AJ. He's heel right, coming from the club?

Yup same here. I like Dean a lot. I really wanted him to but like you thought for sure it would be either Seth or Roman. WWE honestly surprised me with this one and in a good way. I'll take Dean as champ any day.

no one to blame but himself for forcing Romaine in a role he wasn't suited for, not to mention sabotaging him with those promos and the Rumble fiasco.

Allegedly the plan before Roman got suspended was to have Reigns/Rollins for the title and AJ/Cena for a new title created for Smackdown at SummerSlam. So it looks like Reigns/Rollins will be for a new title.
Well if the belt doesn't float, Smackdown's biggest heel is AJ Styles. But he's feuding with Cena till at least Summerslam. So number 2 would be.....Bray Wyatt.
He's gonna feud with Bray Wyatt.

I don't hate big gold but I hope they try something different.
Knock off the NWA belt or something, I dunno.

Yup AJ and Bray would be my choices. Cena though sadly I wouldn't be shocked to see in the picture just because.
Hell still be in a main event role like Randy was but I doubt he will be the guy anymore
Main Event Baron Corbin With A Beanie. The real top heel.
Should be AJ
This is the bad part about Dean winning. AJ/Cena obviously isn't finished so you're basically left with Bray and Del Rio as feasible opponents right now. This is why KO should have went to Smackdown.
Reigns shouldn't be in that spot right now. He lost to both Ambrose and Rollins clean, so he doesn't deserve jack. Make it Sami v. Rollins at SS.

Haven't watched it before but really enjoying it. I also love the announces who give you very interesting history as well... A lot of mentioned of other Australian wrestlers who may not have been in the WWE, or Tajiri's feuds in ECW.

Wow AJ will actually be WWE champion :O.

That would make sense and be fresh. I like it.
Some things after this PPV:
- The Bayley hype is real and nuclear, not only some full sail smarks rants. She's gonna be huge in the main roster.
- It looks like that becky is so done for vince (i hope not)
- Big Cass is gonna grab the next brass ring
- Cesaro cant talk 5 words straight lol
- Cena really has passed the torch and the spotlight to others. He really wants to slowlly fading to a more quiet agenda.
- Ambrose as a champion dont really surprise me, if USA wants to promote smackdown, they need to promote it with the champion of the company in it. RAW doesnt need it to sell.
- Owens and Zayn are the best performers right now in the main roster. I hope they get more relevant feuds from now on.

Tajiri still showing he has it even now.

oh man this would be so good.
And conversely put Roman in a program with KO and see if Kevin can get something good out of him.

Yup. I loved watching Tajiri do his thing in ECW and even his days with WWE. Was one of the highlights of the final days of ECW. God to this day I still miss ECW. You had hardcore shit, good wrestling, serious shit, comedy. Just had a great mix of it all.
Usos about to go cry in the car.

Their expressions as they hold Renee Young's boyfriend up on their shoulders make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Coli is going to have a ball with this.
What happened to Reigns shows what happens when you put all of your eggs into one basket. It can massively backfire, and in this case it did. There are 2 other guys severely more popular than him but got a lot less of a push than Roman got. They got there naturally, he didn't. Those 2, Dean and Seth, should be the top 2 guys in the company right now.

Amazing
Maybe its just me who is more casual than anything, but I actually loved Roman's look and moveset tonight. He had a ton of power bombs, looked strong as hell.
Its beating a dead horse but he needs to move to a tweener where he is just a badass. Maybe more of a heel who doesn't talk either.

This Cruiserweight tournament match between Da Mack and TJ whoever is the perfect story-telling in a match... Lots of great moves, high work rate, TJ trying to get those submissions, and Da Mack "hurts his knee" and TJ gets the win by favoring the knee. Really intelligent match storytelling.
The Silver

looked strong? Seth made him look like a weak chump
Raw already has the better roster in all divisions (Men, Women's and Tag's), so at least Smackdown keep with the biggest title for now
But until Summerslam (or maybe at Summerslam) we will definitely see the new World HW title at Raw
Brother Uce!.... I kwew you come.
