Not sure as MJF is out for a while so not sure where they will take it. Seems like a new stable but they will need to build a feud with someone. Cole is injured himself however as well.
I suspected we won’t see or hear from MJF for quite some time and the removal from the roster strengthens that.

He’s lost both belts, his best friend and has no contract.. that’s the angle whilst he has surgery and recovers.

It will be interesting what happens with Cole and his group in the meantime though. They’ve made plenty of enemies already (Jay White, The Acclaimed, Hangman) and I also suspect Samoa Joe will find out what happens when you do a deal with the devil..

Plenty to go on, plus the introduction of Will Osprey to think about.

Eddie Kingston is one of the worst things in wrestling currently. I'd look more graceful in the ring.
Really cheesy and terrible. That finish to a tournament that fans are supposed to be invested in is crazy. It made them both look so bad.

I knew he was injured but didn’t expect him to be removed from the roster. I suspect those rumours of signing a contract were untrue then. Will be interesting to see where he goes if he hasn’t decided already.

I didn’t watch it but looking back they gave it away when he said he’d defend the title the entire way through until Tony pulled him back on it

I think he’s signed but they’ll just use it as a story now

Agreed. For that injury a 3/4 month layoff do you think? Be back just after Adam Cole…
Yeah he's banged up and needs proper time off. He's also better off staying where he is for another couple of years as the main attraction - his comeback should be huge if it's written well.

I reckon 2 years then WWE he will be big enough then to make an immediate impact.

I think he’s been working through a labrum tear in his shoulder which is the main issue.

Be interesting to see it all unfold. I wonder if he’ll stay a baby face or he’ll return as the old MJF..

Has to be a babyface return really and then go back to the heel.

It wasn’t so much who won, it was the closing sequence to the match. It was far too comical for a match of that magnitude. It made Moxley look really weak, I felt.

My biggest worry about The Rock doing a match - he'll be totally gassed after 2 minutes.
He’s got 3 months to get in shape. Should be fine

This rumble and Mania are going to be so star-studied. Strongest roster in 20 years or more. With Lesnar still to return too.

Wasn't he pretty gassed fairly early in one of his Cena matches? Or did he get injured? Can't remember now.

Either way he's much older now and still absolutely giant. Though to be fair the heat going into the match should mean they could get away with a fairly basic 10/15 match and it'll get over. Or they can throw Cody in there to give The Rock some more rest-spots.

What does Cody do if Rock vs. Reigns happens and isn't a triple-thread (and you have to assume it wouldn't be).

Seth vs. Cody vs. Punk? (despite being told before that Seth's title isn't part of the story)
Cody vs Walter?
Cody vs Stone Cold?

I've seen some people suggest on social media that Reigns v Orton at Royal Rumble, Reigns v Rock at Elimination Chamber and Reigns v Cody at Wrestlemania.

Surely there's no way you "waste" Rock and Reigns at the Chamber?? (even if it is an Australia super event).

Then again maybe the Aussies have paid a shitload for/to Rock?

Jinder Mahal did really well last night. Underrated heel.

They could do a triple threat. It takes a lot of the workload off Rock.

One of the most underrated entrance themes too. Always bobbing my head to it whenever he does his entrance.
