It definitely can be done.
We'll see after the PPV how they start the build.

Subtle shot at Lesnar.

I'd feel differently if this match was at Battleground. They can build it up with Orton really getting into it with Jericho, who, presumably says he won't be able to beat Brock. Orton snaps & beats the shit out of Jericho.
They absolutely have time to build it. Orton definitely shouldn't win, don't get me wrong. But he's still the most legit challenger they could put against Brock.

I'd actually keep these guys off tv for a bit. I'd shoot interviews for both guys in the UFC shoot style like they did with Brock a couple years back. Show training vignettes. Orton realizes he's in for the fight of his life. I'd even do a weigh in segment. |

That was one hell of a segment. First time I believed in Ambrose as champion.

Really? They're doing this less than a week after the Final Deletion? Just lazy on WWE's part.
They've resorted to copying TNA.

I meant to say I'd make the weigh-in segment the first time they see each other face to face. Use Heyman for LESNAR. Do shoot type interviews with people Orton has beaten or destroyed: Christian, Batista, Triple H...did he ever beat Taker?
If they went all out on this they could build a very cool angle almost exclusively with video packages.

I don't know .... feed him Del Rio .... play up his MMA time too (was he some low-level champ?) .... move Brock away from Suplexing everyone and give it a more grappling feel .... I don't know. It just seems pointless, on top of the 'what's the benefit of going over' issue, because for a first-ever (on ppv) 'spectacle match', 13 days out neither person appears on TV to work, cut a promo, shit in a bag, whatever. I don't hate the match, I hate the booking, but that's not new for me. I'm old and hate everything anyway. It's not 13 days out. It's like six weeks. Well alright then. |

I'm a little skeptical of the New Day doing this. They've been a comedy bit stable (and an awesome one). I'm not sure how this plays out. We could all end up loving the segment, but it does look like a desperate piggyback response to TNA. |

Hi I'm Stephanie McMahon. 4 weeks ago I was neutral/face. And then randomly they made me heel again with little to no explanation.

Renee is so fucking hot.
Also why does Vince where those terrible ties?
Please oh please, would I love Mick Foley as commissioner of Smackdown.

DID YOU SEE ME GET THAT SIDE BUMP IN ON RENEE? SO THIS IS WHAT IT HAS COME TO. BUT GODDAMN PAL, DO YOU SEE THIS TIE I'M ROCKING? THIS TIE SAYS I'M IN CONTROL AND WILL FUCK YOU IN MY LIMO IF YOUR CONTRACT IS COMING UP. LOOKING AT YOU, DEL RIO.

They've been nothing but unicorns, trombones & Booty-Os for the past year. They need a shakeup.
Granted they've been building this feud for a few weeks, it just reeks of desperation on WWE's part.

My concern is can they go right back to what they were after this? Guess I just need to see this play out. |

One thing that they can do by splitting the rosters is get a little away from this 50/50 booking. It seems like that's part of the reason almost every feels like a midcarder on the show.

DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT MY MINSTREL BAND OF MERCH MOVERS, RYAN. ONE WEEK THEY'RE LOST IN A NEW ORLEANS SWAMP, THE NEXT WEEK THEY COULD BE ON SMACKDOWN PROMOTING SONIC. THIS IS WHAT ENTERTAINMENT IS. WHAT DON'T YOU GET ABOUT THIS DEAL?

I'd have New Day win this feud for sure. This would make them have a little edge to them, show they can toughen up when need be.
They absolutely shouldn't break them up & put the titles on Rowan & Strowman.
Question, would you put Harper on the same roster as the Wyatts? I'm leaning toward no. As much as I'd want Wyatt/Harper, I'd like for Harper to become a legit threat on his own instead of being a lackey all the time.

I see what you are saying but at what point do the Wyatts actually go over on someone?

I still don't like Sami Zayn. I don't dislike him. He just does nothing for me. I know he should.

YES, KEVIN, I KNOW ONE OF SHANE'S KIDS ALSO WEARS HIS SHIRT IN THE POOL. BUT HIS OLDER BROTHER WITH THE SCULPTED PHYSIQUE HAS A MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF TAKING OVER GRANDPA'S ENTERTAINMENT EMPIRE. SEE WHERE I'M GOING HERE, KEVBO?
