The cruiserweight tournament will largely consist of unsigned guys as a means to sign talent. Judging from the qualifying matches not all the matches will be held on a WWE event. The WWE guys that will be in the tourney are the indie guys on NXT like Gargano and Ciampa. It’s best to keep the main roster guys out of it.
No, hardcores don’t like Reigns but they mark for guys like Rollins, Cesaro, Zayn and Styles.
Clearly the solution is “Smackdown General Manager: Daniel Bryan”.
Actually, the answer would be: "General Manager of Smackdown: King…BOOKAH!"
I know everyone is worried and wants him to win, and I hope he does, but don’t act like Nakamura vs Cena isn’t going to be the hypest shit ever.
The reaction this match is going to get is going to blow the roof off the building.
Cannot. Wait.
He is signed until end of season 2’s finale air date. He specifically asked for an open ended contract as well incase new Japan or wwe wanted to hire him Fulltime. HHH loves Ricochet and loved his work when he had tryouts over the course of 2015 it was just a case of “right guy, wrong time”
I would like a brand split if it is a true brand split. None of these grey area situations where superstars hop between shows. Yearly swaps and RAW vs SD PPVs to get to draft NXT talent would be pretty cool.
Those guys look like if matanza ate a red mushroom
What i want in a brand split
Ic belt=sd
Us belt=raw
Tag, women, wwe title on both brands
That is it.
I hope if we get kotr this year it is only the younger guys
Like if wwe does kotr i want 8 to be:
Cesaro
Rusev
Owens
Zayn
Kalisto
Corbin
Big E
Big Cass
SD! Spoilers…

That’s alot for a Two Hr SD programming…
Anyways So WWE isn’t done with their spring cleaning so who else may get future endeavor’d?
I say:
Swagger
The Ascension
Rosa Mendes
Adam Rose
Heath Slater
Curtis Axel
Ryback(Or let his contract expire)
They’ll probably hold off on firing Rosa if she’s still on maternity leave. I don’t see Slater going anywhere as he’s a good hand. Ascension may stay depending on how much they care for the tag division.
Heath is a great hand and a good promo. Wwe lets him do things.
All of Ryback’s merch is on clearance so I think it’s pretty obvious he’s done.
I don’t know why the Colon’s are getting a 4th or 5th chance, but whatever.
In a shocking F U they could cut Tyson Kidd.
Nah i see tyson getting an nxt job
asuka ring entrance + murder face>>>>anything from the bellas.
-Starhammer-
I’m sure you have likely seen it all by now, but Brooklyn Brawler was released as part of spring cleaning after over 30 years with the company.
Lol wut?
This match is a shitty idea for a ton of reasons.
New signee, Asian, star outside wwe.
Yeah cena likely asked for the match, and it could be good but of cena gets hurt or doesn’t look strong enough…
And man oh man. Some great pics in here of NXT/FCW dudes.
We all want this gimmick so bad.
