Braun is a LOT leaner than his first WWE run. I doubt he does his previous schtick. As for Fish, yeah he'll be joining the Diamond Mine of that's still a thing.

I never cared for Braun and the WWE didn't do much to make me care. They booked him silly from nearly the start and when he finally did become champion it didn't mean anything.

I think Braun is worth being brought back at like 400k a year as opposed to a mil and a quarter mill and a half whatever his ridiculous salary was. He had fans, was very over at points and at points sold some merch. His time at the top of the card is probably done, but put him as the hot tag guy in a tag team or muscle for someone. He had charisma for sure and was over.

I’m fine with Braun coming back so long as he’s the dominant version of him we saw in 2016 rather than the neutered 2021 version.

Braun should be alright but I’d rather have Bray back. I’d have Bray as a main event guy and Braun as a mid card, occasionally main event guy.

I’m bummed that I haven’t seen any word about Morrison being brought back, I know he’s never gotten much credit from WWE but he could be great as a midcard single or as part of a tag team, I hope he gets a call.

I don’t believe the Black rumor but wouldn’t be against it. Just keep him and Cody apart. Ha

i was a big braun fan when he was super over(when he was constantly whoopin roman's ass), but lost interest when they didn't capitalize on that. they should've kept him and brock away from each other longer because those interactions really slammed the brakes on braun's momentum. after that, he just wasn't the same anymore. he definitely wasn't the best we've ever seen by any means, but if used right...he could serve a good purpose in the upper mid-card/main event level. the fact that he's being brought back obviously means triple h sees something in him, so hopefully he gets a better shot this time around
edit: if it weren't for the karrion kross factor, i'd even say that braun could be a solid choice to take the universal title off roman. think about it...roman is cutting a promo about how he's the best blah blah blah and then you just hear "BRAAAAUUUUNNNN!" blare over the sound system. ghost from roman's past reappears and gives him reason to worry. let that program happen. roman doesn't lose much momentum by dropping the universal title to him because of their past. universal title goes back to raw. braun drops the title to whoever can benefit most after a few months. titles stay away from each other, roman can still look strong, braun can still be a monster, the reset comes full circle

Triple H should get more credit for saving wrestling from that Control Your Narrative sh*t and leaving EC3 alone in the dirt.

Would love to have him back on the roster,just like you said he'll make a perfect tag guy or throw him in a mid card feud when needed. I know a lot of people talks about the age of certain guys or girls but as long as they're not constantly going for the world title,I don't see the big deal in a older vet in the locker room. Black would be great too,if he's not happy in AEW.

Depressing reading, that Black is signed with that lot till '27. I hope he can somehow get out of his contract before then.

Part of what I've been reading with Black is there have been some personal things going on as well, and he was considering taking an extended break from wrestling altogether, not necessarily with the intention of switching companies.

It’s a “Hey we aren’t PC!” type thing where they book problematic people it hopes to be edgy.

I went in with an open mind, and watched a few shows. It’s pretty terrible. Bad wrestling, rest holds, weird camera cuts.

Braun should be alright but I’d rather have Bray back. I’d have Bray as a main event guy and Braun as a mid card, occasionally main event guy. The problem with Braun is that him losing to most people looks silly, but he's not interesting enough to be the top man. It puts him in a weird limbo. Kind of like Big Show and Kane.

Make him just be a tag guy. Can lose without taking falls and doesn’t need to be a main eventer.
