I'm thinking Seth holds on to the MITB for awhile. They are obviously doing Cena/Brock at Summer Slam with Brock more than likely winning. I don't see him cashing it in on another heel so it could be awhile.
If Daniel Bryan was to come back and win the title and Seth cashed in on him, that would get Seth some nuclear heat. It would also be a fantastic feud.
It's too bad WWE creative isn't this smart, I love the idea though. If Bryan were to come back and be as over as he was (which I guess is possible) they'd have to put the belt back on him, and if Rollins can prove to be a good heel, to have him come out and cash in on Bryan would be incredible. Just from an athletic standpoint, watching some matches between them would be excellent. A lot of this could only happen though if Rollins can prove to be a guy who can get consistent heat from the crowd and can work them well when he's on the mic. If this scenario plays out though, I'd start tuning into WWE regularly again, I'd love to see this feud.
I really don't know what to think ATM - but I'm sick of TNA hot-shotting the belt to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Just pick a guy, and stick with 'im!
TNA is still around Last I heard they let a majority of their talent go.
LOL, no they're still around, surprisingly enough.
To be fair though, I've enjoyed Impact Wrestling recently. They're pushing a lot of new talent like EC3 and Rockstar Spud (who are both awesome), Kenny King, Gunner, Sanada (though he's going back to Wrestle-1 soon), Tigre Uno, The Bromans, The Wolves, Bram, Samuel Shaw - and Drew McIntyre has supposedly signed with them. I'm also digging James Storm's heel run - and unlike the majority of the internet, I actually liked Eric Young's title reign.
From what I've read, the New York shows were really great (the six-sided ring returned), and this year's Bound for Glory will be held in Tokyo - which has me quite excited, actually.
Honestly, I haven't watched WWE in weeks (besides NXT, which is great). Sure, TNA has a lot of crap... But, I just can't stand WWE ATM. It's the same crap over and over and over again, and Cena's title win has just further reinforced this notion.
Best in the World '14 (ROH's first PPV) was a success with 10,000 buys; which is especially impressive, given that ROH had only two weeks to promote the event.
The event saw Michael Elgin defeat Adam Cole to become the new ROH Champion, as well as Bad Influence debuting against reDRagon.
Nice to see a great, wrestling-focused company like Ring of Honor slowly get better and better in the TV/PPV landscape.
I'm pumped for AJ vs Paige tonight... I have wanted this match ever since I first saw Paige on NXT. I'm not counting those 30 second long matches they had all ready...
Well I was disappointed that the Ambrose Rollins match didn't happen. Why would they cancel a fight like that after building it up?
Also can someone please clue me in as to what WWE gains now by keeping Cena champ over say like giving the belt to Reigns? I just don't get there thinking.

Brock vs Cena at SS was all ready set to happen.
It was not a good PPV at all. The main event felt more like a Raw or SD main event then a PPV...
They were clearly just trying to get that PPV out of the way and get ready for SS.
I don't think Battleground was as good as Money In The Bank or Payback by any means, but it had its good parts. The opening tag match was Match of the Year candidate in my opinion. I thought the main event was still pretty good, and the Battle Royal and Jericho/Wyatt matches were solid as well. The Rusev/Swagger match was better than I expected, but the ending ruined it for me. I expected Paige vs. AJ Lee to be better, and I hope they give them a little more time at Summerslam. Heel Paige is definitely a good thing.
I'm excited about Summerslam. I'm definitely okay with Brock Lesnar being champ for a little while as long as he's around more, but I'm not sure he will be. Hopefully, they worked out a deal to include a few more appearances along the way. I'm even more excited to see a true Ambrose/Rollins match at SS. That should steal the show no doubt!
TMZ is reporting that Impact Wrestling's television contract will not be renewed by Spike TV, effectively cancelling TNA's flagship show once the current contract ends.
Dixie Carter says they're still in negotiations with Spike to continue the contract, but who knows if that's legit or not?!? I'm not a huge follower of TNA, but I think it's a pretty big mistake on Spike's part to discontinue the weekly show. It's nowhere near as popular as WWE, but it still gets over 1 million viewers a week and has been up a bit lately. They won't be able to put anything in its place that will get any better rating. TNA may be asking for too much money, I'm not sure. I'd like to know the entire story.. I don't want to see TNA fold though.
There's a big rumour doing the rounds that Spike dropped Impact Wrestling because of Vince Russo. Namely, TNA hired him, when Spike explicitly told them not to.
If that's true... Then, wow. I knew Dixie was an idiot... But she seriously cannot be THAT stupid.
On another note, there was another rumour that Sinclair were looking to sell ROH - but this is thankfully not true.
ATM, it looks like ROH, New Japan and GFW will be the only viable alternatives to WWE.

From what I've read, re-runs of COPS actually does better ratings than Impact Wrestling...
Matt Morgan just stated on Twitter that TNA's advertising has always been horrendous - but I think everyone knows that!
