Here is one (admittedly stupid) idea that they haven't done before.

He could come out after the Crown Jewel main event and cash in, then just take it in turns attempting to pin Sammi and Roman. Sod it, pile them up, pin them both, take both their belts and that stupid crown jewel title and stick mini pyros on ALL OF THEM!

The sad truth is that whatever they do with Penta holding the briefcase, they’ll never be able to create a more perfect, magical moment than against Roman in Mexico City the other week. That was the open goal and they bottled it.

I don't think they bottled it. While it would have been an amazing moment, it wasn't the right time to put the belt on him. The briefcase feels like the logical step to level him up to a position where he would feel like a credible world champion. I hate MitB ambush cash-ins and always have done, so what I would like to see them do with Penta is return to Mexico within the year and have him declare his rematch with Roman in advance. I think this way you build monster anticipation for the title change. Nobody really thought they were going to switch the title last month.

A hot angle! 

Having not seen alot of late, I was briefly puzzled though when Joe Tess was seemingly going on about Hugh Pugh from Barry Welsh is Coming at the start.

How it feels arriving home to the wife and kids holding a chippy tea.

At least the pyro from the case, which tbf is cool as fuck, means they're definitely not having him do an unsuccessful cash in. TKO don't put money into anything unless it's going to have an ROI. Depressingly. 

Penta is brilliant though. Very pleased for him. He's smashed this run in WWE in a way I didn't think was likely.

A lot of different opinions on the Zayn/ Reigns promo. Saying the WWE title hasn't meant shit in two years is something. Completely bury Punk, Cody, Drew and Zayn in one promo.

Completely on brand for Roman as a character though, especially full Tribal Chief mode. Granted his face/heel trajectory since losing the other belt has been confusing to say the least but his essence has always been that he's the important one and whatever he does makes things the main event or the main belt etc.

I don't think it's a big deal myself. He's saying that the belt hasn't meant anything since he lost it. He has an inflated opinion of himself, that's his character. If the announcers were saying it that would be one thing, but it's just an egotistical man being egotistical. Just because he says it, doesn't make it true.

I think that would be absolutely fine if he had an established heel character who made those sorts of claims and the announcers consistently said he was full of shit. The blueprint is clearly MJF in modern wrestling. But Roman seems to have no consistent moral stance, he buries everyone, wrestlers and fans ackowledge him and annuncers are in awe. So when he says stuff like this, it doesn't come off as anything but a burial of the other belt and champions. As it did the other way around. It's more have your cake and eat it booking that AI is guilty of.
