's actually homegrown talent. A little tired of the strap being a prop for the latest Indie darling signing (Almas earned that shyt with his turnaround tho)
A six to nine month unstoppable Lars reign would be good for extra seasoning before he get to the main roster.
I hope gargano and ciampa at takeover is jeans and t shirts. Its a street fight, no need for traditional attire
Shayna is everything you should want in a heel champion that isnt a chickenshyt
We'll have to disagree there. He's always seemed like a guy acting out his favorites rather than an actual wrestler. And I've never heard of anyone drawing a dollar with him.

The main roster's not ready for him, though. I'm not quite prepared for him to have an interminable struggle in the midcard until that buck-toothed beaver motherfukker decides to cut his entrance or he gets neutered on the show and has to do his best character work on twitter or something. It could not hurt to have him on top for a little while longer, having more feuds that mean something.
I'm still amazed out how the main roster is built so much around the belts. And it makes the writers incredibly lazy. How are gargano/ciampa & dream/ricochet this good with no titles involved? shyt even Lacey/Kairi is somewhat interesting. But the main roster is nothing but non-personal title based story lines.

Honestly they’re barely even based around belts. The IC belt is the only one I’ve seen that looks even halfway important. Every other feud is just some guy facing another some guy who happens to hold a title

Vince gonna Vince, breh. Lucha Underground and NXT are perfect examples on how to build non-title feuds, just give two guys a reason to be pissed off about each other and build on it week after week.
We really hit the bottom of the barrel when the story for the Raw Women's Title at MitB started with Nia - the fukking champion, btw - walking up to Ronda and being like "Yo you want this belt or nah?

this is exactly what it was, and they basically killed off Nia's face turn story arc for it. How much time was invested in Nia having a gradual face turn due to Alexa's bullying of calling her every single word meaning fat other than fat itself? Only for her to win the title and cut an embarrassing pandering 'believe in yourself' promo? And weeks later she's coming off as a heel

Smooth sailing from here on out...
Hope he shows up to Takeover with Prince Puma tights
