Since we now know what's going to be the main event of Fast Lane, I think it's necessary to start the new thread.

Anyway on Raw this past week a match was set up after the controversial ending to the Rumble to decide who will face Reigns (who won the Title Shot Cleanly at the Rumble) at Fast Lane to decide who will face Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31 for the WWE WHC. The two wrestlers involved were Daniel Bryan (Who was eliminated cleanly in the rumble by Bray Wyatt) and Seth Rollins (who didn't enter the rumble because he had just got done with the WWE WHC Triple Threat match.)

Bryan won the match so right now the Fast Lane card looks like this for now

Reigns vs Bryan for #1 contendership for the WWE WHC at Wrestlemania
Paige vs Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship
John Cena vs Rusev for the US Championship
Triple H to address Sting at Fast Lane

Looks like Cesaro/Tyson Kidd will face The Usos for the Tag Team Titles as well. No confirmation on that though.

Dean Ambrose called out BNB, BNB did reply and said he wasn't interested in giving Ambrose a Intercontinental Title Shot on Smackdown. I still think that's being added to the card as well.

But that's not the only big event happening. This Wednesday, NXT takes over the WWE Network live on Feb 11th (This Wednesday) with a 2 hour show at 8/7c. NXT is WWE's developmental territory and since the Network will be free this month, This is the perfect time to start watching if you're not. The last live special was amazing. If you're a Ring of Honor fan, Main Event is another El Generico (Who's wrestled unmasked in NXT since his debut, goes by the name Sami Zayn) vs Kevin Steen (Goes by Kevin Owens) match. Steen just debuted in NXT, and turned heel on Sami Zayn after Zayn won the NXT Championship after months on the same night Steen made his WWETV debut.

Don't forget, Raw is coming to Des Moines March 16th, 2 weeks before WM. Dark Main Event is an 8 man tag match with Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns vs Bray Wyatt, Kane, The Big Show, and Seth Rollins. That's probably subject to change but hopefully we get at least full Wyatt entrance then since we didn't get one in September.

I don't know why I allowed myself to get sucked back in - it's the same crap over and over again. Just had to see what they were going to do with Sting. Just because kayfabe is dead doesn't mean they can't do something original.

Haven't watched in months. I listen to podcasts to keep up. I did however watch Smackdown last Thursday, and there is an opportunity to make that show the Seth Rollins show ala how it used to be the John Cena show back in the early/mid 2000's.

I'm super high on Rollins right now, I hope they don't try to make him Punk 2.0 with predictably spaced heel/face runs and just let him fully heel out and play that until the end and then push him in a Macho Man/Shawn Michaels direction. The WWE sorely needs talented people that don't require the main belt or even be in the title picture to be relevant.

God dammit I'm such a ******* dork. Shoulda never opened this thread.

Rollins may or may not need the belt, but he's nothing without his two asshats and the rest of the Authority behind him.

Rollins' push may be gone.

Apparently someone has uploaded a full frontal nude pic of him on his twitter account and then another nude pic of NXT Diva Zahra Schrieber (She looks like a tatted up Paige). Doesn't he have a fiancee? It's up there right now.

Now the Edge comparisons are going to be turned up to full blast.

I'm a big fan of heels having some type of posse with them, either in the form of a stable or a manager or a bodyguard. The art or heel manager/valet is pretty much dead right now which is disappointing.

Heyman is great but he's a mouthpiece not a proper manager.

Manager? Yes. Valet? Yes. Valet, COO, Owner's daugher, Kane, Big Show, Rusev, and others? No. That's propping someone up because they can't stand on their own.

That's a whole different problem, not necessarily a Rollins problem. Lazy creative or creative having no leeway to be creative. Most likely the latter.

Loved the opening segment where Bryan made a reference to Triple H doing something messed up in a casket.
