For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Honestly I don't hate that idea. Strapping the rocket to a heel so Roman has to dig deep to stand a chance is old-school storytelling. I definitely think Reigns will get heat from some fans in his title chase no matter what, but maybe some people would relent this time around.
2. Considering Rollins is going to miss six-to-nine months, I think they're going to shift gears for the time being. They need a champ who can take them through Mania. Part of me wants to see Reigns win the belt at WM32 or so and have Rollins return as a babyface to beat the guy fans aren't getting behind. We'll see if that actually happens, though.
3. The main thing I dislike about that scenario is Ambrose being underneath Sheamus. If he's going to turn heel, he should do it because he's going for the belt himself. Letting Sheamus take it doesn't really seem like something Dean would do.
4. I'd definitely start the process of seeing if he's able to come back. Him actually winning the Rumble this year and/or headlining WM32 would be a big shot in the arm WWE needs.
5. I really wonder what happens if USA does demand change. Their ideas could easily be along the lines of "use Vince/HHH/Stephanie, former stars, and guest hosts more." The higher-ups there aren't wrestling people in the sense of "give HHH the reins and build new stars." They're TV people and want big TV spectacles like guest stars and big crazy soap opera angles. I might be totally misreading them, but based on history, I think the last thing we need is intervention from USA. Change needs to come from within, which is obviously much easier said than done.
Sadly, it's not as easy as "put HHH in charge." There's a whole system that needs to change for WWE to get out of its funk. It won't happen overnight, but they can start as soon as tonight's Raw.
More wrestling tomorrow.
