Do you guys think these NXT wrestlers will make their debut by the end of the year? I know that Mason Ryan was on the main roster at one point, but could possibly see him doing well if they keep Evolution going for a while.

I think Mason Ryan won't be back until Batista takes a break or leaves for good. He looks just like him. Too bad Chris Masters is gone, I think he'd be a good 4th wheel in the rebirth of Evolution.

Egolution shouldn't have even reformed. This is Hunter's way of getting the Shield over as faces. Orton's faced the Shield before, but HHH & Bats haven't. They're not adding a 4th wheel, not when Stephanie will be the valet for the team in the short term.

Also, based on what I read of the last Raw, Kane is in fact out as DoO, hence going back to the mask and the red tights. Working in dress clothes didn't do anything for him anymore than it did for Cody Rhodes a couple of years ago. Egolution will be history again before the year's out.

Missed WWE Main Event and didn't notice they made Hornswoggle a heel. I don't know how I feel about this yet.

Nix to that. 'Swoggle was subbing for Heath Slater, who'd gone on the Saudi Arabia tour w/o his partners.

I can't tell from the Ultimate Warrior tribute video, but is CM Punk on the left side of Big Show or is this another superstar. I really can't tell from the video.

This is from an article that WWE.com posted about 8 predictions for WM 31.

John Cena will join The Wyatt Family
* Roman Reigns will win the 2015 Royal Rumble Match
* The WWE World Heavyweight Championship will be split back into two titles
* Stephanie McMahon will target the Divas Championship
* Zeb Colter will form a stable of Real Americans
* Cody Rhodes will win (and cash in) Money in the Bank
* Cesaro will break away from Paul Heyman and challenge Brock Lesnar
* The Undertaker will retire

Most definitely not Punk.

* Cesaro will break away from Paul Heyman and challenge Brock Lesnar
* The Undertaker will retire

The last three seem more likely to happen than the others, Cesaro especially, because they are doing a slow face turn for him. Putting him with Heyman stalls the turn.

Bryan is scheduled for raw tonight but I wouldn't b surprised if he don't show up BC wwe announced the Bryan's father passed away earlier today
