So with the Royal Rumble in 2 weeks what are your thoughts on what will happen on Raw and Smackdown until then? Will we actually see Brock Lesnar active in the ring? Will we see any surprise returns? Will blood be shed? What storylines will become bigger and better or fizzle out?
The Man
Will we get to see The Man take on the whole of the Smackdown Women’s Division? As the current go to superstar in the company we need to see the belt back around the waist of Becky Lynch. While Asuka does deserve more ring time and opportunities no one can deny that The Man is red hot and everyone wants to see her as the winner at the Rumble match.
Who knows maybe we’ll get to see Charlotte, Mella, and Asuka all take their frustrations out on Lynch before the big show at the end of January but I’m sure she will still come out of it looking strong. No one in the WWE right now has the straight fire that Becky possesses. Please don’t mess it up… let her keep going and continue to be the crowd favorite.
The Beast
Will we see Lesner compete in a match before the Royal Rumble? My best guess is no, but maybe WWE will decide to surprise us and make him earn the belt that is sitting around his waist. I understand that Roman Reigns is gone, but there are so many other active roster members that deserved the opportunity to wear that title. Guys that show up every week and work… I’m still not sure why Vince is so fascinated with Lesnar.
In my opinion (keyword here: opinion) he is one of the most overrated wrestlers of the past ten years. He is overpaid, underworked and way overhyped. It’s time for a change and since the WWE Universe seems to want to see the Universal Champion depend the title on a regular basis put it on Braun, Drew, Seth, Dean, Finn or even Dolph for that matter. Make the champion work for the title and show some love for the fans at the same time.
The Main Events
Now let’s talk about the namesake of the upcoming pay per view. Who do you want to see have a storyline starting this week that will push them into the winners seat at the Rumble? Names like Balor, Deville, Naomi, Elias, Jeff Hardy, Nattie, Lashley and Bayley all come to mind.
Let’s have some of these folks feud ahead of time and build to a very dramatic ending to the best Rumbles we’ve seen in years. It’s a little late for much build but maybe opening up some old wounds and feuds could help get the fans more attentive.
For once WWE, please start giving the fans what they want. Let the superstars have some fun and show what they are truly capable of. Put the Beast to pasture and let some new blood start plowing the way into the future.

It was around that time when The S.H.I.E.L.D broke onto the main event scene. These three guys came out and made a significant impact on the main roster in a way that no one had in a long time. While Rollins had agility and Ambrose was unpredictable Reigns seemed to be the one who was the quiet, enforcer type. Not only were they skilled in the ring together but they also had the capabilities to be Superstars on their own. They have each had the opportunity to make their skills shine. Even when Rollins turned his back on his friends in the ring I can only imagine that they still shared words and friendly exchanges in their personal lives. You could tell from watching that these guys were brothers outside of the squared circle as well. They were the kind of guys who had your back, and you would have fun just sitting around and having a beer with.
A man, who I’ve liked and cheered for some time, became a man that I will now say a prayer for and wish him nothing but the best in the next part of his story. This man has also shown compassion for kids and fans with health issues the entire time he has been in the public eye. He deserves to be backed during his health battle ahead.
