I really wanted him to place his hands on his ears and lower one and whichever one was still by his ear would be the act he does. If/when they finally bring Liv Morgan back he could place the "heal" glove over her ear and thats how he brings her along.

Yea this is all speculation but it seems like Rollins, Reigns, Lesnar, DB, and Kofi are going Smackdown.....AJ and Bray are going Raw.....now where everything else fits it doesn't really matter at this point.

There is no way that WWE has the good sense to pair up Bray and Liv when she comes back

Renee is listed as a special correspondent for Smackdown now. FS1 confirmed WWE Backstage with her and Booker T is starting Nov 5. Vic Joseph, Dio Madden, and Jerry Lawler are taking over Raw.

It's a good idea though. He needs a companion of some sort. Liv Morgan is a good one. I always thought it was going to be Nikki Cross but she is off with Alexa now.

I could also see them splitting up Fire and Desire. Seeds already being planted for that(storyline being Sonya thinks Mandy is too self obsessed and doesn't focus enough on winning their matches)

Everything I’ve heard has been the exact opposite. That Fox wants a more “serious sport” focus.

Maybe so but look at Taker's early years with WWE.....he was a straight heel....it took him years of character development to get where he is now (which really is basically a Babyface)....the Fiend has pretty much been straight heel and even the Funhouse segments have started to stray that way.


The rest of your post about the individuals like Balor, Braun and Drew, frankly it’s going to be in the capable hands of Heyman.

Miz is way bigger then 5 years ago, imo.

But with The Fiend-Taker comparison, it ain’t 1993. Smart fans love a great character and if he’s white hot, they’ll cheer him. I consider this an extension of his early character anyway, the puppets allude to previous storylines.

Keep him protected and don’t overexpose him...and they can do this for a year.


AJ and The OC can run the mid card scene and be the only faction.

Wrestling today sucks balls.
Nothing but jabroni's, jobbers, and shitty story lines.

Right but ultimately you need some bone of contention for fake fights to even remotely make sense....you need a story....at this point if The Fiend attacked Drew McIntyre it would be like "WTF" from a storyline perspective....unless they pull the trigger on the Hurt/Heal bit which we've seen no evidence of at this point.

Right...aka heel

It's gonna be hard to do this with the belt on him.

Been a problem for a while but has become extremely noticeable since Cena left....their is hope with Heyman, Bischoff, and Prichard becoming more involved.

It's an extremely good idea.....she could do a Harley Quinn type thing and take over the Funhouse.....could be incredible.

Spend some time watching MJF when AEW debuts next week. He will restore your faith in wrestling. The best heel/personality in the biz.

I will fully admit that he is the main reason why I will watch AEW. I had heard about him but never saw any of his work.... after a few minutes on YouTube he shot up on my favorite list.

The Fiend can be an operate as an agent of chaos.

Drew would take some destroying of someone, of course to rebuild, and ideally he’s the matchup to “turn” Fiend “babyface”

Hence the point of a heel dominant faction. Keep The Fiend doing what he’s doing picking guys off, while AJ and co. go out and perform, do heel shite.

And mid carders #2 belts have a long tradition of carrying weekly shows.

I don’t think Fiend should be on TV every week, but FFH can.

The rest of the roster can “live in fear”.

Plus it will give room for a lot of those guys to rebuild and grow.

This is different than Brock. It’s obviously far more theatrical and Brock has an Aura that he’s too good for WWE in his mind. Fiend is a character has a nostalgic appeal.
