I personally like Kevin Owens. Great on the mic can wrestle. Rollins I enjoy watching too. Good to see him keep winning. If it means Cena keeps away from winning 16 world titles. But you know it is going to happen soon thou.

Yeah - I rate Owens highly. So glad to see the likes of him and Cesaro given a prominent spot.

Interesting to see what happens with Cena-Rollins now.

As much as I can't stand Cena's character, he has been in some great matches to watch since he won the US title.

Has been paired up nicely with people who can get the best out of him. Watching matches like Orton and Sheamus are dead boring.

Very true - I give respect to Cena for being able to bring the best out of opponents.

Yeah - Sheamus and Orton..... I like what they have done with Sheamus character - he draws a lot of heat. But I just can't get excited about anything he is involved in. I like how they had the "almost" cash in of Money in the Bank. I think that is all he can offer at the moment.

Orton just seems to be cruising, relying on the "RKO outta nowhere" moments.

But that's all he can do at this stage Orton. He is a main eventer but really we have all seen him as champion before. The likes of owens cesaro are the exiting future we want. I really enjoy watching NXT now. Watching Brooklyn Takeover was great.

TakeOver was brilliant! Banks v Bayley was one of the best matches I've watched in a long time.

I must admit though - Take v Lesnar was better than I thought it would be. Undertaker looked in good condition.

All matches bar Sheamus v Orton and Ziggler v Rusev was good (hating the ending)

Was very surprised with the New Day, Primetime Players, Los Matardoes and Lucha Dragons match.

HHH doing some good things with NXT - reminds me of the atiitude era and ruthless aggression. Seems the results are a lot less predictable with them. The divas division is great there too.

Summerslam I have yet to watch it however everyone keeps talking about the taker v brock ending. One would assume it means a taker V brock 3 will happen. Prob in a hell in a cell match.

Definitely set up for Taker v Lesnar III!

I initially didn't like the ending, but I ended up liking it. They made it look like a "real" stuff-up. Would have been annoying if you watched live.

Talent-wise, WWE is so stacked right now. They just have to build some more consistent good storytelling, and they could be on a real upswing.

Owens is king. Brillant wrestler and can play heel or face perfectly. Cesaro just wow. Also cant wait for finn balor to get called up.

Thats due to hhh running nxt without any interference from vince. He also runs main roster but vince still has final say

You can tell with the main obviously vince getting the final say. But HHHs baby of NXT so to speak is growing and growing. Only a matter of time before it gets to be touring on its on. I don't see it as a feeder brand show where the up comers come in. This is the real deal entertaining brand that is starting to become a very very good show. Some talent might think why go to raw and be a plodder to cena and orton when I can stay in NXT and deliver great matches. Also I noticed the NXT crowd is a lot different to the raw and smackdown crowds. No small children chanting.

Bloody oath, spices the tag team division up

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Spot on. It is what people want RAW and Smackdown to be. Crowd demographic is completely different. Good to see Buddy Murphy killing it on NXT (an aussie on the big stage)

Tag team division really needs the injection of the Dudleys, great comeback!

Sting back too! Happy to see, but looking at that receding hair makes me wish it was 5 years ago.

Stewart taking an AA was cool too. Entertaining Raw all up.

I have been loving New Day the last few weeks, but when the Dudleys came out I suddenly realised how much better the tag division was 10 years ago!

On a different topic - did people notice a definite change in Seth Rollins wrestling style and move-set against Cena at Summerslam? He wrestled most of that match as a babyface (made sense with the smark NY crowd).

Clearly they are dipping their toe into the pool for his eventual turn to becoming a fully fledged babyface. I am loving his heel work though, so I hope they keep it going for the foreseeable future.

True! I just forget how long ago things happened...

I can't believe WWE bought out WCW 14-15 years ago - in my head it was still 5-7 years ago!
