Rowan's push should have started in 2014, and should've been highlighted with Kane and Undertaker putting him over while they were still in wrestling condition.

I’ll believe any of this when it happens, because I’m pretty sure that Vince’s definition of big pushes varies wildly from the accepted definition. He’ll be bored of all of them except for D-Mac by February.

Sadly, out of those four, Murphy will no doubt be the one they give up on first if the report's true. That moody piece of shit Black posted something on his Tumblr last night kinda shutting down the reports of who's high on him or not, so who knows.

By Money in the Bank:
WWE Champion - Black
WWE United States Champion - Rowan
Raw Tag Team Champions - Mac and Cheese* (Buddy)
I dare you Vince, to call Buddy Murphy "Cheese" just so we get that tag team name.
DARE YOU!

Oh boy just what the world needs more screen time for Erik Rowan and his cage of Vince ideas.

I know he’s not the most popular but I’m hoping Drew finally gets that title push this year. I’m doubtful though because he just can’t seem to take that next step.

They've been "set to push" Drew McIntyre since he went back to RAW,
Shit or get off the pot.

Well, doing Black vs Murphy endless rematches + 50/50 booking is not gonna help any of them

This Rowan thing is never going to get over. Ever. EVER.
Not saying he won't (though I don't figure he will, because they've rebooted the character like 50 times at this point), but this stupid cage shit is never going to. It's a complete dead-end of a gimmick.

Rowan = Ok, I'll see where this goes. I'm down with a Rowan push. Just let it be a snake or something and he'll be fine.
McIntyre = Expected, been saying for years. They need a clear plan for him.
Black = His push is going well, just building from the ground up, it'll work out.
Murphy = Good. I thought he was gonna be lost in the doldrums.

Funny how Rowans gets pushed but Vince hates Harper.

I really think if they push McIntyre, it should be as a face.

I'm fine with all four getting pushes as I thin they're all good and they need to start elevating some different people.
They really need to shit or get off the pot when it comes to McIntyre. Since he came back almost two years ago he's just been on this endless cycle where destroys lower card faces and talks about all these things he's going to accomplish and then the next week he fights a higher level face to some schmoz non finish and then goes back to beating a lower card the next week, rinse and repeat. It's like they really like him but yet at the same time can't figure out what to do with him. He's basically become a less annoying Wheel of Aggression era Alberto Del Rio.
Rowan has stepped up his game since they paired him Daniel Bryan and the cage angle is interesting so I don't have a problem with them giving a him shot especially with the lack of giants now. I also still feel bad for him when his last singles push was killed when they had over the hill Big Show squash him just to build him up so he could MAKE ROMAN LOOK STRONGER.
Murphy seems to be more of a long term project. I don't see him getting pushed as hard as the other three as right now it seems like they'e just using him to put over Black but I could see him maybe getting a US Title reign around the summer time.
Black is kind of in the same boat as McIntye in that he's always booked strong and protected but they don't seem to have a plan for him. At least with him he hasn't been around as long so it hasn't got that annoying yet. I could see him challenging Brock although that's probably something that won't end too well for him.

Funny how Rowans gets pushed but Vince hates Harper. That's really only because Harper has been on the outs for the last year since he asked for his release. Not that Harper wasn't underutilized but they clearly always valued him over Rowan. Harper got a IC title reign, usually went over Rowan when they fought each other, and got much better Rumble showings. It wasn't until they paired him with Bryan about a year ago that they finally started to book Rowan as a threat, as until then he was just basically a giant JTTS. It wouldn't surprise me if Harper was intended for Rowan's spot if he hadn't asked for his release. |

I can't wait to see the Murphy vs. Black cuck angle involving Zelina Vega even though she and Black have never been acknowledged as a couple on screen, as far as I can tell.

This company confuses me. Before the draft, Rowan was the big heel on SmackDown and getting promo time. Since then, he's been completely forgotten. That's what happens when Vince likes you?
