I just started watching wrestling last year around the time CM Punk left and Daniel Bryan quickly became my favorite. It's kind of sad that he just came back from injury and now he's injured again. Jeff Hardy is apparently injured now as well. I mainly watch WWE but I watch TNA sometimes to see Jeff Hardy.
This is my first post on this forum and I feel like such a downer.. well, at least Neville is a really fun to watch new talent!

Damn, is it really that bad for Bryan? I'm new to him after starting back into wrestling with the last Wrestlemania and I was really totally liking him, but hearing him being unfit to do any wrestling and now this, it just really sucks. Such a short WWE career if he has to retire, though I understand he's been doing wrestling in various places over a decade now.
Neville is a cool newer guy though, I definitely agree there. Gotta work on his persona abit more, but he's got some real skills. He's got a ton of push behind him, but unlike some other folks who were failing their push, like Reigns (Who I feel is coming back abit more lately from what I heard of him before Wrestlemania), he's gets the ups and downs while being very likable. Hopefully he can become someone big. He totally needs to win King of the Ring, though he probably won't simply because he's too new. Can't rush his hype too fast lol

Yeah, Daniel Bryan was supposed to defend the Intercontinental Championship against Bad News Barrett at Extreme Rules but the day of the show they announced Daniel Bryan won't be having the match. He wasn't on RAW the next night either. He has definitely made a mark on WWE though by holding every championship title.. except the WWE Divas Championship of course.
Yeah I didn't expect Neville to win King of the Ring but he definitely put on two great matches when he was a contender. I don't really have a strong opinion on Roman Reigns but I really hope he doesn't win the title at Payback. Seth Rollins should keep it for at least one more PPV.

I love Seth Rollins as this douche heel champion. The next one after Payback would probably be good, definitely don't want it to be Reigns yet, but I'm curious where Lesnar will come back into play. He was suspended in story and hasn't shown up at all since Raw after Wrestlemania. He's the only missing part of the Wrestlemania shenanigans that should probably come into play. My guesstimation, is that Rollins somehow wins at Payback, which takes out Reigns and Orton from the running, which then makes the match come down to Lesnar vs Rollins? Could be completely wrong on that though.
I'm also anticipating the return of Masked Kane. They are building up to his leaving the Authority, maybe him ruining Rollins keeping of the belt as his last move, since they talk about how it was him that got him the chance at the belt in the first place.

I could see someone winning the Money in the Bank briefcase and cashing in soon after and winning but I'm not sure who that would be. Probably who ever will feud with Brock Lesnar. Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure Brock Lesnar will return SummerSlam since that's the second largest PPV.
I kind of actually like Corporate Kane because I enjoy his mic skills. I just think the character is kind of boring, I would like to see him without his mask but in a different role just so he can keep talking. Maybe as GM of RAW? I don't even know who the current one is if there even is one.

NXT really does seem to have a better handle with using their women in the matches. In WWE, I literally groan with every interaction of the Divas I've seen since getting back to watching since Wrestlemania. It's painful. Almost none of the women seem to have any real athleticism to them. Lots of botched moves and boring angles. Only interesting thing that happened so far was the thing with Naomi being a real heel and wearing glowing shoes or the funny little angle of Lana getting fan fupport at shows and making Rusev pissed off, but she's not even a wrestler lol
Charlotte is one of the few I've seen who actually feels like a proper wrestler to me. She's tall, noticeably athletic, and she has that Flair history she's pushing. She takes some serious bumps too and sells it well. I'm trying to watch more NXT, it's just harder with the smaller audience making the shows feel abit empty in comparison to like Raw or Smackdown for obvious reasons.
