    With word on the street that Cesaros contract is coming up, I can only hope this being 3 down nonsense is unrelated...

    Could incorporate it into a story. The best of seven series isn't really gonna be the start of a big push for either man so why not let Seamus win the series, have Foley/Steph bring up his contract which runs out soon and they wanna renegotiate it but offer him less then what he earns now because obviously his stock has fallen lately. Keep him off screen for a week or two and then have him come out at the October Smackdown ppv or weekly show to announce he's had a better offer and is SD's newest signing.

    The best of 7 series got stale very fast. I think the lack of stipulations for each seperate match has ruined it. In fairness though they still have time to get it right

    I'm really enjoying the best of 7 series. Think the matches have been very good and each match sets up the next one nicely. They said the next match is in London on Wednesday night.

    I'm not really sure why Seth Rollins is a babyface. Had HHH helped him win the title he would have taken it so he just comes across as jealous, plus he has been given a title opportunity that hasn't been earned.

    I also don't understand Bayley beating Charlotte, use of a tag match / 6 person tag would make more sense.

    Kevin Owens first night as champ could have been so much better IMO and his feud vs Rollins hasn’t gotten off to the brightest start it could.

    This whole Hunter/Steph side story is more McMahon grand standing and it takes away the spotlight of it. While it may not be “The Authority” , the focus being on Steph, Foley and Hunter takes away from building Owens as the top heel and Rollins as the top face.

    Dont get me wrong, initially it looks promising. Having Owens go off on one seemed to be doing a good job at getting crowd heat, however as soon as Rollins came out it got muddled and Steph and Foley became more prominent. Owens took a backseat and not hiding behind Steph or whining to Steph. He should be challenging her and putting it up to her if anything. Hes close to playing the same type of heel as Seth was during his run as champ (complaining, cowardly heel who played second fiddle to the authority). He should be the focus to establish himself as champ. I would of loved him to decimate Sami after his victory.

    Rollins is over, and hes being positioned as a face here yet he’s still coming off as a whiney bitch (for lack of better words). The fans want to get behind him, hes over yet hes still portrayed as a man who wants Stephaines approval.

    WWE seem McMahons are the only people who can get stuff over without question. From their thinking, the Diva's Revolution had to have Stephaine involved and it couldnt possible get over without it. Seth Rollins couldnt get over as a heel without the McMahons either according to them. Why do they feel the need to always be involved.

    I cannot buy Strowman as a monster. He just doesn't look scary, his face is way too babyish, and the beard just makes it look kinda absurd. I think once he starts going against people he can't squash outright, the whole thing will really start to fall apart. Similar story to Nia I suppose, though I think that's more that she feels like a less polished Awesome Kong.

    For the first time I am actually interested in the authority feuds, unlike Shane v Steph, the Foley/Steph/Triple H thing is interesting to me.

    Mainly because of Foley and the way they have had him look like a strong guy not afraid of the McMahon who he knows is really in charge.

    Explaining how he was told he could make matches and he wants Steph to stand by her words, that he wants to have a top guy working instead of on the shelf, giving good reasons for her to trust his judgement was well done.
