Having just seen his feud with Cena start, late I know, he's going to be HUGE!

Has it been confirmed that tonight's match is for the U.S. title? I just assumed it was a regular match, no title opp since I never heard it was for the belt

Kinda stupid if you ask me. Cent being Superman for 3 months "I'll take on anyone" and now Owens is facing him and its non-title. Who writes this s**t?!?

It's non title because Owens doesn't want the US title and has made it very clear over the past two weeks.

It's non title because Owens doesn't want the US title and has made it very clear over the past two weeks. It's not a matter of the story line for me. My point is that back in the day titles were put on people because they were getting pushed. IC and U.S. Titles were for people who were good, but still needed some work. The main titles were for the guys who could carry a good match, work a good promo and be main eventers of the company. Now it just feels like they're throwing the titles on people just to "make the story good" it takes away from the integrity of the titles when that happens. How exactly is putting The U.S. title on Cena appropriate? The guy who has main evented match after match, coming in close to Ric Flairs title reigns, is now holding a mid-card title? And squashing every new comer that challenges him? It's just bad booking to me. They should be putting that title on people like Ziggler, Cody, Ambrose, Rollins, Neville etc, not people like Cena. Sorry for going off track and for the mini rant, it's just sometimes the WWE doesn't make sense to me with their match booking and story lines.

Cena is having competitive matches, not squashes.
The US title has been elevated from midcard belt to something they could use to legitimately headline shows with thanks to Cena. It's making that belt matter more than it has in 20 years.
VKM openly admits that belts are props and don't matter, so I don't know why this suddenly bothers you. This is the best booking the title has had in years upon years.

Not gonna keep going back and forth about it.
I'll agree to disagree. I have my opinions, you have yours.
Back on topic, yes I would love a Kevin Owens figure. Because I collect elite, I hope we get one soon so I can pass on his basic. I'm really curious as to who they can include the NXT title with. Maybe it'll be him, but then again, they may do an elite Zayn. Just wish they could work more newer characters into the line.

I think it's highly possible we will see his figure at SDCC.

That'd be great if Cena won both titles, that way random NXT guys could show up to challenge Cena as well. Who wouldn't want to see John Cena vs. Mojo Rawley on Raw?
For figures, NXT title with Neville, even though I'd cynically expect Owens since he's low deco and got a massive push to the main roster. NXT tag titles with Ascension in their entrance gear, those guys are practically made up to be action figures. Elite Sami Zayn would likely have "authenic ring attire!" as an accessory with all the different flags and patterns on his tights.

I think he will as fast tracked as much as possible. Rumor has it, WWE was blown away by how many units his 1st KO shirt sold. He just had 3 additional shirts released in the span two weeks.
I don't know exactly how the process works, but if WWE has decided to do a hard push with KO merchandise, I would image an email might have been sent to Mattel asking about timelines and such. We'll see.

I want his figure. My biggest gripe is they never get guys out when they're over or hot. We'll be able to get a Kevin Owens figure when he's no longer a thing. And that stinks.
I know, production times and all that.... just wish there was a way around it.

This is the best booking the title has had in years upon years. And the moment he loses it, back down to being meaningless it will go. It's not him making it mean something, it's the booking. They could easily of done the same thing with anyone else and it would of helped the title and could of elevated a new star.

They may not be in their main roster gear, like Neville, but they will at least be available.

Jakks used I get them out so quick. I'm forgetting, he has his ROH figure coming out pretty soon! yeah!

I'm pretty sure the guy who beat Cena in his main roster debut will now be getting an elite and remain relevant. I can't wait

His Elite will come out in 2016, either around Royal Rumble at the earliest or after WrestleMania. He'll be in his Elimination Chamber attire (obviously) and he'll come with one of those rubber shirts with the design he wore tonight (he'll probably have Bray's torso underneath and the shirt will hide the breast pocket) and he'll come with the NXT title. No one is going to come with the NXT title before he does (none of the other ex-NXT guys will come with it because they weren't an NXT champion when they were on the main roster, Paige was which is why she came with an NXT title). I'm calling it right now.
And the Ascension isn't going to come with the NXT tag titles AND their entrance gear. Not gonna happen.
