I realise I’m very much in the minority, but I’ve never liked Santino. If they have to do legend spots, I’d prefer if it was someone we haven’t seen show up time and time again. Ken Shamrock was my go-to wish for years, but that time has probably passed now. 

Didn’t he sign a Legends deal last year?

Might have just been for merch stuff, but if he’s physically able to, I wouldn’t rule it out.

[Merzbow]

Someone's after a Rumble showing?

 

[CTXRussomark]

He's surely struck some sort of Iron Sheik type deal for someone to run his social media accounts, as I really can't imagine Steiner shitposting cringe BPP style tweets out of nowhere.

Ripley vs Io for Mania, yeah?

[d-d-d-dAz]

So, Cody v Phil on night 1 and Roman v Phil on night 2 yeah? Sorted.

That really was a breakout performance for JD McDonagh. Have my doubts that he should have been kept in there but what a tough son of a bitch. He’s confirmed he has broke his ribs and punctured his lung.

[WyattSheepMask]

Yeah that was a really nasty snap. Then a few minutes later you’ve got absolute genius Erik smacking him in the back of his head with his knee. Just stay away doing anything around the guys head after something like that.

Insane amount of heel heat for Logan Paul. Trust Seth to suck all the momentum out of it by having to have the final line

Penta in the Rumble will be good. Sheamus getting the IC belt at mania would be perfect. Losing to Penta after though. He's ready. Penta as IC champion, id rather he beat bron at Mania but Sheamus deserves it.

Turns out the head was actually the easiest place to work with on him given the ribs and lung situation he’s confirmed to be fair. I thought he really hurt his head and was potentially concussed but if you watch it back it’s his body that smacks the table which I’m sure he’ll have told the others in the match.

Thought Raw was brilliant. Did a great job hyping up the Rumble and for the first time in forever they could do the Rumble 1991 cover and fill it with stars. 

Drew vs Sami was a fantastic TV match and thought the Punk and Cody promo was red hot too.

[TheScarlettChad]

The people on Reddit and elsewhere wanting Cody to turn heel... madness! He's the one to retire Cena! To gain his confidence back he has to beat Cena. Cody's not Roman. He's John Cena. And I think he has to beat and retire John to become the true face of the company

Wouldn't that turn him heel?

[Lion_of_the_Midlands]

I thought the whole Punk/Cody thing was good but it got a bit Duncan Norvelle.

Depends on how it's done. Maybe not retire him but be his final opponent. 

[d-d-d-dAz]

Cody should definitely turn heel eventually.

I've no real preference on when, but they'll never get another chance like this to turn a megastar heel. They're pissing top babyface talent for the next 6 months to a year.

A Cody heel run - and let's face it the man's a natural heel - could be superb.

I want him to turn heel on Cena, personally.
