Knowing WWE booking they'd probably make a twist where Lesnar turns on Heyman.

Good call. Lesnar goes "corporate". Heyman and Punk have detente due to the impending threat.

Alright, a break from the RAW stuff.
WWE.com: Alexander Rusev

Saw this guy in a match the other day, him and Dolph. Here's someone to look forward to. Big guy, technical, and can get up in the air better than someone much smaller than him. Look it up if you can.

Also, same NXT episode had Antonio -vs- El Generico in a 2 out of three falls match, great match. You all need to watch.

There is someone on youtube that has ben uploading the matches, I'll see if I can find it.

why is El Generico in NXT? He was one of the top guys in ROH. He is more than ready for the WWE. What are these fools running the company doing? Young talent ready and not using them.

[HollywoodLeo]

Everyone goes to development after signing a contract, this is nothing that should shock you.

I'm sure he'll be up relatively quickly.

[HafDawg2003]

Make him the third El Matador! Haha.

[HollywoodLeo]

I assumed he was going to be one of them already?

[Hammer]

i assumed it was primo and epico.

ROH I thought was owned by the WWE already. So I think the WWE should know about the talent they have already. What do you think of Matt Taven? Seem to me he should be moving to the WWE in the near future. ROH has some good talent and another guy that should get a shot is Kevin Steen.

[HollywoodLeo]

ROH isn't owned by WWE and the WWE has always sent talent they've signed from other promotions, no matter how popular they were amongst said promotion's fanbase, to development.

Alberto Del Rio was arguably one of the biggest names south of the border while he was still there and even he went to FCW for a short while.

Personally I'd guess its to let them get use to the bigger WWE rings and doing any sort of top rope moves off the WWE ropes. Jim Cornette I think bought a share of ROH and does a lot of their marketing. He also owned part of Louisville when it was the WWE developmental just youtube some of his rants about John Laurenitis to see how it ended. He polished many of the top guys in the business today in OVW before WWE took the developmental to Fla.

My favorite line was they begun grooming Laurenitis for JR spot... like grooming a wearwolf, he couldn't hold JR's jock now they're having him hold JR's spot.

I know he's there to job but FREAKING GOLDUST IN THE HOUSE!

With Night of Champions coming up I figure I'd try my hand at predicting the results and giving my 2 cents.

Lets start with what will be the main event and most intriguing match on the entire card: Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton. I preference this with the assumption that Cody (and the family) will be back sooner rather than later. I think Cody screws Randy if that is the case. If he's gone for another month (I wouldn't bring him back if not on a PPV IMO) then Orton probably retains with utter chaos reigning supreme finish, and continuing this fued.

Any thoughts that a Bryan win and it happens again? Sandeau cashes in with some "loophole" and becomes the new WWE champ spinning off Sandeau/Bryan and Rhodes vs Orton family?

Next up for me CM Punk vs Axel and Heyman elimination match: There's a side of me that wants this to be the final blow off. I wonder with the lack the star power (Cena, Sheamus, Henry, etc all hurt) right now I wonder if WWE would reuse Punk calling HHH a doofus and if they have any thoughts on bringing that up. I can also see the potential of Heyman faceturn with the events of tonight starting with the doctor and the corporation willingly giving Punk almost anything he's asked for. Maybe Axel realigns himself to put ALL the belts in HHH control?

Winner: Axel/Heyman I don't see this being the final blowoff.

Tag Team Turmoil Match: Lets be honest this should have been where Strong Show wins the belts IMO. Henry getting hurt rained all over that. Now they've setup a #1 contenders match. Usos, Tons of Funk, The Real Americans, 3MB (I'm assuming Slater and Mahal), the PTPers. Lets be honest the only ones WWE really care about is the Real Americans and the PTPers. You're not turning Zeb face so I'm going with the obvious choice.

Winners: PTPers darkhorse the Usos.

Miz vs Fandango: I just don't care, this match is WWE taking two guys in the wrong roles and throwing them together. I always liked Miz better as a heel, he just one of those guys that you want to punch in his face and making him a good guy just goes against everything in his character. IMO.

World Heavyweight Title: Del Rio vs RVD. RVD at this point (even with the monicker no job Rob) is just filler, the WWE is just bidding its time with this until Rey is healthy again. Ricardo will be the one to watch IMO, if he screws Rob you know Rey's return is IMMEDIATE. They wouldn't be doing this "hero to the Latino community" if they didn't have Rey back soon as he's the only guy even remotely close that could sell some tickets.

Winner: ADR

Divas Match: Quite Honestly the only thing keeping this from being a refill run is the fact Natalya's in it, although Naomi is starting to show she might be next one that can go. I don't really care about crazy girl, the Bellas, Total Diva, or reality tv in this angle. I'd venture a guess that AJ does not retain but to who she loses I don't have the foggiest. I think the WWE will want to try and get the "champ" as much publicity as they can.
