Fake Fighting Frenzy: Why WWE Must Turn Roman Reigns Heel (or reunite the Shield)

Image
Roman Reigns has had seven ( seven ) opportunities at the WWE championship in the past year and has won it twice with a third title reign (no pun intended) seemingly inevitable. Why does WWE Creative possibly think we're still buying the idea that the Authority is actively working against his success? The only thing that makes sense at this point is for the Authority and Reigns to have been in it together all along. But then what does that mean for Roman Reigns v. Triple H at WrestleMania? How could you even book a Roman Reigns heel turn at this point? You would have to add a third person--a babyface. John Cena? Ugh, that's a depressing prospect but at least it would make sense and Roman Reigns could be the Authority's hand-picked heel champion and it could set up what could be a really good John Cena v. Roman Reigns title match at WrestleMania 33. Seth Rollins? He probably won't be back at 100% in time for WrestleMania but if he could be, he would be perfect. You c...

Update on Daniel Bryan's Condition (SPOILERS) and Money In the Bank Theory/Fantasy Booking (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)

Image
So the big news of the day is that Daniel Bryan will not be cleared to compete in this month's Money In the Bank pay-per-view and therefore will likely--probably tonight--be stripped of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship . This means that the Money In the Bank match at the PPV will likely be for the championship rather than for the briefcase(s) and contract(s). But it doesn't necessarily have to be. Not exactly. WWE.com Here's what I propose: Reveal tonight on Raw that HHH has inked a deal with Daniel Bryan to split the titles back up again and have Bryan forfeit either the WWE Title or the World Heavyweight Championship while retaining the other. This effectively turns HHH on Steph while still essentially keeping him heel because he believes Daniel Bryan is "best for business" and can make The Authority a lot of money but Steph disagrees because he's insubordinate and beloved and a legitimate threat to their power and she learned from her dad that...

JULY 21ST: VUNDABLOG INVADES WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW @ AMERICAN AIRLINES ARENA

Image
July 21st. The night after Battleground in Tampa. RAW.IS.VUNDABLOG So excited for the possibilities here. Maybe Bo Dallas will give us cookies. Maybe Cesaro will be a main eventer by then. Maybe Sami Zayn will be on Raw by then. Who knows what the Shield and the Wyatts will be up to? Let alone Daniel Bryan. We certainly hope we get to see Paul Heyman cut a promo and drop in a "MY CLIENT BA-ROOOCK LESNARRRRR CONQUERED THE UNDERTAKER'S UNDEFEATED STREAK AT WRESTLEMANIA!" Whatever happens, it will be a night to remember as VUNDABLOG INVADES MONDAY NIGHT RAW! #RAWISVUNDABLOG

The Road to #HELLINACELL -- Week 1 (Raw 9/16 & Smackdown 9/21)

Image
RAW 9/16/13 Daniel Bryan is Going to Fight:  Well the ununthinkable happened on Raw just like we all knew it would.  HHH did an expert job breaking down the "800 lb gorilla that is sitting in the room" (Trips, if you're going to use a cliche, use the damn cliche, don't try to "spruce it up" or whatever) of the fast count on Daniel Bryan's title win at Night of Champions like a sportscaster breaking down a coach's challenge in football.  Showing Scott Armstrong's "normal cadence" was a particularly nice touch.  An even nicer touch was Armstrong turning to Bryan and saying "they got us Daniel" and HHH holding this up as indisputable evidence of a conspiracy between Bryan and Armstrong (as Bryan desperately insists he doesn't know what Armstrong is talking about but who the hell cares) and proceeding to mercilessly berate him about embarrassing himself and the company and disgracing the title and a plague on his house.  ...

Fake Fighting Digest -- WWE Roundup (Raw 5/6/13 & Smackdown 5/10/13): Ryback Nip-Slips and The Great Khali Just Generally Being Awesome

RAW 5/6/13 -God dammit, Cena.  It's not bad enough you co-opted Daniel Bryan's "YES!" chants while he was fighting in a match that you cost him?  You had to cut an ENTIRE PROMO based on co-opting his chants?  This is incredibly annoying, even for you.  I can't even believe I just said that but there it is. -THANK YOU VICKIE *clap clap clapclapclap* -Seriously, though, I'm really starting to love Vickie and her "EXCUSE ME"s.  Not so much that "Cougar" necklace, though. -Seriously, though, John Cena is ten years old.  There are few things in wrestling less compelling than him insulting people.  In five minutes he has derided Ryback for "running away screaming like a little girl" because he wisely decided against a match against The Shield that most likely would have ended up with him getting the crap kicked out of him, called him a "complainer" for calmly explaining his legitimate issues with Cena, done a super fuc...

Fake Fighting Digest: WWE Roundup (Raw & Smackdown)

RAW 4/29/13 Langston/Rodriguez/Colter -Big E Langston takes on Ricardo Rodriguez and Zeb Coulter in a three-way dance and the winner gets to pick the stipulation for the match at Extreme Rules?  Oh, this is GENIUS.  Especially if Big E doesn't win.  Actually, Big E winning would be way too obvious.  I fully expect him to lose.  Especially since triple threat matches are always No DQ. "NO!  DON'T COUNT TO THREE!  TOUCH MY BOOB INSTEAD!" -Wait so AJ stops Zeb from getting the win...and then just stands there while RR gets the pin? -That was seriously wildly entertaining.  A healthy dose of Big E beating the snot out of RR and Zeb, plenty of funny (Coulter collapsing and claiming his knee went out leading to RR attacking Big E with the bucket totally made me lol so hard), a particularly fun, enjoyable sequence where each of the three wrestlers intervened on behalf of their representatives in the match leading to a perfectly logical reaso...
