I think it's going to culminate with Big E becoming the Top Face with Otis waiting in the wings. I feel like the Otis cash in leads to Otis dying for our sins and that's where Big E comes in. For an Otis cash in to work imo. That gimmick needs live fans going bonkers.

It's almost like the Usos when they turned heel You just see the I'm That Motherf*** vibes coming off of him. His natural swagger is there This is The GUY WWE has wanted all along. They just had to actually let him be him

I mean...it took the Usos weeks until they got their new look and entrance, it took Bayley months, it takes time before everyone get it, it's never instant. Besides that, we just had people last week saying Reigns would be a face. If dude came out here with a new entrance and a new look before he acted like a heel, don't you think that would be more of a "hey, ok he's a heel" before he showed he was a heel? He's gotta prove he's a heel first (which he did tonight) before he gets his new stuff. That's how it works. Right This isn't just a fresh revamp, it is a new character If he keeps the music, I don't really care. I just need to see something diff that shows you this is a new guy as DB never really changed his gear (outside of color) or his music but his whole demeanor was diff

I’m so confused because doesn’t smackdown have like...no top faces now? There’s Jeff and...that’s about it. You can fill in some holes but they need to get cracking on that yesterday if this is the route you gonna go. Big E and Otis are in the background as top faces Bray looks to be going tweener at least. You still got DB. You can always turn AJ Roman will be a face again in 6 months tho The Big E push seems to at least be starting in earnest with Kofi and Xavier out injured, while Otis is just kinda there for now.

Otis needs the fans and that has hurt him He's perfect to throw to Roman. Let him be the loveable babyface that wants to challenge the champ one on one. Let him be competitive against Roman and then Roman does some dick head shit like a low blow in front of the ref costing Otis his shot It will show Otis can hang with the big boys and keep that door open but make Roman a bigger asshole

Roman as a heel is a breath of fresh air honestly But good lord Braun and The Fiend are total goobers at this point. Smackdown really needs Big E to rise into the challenger role. I feel bad for the Fiend. I gots no sympy for Braun.

It’s weird saying he’s being a badass when he waited until his two opponents had beaten the piss out of each other and broken the ring before even entering the match. Normally he’d have been right in the fight from the start. As a face in his mega pushes he'd be up front, get beat down, sleep on the outside while fans laughed, then burst of energy win in one move to a chorus of boos. Here because he's a heel it plays different, he outsmarted his opponents in a cheating way, looked cool as f*** (I-don't -care-what-you-think kinda cool. Not pandering, which was never cool). I get where you’re coming from, and I don’t disagree. It’s more that “badass”, as it’s often used as a positive trait, usually implies there’s honour and bravery involved. Reigns was being intelligent, but not necessarily honourable and brave in waiting until his opponents had put themselves at a disadvantage compared to himself before entering the match. I don’t know. It just seems weird to me saying he’s a badass now when he’s done probably the most cowardly thing he’s done in years. *shrug*

I disagree with someone being able to sign a contract for a match after it already started. This isn't Money in the Bank.

That's the badassery. It's all in the attitude.

Yea, there is a subtle diff As a face he'd been in the match in the beginning, got taken out and then getting all hype As a heel, he came in late, showed frustration when they wouldn't lay down for him and went the extra mile with a dick kick to get his W

So considering this seems to be working pretty well, we all just agree now that the past 5 years was the biggest f***ing waste of time.

Only reason I didn't watch tonight was because I knew this would happen. Let me say that Roman needed to refine his character so I'm all for the heel turn. But as a Bray fan, I want to see him have one meaningful run with the title. It seems like WWE always toys with my emotions with my favorites. They did it with Christian back in the day by having him win the title only to lose it the following Smackdown. Now, they're doing it with Bray. Just once, I want to see my favorite wrestler actually hold the world title longer than a month or two. Like I said, I'm all for Roman turning heel. I just wish they would have waited until at least the Rumble before Bray dropped the title to him.
