WWE fans, as well as the company itself, are surely be very excited about the return of The Usos since they had been such an integral mainstay within the company over the last decade. No one can be more excited than Roman Reigns since they are his cousins after all. It’s worth mentioned The Usos saved Reigns from having dog food poured on him again at the hands of King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler.
Speaking of Reigns, wrestling fans would be extremely pleased to see a WrestleMania 36 main event between him and Daniel Bryan. Unfortunately, I think this is wishful thinking. It’s so hard at this point to see a scenario where Reigns beats The Fiend for the Universal Championship since The Fiend is quite clearly the hottest act in WWE and is the company’s no. 1 merch seller.
WWE will be able to capitalize on the fact that The Miz is being mentally beaten down by The Fiend/Bray Wyatt and possibly turning heel because of it. This combined with the fact that he and John Morrison are such close friends, Morrison could be inserted into one of the major programs on SmackDown.
Sheamus also made his return on this past week’s episode of SD. It is so great to see that he didn’t officially retire as some thought he might due to all the injuries he’s suffered throughout his career. In hindsight (which is always 20/20), fans may have been able to see this coming because he was still working like crazy and is probably in the best shape of his entire career, at 41 years old (almost 42).
Dana Brooke is deserving of all the opportunities she gets from this point forward, because she has spent close to 3 ½ years on the main roster and has been underutilized and overlooked. She has more than paid her dues at this point (the most significant thing anyone remembers her doing is being the statistician for Titus Worldwide).
This obviously isn’t the main program here, it’s between Bayley and Lacey Evans, who will likely be booked in a SmackDown Women’s Championship match at Royal Rumble, and Bayley will finally defend her title.
Braun Strowman will likely be booked in an Intercontinental Championship match with Shinsuke Nakamura. Strowman desperately needs a victory at Royal Rumble. Frankly, if I had never watched WWE programming before and someone told me that Strowman had never won a singles title before after being on the main roster for over three years, I would say, “Are you kidding me? That’s a major programming error!”
