Maybe see where it goes? Pretty amazing that he went this far, and is again keeping them going in the media. NFL ran a story about Wendesdays “attack” which is pretty incredible.

Or rather how come nobody came out to stop the attack? When Austin went after Vince he was often arrested, or at least confronted by someone. I'm guessing that's the ruse to put Omega in an authority position... or maybe Bucks attack him as well, but I'm guessing it'll be the former.

It will be interesting to see how they continue to push new stars.

Opens up some room to introduce people like Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, and Ilja Dragunov in more of a higher profile.

They will continue to push Drew, Cody, Jey Uso, CM Punk (should be back soon), Damian Priest.

And will probably elevate guys like Owens, Solo, Finn Balor as well.

And as good as the Judgement Day has been it was getting a bit stale - this will force them to change it up now.

One thing i havent figured out with Seth, is did he have his surgery, recover for Wrestlemania and then re-injure and need surgery again? or did he kayfabe the first surgery and wrestle injured at Wrestlemania knowing he was integral to the Cody story, then finally decide to take proper time off and get the surgery done?

Either way, it is too bad the injuries are piling up, at least this might help some now stars emerge. I wonder who the next wave of main eventers will be that benefit from the extra screentime in Rhea's, Roman's and Seth's absense.

I thought that once Rhea really exploded on the scene that they would move her on from the judgement day, but her chemistry with them was undeniable.



I really do like Priest, and I've liked him more since I saw some behind the scenes interviews with them.


Dragunov is on the way up, the draft could be interesting this year. In the woman's division, Cora Jade probably would have been moved to a main roster sport if not for injury issues. I have a feeling that Roxanne Perez will make her way up in a little bit.


I really really like Tiffany Stratton as that future piece. Alexa Bliss is due to make a return, I'm a fan of Alexa and especially her mic work, but I don't think she's coming back as the impact player that she was even prior to the Bray Wyatt stuff. But she can work, and she tends to make matches interesting and she's a natural heat getting.



But with her having a family now, I doubt she's do the same work rate.

As much as I haven't really liked Seth's character that much. I've always respected his work rate, and effort, and that he's good enough at what he does to make things interesting. I also think that the Seth Punk think is part Kayfabe because both of those guys know how to build heat to make money and we'll see them collide.


But for Seth he's not getting any younger, and he's had multiple really bad knee injuries, and as much as HHH is a different guy then Vince, HHH might have trust issues with giving a guy the gall that has chronic knee issues.

Didn't they just re-sign Finn Balor? Maybe they can make him a main eventer. Sami Zayn seems like Daniel Bryan-type personality so maybe him too.

I can't really see any who can immediately step up to that slot. That's a bit of a shame.

On the heel side, i can see Gunther taking a big role going forward. I agree the Sami, and likely Jey Uso, as well as LA knight are the next crop of big babyfaces.

Man, I just do not see the appeal to Dragunov. I have really hard time seeing him get over on the main roster.
