Yes that's why I'm not bitching too much on this title change because it seems like they are gonna run with Roman as the main heel for a while which is different.

oddly... this MAY start opening the window for a MitB cash-in by Otis (if they decide to have Otis use it on the Universal Championship instead of the Tag Team Championship)

heel Roman would be much more susceptible to a face MITB cash-in than Strowman ever was... or even The Fiend (heel or face)

I'm not convinced that WWE can effectively work the Fiend as a face though ....which is why I said tonight is the beginning of the end for the Fiend.

ETA I'm not sure Vince ever fully committed to the Fiend side of Bray's character in this entire angle though.

I really don't believe The Fiend should be babyface

that said... as much as I love The Fiend character... I am of the belief that he would work best outside of the title picture

arrive... murder some poor schlub who previously wronged Bray Wyatt... leave

fun Bray comes around and wrestles more often than The Fiend

Is the ppv already over? Did I miss the memo about them no longer doing 18 hour long events and starting earlier? Seems like SummerSlam ended early too.

How do you think they're going to play the MitB briefcase now that they've also fashioned a MitB lunch pail?

1 of the best things WWE has realized of late...

if it's not a big 4 PPVs... it should be the same length as the old "In Your House" PPVs and not much longer (1:30 to 2:30 hrs long)

hell... even Big 4 PPVs should just barely stretch to 3 hours

Seems like the non-Big 4 have been ending around 8:30 lately and the the non-WM Big 4 end around 9:30-9:45. I forgot when WM ended.

was Damien Sandow champion when he had a toy Intercontinental Championship while The Miz was IC Champ?

The Fiend attacks Roman mad that Roman "stole" his championship and lays him out... Otis cashes in

BTW... Roman signing the contract just before walking down the ramp tonight will play into some part of the story somewhere

shitttt.... I just had this thought and wouldn't put it past WWE to do this

since Big E is getting the push... 1 night Otis just hands off the MitB contract to Big E (since they're buddy-buddy with tag team respect) and Big E cashes in to win the Universal Championship to cap his singles push

could also be the vehicle that leads to the implosion of New Day and a Big E heel turn
