Triple Z writes about WWE and it's injury filled roster and how WWE is managing to create excitement around the Royal Rumble. WWE has a huge injury list right now. Let's name a few,
The Boss is Back. Vince McMahon Returned to RAWVince McMahon is not only the Chairman of WWE. Vince McMahon is a popular character people love to see on their TV's. After Roman Reigns attacked Triple H, Stephanie McMahon had to enlist help of her father to stop Roman Reigns. Realistically they could have already fired Roman Reigns and stripped the title off them, but in a villainous McMahon way they are making Roman Reigns "suffer the consequences." Vince McMahon is making Roman Reigns defend the title in the Royal Rumble. That is a huge deal! WWE the last couple of years has struggled with getting the correct reaction at the Royal Rumble. This year they are seeking a "heel" reaction. The logical thing would have Roman Reigns get eliminated early. Why you may ask? It adds more suspicion and build up to who could be the new champion. Having Roman Reigns in the match for a long period of time is predictable. Having him in the last five guys and then getting eliminated first would be crazy. NJPW Royal Rumble RumorsThe last couple of weeks have been crazy for WWE fans that also enjoy NJPW. Countless Wrestling News outlets were reporting WWE had contacted AJ Styles to appear in the Royal Rumble. WWE thought that Orlando (the city hosting the Royal Rumble) would have a huge pop for AJ Styles because he previously worked for TNA who did countless TV tapings in Orlando. The situation would evolve and get more interesting. The same Wrestling News outlets would report that WWE offered Doc Gallows (formerly known as Luke Gallows, and before that Festus), "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson, and "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura WWE contracts. After the reports, WWE-NXT talent Finn Balor took to social media to tease a "Bullet Club" reunion. The Bullet Club was a infamous faction developed by Balor back when he had a run with New Japan Pro Wrestling. After Finn Balor left the company, AJ Styles would join the Bullet Club and be the self proclaimed leader. Even though Nakamura was not apart of the Bullet Club, many NXT talents have good relationship with him. Styles was working a indy event over the weekend and teased his presence to be at the Royal Rumble. Fans have been anticipating the debuts of NJPW stars at the Royal Rumble. The only one of the four men that can't debut at the Royal Rumble is Shinsuke Nakamura who needs a work visa, so he won't be heading to NXT until April. The Social OutcastsI am not even joking. I think the creation of the Social Outcasts is great. It gives underutilized talent like Adam Rose and Curtis Axel a chance to show their skills. Having them challenge the Wyatt Family might not seem like a big deal but it was fun to watch. This also shows what WWE has been trying to develop while dealing with a shortened roster. Plus WWE is lacking comedy. Other then the New Day who else can come out and be comical? SmackDown Could Become More PromisingWith the addition of Mauro Ranallo on commentary. Having a new network showcase your talent. That is already two plusses to the recent change with SmackDown. Mauro Ranallo is actually calling the action and reminds me of a legit announcer similar to Jim Ross. Ranallo has reenergized Jerry Lawler into becoming a better heel commentator just like the olden days. Byron Saxton is the odd man out honestly should be sent back to NXT or Main Event. Hopefully WWE keeps utilizing Smackdown because just tuning in for the commentary is a start. Kalisto, The Latin American Star WWE Wanted and NeededDespite already losing the U.S Title on SmackDown to a struggling Alberto Del Rio. Kalisto is showing some promise and his crowd reactions are getting louder and louder. After the departure of Rey Mysterio, WWE was searching long and hard for a latino baby face. We all thought Alberto Del Rio was going to be that guy but sadly he was jacked around and doesn't show a lot of excitement. Kalisto will be a superstar to watch during the Road to WrestleMania.

Best blog by you in a while. Great points too. WWE has a real chance here to get fresh energy. They learn so much on the past and part timers that they reverse progress of the new. Their audience today is not the same as it was 10 years ago. Hopefully they are recognizing that.

Well it's never the same without the man, but I too like the moves that are happening. I just hope they don't screw up the Bullet Club
