I know it's just a poster, but if I'm a F/T guy that goes out and busts my ass every night to try and work my way up, I'd be pissed about things like that. That sends such a bad message.

Not that there's any indication that they will but they won't be able to ignore him throughout Mania season. Will AJ be the new Bryan if they do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Mania match where an AJ's involved and it goes under 20 seconds? Well, it worked for Sheamus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It worked really well for Bryan too, it just took a couple years to pay off. Unfortunately with Jericho winning the US belt, Roman winning the U seems a lot more likely. I could see Taker/Roman at Mania being a legit possibility.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Roman/Taker sounds like a trainwreck just waiting to happen. Maybe they can just do entrances; Roman coming down through the crowd again and Taker coming out with druids, thunder, lightning, caskets, vultures, and whatever else can be thought of to cover up how broken down he looks in the ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Cena vs. Reigns is the obvious money match to me, I don't get why there never seems to be any talk about it. The crowd reactions alone would be off the charts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It's hard to get to Cena/Roman storyline wise without one guy losing their title match then winning the Rumble. Compound that angle with other guy needing to beat his more popular opponent, and that makes the Rumble a pretty horrible show. They could probably pull it off as an inter-brand bragging rights kind of match, but I don't see Vince treating either guy like an afterthought at Mania.

Web Conn Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I don't want Taker to win the Rumble. I wouldn't mind Reigns vs Taker at Mania, the match doesn't have to go over 10 minutes, and it can be mostly enterances and smoke and mirrors but I think Reigns should win if the wrestle each other. I have a feeling like many others that Reigns wins the U at the Rumble. Then Owens faces Jericho for the US Title at Mania. Reigns and Goldberg vs Lesnar and Taker at Fastlane could be a cool main event. I've read that Joe is expected to debut in the Rumble match and then receive a big push. Why not have him win the Rumble and close the show with Joe vs AJ for the World Title in the Main Event of Mania in Orlando. Or how is this for a crazy pipe dream of an Idea: Cena beats AJ at RR tiring with Flair, Joe wins the Rumble. Joe beats Cena for the Title at Mania. This sets up a three way feud between AJ, Joe and Cena throughout the spring and summer until SummerSlam when Cena beats Joe and has a "legendary" 15 month 17th World Title reign beating Punks record.

Guys, stop! The eventual reality is going to be such a let down if you get those kind of things in your head. I love Samoa Joe's work as much as the next guy but if you're expecting him to be anything above strong IC/US champ, I'm thinking you'll be greatly disappointed.

Spritenaut 32 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'd debut Joe by having him choke out Cena post-match after Cena wins no. 16, but Joe debuting as the third member of Golden Truth is probably more likely. I know Meltzer says otherwise, but I think that, if the company had big plans for Joe, they'd have called him up by now.\ I'll be satisfied if Joe gets some time on the main roster and a strong IC/US-level push.

zev Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Deep down, we think Joe can win the Rumble. Deeper down, we know he's more likely to team with the Shining Stars and lose to Goldust, R-Truth, and the returning Lil Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
