Seth Rollins’ booking has positioned him perfectly to a point where he does not necessarily need a title to be a relevant piece on Monday Night Raw, so WWE should take advantage of this by booking Seth to be the first of the major babyfaces who won a title at WrestleMania to lose, because this is sure to provide at least a temporary jump in viewership for Raw.
On the SmackDown side of things, Rey Mysterio recently talked about the fact that he only sees himself wrestling for a couple more years. This is more than reasonable as he is 44 years old and he has been wrestling since age 14. He has given his entire heart and soul to the industry and deserves a proper sendoff.
The third topic that needs discussing is the fact that Braun Strowman’s character desperately needs a reboot. A move to SmackDown Live would do just that for him. If not, a feud with Lars Sullivan, a rivalry with Samoa Joe could revitalize him in the same way. This may be the route that WWE has decided to go since Joe and Strowman had a confrontation this past week on SmackDown Live. Joe’s intensity brings the best out of his opponents and makes them look very strong, whether it’s providing a suitable challenger to Lesnar or saving AJ Styles’ WWE Championship reign.
Sasha Banks has also stated, rather impulsively I might add, her disapproval with the company for orchestrating she and Bayley’s loss of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships after they are the ones who worked so hard to bring them to the company. This logic completely makes sense, however Sasha’s relationship with WWE is so tightknit and the company has done so much for her in life and vice versa that I have a very hard time envisioning a scenario where the two sides part ways. She will probably come to this realization after some self-reflecting and deep introspection.
Lastly, Dana White has asserted in a recent press conference that the media basically put words in his mouth by insinuating that a fight between Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar was imminent and that a fight between the two has not been discussed. Because of this development, Lesnar will probably be staying with WWE, which is not a problem by any means. Lesnar is a great performer but there are complaints of how little he is around, and with good reason. A perfect opponent for him may be Bobby Lashley. Lashley is a very credible opponent who looks like he would have a reasonable chance to beat Brock while keeping him busy outside the Universal Championship picture. The fact is that Lashley has an extensive MMA background is just icing on the cake. There will surely be some entertaining promo segments between Paul Heyman and Lio Rush.
