Decent Raw last night.
However, I can't see what they are trying to do with AJ and Roman. One is massively over but paired with a heel tag team. The other is getting booed out the building but is with a face team and acting more like a face.
For me AJ needs to stay face and either Balor or Rollins comeout as the leader of Gallows and Anderson

However they end up packaging 'bullet club', I personally think they should add an existing wwe guy to the mix. If he weren't leaving I would say Barrett would fit the bill tbh. Rollins would be great but maybe a bit too big?...Balor really has to be the leader, and Rollins might be wasted as just a member imo... Anyway, hopefully this will lead to bullet club vs a reformed Shield!

mocking cm punk
I'd imagine he was on a decent whack from his main event run afew years ago against Cena and Punk and now WWE are offering him less.
Don't blame WWE though, the guy is dangerous in the ring and not particularly interesting as a character

Just found this that Ryback has posted. An interesting read and sheds light on the situation.

Today I sit and fly home and for the first time in years feel absolutely free. I will start by saying I did request to be taken off of WWE television until myself and Vince could get a yes or no on a new deal. This has been going on since my IC Title run and had been nothing but a major strain on my life as all I ever wanted to do was work for WWE. I was told to head home until we agree or not agree to specific terms and contrary to reports it isn’t over money or a bus that stuff was settled a while ago. It comes down to a major problem I have with not only WWE but wrestling in general.
Wrestling is pre determined, we as performers know before we go out to that ring or perform a backstage scene who is winning and losing etc or have a general idea of what we are going to say. It blows my mind how in a sport which is pre determined from a company standpoint winners are paid so much more than the losers. Every single person who works for WWE from top to bottom is absolutely just as valuable as the next. The winners cannot win unless the losers go out there and agree to lose to them.
It blows my mind that in this day and age though we still adhere to this formula. Obviously things have always been this way, but does that make them right? Times have changed and our goal as humans should be to evolve and learn from our past and the past of others so we could make this world a better place. Why is it a guy who is told he is going to go out and lose and does everything he is told be paid not only less, but much less than said winner over a period of time. Every single performer for WWE sacrifices the same amount of time from home and their families and every single man or women goes out and does what they are told. Looking at this formula though losers turn into what fans like to call jobbers and their value decreases in the companies eyes and before you know it they get released. For what? For doing exactly as they are told!
Why not pay the talent equally? The winners have more MERCH as it is or are supposed to anyways so they get that extra perk, but why make the guy who is told to and agrees to lose earn less and sacrifice spots in big pay per view match ups etc. This is one of the major problems with wrestling and WWE today. Most guys take great satisfaction in helping making other talent, the b—hing and the moaning we always hear about stems from the fact they know they are ultimately over time going to make less and live in fear of being released.
I am proud to say I have never gone to change a finish and have gladly took pride in helping put over other talent. Hell look at my pay per view record of 12-26 and you will see that has been the pattern of my career. I have always been confident in my ability and work ethic to being my best every day and ultimately always felt that by doing good it was the right thing to do. Personally seeing my money go down over the years though even though I was working as much as ever and being denied magazine covers and other projects as well as watching my role diminish no matter what I did or how hard I tried takes its toll on a human. Being told no matter how hard I work or how good I get doesn’t always pay off is something I f–king refuse to ever believe in my life. I am a creative being and to be restricted time and time again is no way to live life. There is nothing I cannot do and I know no matter what comes of this situation I am going to be just fine. It isn’t soley about money, it is about commitment. Commitment to a guy who f–king cares and who loves this more than anything in the world and wants to know that his passion his efforts and his determination to constantly improve is going to be recognized and taken care of.
WWE may very well release me, which if it is the case so be it. If we can work things out a lot needs to change as I am not living in fear and creatively cannot continue to live a life that limits me creatively. I have many other interests and passions and have been very smart with my finances over the years. I thank every WWE superstar from top to bottom for their sacrifices and for working with me. The world is an amazing place and there is more than just a WWE universe there is The Universe and I will prove one way or another over time I am the greatest big guy in the universe!

He really does seem like a nice bloke. Talks a lot of sense. I was impressed with how well he spoke when he did that table for three thing with Daniel Bryan and Ziggler.
I think he should have been used a lot better. He can be seen as a genuine threat, but loses far too much.

I really like Ryback, he was a fav of mine for ages, but you could tell he was being had over. Every interview he makes he seems like a really likable bloke and unlike a lot of the big names, he has kept his nose clean and out of trouble, yet was never used in a Kane like manner, they could have had him as a huge real powerful threat in the ring, and the have him jobbed to tiny guys.
I mean if we look at this we have Reigns that no one likes, and they don't know what to do with him, he is TERRIBLE in the ring and on mic, AJ Syles is showing him up how bad he is.
And not impressed at all by the NXT people coming through, they have done little or shown no imagination at all. They have very few characters now, and even worse writing, and people are still tuning out.

But he flicked his hair back and did a spear, so Vince will keep him up at the top!

I agree... He was like he was winded. AJ Dominated that match for 90% of the time. Some great spots and to be honest just on his performance in that match alone he should have won the belt. GREAT showing and hopefully they will give him be belt down the line.
What do people think to the No Way Jose gimmick? I didiot follow him on the independent scene did he have a similar gimmick there?
I can see it being popular at full sail but becoming jobber status if moved to the main roster in the future
