Will be interesting to see who Edge faces at WM.

Because Vince, that's why. Vince finds it hilarious so it happens.
We are talking about a dude who thinks sneezing is a waste of time and who has cheated multiple times on Linda as well as having an "interesting" upbringing so its hardly surprising why he has the King cheering for "puppies" at every opportunity.
FWIW - I totally agree with everything you say and I enjoyed what I saw of RR; however, I do feel Vince gets it tight from the IWC because LOL Vince.

It's really gone back to being a struggle to watch, hasn't it?
The Miz is champion in 2021. He's a lower midcarder at best. Bizarre.
I just think a PPV should be elevated a bit more - have Drew win and end the show there, and on Raw the following night have him do a speech about being battered and bruised but going to WM, then Lashley attacks and Miz wins it on Raw if you really want to do that.
It's all the result of months of bad short term booking and Vince's lack of vision. Less than a year ago Otis was the hottest thing since sliced bread in his eyes but it became apparent really quickly that he's hugely limited so they needed to find a way to get it off of him. There's a real lack of convincing heels on Raw (or there was back then) so The Miz gets the briefcase. They then spend ages booking Miz in absolutely terrible segments that make him look weak and by the time the "road to Wrestlemania" rolls around, they panic and realise they need to do something with the briefcase. You then end up with a lower midcarder as WWE Champion ten years past his best.
I don't care if he drops it to Lashley tonight or at Fastlane as I don't want to watch that match. Several rapid title changes between midcarders cheapens the belt like in the dying days of WCW. Lashey vs Drew I could get behind but it's such a lethargic, long winded way to get to that match.
I admire the new ways they come up with to try to murder any momentum that anyone with potential has.
The list of people they have screwed over with piss poor booking and an abrupt end to a push over the past few years is endless.
I think that's harsh on miz. He's not exactly the best in the world, but he's a decent hand in the ring and an absolutely smarmy git that everyone wants to see lose.
His ic title run a few years ago was very decent.
The Miz himself is a good performer - a bit beige in the ring but a talented promo and a natural heel. It's just his booking over the last twelve months has made him look like either a comedy character, an idiot or a jobber.
The lesson should have learned when the belt was put on Jinder - you can't just tell your audience "this guy's the man now, forget what you've seen of him before that".
Mick Foley tweeting the big show to congratulate him on a move to AEW but copying in the MSP for Cowdenbeath by accident is the best thing to happen in wrestling in a long time :greengrin
I think Drew could end up working with Shaemus at mania. They've known each other a long time so to work together at mania would be great for them both.
I think they might give Drew a title run again near the middle/end of the year and have him champ or going for the title at next mania in front of a full house.
Lashley Champion :hyper
AEW making huge announcement this Sunday.
Rumour it could be Brock Lesnar.
Just when the ring non explosion during the AEW main event was the biggest WTF worthy moment this year, that Shane McMahon promo not even 24 hours later.
Apparently that was exactly as planned too.
Thunder Rosa v britt Baker was giiid.
Anybody else in no way bothered about Wrestlemania this year? Rushed builds, terrible feuds, inconsistent booking. Shane vs Braun is one of the worst ever feuds in modern WWE.
