I really really hope if Nakamura shows up tonight, that he isnt given some stupid gimmic and tossed aside cause Vince thinks Japanese wrestlers shouldnt get titles and should always be given the Funaki treatment. Where have you been for the last few years of 'Triple H protects his boys when they go to the main roster'? True but I still worry, until I see someone from japan who wasnt wasted on mid card and lower with the belt, Ill keep worrying Inoki only half counts cause his reign i dont think is recognized or is it now? Think they still have Backlund as one reign in that time period. Yokozuna wasnt from Japan either.

Already the Finn Balor character is booked to look weak. He vacates the belt, never losing it, so naturally, he would return to claim it? Nope. Not even when the entire arena chants for him, he sits quietly in the locker room, failing to challenge the beast for the belt he never lost. Instead he comes out for a tag team match, only after Jericho has been knocked out of his match.
Not a good return.
Now I personally think he should be in 205 live, and not near the Heavyweight title, but if they are going to book him as a top guy, then he needed to go after his title. Now he looks afraid of Brock, and Reigns, who he beat. But now he is gonna let Reigns go after his belt? Makes no sense based on previous events.
And does KO get his rematch for the Universal Title or no?

Speaking of being booked to look weak, how about Strowman? Loses the Andre Battle Royal on Sunday and then backs off from Lesnar last night. Creative really really needs to make decisions and then stick with them. 2 weeks ago, the dude is an unstoppable monster and last night he crapped his pants when the Universal title was laid on the ground in front of him? So frustrating as a fan to watch this crap. Literally thought the best part of the show was...Roman Reigns!?!? Thought that was the best booking of him in years. Now next week, he'll probably go out and apologize for beating Undertaker because creative will decide he should look sympathetic. Just awful.

I enjoyed the Reigns opening of RAW and also the Hardy Boys winning their title defense...

From a logic standpoint, Balor going after the Universal title makes perfect sense. From an actual execution standpoint, there's no way I want to see Balor vs. Lesnar because there's no way to expect the WWE to book the match competitively. Not saying they should or shouldn't be like that, that's just how it is.
The WM match with Goldberg was enjoyable, but generally I've found Suplex City Brock to be a crashing bore, and that he was much more interesting when he was having competitive matches. His high point was the Punk match at SummerSlam, a match where Punk actually believably had him on the ropes (despite the size and athletic disparity) for awhile. If they want to run something like Brock vs. Owens I hope, vainly, that they run it more like that.

His first feud looks like it's gonna be with Miz. Pretty much the perfect guy to use to introduce him to the main roster.

They ran Brock/Owens on a house show the week after Owens lost to Goldberg and it was pretty much Brock throwing him around. Honestly, I'm not bored of watching Brock huck people around with suplexes.

I personally hope Finn Balor goes to Smackdown, I think he will get better matches and a chance to shine.
I know there are guys like DZ who try to gimmick themselves after Shawn Michaels, but I think AJ has a good shot at replacing him as Mr. Wrestlemania based on performance wise of stellar matches.
