Since Mania we've had Bryan's injury, Barrett's injury when it looked like he would win Money in the Bank, and now Roman's injury. Who put a curse on the WWE, and new guys either shattering the glass ceiling or shattering it and becoming a face of the company? Man, now Roman Reigns is even the favorite wrestler of Miz's stunt double.

They're forked. WWE is completely and utterly forked. The main event is a complete mess with Punk gone, Bryan hurt, Reigns hurt, Cena nursing injuries, Ziggler de pushed, Sandow's a joke, Cody's a gimmick, Barrett is hurt... damn, Ambrose is about it and he's dead meat against Brock. What can I say? WWE is completely and utterly forked right now. Swagger is over as f*** and Cesaro has potential if they try to rebuild him. I know Ziggler is depushed, but I think Miz and Ziggler's IC feud could carry the shows; they could at least main event SmackDown. It seems like the reason they're feuding over the IC Title was not to de-push them, but to get the IC belt on a "name" that the fans still somewhat regard as "important". I would mark the f*** out if Cesaro just cut some amazing promo about being de-railed after WrestleMania, and got his push, character, and move back. However, I'd also mark for...

I really hope they give Ambrose the main-event push now.

A weak abdominal wall is a sign of a weak man. Right up there with sneezing. Get the man his bananas and a gorilla suit, he'll never sniff the main event again.

This kinda sucks. I actually like Reigns, if only because he seems to be genuinely trying.

He's out 10 to 12 weeks? I would hate to be anywhere in Vince's immediate vicinity right now. He's probably YESing. Most rumors are saying Triple H is the one pushing for Reigns to beat Lesnar, Vince wants it to be Rock.

I can't help but feel like this is a great awakening to the WWE that their wafer thin roster cannot rely on pushing a single baby face outside of Cena.
They need to work on their roster all the way through.

Here's to a quick recovery. Hopefully you're time away will be more like a...Roman Holiday. ahem... Now he can do some of the things he's always wanted to do. Oh, you can't even imagine. He'd just do whatever he liked all day long.

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery, but I did want to point out that I do like having the Network for things like this. Having that Breaking News come in on the Network came off with a certain air of legitimacy. It was exactly like something the NFL would do, and I think it gives the Network a little more substance and utility.

We know what the logical ideas going forward to be. But Vince is old, and old people are incapable of making new decisions or changing their ways, so I suspect Cena wins title, Orton goes face, Kane feuds with Dean Ambrose and more focus on Big Show. And yet, Vince won't be able to understand why these tired options don't draw one iota either.

At least when he comes back he might not be saddled with an endless feud with Orton.

I look forward to Reigns winning the Rumble as the surprise guy like Cena and Edge before him.

Did I hear Cole wrong? He said several months. I don't want to mince words but "a few" and "several" aren't the same. And I keep reading that the timeline is typically only 6 weeks. So "out indefinitely" makes the most sense to say but "several months" sounded like late Q1 of 2015 or something...
