Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

Reigns will gain nothing from that win and Taker went out looking like dog shit. AJ is the top performer and should of been Main Eventing.
Cena is almost finished and just a part timer. They need a fulltime guy to do all these events and grant wishes and sell merch and shit.

Nak has to be now that Roode has beaten him clean twice in a row.
I was going to say Asuka if she lost to Ember Moon but since she retained, that probably won't happen.
My only other guess would be the Revival but I am not sure what direction they are going with the whole Authors of Pain stuff in the tag division. [Reply]

Almas makes sense since he is a good worker but is basically a glorified jobber on NXT. Dillinger the same after getting beat down twice by Sanity (although still hasn't had a straight up one on one without interference with Eric Young). [Reply]

Do we know if Atlantis took Sombra's mask because Sombra was signing with WWE, or was that creative decision made independent of him signing? I feel like there was a period of time after that mascara con mascara match where Sombra wasn't publicly known anyway to be going to WWE.
But I agree with your larger point. Almas isn't made to be a milquetoast babyface. He's too ingobernable. [Reply]
Meh, none of it matters since Almas is most likely getting thrown into the Cruiserweight division. Unless they start treating them as a whole better he's going to be spinning wheels for a while. [Reply]
