HHH can Bring back Jim Johnston, Marty Jannetty, or anyone now that Vince is gone. Idc, just don't take away time from KO and Zeke. We need a payoff.

Man, I dunno how I would feel about Sasha and Naomi returning tonight. If it happened, it would immediately eclipse Iyo and Dakota's big debuts, unless Sasha and Naomi got their asses handed to them. I mean, have them double team Becky and Bianca, maybe if they're in a tag make it a 5 on 2, they run out to chase off the baddies, sounds like a win/win to me. EDIT: Heck, throw in someone else like Alexa who might get some shots in but it's overwhelmed so you set up a blockbuster 5 on 5 for next week.

I hope RAW opens with HHH coming out on stage, says "Hi!" and then walks back to gorilla. The set is the one with him and Steph, from the McMahon Helmsley era. That was hilarious.

I hope Stephanie makes Adam Pearce wrestle Lashley and then fires his ass. AP has to hang out with you, then!

It would be awesome. And if Becky is going to be out for a while, it sets up Bayley/Io/Dakota against Bianca/Sasha/Naomi, which is fantastic. I think the issue though is that if Bayley, Iyo, and Dakota don't make an actual serious statement tonight and come out on top, it's going to be much harder to take them seriously if they back down from any sort of confrontation. Not everyone watches NXT. And them either being laid out or having to run away would do a ton of damage. First impressions are very important. This is why I don't like the idea of Sasha and Naomi returning right now, because it would be blatantly obvious they would be standing tall at the expense of two women who need it significantly more. And this is why I do not see them returning tonight....IF it is happening or in the plans and I think HHH is smart enough to know this. He absoloutley has to be aware of how much attention those three returning got and the need to immediately establish them as as the top heels of the womens division. Again IF this is just them dropping the hints to get people talking it is far smarter to wait untill IMO close to SVS where it would make sense to bring them into the fold and build to a 5 on 5. HHH needs to atleast give 2 maybe 3 months window to really let Bayley , IYO and Dakota flourish as dangerous serious heel trio. Becky , Bianca , Alexa/Asuka is more than enough to keep things busy untill then.

I hear where you're coming from and I'm sure it's something they'll keep in mind. My two cents is that the first impression already happened on Saturday at SummerSlam. They made a huge deal of both women. It wasn't like they just showed up on the sides of the ring and attacked Bianca. They each had their own individual moment and entrance with the announcers going nuts. Heels get beat up and run away. It's what happens. I just also have faith they'll be treated like threats. If you have the opportunity to strike while the iron's hot and surprise a crowd with a return of two of their biggest women's stars, I don't think you hold off on that because you're trying to get two other women over. The fact that Io and Dakota would be mixing it up with Naomi and Sasha is enough to legitimize them. WWE's been a lot of status quo lately. They need some shock and awe moments. Sasha and Naomi showing up is one of those.

The fact that Io and Dakota would be mixing it up with Naomi and Sasha is enough to legitimize them. Exactly. I feel like this show is when you need to start showing you're different from the new administration. Not to say there needs to be dramatic changes (Dunn's still going to be there for a bit) but after decades of Vince and having him firmly stuck in his ways with constant false dawns and band-aids, you need to come out swinging and likely reward those coming back to see what's different. If Vince somehow got them back (neither of them are in their 50s which would be the closest that would have come) then sure, hold it off for a couple of weeks and make it special but at this point? HHH needs to show he's willing to put the work to restock a women's division that Vince basically agreed to depleat. Kai and Sky (not going to get used to that) are great starts but the cherry on the cake would be Sasha and Naomi. You'll basically have two tag teams ready to go and you can try and figure out this women's tag problem. Maybe an NXT announcement of a tournament crowning a three brand champion, for example.

Gable or Ciampa, please. Gable's shown he has great chemistry with Lashley and it's a shame he hasn't held a singles title yet, while Ciampa vs. Lashley would be a fresh match.

You wanna make a statement, you have Ali win that whole thing, then hang with Lashley for a good 20 minutes. That said, a heel winner makes more sense, but if this really is a statement show, give it to Ali.

Ali has been teaming with Cedric on Main Event I don't think he's winning but would love to see him & Cedric vs Usos for the tag titles

I wonder if Theory will take Ziggler out of the triple threat.
