Granted, he can say that he wasn’t the one beaten, but nothing gets a face over quite like having a moan about being the victim of circumstance. It’s the same as when they tried to crown Roman at WM32. He got the confetti and the fireworks to close the show, ushering in this new era & champion, and all you had to do was ignore the fact that he’d already won and lost the belt twice in the 5 months previous. If you want have the crowning moment that’s fine, but the timing is everything. The boyhood dream didn’t come true for Shawn Michaels after having already won & lost the belt Edited March 9, 2022 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted March 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 9, 2022 We're also operating in a different era though, where there are more television hours to fill, more 'special' editions of NXT to promote to drive ratings, etc. No issue with the booking at all here - it's a surprise result that generates some buzz, actually freshens things up a bit for Ziggler for a short spell, and you'll get your big moment with Bron regaining the gold on 'Mania weekend. They'll live off the videos/photos and content collected with him picking up the title on 'Mania weekend for a good while. He didn't take the fall and it'll be quite easy to build him back up over the course of the next few weeks. On the point of having someone like Kofi or another stale-ish act coming to NXT ala Ziggler - no issue with this whatsoever in principal. It freshens things up for all concerned and keeps things relatively interesting. It also further integrates the NXT contingent onto the main shows for additional build, which will only accelerate their development.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Imagine the scene. Scott & Rick go into the Hall Of Fame on the Friday (allegedly) then their boy Bron wins the belt from Ziggles over the Mania weekend. What a great feel good story. Hopefully it's only Rick that turns up to accept as I dread to think what Scott's acceptance speech would be like. Probably delivered in Morse code. Edited March 9, 2022 by jazzygeofferz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Can only imagine Ziggles has been given the strap so he can bump for Bron and make him look a million bucks at the next PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted March 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 9, 2022 Has a rematch been announced? Part of me thinks Bron being on Raw this week and not being the one pinned feels like they're about to hot shot him onto the main roster full time just in time for Mania season. Could we maybe see him beat Ricochet for the IC title and have him bump like mad for Bron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a bit random for him to show up on SmackDown if so .. not that WWE really care about stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea Ricochet was the IC Champion right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Ziggler presumably turned up with the belt on Raw?  Unless he's going to get a permanent transfer down to NXT, it feels like cutting the legs off the brand.  Edited March 10, 2022 by Loki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 They haven't had a RAW after this NXT yet so I guess we'll see how they treat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TildeGuy~! Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 They definitely didn’t trust Mandy Rose and Cora Jade to have a good match did they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
