Maybe. I've been wondering about someone they could put tNDB against at Mania. Seems like they wouldn't want to run with Styles again. Kofi would be a good choice.

ETA: Maybe add one more to Daniel's stable and have a 3-on-3 feud with Kofi vs. tNDB as the title match at Mania.

Bryant is the best heel on the show right now and him retaining made sense. Kofi as strong as he is doesn't have the story to hold the title yet. Kind of came from nowhere. For a heel as strong as Daniel you think long term. He has to be champ for awhile to build up more and more heat. Then lose to an ultra baby face in the end. He will end up losing the title but not till at least Summer Slam.

Amazing. They have the title on one of the best in the company and people complain. WWE fans are ridiculous. Daniel needs to hold it. He is the best in the business at heel work. Let it ride and see what they do with it for awhile.

Could be cool. But I would like to see maybe E and Woods vs Rowan and Bray(comes back as a Bryan follower) and then Kofi vs Bryan for the belt... who knows

There’s a reason they’re losing viewers in droves. I don’t know why anyone would have faith in them. They said we were getting better and different. I’ve seen absolutely nothing that says better or different. Heel heat closed the PPV in the last two matches again.

That PPV was as bad as anything the last two years before, yes, Kofi Kingston breathed life into the main event by giving everyone an emotional story to root for. Vince cant help himself. If it’s not what he wants, it has to be damn near unbearable for it to change. For every Daniel Bryan or Becky Lynch every 5 years, there’s a ton of Kofis and Rusevs who get popular as all hell that don’t get shite.

No, WWE is going to frick up. That’s what they do.

You don’t see people complaining about NXT, because NXT is actually good.

You’re just being lazy and oddly hypocritical by getting so butthurt that people don’t blindly love current WWE.

You just had a great main event with the whole crowd behind an underdog with many people on the edges of their seats and on their feet and a great heel character held onto the title to possibly set up an even bigger match/storyline later on down the line and you're here saying it's the worst thing WWE has done in two years.

But I'm the one being oddly hypocritical and lazy. It doesn't take much energy to nitpick everything and call it the worst thing WWE has ever done.

Yes, taken in a vacuum, bravo to them. It doesn’t erase the previous 3 hours of complete garbage. It was a great match and not a good PPV. Every once in awhile, itd be nice for WWE to just give the fans what they want instead of sticking to plan A no matter what.

Well, I do agree that some of the matches weren't great. I think there is way too much emphasis on women's wrestling and trying to tell us that women are the greatest thing to ever happen to wrestling. Personally, I still base about 80% of if I'm going to get behind a female wrestler on her looks alone. I wish they'd stop trying to sell me that they're such great wrestlers when a lot of their matches are predictably full of botches.

There are other kinda nitpicky things. Nothing got to me more this week than having Dean come out there on Monday and support Seth.

But I don't ever remember, ever since I started really watching wrestling starting with WCW in the late 90s, when I watched WWE after that, and even when I've briefly followed ROH and NXT at times, where there weren't parts of nearly every show that I wasn't that into. It's just the way the business is, imo. But overall, I still enjoy watching it more than most other forms of entertainment.

Agree. The Ronda match was a waste of space and the tag match wasn't all that entertaining. It just isn't as good as men's...kind of simple. The Becky continuing story line is awesome. Charlotte, Becky, and the forgotten one that had her streak end for no reason can put on a hell of a show. Most don't though. Kind of skip through most women's matches unless one of those are on.

Kofi was in this match for less than 2 weeks.....and you expected him to win after a 60+ min losing effort in a gauntlet match....screams mark.

God damn.....often times what the fans want is dumb....look at HBK and Brett fans never wanted HBK to win that match...some fans didn't want SCSA to beat HBK....to have Kofi win that match with very little storyline and no real build would have been insane and it would have totally killed Bryan's heat.....now can you work to Kofi getting that title off Bryan??? Personally I don't see it in Kofi but maybe
