Riddle seems to be supplanting Drew as 'top face' on RAW
I wonder if this builds to Riddle vs Brock at WM |

Drew seems ripe for a heel turn and move to SD

Heel Drew on smack down is second fiddle to Roman though and Roman needs new babyfaces to devour while they try to see off they can get Rock to come in.

I expect Roman to turn face post SummerSlam tbh.
If the rumor of Rock returning to work Survivor Series with Roman/Usos is true it wouldn't make sense for Roman/Usos to be heel and Rock a face on a Survivor Series team...I mean if WWE could do subtle storytelling it would work but...it's WWE. |

It would make more sense to just have Roman jump the Rock at his next TV appearance to establish his chiefdom to the highest ranking guy in the family. |

Nikki Cross’ superhero character has been renamed to Nikki ASH.
Meant to be an acronym for “almost super hero”. But it is probably just more confirmation that Karrion Kross is on the way. |

Idea: Eva Marie brings back the Divas title. |

I've heard people say that all the fans are smart marks these days. The replies to that tweet say otherwise. Holy shit, some of those people definitely eat cereal with a fork.

She could be such a great heel if they book her correctly. You could build her up as this delusional, chicken shit heel and have Becky Lynch make her big return and squash her like a bug. People would love it

Still think it's a mistake for Doudrop to be annoyed by her already. Give people time to invest in her before the face turn. As it is, fans don't even know her, so why should they give a shit.
The way I would do it is I would have doudrop actually be ecstatic that she's getting wins for Eva. Then, in time Eva starts to act a little meaner towards doudrop, thus gaining the fans sympathy. Meanwhile, Eva is untouchable, having been saved from every match or beatdown by doudrop. And the fans just get more incensed. It all builds up to when doudrop finally turns on Eva, and pays it off by beating the ever living shit out of her. You've just made Piper Niven a star. |

Because it's being written by people who don't even know who the champion is when they get hired.

Quick turn for quick return to live crowds. Think they're saving the beat down pop for a live crowd.
Also believe it will be Lynch who will be the "feud" to beat her ass, it just makes too much sense. |

The “lackey turns on the heel” angle has been played out a lot over the years, largely because it works (remember when it looked as if Alex Riley was going to be something?) so I understand why they’d try something a little different, but it does seem at the minute like it’s the standard storyline in fast-forward. I’m willing to give it some time.
It’d maybe be a little bit more nuanced if the commentators acknowledged who Doudrop actually is rather than pretending she’s this completely unknown entity. You can have Piper completely besotted with Eva, convincing herself that it’s a loving pet name, and everybody else be like “that’s Piper Niven, 13 year veteran who’s wrestled all over the world”.

How long till they have her face off with Nia Jax and dub it the Unstoppable Force vs the Immovable Object 2.0?
Sounds shitty to say, but it's gonna happen. |

WWE has done a wonderful job of humbling Ricochet. I pity the miserable smarks who were salivating because he did some flippy shit on the independent circuit. But when it came to swimming with the sharks on RAW, he floundered and got exposed. He's better off doing flippy shit on Tony the Tiger's shitty bingo hall promotion.

I think there's a very big difference between your average flippy shit and what Riccochet does. Granted the Ospreay match was dumb nonsense, but in general I enjoy their work otherwise, because they're better at that style than pretty much anyone else out there right now.

I`m also glad that Ricochet is forced to work like the "big boys" and do the same exact insanely boring style as every1 else in WWE

I haven't seen him much on the main roster but remember not liking him very much on NXT.... don't like guys who come off like all their moves/matches are "rehearsed"/"carefully choreographed"

Guys with excelleny ring skills but shit talking skills are great for the midcard. See, Cesaro, Malenko, Mysterio, etc. Even taking into account that his limited mic ability would prevent him from being a top guy, he still could have been utilized far better. There's a place for people like Ricochet, and it's not at the bottom.
