Christian should come back to smack down more often
Just realised that if the Real Americans split up, Cesaro is either their second or third biggest singles heel by default behind Orton and possibly Del Rio. There really is a huge lack of heels, so I'm assuming Sheamus turns after his return goodwill wears off, fella.
Although you could argue it wore off after Rey Mysterious came out in the Rumble.

AJ should've been #30.

Apparently nothing fucking happens on raw anymore besides talking.
cause there's not enough time on 3 hour raw to fit these things
Wouldn't be surprised if they redid some of those matches/angles on Raw anyway like they also do.
TURN THE LIGHTS ON ITS DARK
Don't worry, I'm sure after he re-injures his shoulder tonight, we'll all look forward to his Smackdown return in 6 months.
Actually thinking there's so much going on with this Smackdown his return might get bumped to next week. Obviously the live crowd will riot if this is the case though.

She should have been #2 that way CM Punk could have hit her with the GTS
Ahhhh rohypnol. The real GTS.
You know what? I like the EC roster but Kofi got robbed.

Now even PPV gets the Christian bump.

Supernatural is hardly mainstream.
It airs on the CW.
It gets 2.5 million viewers or less every week.
You know what gets more than 2.5 million viewers a week?
Monday Night RAW.
Supernatural characters should hope to get mentioned on RAW so THEY'LL be considered mainstream. Not the other way around.
Damn I'm a supernatural fan but that was ice cold lol. Where's that Loki gif when you need it

The Kofi clock never leads anywhere. It's a circle after all.
So, Sting has signed with the WWE in the past 24 hours? Apparently? Maybe?
IT'S HAPPENING?

It's a shame because the guy does have a lot of fans and his in-ring work is pretty unique and impressive. Of course, he still needs a character.
On an unrelated note, does anyone else wonder why tag teams virtually never get mic/promo time in the WWE? I don't even remember one Rhodes Brothers promo when they were champs.
Which really sucks, he's got talent and I think he could go far
People called a CM Punk reference on PTI on ESPN mainstream, even though that show barely gets under a million viewers. By that metric, Supernatural is supremely popular.
MAINSTREAM!!!!! FAMOUS!!!! TRENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kane: Not nearly as annoying as his fanboys.

This SoulPlaya gimmick ain't so good. :/
Yep, it's the first thing I noticed when I watched Raw earlier this year.
WWE have no top heels and that's a bad situation to be in. Daniel Bryan is a face, Cena is a face, CM Punk is a face, Sheamus is a face, Big Show is a face, Rey Mysterio is a face, Kane and Triple H don't apparently wrestle full-time now, and Orton is a heel. That's their top talent, I don't think I missed anyone. Let's say you manage to put someone like Daniel Bryan on top, who is he supposed to face? What about Cena? Or CM Punk? Apparently, they've already exhausted all of those potential matches going by what I'm seeing here and there of the past couple years. Where does that leave you?
It's also why I think WWE is so short sighted. The first thing I thought when I heard Batista is coming back, and caught up with Raw, is that Orton shouldn't be the champion. Bryan should have been champion since last summer and the first thing to do with Batista should be to turn him heel prior to Wrestlemania.
How are you supposed to book a show without proper heels? It's part of why I find Raw so boring. There is no conflict. No interesting fued.
Edit:
This could be bad or good because...
Lesnar is not in the EC, which kind of sucks since I want to see him in it, so he's facing Undertaker and not Batista. This then means we're either getting Batista/Bryan, Batista/Orton or maybe even Batista/Orton/Bryan. I really hope it's the first option and Batista is turning heel.

Pretty old, that was out there in SvR 2011. No doubt they repeat that each year, too.
What gimmick? Do you know how rare it is for the WWE to get a mainstream mention? Let alone, a Kane one? Of course, I would be hyped.
But as mentioned earlier, WWE is way more main stream than anything on the CW. The CW mentioned Kane is getting that indie cred.
And as I mentioned, CM Punk getting mentioned on a show averaging under a million views was considered mainstream, and in that case, this is much more so. It's a non WWE show on a decently major network (especially among younger viewers), and they fucking mentioned Kane of all people.
That's the spirit!
