I'd like to point out, on Raw they basically didn't at all mention that Punk won on a fluke - they played it up entirely as if he beat them straight and at no point tried to talk it up as a fluke. Plus, the implication here is that Punk could beat Bryan, Kane, and Taker by himself by extension and... Yeah, no. Punk's honestly probably worse these days about going full-on invincible than Cena is. And even excusing the three on one thing, it still makes no sense that Punk wasn't able to beat them again with two more people backing him up if he could do it alone. It just made it look like the Usos are so worthless they dragged Punk down. Did we watch the same Raw? They mentioned Reigns' eye about 15 times during the match.

That episode was the bomb.com
Hopefully the ratings continue to rise, unlike Nikki Bella's chances of having children.

Honestly, I don't see this being a huge deal. I had worse injuries occur as a kid (knocked out completely by running into an open door) and saw far worse injuries, too (kid fell into a huge pile of rocks, another kid jumped off the roof, 3rd kid put through a glass door and landed stomach first onto broken glass). Only the stomach into glass necessitated an ambulance, too. The other ones? Call the parents, get em to a doctor.
Plus this kid has a good story to tell now, which she'll need since her freaking name is AMAZING.

I hope this works out well for them. You gotta figure, Raw and Smackdown both get amazing ratings for a cable show, while Main Event does pretty incredibly well for what it is. And Total Divas is definitely a hit - showing that people will watch a show ABOUT wrestling, as well as a wrestling show.
Plus it's on every single week, which has to be pretty appealing for networks that see dips when their popular shows go on hiatuses between seasons.

Animal Man's at least going to get a good ending, can't disagree with that too much. It's added to my "New 52 books that were awesome but didn't sell to the average fan" list along with:

"A rib on Obama" like he's under contract with the WWE or something. And Vince isn't a fan? According to polls, most people aren't right now anyway...
It was just a goofy bit making fum of a current pop culture event. Not the end of the world but it was annoying.

I don't mind it. It shows that Cena and Bryan have a mutual respect for each other and that Cena is using the clout he's picked up over the years to help Bryan out. Bryan tried for months to do it on his own, and the Authority kept screwing him over. Now it's like, hey, if Cena wants to help, then so be it.

Punk got lucky due to an eye injury on Reigns and the Shield taking him lightly.
Last night they regrouped and won.
If Punk would have steamrolled over all 3, yeah it's something to worry about. But he barely won, then booked it outta there to make sure he didn't get beat down after the match.

As long as she didn't spill any blood on Cena's clean clothes, she should be okay.
Sucks it happens, but at least she didn't get Kayoe'd or anything really bad. Hopefully no concussion.

An assumed deceased wrestler coming from the entrance ramp with a big grin on his face. Depends on who this would be (and why) for me. If Eddie Guerrero came out and said "Remember when everyone thought I was dead? WELL I LIED!!!!" and says that he had to go undercover for the FBI to help stop terrorism, then yup, I'm fine with it. If Curt Hennig walked out instantly got beat up by Curtis Axel, revealing that his "death" was a long term storyline to push Rybaxel, then yeah I'm done.

Yeah, either Henry's going heel or it's to set up a mentor/student face vs face match between them.

My guess after last night:
Orton vs Cena vs Bryan at the Rumble. Orton pins Cena clean to retain. We get to the Rumble as the main event, and Bryan makes a shocking entrance.
He wins the Rumble to get a clean, one-on-one match with Orton, which he knows he can win.

The SHIELD had one amazing year of almost complete domination. They were pretty much evenly built the entire time: Reigns is the powerhouse, Ambrose is the talker, Rollins is the high flyer. Rollins took the most pins, but he also had more singles matches than Reigns. Ambrose got a singles title, but wasn't as dominant a force by himself. And Reigns, as mentioned, hasn't wrestled a one-on-one match yet. I don't think any of them have been sacrificed for the others. The Nexus? I think the problem there was a HUGE disconnect between the most talented guys (Barrett, Slater) and the least talented (Tarver and Otunga) that led to them being a not very focused group. Reigns did wrestle DB in a incredible match on Raw Dang, I stand corrected on that point. Still, I don't think Reigns has been booked as being above the others. He's been protected, sure, but not to the detriment of the others.

So a few things jump out to me right away:
Is AJ officially the new "NUCLEAR HEATZ" person since Bryan and Punk are officially successful and these stories won't make sense with them any more?
What do they mean this is making the rounds backstage? It's obviously printed from like deviantart or something.... are we supposed to think that like, Natalya is putting this on people's lockers?
Was this drawn by a wrestler? The signature looks like a big "B" - does that mean B. Brian Blair did this?!?!?

I assume JoJo's no longer on the show because she's dating Orton, right? And he doesn't want to be on the show, which severely limits what JoJo can do on TV.
I'd replace her with either AJ or Kaitlyn from the current crop of Divas, I think. Although something really interesting might be to see Sara Del Ray, since she's an NXT trainer and would bring a whole new world of insight. Plus we could see Cesaro out of character!!!

Yes this is just like that time they intentionally bled off a huge chunk of the fanbase after the Monday Night Wars ended. Their goal that time was to make the overall wrestling product more niche and unappealing to the mass market, so they could make Wrestlemania celebrity appearances mean more.

A lot of people have been bemoaning the last few months of WWE PPVs and TV, but it seems like most people are still watching.
So here's a question, what (potentially possible) thing would get you to quit watching WWE forever? Or at least for a very long time?
For me: if Miz ever becomes WWE Champion again. It'll prove that WWE and I no longer agree on what a WWE Champion should be, and that I should just quit watching rather than frustrate myself.
The only other one would be if they became a kind of late WCW "this is a shoot" company. If they ever do a storyline that boils down to "WRESTLING IS FAKE, EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE STORY" then I'm done.
