caley Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 So you guys thought that casket match was the end of their feud, eh? SmackDown spoilers- SmackDown opens with Miz TV with Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns. The segment ended when Reigns nailed Miz with a superman punch. Reigns then challenged Bryan to fight for tonight, but Seth Rollins interrupted them and said that the Authority have booked Daniel Bryan vs. The Stooges and Rollins for later tonight. - Ryback and Dolph Ziggler defeated Stardust and Goldust. - Dean Ambrose defeated Curtis Axel. - Fandango defeated Adam Rose. - Roman Reigns defeated The Miz. - Rusev defeated Erick Rowan. - Paige defeated Alicia Fox. - Daniel Bryan defeated Seth Rollins, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble. Post-match, Kane ran down to the ring and choke slammed Bryan. The four men then beatdown and laid out Bryan to end SmackDown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm starting to believe the joke that Daniel Bryan is living in purgatory might actually be onto something. I like Kane, but can they just transistion him to being this Johnny Ace type for Triple H (ie not be the default feud for everyone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebbie Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Way to book into my idea that DB is going to get tired of being the nice guy cuz it hasn't gotten him shit. He got his ass kicked 4 on 1 and no one bothered to help him lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Fast Lane:Reigns-Bryan Rusev-Cena Nikki-Paige Likely: Barrett-Ambrose Usos-Brass Ring Club I could see them doing Ziggler/Ryback/Rowan vs. Rollins/Show/Kane to give all of those guys something to do. Preshow would be Goldust/Stardust vs. Miz/Sandow to see which team implodes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 They wouldn't have to look far to see how to make Daniel serious yet still worth rooting for. Sami Zayn has been able to do that pretty well and he's still the most popular guy on NXT. It's worth trying, but an aggressive Daniel Bryan leading into WM could do wonders. It could happen after he gets screwed over at Fast Lane and it drives him nuts. They just have to find that right balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w. josh Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'll play devil's advocate and say that Kane coming out at the end might not necessarily be a continuation of the singles feud. "Kane's the Authority's muscle, the Authority doesn't like Bryan and doesn't want him in the Mania main event again, Kane orchestrates a beat-down on Bryan" doesn't have to mean more one on one matches. I hope I'm not being delusional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It'll probably just lead to some transitional tag matches. Traditional babyface vs babyface build in WWE is having them tag together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are still using 'he's over in NXT' when comparing them to the main roster? Very few NXT call ups the last few years have been worth a shit.

Patrick B. Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I have no expectations for the NXT guys once they make it to the main roster. I don't see any of them going anywhere (MAYBE Corbin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Almost everything that Bryan brings to the table, Sami does as well to some degree. Frankly, I thought they were a little nuts not to bring him up last spring with Bryan endorsing him to try to transfer as much buzz as possible.

But I'm hopeful with who they have now. As good as Neville is, Sami has the best chance. Bryan's long-term future is uncertain with his injuries, and Sami is the best babyface I've seen in years. Proof of that can be seen in the Cesaro matches from last year, and that's with a guy who's on the main roster. What can I say, I'm in the band.

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I hope they are running with Ziggler as "the Little Guy" to Ryback's "big guy". Supposedly they had matching lifting belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I like how y'all are playing the "NXT call-ups have all failed" card in a discussion about Daniel Bryan who just had a great Raw main event with Seth Rollins leading to him facing Roman Reigns at Fastlane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 As far as NXT callups go, there's been: -Paige-Definitely not a bust. She's traded the belt with AJ and Nikki and is on Total Divas. -Rollins-Definitely not a bust. -Emma-After Santino's retirement not much happened. -Ascension-Wait and see but so far a bust. -Sandow-In FCW mainly, cup of coffee in NXT. In best role yet, but doesn't count as NXT for me. -Roman definitely doesn't count as he was only in FCW, but they're claiming him as an NXT guy. I'm blanking on others. Wow, I have to take back my earlier statement, there's been some great callups. I think that because they never trumpet that Rollins was in NXT people tend to forget he was there. As far as testing the waters, there was a good reaction to the tag match they had on Raw. Zayn and Neville really shone in that. And people reacted quite favorably to Charlotte/Sasha from Main Event. So there is cause for hope going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I like how y'all are playing the "NXT call-ups have all failed" card in a discussion about Daniel Bryan who just had a great Raw main event with Seth Rollins leading to him facing Roman Reigns at Fastlane. Bryan: as far as I know, never a part of the current NXT setup. Rollins: Was in current NXT, though his character there was nixed when he was called up. Reigns: very limited NXT time, character change upon call up, generally isn't viewed as an "NXT guy" nearly as much as his SHIELD brethren. I think the better statement is: any time the E has got there hands on a NXT call up with a ready made gimmick instead of having to create something, it has failed either through there being no real upside in the gimmick, or that they don't do much of anything with it and leave it dead in the water. Exception is seemingly Paige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is cause for hope going forward. The ones you are forgetting (Bo Dallas, Emma, the new setup of Tyson Kidd. Adam Rose) are the ones not doing much. Also, I imagine NXT could have gotten tons more out of the Wyatt's then the main show did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Ok, so "NXT callups fail so long as we limit what constitutes an NXT callup to people who support the assertion that NXT callups fail." And if you're going to ignore gameshow-NXT as not being the same concept as current-NXT (certainly a defensible position), how can you ignore FCW, which WAS the same concept as current NXT, just without the PC at Full Sail as a home base? If you want to say Bryan/Ryback etc don't count, that's fine, but then you've got no grounds for not counting Ambrose and Reigns. Then at that point, we can point to a crapton more people who went through FCW like Barrett, Sheamus, the Usos, Swagger, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
