Roman got wasted on last Smackdown, 1 vs 3 (it can be 4 with Tanga Loa or 5 if Hikuleo comes and joins Solo)
Rhea and Damian Priest got wasted on last Raw, 2 vs 5.

To which storyline will Jey go? Both Roman and Rhea got outnumbered.

Cmiiw Jey posted a picture of Rhea wearing Yeet bracelet, hinting he could go to help Rhea.
But in interview he also said we will see "Ucey" soon.!

Maybe first help Rhea and then go and help Roman, after that storyline marinates a bit. Roman imo needs to get Heyman back first even though he's not a fighter

That Cody and Roman vignette/promo was gold

 

[NikaInParis]

Apparently Smackdown will go to 3 hours come January
@Kerkovian thoughts?
I'm barely watching the shows as it is and rely completely on highlights. This would be the nail in the coffin for my long term interest in the product.
Why do they insist on just shitting out hours of content instead of going for quality over quantity? They'll be reaching current Dynamite viewership by the end of next year if this is true

Roman Reigns and Cody are the weirdest tag team in history
I wish CM Punk and Randy Orton had a bigger role

WrestleMania :
Punk vs cody
Seth vs Gunther
Randy vs cena
Rock vs roman

It'll be interesting to see who Cena faces at Mania

Its a stupid decision bro. I won't be watching it live anymore because I cannot waste 3 hours at this point of my life. There are a lot of responsibilities. WWE needs to know its demographics more. Its highlights for me from now on. PLEs are good because they produce it well but smackdown? No.

punk vs drew
5/5 for me

 

[Kerkovian]

The ppv sucked other than the HELL in a Cell. That was a Hell of a match and the main event was decent with the Rock and Jimmy returning. KO attacking offline is plain stupid.

 

[Topi Jerami]

I am really satisfied with Jimmy Uso's return. Not that it's unexpected, it's very expected, actually almost feels too late. Everyone already expecting him to return sooner before Roman made his return.

But that scene. Both Roman and Jimmy look really emotional seeing each other again, especially Roman. That scene is very good.
Jimmy's return > The Rock's or Seth Rollins' return.

Now what's left is making Jey Uso and hopefully Honorary Uce Sami Zayn involved with their family drama. Cody Rhodes can leave Bloodline storyline and focus with Kevin Owens and Randy Orton instead. Although with the way things are, there are no hints yet that Sami Zayn is gonna involved with Bloodline storyline.

@mmd @Topi Jerami @Kerkovian excited for War Games tonight?
The Roman/Punk promo sold me on the match and its aftermath more than anything before.

 

[NikaInParis]

@Buusatan94 I somehow always forget to tag you, my man

Lately I really hope Solo's team wins.. He deserves it.. Buusatan was right, Solo has improved so much on his mic skill.
He is very likeable imo

For comparison, Solo as Tribal Chief really runs things differently than Roman.

Roman always had too much ego. I know he is supposed to be heel, but sometimes he was really annoying. Several mentions:
- At 2022, Jey was very hyped, talking in mic. "We The O--" and suddenly Roman wanted the mic. Jey couldn't even finish his speech.
- Then the whole how he treated Jey and Sami lately. Kept shittalking them, yelling at them, shoving their face.
- Roman always got help / interference in almost all of his matches. But the interference didn't go both ways lately. Sure at beginning Roman sometimes interfered and helped the Usos' match too. But lately, he didn't appear to help anymore. The interference was only working for Roman's ways, he didn't help his brothers anymore. For example, he didn't show up in Jimmy vs Jey at WM 40.

Now look at how Solo running things:
- He appreciated those who acknowledged him. So far he never yelled or shoved face of other New Bloodline members.
- He didn't just get help. He also still helped his men winning their match. The interference goes both ways, not only to Solo's favour.
- If he can't interfere (Nick Aldis' words), then at the end of the match, he always came to the ring, congratulated his men and hugged them like a proud daddy. Just like what he did to Jacob Fatu tonight. Or when Tonga duos won their Tag Team Champions.

He is kinda supposed as comic relief Tribal Chief, nobody really takes him seriously (especially after that filler 0-34 record), he acts like a naughty lil bro who thinks he is running the house because his older brothers are away.
But the way he is running Tribal Chief, he is very likeable. Improved mic skill. He can most likely be a good face too.

Hopefully he gets a W tomorrow.

yeah the writing on the wall is Solo's gang wins
at the end of the day I hope the storytelling is good and makes sense. And that we get some Roman character moments

Paul Heyman probably gonna betray him

The way Heyman replied "we gonna talk about it after Survivor Series" not only it is suspicious, but I got disrespect vibe. Roman asking him and he didn't bother answering the question asap. Old Paul Heyman wouldn't do that I think.

Nah, I don't think Heyman outright betrays Roman. But there is something he will have to do for Punk that will not sit well with Roman at all

If it is not outright betraying Roman, probably the favor is helping Punk getting Cody's championship.
Roman won't like that because he also wants his title back.

But maybe he will betray Roman sooner, if the favor is "come with me again Paul, be my wiseman". Didn't Paul also ask Punk to take him away when he was held custody by Solo and his gang?

Good idea with the title thing, maybe Punk wants dibs on it before Roman (possible Royal Rumble main event then, Cody vs Punk?)

They can take Paul's role so many different ways. We can make so many arguments on his possible alignement, which goes to show how far WWE has come with their storytelling (at least for the main title).

Well Punk's words kinda teased it lol. "Our wiseman, our wiseman", "I did it for Paul", "Paul owed me a favour".
Reminds me on what happened during Roman vs Farmer Lesnar feud, where Lesnar trying to make Roman doubting Paul.
Except, now Paul's face doesn't really deny Punk's words, while Paul's face showed he denied Lesnar's words.

I saw a video telling, last week something was also off with Heyman's attitude:
Heyman left ring first before Roman. He never did it before, he always left ring while following Roman behind.

Solo lost

Still a goat promotion, Scott Steiner might be insane but no one can deny his gift with the mic:
