Most of them would be Roman

[@justincumbo9512]

He should. But he doesn’t want to promote positive stuff for wwe though. They might do it in aew. But won’t do a dumbass ref counter or botches finishes

[@TheIzzyNetworkChnl]

Im pretty sure paul’s overall ringtone isn’t brocks music but when brock calls paul has set his individual ringtone to his music. So only when brock calls him does his music plays. Which is why he was so shocked and why Kayla wanted him to answer it so we knew immediately who was calling.

[@Thee_kyle_Weezy_Harler]

My ringtone is the nWo theme

[@wrestlefestivalent9144]

I wanted to comment this. He even said Brock hadn't called in over a year so that would explain why Roman wouldn't have heard it.

If Becky is going to be Champion or the top heel, Naomi will still be treated as an after thought

[@msibi]

@@suggsverse The association alone with The Bloodline will elevate her. She doesn't necessarily need to be in the title picture. Even if she doesn't join the bloodline she needs a new gimmick in my opinion her best run for me is when she was a heel

Slowly?? She had years since she had to vacate the Smackdown Women’s Championship.

So it's canon that Paul has saved everyone's theme song as their respective ringtones.

[@asasphinx]

Maybe Paul has Brock's theme as a custom ringtone specifically set for Brock in his contacts list.

[@asundelgun3487]

That's exactly what it is. I don't know why people forgot that you can set a personal ringtone for contacts. Pretty sure when Roman calls him Brock's theme doesn't play

[@SirGenesis206]

The Naomi angle could be great if it gets her nearer to the bloodline and a heel turn.

[@justinlynch3]

The ending to the tag match was good. To many times ref's just ignore the illegal partner being in the ring. A illegal partner can enter the ring to break up a pin, submission or do a double team move. But that said your suppose to have until a 5 count to do. If your not out of the ring again within a 5 count, DQ. So don't complain Simon. It's good to see a ref actually enforce the rules for once. Refs need to be allowed more authority more often, and not just stand around confused watching as illegal activities happen.

[@larsschwurack963]

He complained because there is no consistency and this absolutely warranted dq was only used as a lame excuse to not have anyone lose.

Which in return, made me care about it as well, and I had a really good time watching it to the point that I decided to watch it again

They’re clearly doing something with Naomi. We are all focused on her so why give it a down? Now if they don’t capitalize on it, absolutely. But it’s focused on for a reason like Boogs as Nakamura’s guitarist.
