There's no actual need for two World champions. The main reason they ever did it was for periods of time where they actually kept Raw and SmackDown completely separate including their own house shows and PPVs. But those days have been over for a while. Even when they still had split brand house shows, Lesnar was never defending the title on the Raw shows. So one World title is fine, but WWE can't help but default to excess so expect them to be split again soon enough.

Especially in time for SURVIVOR SERIES: THE ONE TIME OF THE YEAR WHERE EACH SHOW VIYES FOR SUPREMACY or whatever that shitty tagline is where they suddenly remember they the rosters were supposed to be split and strictly adhere to that... except where a feud gets in the way and then they magically forget again after the PPV is over.

Again, I personally have no problem with two world champs in and of itself, but the fucking company can't be assed to actually follow through with it on a regular basis.

They'll split again, and then overfocus on one while minimizing the other until they put that belt on someone they decide to push to the moon but let the original focused belt suffer for it.

You know: normal WWE shit.

It took me a bit to think of who he reminded me of now... the whole clean shaven Vance Archer WWE run. Only Elias doesn't have a tramp stamp.

Yet.

cool. either way Roy Williams was gonna be happy

Lock Jaw 04-04-2022 11:43 PM

Just watched the Cody Rhodes segment.... dunno.... can't buy him as "the" world champion.... If they do split the titles again then sure, give him one of them, why not, it doesn't mean anything.... but if there is only one world title, I just don't see him as on that level.... IC/US Title level yeah.... AEW World Title level sure he could have been, but the single guy on top of WWE... I don't see it ever happening...

Dustin in HoF next year? Cody inducting him?

or year after. I feel Cody has a lot of decent shit in his contract

rez 04-04-2022 11:53 PM

Cody should get a couple good matches win or loss against Edge, AJ

rez 04-04-2022 11:55 PM

Then maybe that eventual Sting match (hopeful) but probably not.

They will get another World Title, they have to. Otherwise World Champ level means Roman, and nobody is beating Roman. Roman is staying champ until Vince sells WWE, at which point Roman will retire as the champion, and they rename HOF as The Roman Reigns WWE Hall of Fame.

Fignuts 04-05-2022 01:27 AM

Holy shit at that KU game.

XL 04-05-2022 03:27 AM

I hope Paul was adjusting for inflation during that promo.

XL 04-05-2022 04:10 AM

Hmmm. Not sure how to feel about this Raw After Mania.

We got a <s>return</s> debut from <s>Elias</s> Ezekiel, Veer finally came and exploded all over the Mysterios, a tease of a Liv/Rhea break up but then an actual Carmella/Zelina break up. An NXT title change out of nowhere.

Little on the way of big debuts/returns, seemingly little in terms of setup for (WrestleMania) Backlash. That said, they might be waiting on Reigns to see how he’s feeling before setting anything up for the title.

Just, expected a little more maybe.

Rammsteinmad 04-05-2022 07:02 AM

Yeah, seems very lackluster compared to past post-Mania Raws.

Evil Vito 04-05-2022 07:10 AM

More shit happened on this post-WM Raw than the last few but it’s not saying much. 2018 was the last time they really made a big deal of it (Lashley returned was the big thing there).

Bad News Gertner 04-05-2022 09:48 AM

Wow, another in the long line of A+ Raw's!

Maluco 04-05-2022 11:04 AM

Biggest show of the year and…

Rollins loses to a midcarder
Zayn loses to Johnny Knoxville
Owens loses to a 57 year old in 5 minutes
Theory loses to a commentator
Styles loses to an ancient Edge

And everyone else is in throwaway or unimportant matches with no build and no heat.

The biggest star is a heel who has been mega pushed at the cost of everyone else for 6 years to the point where they don’t even have a viable opponent for him.

It’s a business that generates money through all the different mediums and potential markets they have, and I guess that is what matters to a business, but as a product? It’s the worst it’s ever been.

For all the anti-HHH sentiment in the other thread, their current (and only) star is someone who is worse than him at every aspect of wrestling, and he is just as stale as HHH at his worst!
