AJ Styles has been way better on the mic as a heel. Pretty much the only good thing about RAW for the past two weeks is the interaction between him and Cena.

Aside from AJ/Cena, it's a lame duck show. They obviously aren't doing anything major until the brand split. All good ideas (if they have some) are probably being held for that.
Although, I am suspecting a double turn with Rollins and Roman at MITB.

I'm actually enjoying the hell out of Jericho's heel run right now, especially his interactions with Owens. Both are just natural heels.

The 3 hours thing is definitely becoming a huge problem now, it just seems like they are spreading themselves so thin right now. I thought I would have been more invested in Rollins returning and feuding with Reigns but the build has been so lack luster the opening MITB segment had some funny spots and the 3 matches that proceeded were pretty good too, the Teddy Long bits were a little funny but more awkward than anything. AJ vs Cena is happening too soon IMO but I don't mind and their interaction on Raw was very intense and I loved it and how well AJ held his own against Cena on the mic for the most part.

I think there holding off any Roman/Seth in ring interaction till Money In The Bank because the last two times these two were gonna have a match they both have been injured so they dont want that to happen again.
But yea besides AJ/Cena these past two raws have been meh. But the 4 matches officially announced for MITB makes me really excited for the show.

Another fantastic NXT: Takeover event. Watching NXTs Takeover events makes me proud to be a wrestling fan. I assume there doing Joe vs Nakamura at Brooklyn, if thats the case yes please.

can somebody tell me what the difference between regular Finn Balor and Demon Finn Balor is, except for the body paint and the entrance? He doesn't wrestle any different, he doesn't pull out different moves, it doesn't make him look any stronger and now he can't even make up his losses as regular Finn with it. They always hype the shit out of "the demon" but when the music stops and the match starts he's basically the same guy. They could do so much with that demon thing but they won't, for whatever reason. They could have played off the fact that Joe beat Finn in his normal form and that it's gonna be way harder beating him in the demon stage, but it didn't look like that at all in the ring. Joe could have been wrestling any other dude that can go for 20 minutes and it would have been the same match, you know what I mean? The most impressive thing "demon Balor" ever did was kick out at 1 and then hulk up.. but even Sami Zayn did that once and it didn't take him a ton of paint, a fancy-ass entrance and a lot of hype.
I don't know, it's just something I think they should really improve on before calling him up because a main roster crowd won't play along as quick and easily as the Full Sail one. I mean, NXT can do whatever the fuck they want at this point, because everyone just eats it up anyways but still. WWE did a good job at making it seem like Undertaker's a different animal at Wrestlemanias, so I hope they can do the same for Balor and his demon appearances.

If you really believe that the main roster crowd wont grab onto fin right way you're delusional lmao.

I get what you're saying and mostly agree. There should be a more vicious streak to his wrestling on the demon shows. Sort of a Jeckel/Hyde dynamic. I also think there should be more variety to his painting and overall demon look.

If you really believe that the main roster crowd wont grab onto fin right way you're delusional lmao. well, his debut will most likely be a banger but then again, what happens after the "big debut"? If NXT can't even handle his character, how do you expect the main roster geniuses to handle it? I just hope that Vince really likes him and makes sure that the "demon" gimmick gets protected.

I always thought they would do something where the more body paint he would put on the more he would be consumed by the "demon" especially after Hideo Itami was injured last year and I noticed Finn had his back painted as well at that Takeover and just assumed that was the angle they were going for with sort of this slow burn for Finn to turn heel which would result to it being revealed that he was the one who attacked Hideo.
