nearly 24 hrs later and nobody is talking about Dollar store Stone Cold winning the U.S. Title. What a disgrace the WWE has made of a once prestigious title.

Yep most of these guys treat it as a prop to carry around nothing more. That's why they should put the US title on the Miz at WM. He's proven he at least works hard to make the midcard title's look important.

The mid card isn't great right now. Knight isn't as over as he was last year. Im not a Knight fan anyway, but honestly anyone would have been better than Nakamura, he just gets no reaction at all anymore.

Nakamura barely speaks English. They need subtitles to understand him fans won't care much if they can't understand the promo they cut.

This is why I've been a proponent of Nakamura leading a heel stable, where he is sort of a Final Boss type. He doesn't speak much, he's rarely seen, so when you do see him, and he does speak, it's a big deal.

More proof WWE is stuck up their own ass lol

WWE ranked the "top 30 heel turns of all time"

Any guesses as to #1? I'll give you a hint...Hogan NWO turn was #2

If it’s not Men on a Mission turning on Oscar, it’s a ridiculous list

There are many out there that would say Cena's turn is #1.

Has anyone else seen this video yet (Facebook video). Someone did this to make it look like its part of the game. I just cannot stop laughing. The pom-pom getting into the ring action

ThatGuyPal · 03-10-2025, 05:34 AM

Unless I got tricked by an old video everyone saying "How could Cena turn when he's such a hero to kids" yet I saw a vid on movie set kids still coming up asking for pics and Cena obliging. Some people take kayfabe too serious lmao no one thinks Cena is some super villain in real-life now lol

Jaypers · 03-10-2025, 11:26 AM

The fact that Andre turning heel on Hogan during Piper's Pit didn't make their list makes this instantly disqualifying.

Cracktoast · 03-10-2025, 03:05 PM

What about Sgt. Slaughter joining the Iraqis' back when the gulf war was going on ? That was a really risky move that could have backfired badly.

HHH turning on Flair and the blood bath that ensued was pretty epic at the time but obviously that feud itself was mehhh at best and Road Warriors turning on Sting then stabbing Dusty in the eye with one of their spikes has to be up there also.

I'm sure there are many more that were big at the time but just fade away with time.

JustinVerlander07 · 03-10-2025, 07:15 PM

Another tough night for the "Jey Yso can't wrestle" crowd. Crowd is totally invested in his match against Waller.

Jericho · 03-10-2025, 08:23 PM

The Gunther/Uso lead up to Mania is very similar to Gunther/Zayn last year. The whole :Oh Jey cant beat Gunther" thing, which was the same as Zayn last year. Still not looking forward to that match at all.

JustinVerlander07 · 03-10-2025, 08:53 PM

OK, so triple threat at Wrestlemania is coming, but why switch the title? That segment didn't help Sky at all, she's still an afterthought betecause of the star power of Rhea/Belair

natbornkiller · 03-10-2025, 09:05 PM

SO
this match is getting a obvious rematch at wm but how ?

JustinVerlander07 · 03-10-2025, 09:23 PM

When did Rollins become Super Cena?

Cracktoast · 03-10-2025, 09:43 PM

And there is the long suspected Reigns/Rollins/Punk Triple Threat with Heyman's loyalty on the line.

Great main event that could have main evented a PPV IMO and Reigns interfering was the only logical way for both to save face and claim they didn't get pinned. I love they didn't play Roman's music and he just attacked out of nowhere we need more of that.

Next week with Cody/Cena is gonna be off the chain although expect a lot of referee's and security holding them back action.

Not a fan of that match at WrestleMania.

Cracktoast · 03-10-2025, 10:29 PM

And can we talk about how they finally made Reigns a bad ass again instead of that weak ass whatever he was since he came back at Summer Slam ? He really didn't ever have that mean streak we were all used to and tonight we saw the old Tribal Chief again.

Why? I think Punk/Set/Roman will be a good match and worthy of night 1 main event.

I know the hardcore Punk haves been crying saying he needs to be added to Cody/Cena match so he can main event WM but that's not happening as the focus needs to be just them two not add anyone. Also this way you can have Heyman return the favor by helping Punk win during the match. After WM you can have Punk say it's time I move on and look towards the WWE title and you end up with Punk vs Cena at SummerSlam.

packman80 · 03-11-2025, 05:28 AM

Sucks I see that Raw is going to start when many people are at work. With Cena coming out first time since PPV many will have to watch a replay. I am sorry they should not have Cena first time coming out being overseas on a Raw that many won't be able to watch live screw the overseas crowd.

Not a fan of the match at all because while I understand the logic of how they're getting to the match, there are no stakes for winning/losing and I'd far prefer to see either Punk or Roman beat Rollins 1 on 1.

Shouldn't it be something all three men desire? Unless I missed something Seth never gave a rat's behind about Heyman. Cool match and you didn't write the storyline but they are making it about Heyman so now you have two options:

1. The winner is foreshadowed between Punk/Roman as those are the two battling for Heyman

2. Hunter Mcmahon keeps going attitude era swerves/surprises and Heyman turns on both Roman/Punk FOR Seth, therefore the swerve no one saw coming ala Cena.

Neither are extremely exciting options to me as one I think Roman wins as Roman doesn't seem like a multiple Mania in a row loser. Option two if Seth pins Punk I mean the idea itself isn't terrible but in execution I just don't see Seth/Heyman being a great pairing, not all work we remember Cesaro lol Seth's character also seems too manic to follow a "wiseman" like Paul

The crowd was dead and the match was sloppy though that's pretty much all wrestling matches these days.
