Honestly very tho! Most of the guys that he mentioned (Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, Chad Gable, LA knight, Jey uso) were all heels when Papa H took over a year back and now they're the most over babyfaces!! it's finally cool to support the good guys now and they're not corny or cringe...
And people think Punk wouldn't fit in just because he got booed by Elite Fanboys in AEW. If he can overcome his attitude problems, i don't see a problem with the guy being here.
LA Knight has got to be greatest turnaround in history. The guy was humiliated, put is a goofy feud, has had few credible opponents and he is still getting insane reactions.
i think the thing that helped this whole thing happen was the pandemic itself. people had to stop attending to wrestling shows for over a year, so when everything went back to normal, people slowly started to appreciate it more and more. because they felt on their own skin that in any given moment it can be taken away from them. and not being able to participate in the event is even worse than being there and not liking it. and also Triple H taking over the creative and letting wrestlers be who they want to be helps them get over naturally. WWE stopped cutting wrestlers short when they get over. they don't focus on a single top guy anymore, they want (and need) to build new stars for years to come, so they HAVE TO let them do their thing and become the best version of themselves. all of it combined with a spirit of competition with AEW makes this era probably the best one since the 90s. it's a great time to be a wrestling fan!
i def agree w you. the crowds have gotten better and i've started to notice that a lot of them bring signs to shows again. pandemic era and summer 2022 literally saved the wwe
I've been watching my whole life, born in 06, and this is the most invested I've ever been. They're really doing a great job. People used to say we just wanted a reason to hate but modern WWE is proof that we had very good reasons to hate back then and we that we just wanted WWE to be great again. I just hope vince and endeavor stay hands off for the most part
Ironically another reason babyfaces are so popular is because of Roman. The Tribal Chief is the ultimate heel character that makes you cheer for his opponent in the hope that they can dethrone him; Drew, Sami, KO, Cody, Jey. Roman couldn't be the babyface WWE wanted, so he became the heel WWE needs to make credible babyfaces. Respect👏👏
Ngl, Gunther vs Chad Gable kinda reminds me of Roman vs Cody but for the IC championship, Gunther being the sadistic heel and Chad Gable being the beloved face, Not to mention their previous match on RAW perfectly resembles the match Cody and Roman had at WrestleMania.
@@mehr7ad Imperium attacked Alpha Academy before their first two matches started, lol. And Kaiser started arguing with the ref as a distraction in their second match. They're still cheating scumbags, lol.
@@MAriomcmahon1I disagreed till you clarified in your second comment. You might actually be right. The only other era that cokes close is ruthless aggression but like you said, no one cared about the mid card back then. Now the whole show is good besides the constant video packages and even then, I do enjoy video packages before PPV matches
LA Knight got himself over by losing every week, battling with Hit Row every week, and half the time being the dark segment…i don’t want people to say he is like the rock or stone cold cause those two were pushed, LA Knight was literally being pushed down every week
Rock was pushed hard, Austin was not, Austin was given a bad gimmick od the ring master, they did not let him speak and gave him Ted DiBease to be his mouth piece. It wasnt until Ted left, they let him speak because they stopped caring and they wemt with Austin after Triple H took part of the curtain collar and lost his spot. Steve Austin is the beat comparison for Knight because both where saddles with bad gimmicks where they didnt talk, and because of circumstances unrelated to him had been gicen a chance to speak and get pushed
@@TimeBomb014X True. Both guys were initially given a gimmick that they're not really comfortable with, and then soon after they were given another chance to sort of rebrand themselves into something that reflected their personalities more -- new personas that they're more comfortable with... And from that they started to rise and become fan favorites. The only difference is, at least Austin has his signature "rebel employee vs evil boss" storyline... LA at the moment has none. So imagine if he's also given that same level of storyline where he would be able to make himself shine more, then imagine how much bigger of a superstar LA would become.
@@terrorazeing none of the current talent would of reached rock levels except maybe sasha banks. also most of the guys they held back like ryder were already old and still being held back for no reason.
We are in the peak of our genereation, guys, let's appreciate it while it's going! This is the golden era we're going to miss in somewhere down the line.
I think the heels are so good in todays era that when you have a good baby face involved in the storyline it makes you cheer. Gunther is so Dominant that the rivalry with Gable made Gable look like a believable baby face to beat Gunther it seemed like Daniel Bryan type babyface where a smaller guy who knows how to wrestle can possibly beat the unbeatable force. Now Cody just got it, it’s like a modern Golden Era type babyface from his gear to his promos and his entrance he just someone you can’t help but cheer! Cody may have failed in AEW he’s the reason behind their success but it’s like his gimmick was made for a WWE babyface. And LA Knight is just like a modern Rock/Austin hybrid but with his own unique style and even if he seems similar to The Rock he still seems unique in his own way, he’s got IT
LA Knight got me back into professional wrestling, since a month before money in the bank I knew that guy had something wwe missed for a while, so glad to see him slowly climb up the ladder lately
They don't want another rock who is bigger than WWE and leaves for Hollywood's for more money that's why they didn't push anyone except the one they like.
@@hiddendagger7291 Those guys left for Hollywood when they were pushing 40, lol. Rock first left when he was 30 years old, in the middle of his prime. You're lost a generational talent with at least a decade at the top still left in him, of course WWE isn't gonna risk that again. That's why they didn't have an issue with Cena or Batista, because they left WWE when they were 40+ and already had spent a decade at the top of the card. Rock was a top guy for like 5 years, in comparison.
one reason this theory dont make sense is if reigns leaves for hollywood they have no stars.. surely you built a bunch of stars so if rock (roman) leaves you still have stone cold etc to takeover? @@raulojeda8567
it was mostly cause him and becky seemed like super cena couple which fans hate and still do. anything corporate that vince is pushing feels cheap fake etc. that roman bianca belair feel. seths new character doesnt feel like the company guy.
One of the things that makes a great baby face is emotion. So many WWE baby faces were emotionless. They always just shrug off trouble and smile. It’s why Daniel Bryan worked so well. When heels would mess with him he’d get pissed off and wouldn’t just take it.
Don't forget the fractions, its not just random all of them has got a great story behind, if Bloodline was still active, I'd love a match between them and hurt Business or Judgement day at survivor series.
WWE is easily the best now that it's been since the early 2000s. There's obviously been bright periods in the intervening years, but I'm just as interested in new WWE shows as I was back when they had two shows that were literally distilled from the top talent of three companies.
@@topdawg2916 There were a few wrestlers then that I think are some of the highest tier GOAT contenders like Kurt Angle, Y2J, and HBK, but as an overall show I'd put current WWE at least on the same level as ~2003-~2006.
@@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva wwe 2003 to 2006 on both shows was way better creative wise story wise plus the roster was the best it’s been during that time especially in 2003
@@topdawg2916 The highlights of that period were the Brock-Angle rivalry, Jeff Hardy and Booker T's brief pushes (that didn't end satisfyingly), JBL and his cabinet, Eddie and Benoit's then later Cena and Batista's rises to the top, Legend Killer Orton, and ECW One Night Stand. Really strong highlights but I would definitely say a few current stories are as entertaining if not more than those, and the in-ring stuff is definitely on average better. A good way to compare them is that a guy who's genuinely comparable to Kurt Angle, Chad Gable, is _not_ the far and away best wrestler on the roster. There's like 15 guys as good as if not better than him, and that's not a knock against Gable but a point on how stacked the roster currently is.
@@thatsbetterYeah, you were on crack, lmao. Summerslam 2022 is where this generational run started-coincidentally, just a month after Vince stepped down.
The Undertaker was also known as "The Big Dog" at some point in his career... guess WWE tried to pick up from there but they just couldn't understand it's not 2002 anymore
Wwe has been looking for this level and number of top guys since the beginning of the 2010’s when they were trying with people like sheamus, kofi, wade barret, McIntyre, Swagger, and many others. After like 12-13 years they’ve finally got it
In the grand scheme of things, babyfaces are more important than the heels, and now that WWE is actually acting like that again, they are much more fun to watch.
It started with Austin. Not cm punk. I know cause I was there lol. But cm punk was def a reinforcement of this. People like anti hero’s, like vegeta or venom.
WWE has so many legit potential world champions including Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and LA Knight. I can't remember a time when it was like this since the late 2000s.
Becky Lynch is another example. She turned heel, but eventually had to turn face again. Oddly enough, Charlotte Flair seems to work as a babyface now against Damage Ctrl and it might work against a heel Bianca Belair too if she does turn. In Damage Ctrl, either Iyo Sky or Bailey will turn face before WrestleMania and whoever it is will get mega over when it happens. I think there's a very new trend amongst wrestling fans, cheering for the good guys and booing the bad guys. What a revolutionary concept!
GreatOne I think you should also make a video on WWE finally having good factions the judgment day, the bloodline, imperum etc. Back in like 2010-2011 we only had Nexus
Whati realize I could be wrong because I just started watching wrestling again in 2022. If they start off as heels they make better babyfaces. And if they are babyfaces they are going to be better heels
The reason why the baby faces are likeable is cuz they're real and relatable. No Hulkamania or Hustle Loyalty Respect, not shitting on these gimmicks they fit them well but doesn't fit everyone. They were forcing baby face characters on us but not anymore.
@bigjohncena6986 he was segments with stars such as rollins and reigns. This does not mean everything, but he was in the ring with top stars and would have a match with Kurt in wrestlemania instead of korbin.
Haven’t enjoyed wrestling this much since 2005. I dropped out in 07 for 15 years until I heard vince left, decided to check it and I’ve been enjoying it since
Now we can Say : Thanks you triple H. Because if it was for Vince well.... Maybe LA KNIGHT would be fired, Chad Gable will be a jobber, Jey Uso will go after another tag team title run with Jimmy, the LWO won't probably happen because Rey will still teaming up with his son, Sami Zayn will have another random feud and Kevin Owens maybe will have another heel turn 😂
If you were a Wrestler! Would you want to be a BabyFace or Heel? What would be your gimmick? What would be your wrestling style? What would be your catchphrase?
On one hand, I'd like the idea of being that hero, inspirational character people want to get behind and kids can look up to. But on the other hands, it's too fun to play the villain role, especially since you can let loose a little more I don't know. I guess I'd be a face The kind that's aloof and standoffish, clearly not there to make friends, but will help you when needed and stands for what's right. My style would be calculated striker with fast-paced style. And my catch phrase would be, "That's all it takes."
I would definitely be a combination of shawn michaels and cm punk. Outspoken and outrageous but also a flamboyant showman, I would probably start off as a heel we'll see where it goes 🤷🏿♂️
Heel, gimmick: cool black suit dude, style: tehnician/striker, Goodbye phrase: see yaaa bi**es, Hello phrase: your papa is hereee and i am going to tell you a story
Fun fact : Cody Rhodes outsold John Cena in merch sales at Payback, LA Knight was 3rd by a minor difference. Its crazy to think that there are current superstars as over as John freaking Cena.
Okay WWE has got IT right now. The problem wasn't WWE it was Vince running literally everything we hated it because it became repetitive. Triple H and the Endeavor writers have it on lock though💯
I always thought Cody Rhodes cannot be Babyface long enough and everyone will get bored and turn on him, but his run has been amazing so far. I hope he does something with Randy Orton and Million Dollar Man for good ol nostalgia.
Talking about faces but what about no. of biggest heels who is making fans so angry and frustrated Roman, Nakamura, Austin theory, bobby, Logan, Gunther, The Miz, and one of the biggest heel Dominic.
I’ve always loved the USOs since I was young I took a break from wrestling from like 2017-2020 I came back because of Jey Vs Roman by god that was the best one of the best decisions I’ve made because the bloodline story line has to be one of my favourite things from the WWE in a very long time
I think you underestimate how many people believed in gable. I don’t know a single person who thought Jason was gonna be the successful one. Everyone knew gable could be the next big thing
The reason we have so many likable babyfaces because we have tremendous heels like Roman Reigns and Dominic Mysterio. After Edge and Randy Orton back in Ruthless Aggression era, this is the first time we got such great heels. Without Darkness you cannot appreciate Brightness.
These faces are great we get every type of babyface too. Cody is kinda like the face who couldn't do anything else Seth is kinda like Shawn Michaels as a face after his return LA Knight is kinda like the badass babyface
I know nowadays everyone wants to be the cool heel like, but heels like Dominik, Gunther, and Roman are so good at being heels whether if it's you just wanting to see them get dethrone like Gunther and Roman or just want to see them get beat up like Dom it helps the babyfaces. Even though it's good to have a cool heel like Rhea for example, but you see with Raquel it doesn't really help the babyface.
5 years ago, during Vince's reign, people were criticizing WWE for its inability to create new stars. Fast forward now in 2023, and WWE produced more Main Event Talent organically than it ever did.
Yet there are still always gonna be some baby faces that people are still going to clamor for them to make a heel turn. Like Belair and McIntyre jump out at me immediately.
I think we need a huge unexpected event to Catalyze everything. As much as no one likes to admit the Screwjob made the attitude era, Stone Cold used that to turn McMahon into the greatest heel of the attitude era. I’m not asking for something as controversial as that. But simply LA or Cody winning a belt eventually isn’t enough, gotta be a nuclear bomb of an event. I’m ready for it. The last two years have felt like kindling for this sweet fire of talent and promos and more and more of the roster I want to see weekly, or excited to see. Hell, Gable went from Meh, personality to me to after this string of matches with Gunther earned my respect. Anyone have any fantasy booking ideas of what kind of event that could catalyze the new era into a coherent and legit next level? Just spitballing here.
Not sure if that even could be done it would probably have to happen once the bloodline story is done if I’m being honest I think something big but that probably shouldn’t happen would be a Cody Rhodes heel turn a few months after he wins the undisputed universal title then being put into a huge feud with someone they can build up who has a lot of potential like Gable.
I have no idea but you’re on to something I was JUST thinking the samething. They need that one era defining moment that launches them into a whole new atmosphere its slowly cooking.
@@MauiMax Hell yeah. We all “generally” want a fresh long term era and hell, a couple of long term fresh baby faces to be headlining champions. Pandemic era, the ‘Bloodline’ era is getting cringe and stale. We wanna see a couple more matches, and then close that chapter and don’t look back. I also feel, this fresh turn the 3H era is taking needs something equally fresh. We all know Cody will get a belt and finish the story. It’s cool. It’s good story telling. LA may get a world belt too a little further down the line. But they need nuclear heat in the way VKM was for Austin. Like biblical heat. Their baby face roster is thankfully fleshing out… but they need heels you can really hate. Dom’s okay. He’s kind of stereotypically bad. Which fits the bill. He’s working. I LOOVE where they are taking Shinsuke. I want him to be like old Samauri movie bad. Like Throne of Blood bad guy. Insane bad you can never trust. That would kick him towards a HOF run I’d love to watch. Anyway, I’m just rambling. I really want the new era to succeed. Haven’t been this excited for wrestling in years, and it just needs to shake the stagnation with something era defining. Not sure what it is, but, yeah! WWE has been defined by lament and stagnation and disappointment for way too long. The TV-14 is a start. Anyway, I’m Excited to see it unfold. 🙏
funny how half of the baby face got their acknowledgement cuz of involvement in the bloodline saga. Roman might not be the baby face but he is THE heel
The lesson is: don't make the talent a babyface. Let the babyface come to the talent
Lmao
Learn the babyface, feel the babyface, become the babyface - some Sensei
basically let a guy be heel so he has a personality and then just turn him face. boom ez profit.

Legitimately have multiple top stars and interesting stuff happening in the midcard … crazy how things played out after 2020 lol
The reason why the baby faces are likeable is cuz they're real and relatable. No Hulkamania or Hustle Loyalty Respect, not shitting on these gimmicks they fit them well but doesn't fit everyone. They were forcing baby face characters on us but not anymore.
Don't forget Sami Zayn in the babyfaces in the thumbnail
Triple H is definitely the reason
FAXX
Jason jordan comment was cheap. Guys career ended because of injury. He worked as backstage guy but idk if he still does.
He's their best producer
true but the whole kurts son storyline would of ruined him imo.
@bigjohncena6986 he was segments with stars such as rollins and reigns. This does not mean everything, but he was in the ring with top stars and would have a match with Kurt in wrestlemania instead of korbin.
Let’s go another great one upload
Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, Seth Rollins and Dominic Mysterio has the hottest crowd at the moment.
Haven’t enjoyed wrestling this much since 2005. I dropped out in 07 for 15 years until I heard vince left, decided to check it and I’ve been enjoying it since
Ngl chad gable vs Brock Lesnar would go super hard
If Brock is on board he will sell like a million dollars. If the guy believes in you he really goes into bat for you. If he doesn't... yikes.
0:00 I see now. Thank you

"Hustle Loyalty Respect Crap"
- The Great One
Now we can Say : Thanks you triple H.
Because if it was for Vince well.... Maybe LA KNIGHT would be fired, Chad Gable will be a jobber, Jey Uso will go after another tag team title run with Jimmy, the LWO won't probably happen because Rey will still teaming up with his son, Sami Zayn will have another random feud and Kevin Owens maybe will have another heel turn 😂
If you were a Wrestler! Would you want to be a BabyFace or Heel? What would be your gimmick? What would be your wrestling style? What would be your catchphrase?
monkey
Need some time to think on that one
On one hand, I'd like the idea of being that hero, inspirational character people want to get behind and kids can look up to. But on the other hands, it's too fun to play the villain role, especially since you can let loose a little more
I don't know. I guess I'd be a face The kind that's aloof and standoffish, clearly not there to make friends, but will help you when needed and stands for what's right. My style would be calculated striker with fast-paced style. And my catch phrase would be, "That's all it takes."
I would definitely be a combination of shawn michaels and cm punk. Outspoken and outrageous but also a flamboyant showman, I would probably start off as a heel we'll see where it goes 🤷🏿♂️
Heel, gimmick: cool black suit dude, style: tehnician/striker, Goodbye phrase: see yaaa bi**es, Hello phrase: your papa is hereee and i am going to tell you a story
Fun fact : Cody Rhodes outsold John Cena in merch sales at Payback, LA Knight was 3rd by a minor difference. Its crazy to think that there are current superstars as over as John freaking Cena.
Get this trending, we need a Cena vs Punk at the next WrestleMania!
Okay WWE has got IT right now. The problem wasn't WWE it was Vince running literally everything we hated it because it became repetitive. Triple H and the Endeavor writers have it on lock though💯
Kurt Angle should endorse Chad Gable
I always thought Cody Rhodes cannot be Babyface long enough and everyone will get bored and turn on him, but his run has been amazing so far. I hope he does something with Randy Orton and Million Dollar Man for good ol nostalgia.
And the heels actually get booed like heels should for example
Dominik, Logan Paul, Jimmy Uso, Waller, Theory etc
0:37 funniest part
ULTIMATE HEEL DOMINIC
1:45 and it almost feel like he is talking out of his as-- heart.. He is talking out of his heart. Lmao
LA knight yeahhh ❤
🗣️Yeah❗
@@Medazis LA JOBBER YEAHHH
Is it just me or does
Chad Gable VS Gunther
reminds me of
Kurt Angle VS Brock Lesnar
We also need to remember that chad gable overcame the whole shorty g shit
I think Most people hated seth back in 2019 because of his twitter
After the chad gable promo Last night his feud with gunther reminds me of miz and zigler in 2017
Wrestling revival since the Attitude Era
Talking about faces but what about no. of biggest heels who is making fans so angry and frustrated Roman, Nakamura, Austin theory, bobby, Logan, Gunther, The Miz, and one of the biggest heel Dominic.
I’ve always loved the USOs since I was young I took a break from wrestling from like 2017-2020 I came back because of Jey Vs Roman by god that was the best one of the best decisions I’ve made because the bloodline story line has to be one of my favourite things from the WWE in a very long time
I believe Cody could make a great heel for a simple reason that he bears a striking resemblance to Homelander.
Man i am so happy i can finally say i am proud to be a wrestling fan
The great one is the only that says “remember to like and subscribe” and i react. Good sh!t ✊🏿
1:47 already had me crying 😂
I agree. This is prob the most fun I've had watching WWE in years.
Interesting topic. I had realized how stacked the rosters are recently but I didn't realize how many baby faces there was
I like how most of thm have something to do with Roman🤣🤣🤣... dude is such a great heel
FACE OF WRESTLING FOR A REASON☝🏻
Real OG's remember the first Big Dog was Big Evil.
I think you underestimate how many people believed in gable. I don’t know a single person who thought Jason was gonna be the successful one. Everyone knew gable could be the next big thing
You don't know anybody, period, lol. You're on crack if you think Jordan didn't have the bigger rocket strapped to his back.
@@greatnessdelton1381 I know a lot of people who have been in the business for decades
LA Knight front and center opposite the man he will dethrone at WM40!
The reason we have so many likable babyfaces because we have tremendous heels like Roman Reigns and Dominic Mysterio. After Edge and Randy Orton back in Ruthless Aggression era, this is the first time we got such great heels.
Without Darkness you cannot appreciate Brightness.
These faces are great we get every type of babyface too.
Cody is kinda like the face who couldn't do anything else
Seth is kinda like Shawn Michaels as a face after his return
LA Knight is kinda like the badass babyface
Cody is like Cena
Seth is like Shawn Michaels like you said
LA Knight is like the Rock / Stone Cold
We haven’t had this many top face stars probably since the early 2000’s
I know nowadays everyone wants to be the cool heel like, but heels like Dominik, Gunther, and Roman are so good at being heels whether if it's you just wanting to see them get dethrone like Gunther and Roman or just want to see them get beat up like Dom it helps the babyfaces. Even though it's good to have a cool heel like Rhea for example, but you see with Raquel it doesn't really help the babyface.
When they first said Jason Jordan is Kurt's son, I tought he finally did what he said he will to Booker T's wife
Oh man I’d love to see you do a heel video! 🧡
We got Roman, Gunther, Judgment Day, Grayson Waller 😘 & more!
Chad is the man
5 years ago, during Vince's reign, people were criticizing WWE for its inability to create new stars. Fast forward now in 2023, and WWE produced more Main Event Talent organically than it ever did.
Yet there are still always gonna be some baby faces that people are still going to clamor for them to make a heel turn. Like Belair and McIntyre jump out at me immediately.
I think we need a huge unexpected event to
Catalyze everything. As much as no one likes to admit the Screwjob made the attitude era, Stone Cold used that to turn McMahon into the greatest heel of the attitude era. I’m not asking for something as controversial as that. But simply LA or Cody winning a belt eventually isn’t enough, gotta be a nuclear bomb of an event.
I’m ready for it. The last two years have felt like kindling for this sweet fire of talent and promos and more and more of the roster I want to see weekly, or excited to see.
Hell, Gable went from Meh, personality to me to after this string of matches with Gunther earned my respect.
Anyone have any fantasy booking ideas of what kind of event that could catalyze the new era into a coherent and legit next level?
Just spitballing here.
Not sure if that even could be done it would probably have to happen once the bloodline story is done if I’m being honest I think something big but that probably shouldn’t happen would be a Cody Rhodes heel turn a few months after he wins the undisputed universal title then being put into a huge feud with someone they can build up who has a lot of potential like Gable.
I have no idea but you’re on to something I was JUST thinking the samething. They need that one era defining moment that launches them into a whole new atmosphere its slowly cooking.
@@MauiMax Hell yeah. We all “generally” want a fresh long term era and hell, a couple of long term fresh baby faces to be headlining champions. Pandemic era, the ‘Bloodline’ era is getting cringe and stale. We wanna see a couple more matches, and then close that chapter and don’t look back.
I also feel, this fresh turn the 3H era is taking needs something equally fresh. We all know Cody will get a belt and finish the story. It’s cool. It’s good story telling. LA may get a world belt too a little further down the line. But they need nuclear heat in the way VKM was for Austin. Like biblical heat. Their baby face roster is thankfully fleshing out… but they need heels you can really hate. Dom’s okay. He’s kind of stereotypically bad. Which fits the bill. He’s working.
I LOOVE where they are taking Shinsuke. I want him to be like old Samauri movie bad. Like Throne of Blood bad guy. Insane bad you can never trust. That would kick him towards a HOF run I’d love to watch.
Anyway, I’m just rambling. I really want the new era to succeed. Haven’t been this excited for wrestling in years, and it just needs to shake the stagnation with something era defining.
Not sure what it is, but, yeah! WWE has been defined by lament and stagnation and disappointment for way too long.
The TV-14 is a start. Anyway, I’m
Excited to see it unfold. 🙏
@@Promethazin3 For sure. I like the creative thinking. Most definitely!
Just LA Knight dethroning Roman at WM40.
funny how half of the baby face got their acknowledgement cuz of involvement in the bloodline saga. Roman might not be the baby face but he is THE heel
WWE is at its finest when not listening to the fickle fans .
Wtfffff I remember THE AMERICAN ALPHA. Never knew the second member was Chad Gable.
It has a lot to do with Vince being out of the way!
That jumpscare dog 😢
I think the biggest reason is that roman is heel now with goat story.
And its automatically helping faces..
The last time wwe was more likeable was back in 2016... Especially SmackDown
