    Rusev could've been bigger. I'm not understanding what happened. I suspected it had to do w Trump/Russia but that's just speculation. To me, it seemed that's when he took the plunge to jobber status. I don't blame him for asking for his release. He can do better else where, I hope.

    How patient can a dude be. He's been there long enough and to make matters worse he gotta watch Jinder take his spot and be the man.

    rusev aint been released B.. I just read earlier today that he about to be in a program against Orton. Him losing to Orton at Summerslam in 15 seconds was used to set up the program and the only reason Orton won is cause he had been on a losing streak since his last match against Bray and all those matches against Jinder. He needed the win

    he's only been there 3 years

    theres stories all the time of folks undeserving gettin more of a push, the jinder situation is no different.

    sit back and ask urself has rusev honestly gotten himself over to b like this guy BEEN deserved a title reign? not imo, but he has the potential n he an entertaininfg promo, shine vs orton, maybe face aj, keep working, he can get there

    And in other news......

    Plans for The New Day; Reason Why O'Reilly & Fish Are Aligned With Adam Cole


    One of the ideas being tossed around for the New Day is to not only make them the longest reigning tag team champions in WWE history (which they already are) but to also label them as the greatest tag team of all-time by giving them the most title reigns of any tag team in WWE history. This would explain their quick title reign this month bringing them to three total reigns, trailing the seven held by the Hardy Boyz and Edge & Christian.

    With Adam Cole now in NXT and feuding with Drew McIntyre as the top feud on the brand, it created an interesting dynamic where you have a huge babyface working against a small heel. Apparently this is the reason why creative put Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish with Cole to give him that backup.



    I love me some new day bruh but damn thats crazy if true..

    And I hope they dont just plan to split those ROH boys up once the McIntyre feud is over

    1. That's stupid. There is little about the WWE that is organic anymore
    2. Aren't the Dudleyz 9 time champs anyway?

    i think titles need to change hands more often honestly. it keeps things from getting stagnant.
    as long as they don't change hands every 2 weeks I don't see the problem

    To me when you play hot potato with a title it doesn't lend stability to the championship. .. for example edge he had all them title reigns as the rated r superstar but how many of those reigns were over 120 days?

    Im guessing the only one who is slick tired of New Day..i mean keep them as a comedy team if they ain't going to push E but they need to chill around the title pic for a while. Fans will eventually ? on them if it keeps going as it's has been when New Day lost its edge.

    I get this, but we've been on the brink of this a couple times and they always recover. The way they have new day now is fine, y not have the most over team on the show around or near the title story, plus usos vs new day has yet to be anything less than good.

    But like I said earlier, it is time to give em a couple more real seriously taken opponents
