WWE&#8217;s Irresistible Force, Nia Jax has been on a roll since breaking SmackDown Women&#8217;s Champion Becky Lynch&#8216;s face during the invasion segment on the Survivor Series go-home edition of Monday Night RAW.
This resulted in Jax facing <a href="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/news/sasha-banks-seemingly-confirms-that-nia-jax-has-backstage-heat-in-wwe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">backstage heat</a> as confirmed by fellow Women&#8217;s Division Superstar Sasha Banks. Nia had already been facing issues backstage for recently injuring a few opponents in the ring and Lynch&#8217;s injury added enough fuel to keep the fire alive, so much so that WWE decided to establish the Samoan wrestler as an ardent heel.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7797&#8243;]
Nia is currently enjoying an alliance with Tamina who she shares a family tree with. The two dominant powerhouses have put the entire RAW Women&#8217;s Division on lock including RAW Women&#8217;s Champion Ronda Rousey.
Ronda has been a thorough babyface but Jax has been facing issues with her persona ever since her debut on the main roster. Oftentimes fans were confused about whether she is a face or a heel, leading WWE to feud Jax with the forever-heel Alexa Bliss to clear the air. However, despite capturing the RAW Women&#8217;s Championship at WrestleMania 34, Nia&#8217;s face persona faded as she challenged Rousey for a match.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7795&#8243;]
In September Jax made her in-ring return as a babyface but turned heel after accidentally breaking Becky&#8217;s face. And the injury, in disguise, has apparently brought the solution to Jax&#8217;s long-standing persona problem.
Jax&#8217;s in-ring prowess is unmatched and many relate her to ex-WWE Superstar Kharma, thus giving her enough ground to establish herself as the most dominant pound-for-pound female heel in The Modern Era.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7792&#8243;]
Post-Survivor Series, Nia has been constantly bringing up her right fist high in the air to rant how she is the &#8220;Facebreaker&#8221; of the women&#8217;s locker room. This week&#8217;s episode of Monday Night RAW was no different, however, her non-stop rants were cut short by Rousey.
It&#8217;s pretty evident that the Irresistible Force will be walking into WrestleMania 35 as a heel as WWE looks to capitalize on her current character. What happens post-April 7, 2019 is unknown, but Jax along with heel Tamina is already riding high to give enough nightmares to the female babyfaces on RAW for the next 5 months heading into WrestleMania.

Why Nia Jax Could Be The Next Big Heel In WWE’s Women’s Division

From holding WrestleMania-like matches on Monday Night RAW to the end of Asuka&#8217;s undefeated streak to Shinsuke Nakamura&#8217;s heel turn to making changes in its Pay-Per-View schedule, WWE has become habituated to making bold decisions that could affect the company in the coming years. However, as this year rolls into 2019, WWE should keep adding fuel to the fire; continue making daring moves that would affect its programming, the Superstars, the fans and the brand itself as a whole.
With the rival promotions giving cut-throat competition to Vince McMahon and his company, here are 5 bold and tough decisions WWE needs to take that would change the course of it&#8217;s business for years to come.
<h2>Roman Reigns Turns Heel</h2>
<img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i.imgur.com/59tjUNX.jpg" />
Roman Reigns might be in the top ranks regarding WWE merchandise sales, but let&#8217;s be real for a second. He isn&#8217;t (yet) Stone Cold Steve Austin who holds the feat of selling 12 million t-shirts in 1998 alone. Neither is Reigns on the same pedestal of Hulk Hogan or John Cena. Guess what, The Big Dog isn&#8217;t even at par with AJ Styles in the merchandise business.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
That brings us to the million-dollar question: &#8220;Why hasn&#8217;t WWE still turned Roman Reigns heel?&#8221;
It would be justified if Reigns was moving business on the level of Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan or John Cena as a babyface and turning him heel would be too much of a risk for WWE. But with Reigns getting booed in every arena he shows up at and more fans turning against him with each passing day, the chances of The Big Dog making big merchandise figures goes further south.
At this point, fans along with a few WWE legends favor Roman Reigns turning heel. It&#8217;s time that CEO Vince McMahon listens to the fans and gives them what they want. It&#8217;s no secret that WWE is heavily focused on building up its brand instead of building individual Superstars. Fans don&#8217;t like Reigns, so turning him heel won&#8217;t hurt WWE&#8217;s business in a significant way.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;4959&#8243;]
The best part? A heel Reigns could reinvigorate WWE&#8217;s staggering programming, create other top babyfaces and eventually transition back to a babyface role in the future. You could bet that fans would accept him as a babyface at that time in comparison to how he is received by the WWE Universe at present.

<h2>Sign Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks</h2>
<img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i.imgur.com/es8yRpV.jpg" />
The current ROH and NJPW contracts of Kenny Omega expire in January 2019 while that of Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks expire at the end of 2018. WWE is very much aware of this and would offer gigantic deals to all three stars. Vince McMahon regrets for releasing Omega and Cody back in the day and now with more money in the bank (thanks to the new RAW and SmackDown television deals), the CEO wants to set the score straight. Although Omega doesn&#8217;t seem quite interested in making the move, The Young Bucks had recently teased a &#8220;never say never&#8221; response when asked about making the potential jump.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
The Young Bucks have taken the pro-wrestling industry to the next level with their sensational in-ring action, incredible merchandise empire and massive drawing power on the independent scene. At Wrestle Kingdom 12, Kenny Omega proved that he can take business and figures to the next level. The Elite (Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks) have eye-popping merchandise sales as part of Bullet Club. The fact that The Elite and Cody were able to sell out a 10,000 sea-arena all by themselves in under 30 minutes proves that all of them have over-the-top drawing power which makes them the hottest non-WWE stars on the planet today.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;4959&#8243;]
It remains a mystery whether the drawing power would remain the same if Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks and Cody made their move to WWE, but they could definitely revolutionize WWE in the same way they have revolutionized pro-wrestling, which would in turn be one hell of a milestone for Vince McMahon.

<h2>Farewell Brock Lesnar</h2>
<img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i.imgur.com/KO3LC3G.jpg" />
Brock Lesnar has long held WWE &#8220;hostage&#8221; and has played WWE like a fiddle to extract what he wants (mainly more money and then top matches/championship shots). With Lesnar&#8217;s UFC Heavyweight Championship match with Daniel Cormier confirmed for anytime after early January, 2019, it appears that WWE needs to finally move on from The Beast. Brock is hardly around, a part-time Universal Champion and doesn&#8217;t even defend the title on a regular basis.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
The Beast&#8217;s longest seemingly never-ending Universal Championship reign has affected the main roster in a negative way and WWE should move on and let him go to UFC once and for all for good.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;4959&#8243;]
For the record, Lesnar hasn&#8217;t even made any difference in boosting viewership or WWE Network subscriptions. With WWE now focused on building its brand and the era of individual stars/top-draws coming to an end, it&#8217;s time that Vince McMahon finally closes the door on Lesnar once and for all.

<h2>An Exclusive All-Women Show</h2>
<img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i.imgur.com/8N1sOrH.jpg" />
Last year at a technology conference, Paul &#8220;Triple H&#8221; Levesque said that women&#8217;s TV segments are often the highest-rated segments across the board on a week-to-week basis. WWE&#8217;s women&#8217;s division is better, stronger and robust than ever and with the highly acclaimed &#8220;Women&#8217;s Revolution&#8221;, its time that WWE created an exclusive all-women show. Even the Cruiserweight division has its own show, 205 Live, and one could certainly argue that the women&#8217;s division has more star power, top-draws and box-office attractions than the 205 Live does or ever will.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
WWE&#8217;s current Women&#8217;s Locker Room is star-studded ranging from icons like Stephanie McMahon to Charlotte Flair to Paige to The Bella Twins to the most famous and dangerous female athlete, Ronda Rousey. Even though most of these legitimate female wrestlers generate more merchandise sales and better YouTube viewership than their male counterparts, they are featured less than most top male Superstars are.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;4959&#8243;]
Taking into account how some of WWE&#8217;s female Superstars have become pop-culture celebrities (such as The Bella Twins and Maryse), Triple H himself had revealed that they generate strong viewership, its high time that WWE had an all-women show. It could be a weekly women&#8217;s show like 205 Live or at least an all-women PPV on the WWE Network which would potentially turn the female talent into much bigger stars than they currently are.

<h2>WrestleMania Bids Goodbye to WWE Network</h2>
<img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/J3LapZr.jpg" />
According to <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/2018/05/26/wwe-open-idea-wrestlemania-broadcast-television/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ringside News</a>, WWE is &#8220;open to the idea&#8221; of potentially broadcasting WrestleMania on TV instead of keeping it a WWE Network exclusive. The idea is to showcase WrestleMania for open bidding to treat it as a giant pop-culture event much like the Super Bowl.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
Today WrestleMania stands as a brand worth $195 million as per Forbes and with it&#8217;s recent $2 billion TV deals for RAW and SmackDown, WWE aims to escalate television right fees to turn WrestleMania into a hot product for TV Networks.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;4959&#8243;]
WrestleMania 34 was watched by 2.1 million+ subscribers on the WWE Network and the total number of viewers exceeds the subscribers count by a wide margin. WWE can make huge chunks of money just from advertisements during the broadcast of WrestleMania if the show aired on giant networks like NBC or FOX. The bottomline: WrestleMania can prove to be a much bigger goldmine than it currently is, if it&#8217;s taken off the WWE Network.

5 Bold Moves That Would Change The Course Of WWE

WWE Extreme Rules 2018 will air live from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPG_Paints_Arena" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh</a>, PA on July 15, 2018 and will feature top Superstars from RAW and SmackDown compete for the top prize. With only a few days to go, this year’s Extreme Rules doesn’t have many “extreme” stipulations with just one out of nine matches having a stipulation attached to it.
However, the <a href="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/news/updated-wwe-extreme-rules-2018-match-card/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">match card</a> is packed with big names from both brands and brings robust action to the table with “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles defending the WWE Championship against the “Bulgarian Brute” Rusev, Dolph Ziggler defending the Intercontinental Championship against Seth Rollins in a 30-Minute Iron Man Match, Roman Reigns squaring off against Bobby Lashley and many more. Even Ronda Rousey, who is currently serving her 30-day suspension, will be present in the audience.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
The following are 5 bold booking decisions that WWE could make for Sunday’s Pay-Per-View:
<h2>Team Hell No Loses</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6928" src="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no.jpg" alt="hell no" width="800" height="500" srcset="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no.jpg 800w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no-300x188.jpg 300w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no-768x480.jpg 768w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no-364x228.jpg 364w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no-758x474.jpg 758w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no-608x380.jpg 608w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no-313x196.jpg 313w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no-77x48.jpg 77w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/hell-no-154x96.jpg 154w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" />
Kane returned to SmackDown and saved Bryan from SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Bludgeon Brothers. Following their union, Team Hell No rightfully became the #1 Contenders for the tag team titles by defeating The Usos. However, Extreme Rules might not be the ideal platform for Kane and Bryan to be crowned the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;4959&#8243;]
SummerSlam is one of the biggest Pay-Per-Views on WWE’s calendar and emotions are generally better felt when a superstar wins the gold at one of the top PPVs. WWE could play an angle where Sanity would possibly interfere in the Team Hell No vs. The Bludgeon Brothers match-up and cost Kane-Bryan the tag titles. This would essentially go in WWE’s favor as fans would cough up enough dough to see Team Hell No get their championship rematch and finally win the tag team gold, thereby generating a sold out SummerSlam PPV.

<h2>Carmella Retains SmackDown Women’s Championship</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6930" src="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-1024x576.jpg" alt="carmella-womens-championship" width="662" height="372" srcset="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-192x108.jpg 192w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-384x216.jpg 384w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-364x205.jpg 364w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-728x410.jpg 728w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-561x316.jpg 561w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-1122x631.jpg 1122w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-758x426.jpg 758w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-608x342.jpg 608w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-1152x648.jpg 1152w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-313x176.jpg 313w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-85x48.jpg 85w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship-171x96.jpg 171w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/carmella-womens-championship.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px" />
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
Things between Asuka and Carmella got deeply personal when James Ellsworth returned and cost The Empress of Tomorrow her title shot at Money In The Bank. Asuka has been struggling on the main roster ever since Charlotte broke Asuka’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania 34. Ellsworth has brought that missing fire to the feud and General Manager Paige has been playing out with him as well. Given her in-ring skills, it’s impossible for Carmella to retain the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Asuka at Extreme Rules.
Ellsworth has still much left to play in the storyline and fans will pour in more money to see Ellsworth interfere than to see Asuka win the gold. Again, holding off Asuka’s championship victory for SummerSlam would prove beneficial in generating a cash-rich PPV in August.

<h2>Bobby Lashley Causes Upset</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6931" src="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-1024x576.jpg" alt="bobby-lashley-roman-reigns" width="662" height="372" srcset="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-192x108.jpg 192w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-384x216.jpg 384w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-364x205.jpg 364w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-728x410.jpg 728w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-561x316.jpg 561w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-1122x631.jpg 1122w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-758x426.jpg 758w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-608x342.jpg 608w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-1152x648.jpg 1152w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-313x176.jpg 313w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-85x48.jpg 85w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns-171x96.jpg 171w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bobby-lashley-roman-reigns.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px" />
It is likely that Roman Reigns will emerge victorious over “The Dominator” Bobby Lashley when they square off for the first time at Extreme Rules. It’s no secret that WWE has been planning for a Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns WrestleMania 35 rematch for SummerSlam, this time with The Big Dog walking out as Universal Champion. Despite Reigns being booed in every arena he shows up at, Vince McMahon can’t really turn his eyes away from him. Roman is a naturally tailored villain but WWE is strictly against the recent idea of fans and legends suggesting a heel turn for Reigns, in fear of a significant drop in merchandise sales.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
The current idea is to portray Universal Champion Brock Lesnar as the villain and the Creative is trying it’s very best to carve out ideas to get the crowd sympathetic towards Reigns and stand in his corner. However, with fans not willing to see another Lesnar vs. Reigns matchup, handing Lashley the victory at Extreme Rules and adding him to the title feud at SummerSlam along with Reigns and Lesnar will smoothen the rough edges at least to some extent.

<h2>Ziggler The Iron Man</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6932" src="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-1024x576.jpg" alt="dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins" width="662" height="372" srcset="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-192x108.jpg 192w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-384x216.jpg 384w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-364x205.jpg 364w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-728x410.jpg 728w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-561x316.jpg 561w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-1122x631.jpg 1122w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-758x426.jpg 758w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-608x342.jpg 608w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-1152x648.jpg 1152w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-313x176.jpg 313w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-85x48.jpg 85w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins-171x96.jpg 171w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dolph-ziggler-seth-rollins.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px" />
[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
Dolph Ziggler has been having a hell of a time ever since he defeated Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship. With Drew McIntyre in his corner, Ziggler has the Intercontinental title well protected around his waist. Although “iron man” is synonymous with Seth Rollins, that might not be the case this time with the number’s game being heavy on The Kingslayer.
Rollins desperately needs someone in his corner to even the odds and at Extreme Rules, it is likely that Ziggler will retain the title with McIntyre’s aid in the 30-Minute Iron Man Match. That of course will lay the seeds for the much-anticipated return of Dean Ambrose at SummerSlam. With Ambrose in Seth’s corner, the number’s game will be equalized.

[adace-ad id=&#8221;3395&#8243;]
It’s time that Rusev parts ways with Aiden English. AJ Styles has been carrying the WWE Championship for a long time now and has grown stale. The WWE Championship needs some fresh talent to add spark to SmackDown Live. Rusev didn’t help English after Styles punched him after Rusev emerged victorious in the Gauntlet Match. The chances could not be any higher for Rusev losing his first WWE Championship match with his ally English costing him the title shot. Whether intentionally or not, English will cost Rusev the title match at Extreme Rules to finally turn the Lion of Bulgaria babyface, heading into SummerSlam.

5 Bold Booking Decisions WWE Could Make For Extreme Rules 2018

Now that WrestleMania has come and gone and we know that Brock Lesnar has re-signed with the WWE, it is only natural to start thinking about what is going to happen in the year ahead.
A huge part of the build up to the WrestleMania main event between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar was Roman calling out Brock for being a part timer. Not only did this happen on WWE TV, it was something he was very vocal about in interviews outside of the WWE as well and to be honest he does have a point.
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="gU1RxhTB71E"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Roman Reigns lays into absent, “entitled” Brock Lesnar: Raw, Feb. 26, 2018" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gU1RxhTB71E?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h2>Having A Part Timer As Champion </h2>
Wrestling is a form of entertainment like no other, not many other forms of entertainment have as many characters as wrestling does and when we find one that really connects with us it creates a bond that is pretty much unbreakable. Even when they are gone, we want them to come back.
If we are looking at the current product as an example, look no further than The Rock. Whenever he has come back to the WWE in the last five years or so, it has always been in a very prominent spot and to be fair to him, he has appeared more than most of us thought he would, but no matter if it is John Cena or CM Punk, The Rock is a part time super star and even when he was the WWE Champion, you knew there was no way in hell that he was going to be defending that title in the 3,000 seat arena somewhere in the Midwest or on an international tour. The same can be said for Brock Lesnar and that was Roman Reigns&#8217; point and while Reigns is not the most popular guy in the wrestling world, the effort he puts in and the miles he travels to entertain the fans cannot be understated.
Before WrestleMania, Roman Reigns did an interview with <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/04/04/roman-reigns-brock-lesnar-beef-not-all-about-wrestlemania/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Post</a> and he said this,
<blockquote>“Whenever you have a champion who is on every single live event, every single house show, every single appearance that’s scheduled, it changes numbers,”
&#8220;It’s true. I’ve seen it before. The tour we had after I beat Triple H in Dallas, the numbers didn’t lie and it’s not going to be any different [this time].”</blockquote>
No doubt having the actual WWE Champion on a house show is going to make that show seem more appealing to fans and families. If you look at Goldberg when he first came into the WWE in 2003, Bruce Prichard on his podcast, Something To Wrestle said that they did not put the title on him right away as he would not be working the international tour and they wanted the champion on the tour. These days though, it is perfectly acceptable to have your WWE Champion only appear on every other RAW and hardly any house shows.
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="2ff6LxpfVAo"><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Rock confronts Rusev: Raw, Oct. 6, 2014" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2ff6LxpfVAo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>The Positive Effect of Part Timers</h3>
There is no denying that when you are watching RAW and you hear “If You Smelllllll” you jump out of your seat and get excited. It is the same whenever one of the old guard show up, it is exciting! A part timer can give the WWE a real boost, maybe just for one episode of RAW to try and spike a rating or maybe over a few weeks leading up to a PPV match. There is no denying that having a wrestler with the star power like The Rock is going to be a big deal. Without a doubt when The Rock was on the posters for WrestleMania 28 and 29, there would have been far more mainstream interest than if it was, say John Cena vs Triple H or John Cena vs Roman Reigns.
You could even look at a wrestler like Chris Jericho, you could argue that over the last few years he has been a part timer. However, Chris Jericho will come in for a few months at a time, work his butt off and make sure he puts someone over on the way out when he leaves for a few months. Chris Jericho is a great example of how to use someone who is not going to be there for a consistent 12 months at a time.
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="9rEdeJMhkxI"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Chris Jericho interrupts The New Day: Raw, January 4, 2016" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9rEdeJMhkxI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<h3>One And Done Appearances</h3>
One of the things that the WWE has loved to do over the last few years is have legends come back for one off appearances on RAW. People like the NWO, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin are never overused and they can help pop a rating on RAW if they are announced beforehand. Even all these years later, you can guarantee that if Stone Cold Steve Austin is making an appearance on RAW that he is going to get the loudest pop of the night. The reason is us wrestling fans love our favorites and while many of us still love the current product, there is nothing cooler than when a Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels or maybe even in 2018, a Hulk Hogan make a surprise appearance.
The key word there, of course, is appearance, showing up for just one night and giving the TV rating a bit of a boost and the fans a warm and fuzzy feeling is great and is something that will hopefully never go away. These kind of appearances that do not take up a ton of TV time and lead to a quick and rushed match at a PPV are something most fans can get right behind.

<h3>So, Are Part Timers Hurting The WWE?</h3>
The last “megastar” that the WWE created was John Cena and that was over a decade ago. There have been some great performers, Edge, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho and Batista to name a few, but none have been as “huge” as John Cena. You could argue that the WWE wanting to keep going back to the well of The Rock, Brock Lesnar and those big names of the past is stifling their creativity to get a new guy to that next level.
When you really look at it, you would have to say that there is nothing wrong with a nostalgia act if it is done in the right way, but having a part timer as your champion, having a part timer who is not making most of the towns and having a part timer be a main event star, who hardly ever appears in the main event of RAW is very strange and it has to affect peoples interest in the product. Imagine telling a casual or lapsed wrestling fan when they ask who the champion is that the champion is Brock Lesnar, but he hardly ever is on RAW! It sounds weird, but that is because it is.
Going back to Chris Jericho, this is a perfect example of how you can use a guy who is not going to be there all year to his full potential. He comes in, works hard and he makes sure that the guy he is working with goes over when he leaves.  He is a great example of how a part timer can be a positive effect on the WWE, Brock Lesnar….. him not so much.

Are Part-Timers Hurting The WWE?

<h3>Will There Be A Match?</h3>
While many of us were excited about the idea of Undertaker coming back for another WrestleMania showdown with John Cena, at this week’s go home episode of <a href="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/reviews/wwe-monday-night-raw-results-review-april-2nd-2018/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monday Night RAW</a>, Undertaker once again never appeared to answer John Cena’s challenge.
This is one of the most interesting setups for a WrestleMania match in years and it shows how much confidence the WWE has in the show that they feel they do not actually have to advertise this match.
While nothing is certain in wrestling, the smart money is Undertaker making an appearance this Sunday in New Orleans. If it will be a match, a fight or just a showdown is not known yet, but the major speculation for quite some time now is that when Undertaker does come back he will be The American Badass.
From 2000 until 2003, Undertaker breathed life into his character as he became The American Badass. On the Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard podcast, he mentioned that Undertaker thought he was going to stay as The American Badass forever, but that was never Vince McMahon&#8217;s plans.
One of the coolest things about The American Badass incarnation of The Undertaker was the way he was able to get his personality to shine through. You could also argue that as well as changing the character, he also changed up his move set a bit. While some wrestling fans were not super into The American Badass, there were many who were and who have wanted to see Undertaker fly down the aisle on his bike once again.
&nbsp;
<h3>I’m An American Badass!</h3>
Undertaker returned to the WWE after a short hiatus at the end of 1999 during the Judgement Day 2000 PPV, he interfered in the iron man match between The Rock and Triple H. Fans went nuts with the “Are You Scared?” and the Kid Rock American Badass entrance music, not to mention the bike. He had a long back coat and there was no mistaking that this was The Undertaker.
Fans bought into this new Undertaker really quickly and he was super over with the fans. Forming The Brothers Of Destruction with Kane and having a real tear the house down kind of match with Triple H at WrestleMania 17. He even turned heel and won another WWE Championship.
Then in 2003, he took some time off, not returning until WrestleMania 20 where he was once again the Dead Man and while he was the Dead Man version of The Undertaker, there is no denying that he looked like a real badass when he was standing at the top of the ramp.
<h5>The Undertaker returns as The American Badass: Judgment Day, May 21, 2000</h5>
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video">
<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-4163-1" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://cdn1.wwe.com/hd_video1/wwe/2012/20000521_jday_hhh_rock/20000521_jday_hhh_rock_768x432.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://cdn1.wwe.com/hd_video1/wwe/2012/20000521_jday_hhh_rock/20000521_jday_hhh_rock_768x432.mp4">https://cdn1.wwe.com/hd_video1/wwe/2012/20000521_jday_hhh_rock/20000521_jday_hhh_rock_768x432.mp4</a></video></div>
<h5></h5>
<h3>A Long Dead Run</h3>
So from 2004 all the way until last year’s WrestleMania in 2017, we had the same kind of Undertaker. This was the longest he went without reinventing his character. While he never changed the character, you could argue that during 2006 to 2010, we saw some of the best in ring work of his career.
While the matches had improved, some fans felt that Undertaker was getting a little stale and even as long as five years ago, some folks wanted the return of The American Badass and it was certainly a rumor that would often pop up.
&nbsp;
<h3>One Last Ride…. On A Bike</h3>
We all know that father time is coming for Undertaker’s career and it does suck. Him getting one last send off in a match against John Cena at WrestleMania where he gets to be the character that he thought he would always be, back in 2000, would be a real fitting end for The Undertaker.
The way that the WWE has handled this whole John Cena vs Undertaker scenario is very interesting and one of the most intriguing subplots of this year’s WrestleMania. One thing that is for sure is that many fans will be very excited to see The Undertaker. With Kid Rock getting inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, having him play The Undertaker to the ring with, American Badass would be a real WrestleMania moment.

Are You Scared? Why The Time Is Right For The Return Of The American Badass

If you are a wrestling fan (and as you are reading this you clearly are) one name that you would have heard pop up time and time again the last week is Hulk Hogan.
Hulk Hogan has found himself kept at arm’s length from the WWE ever since his horrible remarks he made on that infamous tape were leaked. Look, we all know what he said was wrong, but many people say things that are inappropriate, not nice and just plain awful when they are behind closed doors and with people, they feel they can trust. This is not to excuse Hulk Hogan’s remarks at all, but it is not as cut and dry that he is a racist like some people were saying.
Mick Foley hit the nail on the head when this first went down when he said “He’s a very good person, who made a very bad mistake” and that is what it was &#8211; a mistake, something many other people, wrestlers included have done. Mike Tyson was welcomed into the WWE and the Hall Of Fame despite serving time for rape, Stone Cold Steve Austin was arrested for domestic violence and you could argue that no one gets a bigger pop than him when he comes back.
Yet for some reason, Hulk Hogan was blacklisted and his name seemed like it would never be mentioned again. Well, that was 2015 and now in 2018, with WrestleMania here and many people are talking about Hulk Hogan showing up. Not only that, another rumor that appears to be picking up steam is <a href="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/news/hulk-hogan-finally-returning-to-wwe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">replacing Daniel Bryan</a> as the Smackdown Live general manager!
Mark Henry has said that he feels that Hulk Hogan needs to apologize to all of the black wrestlers in the WWE, but Hulk Hogan responded to that and said that he feels he needs to apologize to all the wrestlers. No one can excuse what Hulk Hogan said, but the man has clearly learned from his mistakes and seems in a good place in his life. It would be a damn shame for one of, if not the most iconic name in wrestling history was never again part of the WWE.
While Triple H, Vince McMahon, and the locker room may be in favor of bringing the Hulkster back, it is the sponsors of the WWE who may ultimately decide his fate. Snickers have already flexed their sponsorship money by getting the name of the Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal changed so WWE would have to make sure that the sponsors would not mind that they were bringing Hulk Hogan back to the WWE.
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="YltvOXw0Lvg"><iframe loading="lazy" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YltvOXw0Lvg?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

Is The Door To The WWE Open For Hulk Hogan?

The 2018 WWE Hall Of Fame Class is pretty stacked. Goldberg, Jeff Jarrett, The Dudley Boyz, Mark Henry, Hillbilly Jim, and Ivory are the WWE Superstars to be <a href="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/news/celebrity-inductee-for-2018-wwe-hall-of-fame-announced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inducted</a>. Already the WWE Hall Of Fame has many of the biggest stars of all time. Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect, Ted Dibiase and many more, but there are some wrestlers who many are shocked are not currently in the WWE Hall Of Fame.
Let’s start by saying “we get it” you cannot induct every big name under the sun in one year or you are shortchanging yourself for future Hall Of Fame events. For example, it would be insane for the WWE to induct The Rock and The Undertaker in the same year, two guys who are certainly future Hall Of Famers, but also two guys who will be the main inductee of whatever the respective year they eventually go in.
Planning a Hall Of Fame class is far harder than many of us fans realize. For example, any wrestling fan can rattle off a bunch of deserving names off the top of their head without thinking. British Bulldog, Vader, Chyna, Bam Bam Bigelow, Owen Hart, Miss Elizabeth, Sable and many more. Each fan has wrestlers that they personally feel that should be in the WWE Hall Of Fame and then there is a list like the one we just did that features wrestlers and personalities that all contributed to the WWE in a major way.
&nbsp;
<h3>Wrestlers Who Are Still With Us </h3>
It is not just a case of looking at a performers career and saying that they main evented various shows, had lots of great matches, sold a ton of merchandise. There has to be a lot more thought put into it than that. If the wrestler in question is still alive they can deal with them directly, but what if there are “personal issues” that could prevent them from being put into the WWE Hall Of Fame. We are talking issues with their personal life that could shine a negative light on the WWE. It is harsh to wipe away a performer&#8217;s contributions to the WWE because of something they have done in their personal life, but from the WWE’s point of view, it is understandable as it is a PR nightmare, just look at the Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal.
Also just because the wrestler is alive, it does not mean that they are on good terms with the WWE. Triple H has done a great job in mending some bridges that many felt were forever burnt, Ultimate Warrior (passed away days after being inducted) and Bruno Sammartino for example. But it can be tough when there is a lot of baggage that has built up over the years to come to an agreement and for everyone to move on.

&nbsp;
<h3>Wrestlers Who Have Sadly Passed Away </h3>
What if the wrestler in question has passed away? British Bulldog and Owen Hart are two guys that 100 percent of wrestling fans surely would agree deserve to be in the WWE Hall Of Fame. Owen Hart’s wife clearly does not want anything to do with the WWE, but who knows maybe one day his kids would love to see their dads legacy celebrated? British Bulldog is a very strange one as he went back to the WWE in the late 90’s and he is a wrestler that you never really hear anyone say a bad word about, plus his son Harry, performed in the WWE for a few years too.
<figure id="attachment_3771" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3771" style="width: 785px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3771 size-full" src="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart.jpg" alt="British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart" width="785" height="450" srcset="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart.jpg 785w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart-300x172.jpg 300w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart-768x440.jpg 768w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart-364x209.jpg 364w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart-758x435.jpg 758w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart-608x349.jpg 608w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart-313x179.jpg 313w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart-84x48.jpg 84w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/British_Bulldog_and_Owen_Hart-167x96.jpg 167w" sizes="(max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3771" class="wp-caption-text">Owen Hart (Left) &amp; British Bulldog</figcaption></figure>
Then you have someone like Chyna. Chyna accomplished so much in the WWE. She is the only female Intercontinental Champion and she had major crossover appeal during the height of her WWE career. Without a doubt, Chyna’s WWE resume could actually make her a headline attraction in a WWE Hall Of Fame class. Sadly, she had many personal problems outside of the ring and her career as an adult film star may also make the WWE nervous.
The WWE has shown that if a wrestler who has had problems in the past, Jake Roberts and Scott Hall, for example, can get clean and turn their life around, that the door can always be opened. Sadly for someone like Chyna, she passed away before she could do that so it makes things from a PR point of view so much more tricky. If the WWE though, embraced the positives, while talking about her troubles and using that as a way to show others to get help when they need it, it could be done.
While some people are a little jaded and see the WWE Hall Of Fame as nothing more than an extra special TV event that showcases legends to sell more merchandise, there are many of us who feel it is a great way to celebrate the wrestlers and personalities of the past. If they are alive it is great to see them have the spotlight shine on them once more. If they have passed away it is fantastic that their families can see how much they meant to the fans.
&nbsp;
We would love to hear your thoughts on the WWE Hall Of Fame in general and also let us know who you feel should be inducted and who you feel could also headline a WWE Hall Of Fame Class.

Thinking Out Loud About The WWE Hall Of Fame

<h3>The Background</h3>
If you are a wrestling fan then you no doubt know the story of Daniel Bryan being cut down while in the prime of his career. It is hard to think of a wrestler who was more popular with the fans than he was during his run to WrestleMania.
The fans wanted him as the main guy and while some may say they had to be taken there kicking and screaming, the WWE did eventually do this and the end result was him standing tall with both titles at the end of WrestleMania XXX.

Concussions are a horrible thing and as fans, we still remember that cage match where he looked and was acting kind of weird after taking one too many shots to the head. It is easy to understand why the WWE would not want to take the risks with a performer who has suffered multiple concussions, not just that, but other injuries as well. While it sucks as a fan to see one of your favorite guys not be able to perform. All those years of high impact moves and matches caught up with Daniel Bryan and his body needed a rest.
It is fair to say that many of us thought that he would never compete in a WWE ring again. He had been cleared by numerous doctors to return to the ring for quite some time now, but the WWE as having none of it and their own doctors still said no. This is understandable. As at the end of the day as well as Daniel Bryan’s health it is the WWE’s neck that is on the line if anything were to happen to him while he is in a WWE ring after he has been cleared by a WWE doctor.
Daniel Bryan has made it perfectly clear that he wants to return to in ring action and as many have said that his contract is up later this year. Maybe the WWE thought that it was better to roll the dice and have him performing for them rather than someone else.

<h3>Yes, Yes, Yes</h3>
Is what many of us fans were shouting at our computer or phone screens the other day when the WWE announced that <a href="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/news/daniel-bryan-officially-cleared-by-wwe-for-in-ring-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Brian had been cleared to return to in ring action</a>. It was so cool to see this, but at the same time you have to say “can’t anything be a surprise anymore?” As awesome as it is to know he is coming back, just imagine if this week on Smackdown he came down the aisle and just started kicking butt out of nowhere, the reaction would have been insane.
Speaking of insane on <a href="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/reviews/wwe-smackdown-live-results-review-march-20th-2018/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this week’s Smackdown</a>, the WWE wasted no time at all in getting him back into action as he went toe to toe with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in a segment that was incredibly well done. This went from being a feel good, “holy crap he’s still got it” kind of moment to a really brutal and dark one. The offense that he was doing (those crazy corner kicks where he nearly lands on his head!) was crazy to see and you did wince whenever he did one…. But that was nothing compared to the beat down that he suffered at the hands of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, including a rather stiff and brutal looking powerbomb on the apron.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-3625-3" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://cdn1.wwe.com/hd_video1/wwe/2018/sd970_kami_fired_032018/sd970_kami_fired_032018_768x432.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://cdn1.wwe.com/hd_video1/wwe/2018/sd970_kami_fired_032018/sd970_kami_fired_032018_768x432.mp4">https://cdn1.wwe.com/hd_video1/wwe/2018/sd970_kami_fired_032018/sd970_kami_fired_032018_768x432.mp4</a></video></div>
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are two of the best so you would have to say that for a first in ring segment for a few years, he was in safe hands. There was no denying that the fans went nuts when Daniel Bryan started to fight back and clearly people are going to be willing to get right behind him again.
&nbsp;
<h3>The Future!</h3>
So the big question, of course, is what does this mean for the WWE going forward? Well, they have to lose him as the authority figure of Smackdown, but in the immediate future, you would have to think that this is building towards a tag team match at WrestleMania that will see him team up with Shane McMahon to take on Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The only thing with this is, we only have a couple of weeks until WrestleMania so they are going to have to be very quick with the buildup.
After this match, they, of course, could have the option to have him face Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens a few more times or they might move onto something else!
On Smackdown there are some very exciting possibilities. Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles are the two that pop into mind right away. As you would think that Daniel Bryan is going to be thrown right into the main event scene, but there is one guy that Daniel Bryan has some real unfinished business with and that is The Miz.
These two had a great little feud going that really brought out the best in The Miz. Unfortunately, due to his health problems the two of them could never get physical at the time, but now that he is cleared, even with The Miz being on RAW now, this is one feud that could be a lot of fun for the fans. Give Daniel Bryan something to do and also keep him out of the WWE title picture for the time being.
While Daniel Bryan has always said that he would one day wrestle again, many of us never actually thought it would happen…. Especially inside a WWE ring so this is really cool to see.
Please share the article with the WWE Universe.

What Does Daniel Bryan Returning To The Ring Mean For The WWE?

For the kids in the 90&#8217;s, WWE on home video was the coolest thing ever. I am from the UK and we got nearly all the Coliseum Video releases, but they were sold through Silver Vision, even though they still were part of Coliseum Video.
With the WWE Network adding a lot of these releases, I wanted to have some fun and share what my favorites (so far) are from their WWE Home Video Classics Section.
&nbsp;
<h3>5. Mega Matches</h3>
I have a lot of nostalgia for this one as I remember it being heavily advertised in the WWF Magazine back in the day. One of the major highlights of this tape is the Big Boss Man vs Bobby The Brain Heenan. During this time Heenan was awesome as he made joke after joke about Bossman’s Mama. Bossman ran through the whole Heenan family, even getting his hands on Bobby himself! The profile on Randy Savage during his Macho King phase and the match with him against former King, Jim Duggan is also a lot of fun.
&nbsp;
<h3>4. WWF U.S Rampage</h3>
They released a couple of U.S Rampage tapes back in the day. The shtick of this one is Sean Mooney, Bobby Heenan and Gene Oakerland on a golf course, it is pretty entertaining stuff between the matches. Some really fun matches on here such as Mr. Perfect vs British Bulldog, Rockers, and The Big Bossman vs the Nasty Boys and the Mountie. This tape also features one of the rare Ultimate Warrior vs Undertaker matches from house shows of this era….. but it is not exactly a highlight of the tape. With a lot of short matches and the awesome comedy of The Brain, Mooney, and Oakerland, this is fun one to watch if you like early 90’s wrestling.
&nbsp;
<h3>3. Battle Royal At The Albert Hall</h3>
This is such a weird event to even exist, but I remember watching this on TV as a kid and then getting the videotape, it was a huge deal here in the UK. The whole aesthetic of this show is fantastic and unlike any other WWE show, wrestling at the Albert Hall sounds like it would never work, but it does. The main event is the Battle Royal, but there are some great matches on here Rockers vs Nasty Boys, Tito Santana vs Ric Flair and The Mountie vs Texas Tornado are all fun matches. Of course, as this is in the UK, British Bulldog wins the battle royal.
&nbsp;
<h3>2. Super Tape 92</h3>
The main reason that we all bought this tape back in the day was that it featured the matches from the WWF PPV, This Tuesday In Texas. With the return match of Undertaker vs Hulk Hogan and the very underrated match between, Jake Roberts and Randy Savage, this event is short but pretty fun. The real surprise for me is the match between Bret Hart and Skinner which is far better than you would think.
&nbsp;
<h3>1. Smack Em, Whack Em </h3>
I kid you not, as a child I watched this tape so much that it actually gave out! This tape is stacked and if you are a Bret Hart fan it is a must. Here you have the first WWE Ladder Match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Bret Hart winning the title from Ric Flair and Undertaker vs Razor Ramon are another two fun matches on this tape. As well as the spotlight on Bret Hart, Yokozuna is featured. There is a skit called cooking for the single man with Gene Oakerland and Yokozuna and it is classic early 90’s WWE!
&nbsp;
These are my favorites so far, but I cannot wait for them to add some more. What are your favorite WWE Coliseum Video releases on the WWE Network?

Eat, sleep, write about wrestling, daydream about wrestling, repeat. This is all we do here at <a href="http://api.wrestlingworld.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WrestlingWorld</a>. And we have decided that from now on, we will publicize the booking decisions that we would love to see. We ask ourselves the question: What if a PPV, an important TV episode of RAW or Smackdown, or a storyline went so perfectly that it gave us goosebumps in ways we had never thought possible? How would it be?
And why not start with a PPV that, conveniently, is tonight? Let us know what would you like to see, in the comment section below!

<h3>Carmella Carries.</h3>

Hardly anyone cares about The Princess of Staten Island anymore, even with her teases of cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase, and this is partly because of how poorly she has been booked since winning the historic (?) second-ever Money in the Bank Ladder Match. She returned to Smackdown last week after months off television, only to quickly fall under Becky Lynch’s Dis-Arm-Her.
The briefcase should signify WWE’s intention of elevating Carmella, but right now, her briefcase seems to be dragging her down. We believe Carmella’s legitimacy can still be restored, and the rebuilding process could start as early as this Sunday. Having Natalya play around with cats for the entire match and Carmella single-handedly defeat the team of Fire &amp; Glow would surely be a step in the right direction for Carmella to regain her position on Smackdown’s women roster.

<h3>NAKAMURA DAYYYYYYYYY!</h3>

At least WWE is giving Rusev a match on a PPV with the winner of the 2018 Royal Rumble. As much as we like to support RUSEV DAYYYYYY, we prefer Nakamura to overcome The Bulgarian Brute with relative ease. Ever since Nakamura won the Royal Rumble, he has not done much of worth. Proving himself a valuable asset on the Smackdown roster? No. Defeating first-rate opponent? Yes, if only The Maestro of Madness counted as one.
Simply put, Fastlane is one of Nakamura’s last chances to establish himself among the audience, as well as to AJ Styles himself that The Rockstar is a legitimate contender for the WWE Championship come ‘Mania. So, our perfect scenario would be to have Nakamura beat Rusev under 30 seconds. Rusev charges, Nakamura dodges, NAKAMURA CONNECTS WITH THE FINISHER!!! ONE! TWO! THREE! Done deal. Hard to believe? Randy Orton actually did that.

We really like seeing Bobby Roode head into WrestleMania as the United States Champion. Imagine his epic entrance, yo. Elevating platforms that take a minute to raise, and another minute to lower, a robe that would make Ric Flair jealous, and a championship being covered with glitter all over.
Speaking of glitter, we think that it is Bobby Roode’s best “weapon” of choice come Sunday. With his heelish actions in recent weeks, it would be logical for Roode to further propel his turn by pulling out a bunch of glitter from his crotch and throw it at Randy’s face when The Viper is about to strike with an RKO. Goldust would be really proud of the TNA veteran if Bobby actually did that.
And no, we do not want Jinder Mahal there. Not at least for the time being.

We like Ruby Riott, but her time is not tomorrow. She is really good in the ring, we must say, but she has not carry herself like a champion. Yet. As much as we would like to see the leader of the Riott Squad have a bounty to brag about, we think the Smackdown Women’s Championship to stay around Charlotte Flair’s waist. However, Charlotte and Ruby Riott fighting a competitive match would certainly not fall too much out of place with the performers’ respective builds the last 3-4 weeks, and it would showcase just how talented the women in the ring are. Happy belated Women’s Day, ladies. This is for Becky, Naomi, Carmella, and Natalya as well. And all the other women on the roster, too.

We ALL want to see Styles vs Nakamura for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34. One of the damn finest match-ups in the history of wrestling and it has only happened once, how crazy is that? But with 5 other competitors wanting a piece of that gold, how the match plays out is also an important factor to consider. With the caliber of wrestlers to be present in the main event (Styles, Cena, Owens, Zayn, Corbin, Ziggler), unless all of them screw up big time, it would be a very well-planned and competitive affair.
So here comes our daydreaming part. Owens and Zayn could get so pissed about each other that they fought their way to backstage and never came back (to the PPV, of course); Ziggler and Corbin could be knocked out by Styles’ finishers; and when Cena might think he has had the win by delivering a second Avalanche Attitude Adjustment to AJ, THE LIGHTS GO OUT. The lights are back on…THE UNDERTAKER! CHOKESLAM ON CENA! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER ON CENA! Styles finishes up with a Styles Clash! ONE! TWO! THREE! AJ Styles retains, and just. Styles has a chant-inducing (you know what chant) stare-down with The Deadman, looks at Cena, and then retrieves. ‘Taker looks at Cena, then kneels to do his signature “Call of Hell” pose to end the show. Per. Fect.
