Roman Reigns Song composed by Ben Cooper: soundcloud.com/poprockcyanide/sets/music-showreel-ben-cooper

I want to see ‘How WWE should have booked Biker Taker’ with how much Adam seems to dislike that gimmick and it being a lot of people favorite Taker Gimmick

Adam… as someone who’s seen every single booking you’ve done in your career, this is genuinely your best work and even though the chances of this actually happening is slim to none, I want it to happen more than anything

Love the “friends are his superpower” aspect to this. Would have Roman over and over again talk about how the New Day were never on the Bloodlines level, constantly threaten them in matches, leading to a big Xavier comeback every time

Literally teared up at the line "because the Bloodline is a family held together with fear and obligation, but the New Day is a family that's held together with love." Because it's so damn true.

My Options to dethrone Roman Reigns: - Cody Rhodes (most likely) - WALTER - Matt Riddle - Big E (if he comes back) - AJ Styles - Bron Breakker

I personally really like the idea of it being Woods. I think he’s shown ever since his KOTR win that he is more than capable of being a great singles wrestler. I quite like the idea of The New Day’s family like bond being thicker than blood, and like Kofi and Big E, I think he deserves it at least one time in his career. He’s arguably one of the hardest workers they have in promoting WWE considering his outside work on UUDD and G4. And I just really wanna see the Kenny Omega congratulations tweet

The introduction was an immaculate conception of the Bog Dog's struggles to his eventually triumph. Beautiful production and the vocal layering as in terms of its fitment with the orchestration was down right loveable. The raw emotion through each chapter without having to move from a chair is something of magic.

This might be my favorite "How Adam Would Book" ever. Goosebumps multiple times. And the second you said "Xavier Woods" I already knew I'd be sold.

Not gonna lie. I wasn't ready for the musical opening, but now I need more Adam musicals in my life. What do I need to do to make this happen?

This is probably the best booking Adam's ever done. Incredible scenes.

I had doubt in this booking once Woods' name was brought up, but the moment in which Woods turns down Reigns' challenge because his friendship with Kofi means a lot more to him than winning the title, legit made me emotional. Well done Adam.

This is *exactly* how they need to set up for Rock vs. Roman. The implications of that feud are bigger than any title could ever be, and inserting a prop into it just drags it down. Whoever beats Roman - and this is a stellar option - it needs to be the Rock, wrestling's true head of the table, who catalyzes the end of the Tribal Chief.

Define “conquered” his Seth Demons because from what it looked like to me that DQ win was solidifying the idea that Seth has permanent residence in his head.

Okay, I wasn’t expecting it, but you said his name and I was *immediately* on board. Love Xavier Woods and I haven’t forgotten that he still has a win over Roman either.

Crazy to see how close you came with your prediction, just with Zane instead of Woods. Most of the story notes you hit have been hit in some form. Well done!

The chances of this happening are low... but not zero. WWE has protected Woods a great deal since last year. He pinned Bobby Lashley in the buildup to MitB. He won King of the Ring. He survived Roman. He has repeatedly carried Kofi through this Sheamus/Ridge/Butch feud. Kofi has taken the majority of New Day pins in the last year. This... could happen.

The mightiest challenge Adam has ever undertaken.

0:00-2:20 this was arguably Adams GREATEST moment that he’s ever done being on KZfaq bless this man voice he should sing this during Roman entrance at Wrestlemania

Y’know, Xavier wasn’t my first choice, but you make a compelling argument as to why he should be the one to beat Roman. It sucks that whatever they end up deciding to do will inevitably pale in comparison, because they can’t commit to long-term story-telling.

The New Day is one of my favorite teams of all time because of how loyal they are to each other. When Kofi won the WWE Title, there was no jealousy, no bitterness from Big E & Woods, just happiness. Would they have liked to be the champion? Yeah probably, but they said "this is Kofi's time" and that amazing.

This whole booking made me tear up. Thank you Adam. Incredible...

Tbh, the choice of Xavier Woods was one I didn’t expect but it is the best choice. With the history that The New Day and The Uso’s have and with how it would be his moment after both Kofi and Big E got theirs, it just seems right to give Woods his moment in the sun.

That opening was phenomenal, I loved it. A solid 10/10.

Here's what I would have done (feel free to disagree): Roman Reigns successfully defends his championship at Summerslam in a triple threat match with Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley after the Uso's interfere and Roman makes Bobby pass out to the Guillotine. The Bloodline attacks both Drew and Bobby after the match and then The Rock's music hits to get a big pop from the crowd. The Rock stares at Roman but then shakes his hand, Roman gives The Rock one of the championship belts to hit Bobby Lashley with but when it looks like the Rock would help the Bloodline he hits Roman with the belt and then sends both the Uso's outside the ring. The Rock then hits the Uso's with a double Rock Bottom through the announce table. The Rock goes back inside the ring where Reigns has recovered, he tries to hit a Superman Punch but The Rock ducks and then plants Roman with a Spinebuster and the The People's Elbow. The Rock lies both belts beside Reigns and as The Rock leaves Cody Rhodes (who would win Money in the Banks) music hits and Cody runs to the ring with a referee. Cody Rhodes stands in the ring looking at both belts wondering which one he would cash in on and the decides to cash in for the Universal Championship. The bell rings and Cody hits Roman with a Cross Rhodes and goes for the cover but as the ref count Jey Uso pulls the ref out of the ring and knocks him out. Cody reached through the ropes to grab a hold of Jey but Jimmy hits Cody with one of the tag title belts and the Roman Reigns hits a spear on Cody Rhodes. Roman goes for the cover but there is no referee, another referee comes running down to the ring gets in and counts 1, 2........ but Cody kicks out. Reigns is livid and then knocks out the new referee. Reigns looks set to spear Cody through a table in the corner that was set up from the previous match but Reigns misses the spear and goes through the table himself. The Uso's climb on the apron to yell at Cody but then both Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley pull the Uso's off the apron. Drew hits Jimmy with a Claymore and Bobby spears Jey through the barricade. Both Drew and Bobby bang down on the ring apron to get the crowd to clap along and Cody hits Roman with another Cross Rhodes. Cody goes for the cover and the first referee slowly crawls back into the ring and counts 1.......2.......3. Cody Rhodes wins the Universal Championship and the next night on Raw he changes the design to make it look like the winged eagle belt (which is what they should have made it look like in 2016 when the belt was first unveiled). Roman remains the WWE Champion but refuses to show up at Clash at the Castle because he feels disrespected. The Uso's defend their tag titles against Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley at Clash at the Castle where Drew and Bobby win the titles and Bobby Lashley becomes a Grand Slam Champion. Roman faces Cody Rhodes at Survivor Series in a Champion vs Champion match and gets his revenge on Cody and then he costs The Rock the Royal Rumble match and then challenges The Rock to a match at Wrestlemania where he defeats The Rock to end his career. Hope you liked this. If not that's ok you're all free to disagree.

Genuinely really liked this one and would love to see it. Also…maybe I would like to see Adam book Vince Russo winning the WCW championship because I am a monster.

I did like this, however I'd leave out the Rock interference at Day 1 - instead just make it so Roman goes mental at the Usos leaving the ring giving an opportunity for Woods to win clean (as he should, after the Drew Day 3 v 3 tag match, Woods has already proven his mettle). Rock comes out on Smackdown (maybe just via video at first) to lay out his challenge because Roman wasn't able to keep the Bloodline together. Great video as always

100% behind Woods as champion. Guy can kind of do it all. Good wrestler, great on the mic, hosts UUDD so we don’t need to worry if he can be the face of a product or anything. He’s so underrated and I want this so bad now

The intro has me convinced Blampied is dropping an album. And dammit, I'm here for it 💯💯

I think it's about damn time Vince subscribed to PFK and starts listening for advice

That Dodgeball take is just true and ppl need to accept it.

I love this so much and am so saddened that we will probably never get anything close to this in real life despite the fact that the man deserves this so much. Thank you for this wonderful tale.

I liked this video immediately when he said his actual pick. I haven’t even finished the video but this is the best booking I’ve ever seen 💯.

This is probably my favorite booking you've done here at PFK Adam. I have always been a New Day fanboy, and Xavier has always been my guy. I haven't actually watched WWE in years, just keeping up with stuff through WrestleTalk vids, but I still regularly watch Up Up Down Down. World Champ Xavier absolutely would be something that would pique my curiosity enough to come back and check it out for a bit.

As soon as I heard you say Xavier Woods, I was like I didn't know I needed this in my life, but I need this in my life.

Oh… And this intro is LIFE!!!!

I guess Woods winning the title makes sense, I mean if all three members of shield could win the world championship why not all three members of new day as well.

that musical intro was funny😂😂😂 it had me laughing and dancing at the same time. God bless you Adam.

why wwe hasn’t hired adam is insane to me, this was an absolutely amazing booking you really outdid yourself with this one

I paused the video and am typing this right after the opening number. You are my absolute favorite content creator. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world. I can’t wait for the rest of the video.

This is how we would like Xavier to be booked; however I do not think Vince will ever let that happen. Personally though my gut tells me that Cody will be the one to win the title.

Musical theatre is Adam's true calling

it took you 15 seconds on xavier woods to convince me he should do it “white hot babyface” gets me every time.

I got this recommended right after mania amazing. Yk Xavier would actually be amazing love the guy he deserves his push.

Absolutely f’n genius. This is a brilliant idea Adam. When you were going through the options and had one left I thought you’d go with woods as there’s been a few seeds planted for a Roman/woods match. How you booked it was literally inch perfect. The humour elements in this vid were top notch too. Cracking stuff.

This tied so many stories together so perfectly. this might be one of my favourite fantasy bookings so far

This is the best fantasy booking you've ever done. If only WWE gave this much care and support to Woods and the New Day when it came to the World titles.

Who’s here after Cody lost at Wrestlemania? Horrible decision

I didn't know I wanted a bardic recitation of wrestling storylines until this video. More please :-)

Loved this booking! Based on recent storylines, it looks like they might be long term booking for Riddle, but I would love for this to happen. So many call backs and nuances. This is peak story telling

Adam actually has a really nice singing voice, good work my man

Adam really predicted Drew Day😂

Adam I am legitimately furious that you put this into my brain knowing it will never happen. This is probably your best booking ever.

That is a great story and one that could very well get me back to watching RAW or Smackdown again. As for a story, I would want to know how you would have booked The Kabuki Warriors. From their creation to Kairi's farewell. They are the longest reigning and most prestigious Womens tag team champions but they didn't really do too much other than the TLC match

That Christmas day Raw would be a tearjerker for sure!

this is honestly such a beautiful idea, the storytelling is perfect the only thing that sucks about such genius booking is that WWE would never do it which honestly makes me sad as hell cuz that’d be such a beautiful story to tell

My first MyGM mode run in 2k22 I had Roman as my top champ, I needed a Fighter at the draft with a good balance of Stamina and Popularity. Enter Xavier, he managed to win the rivalry in a 5 star match. Needless to say when Adam said his name in the booking video I popped hard

I'd also consider Sami Zayn as a credible opponent when he turns face. Plus he already has a story going on with the Bloodline so they can slowly build them turning on Zayn or something.

So beautiful and great idea listing all these classical Chad characters at the beginning and ultimately choosing the underdog with the great backstory. Very well done, I hope you love your work, Adam, because you're so great at it ❤️

Honestly the only part of this booking I disagree with is having Xavier Woods solo the entire Bloodline. I say have him eliminate the Usos and maybe come close to eliminating Roman but Roman ultimately wins but considering Woods just pinned the two others on his own and he’d look great losing it wouldn’t ruin any kind of push. Kinda like Kofi losing the chamber before his win at Mania. Pinning all 3 solo even if it was from roll ups would be too much I’ve been feeling like Woods deserves the world title and my god this would be sweet.

I'd love to see something bigger like "how Adam would save WWE" Instead of just booking one storyline, what changes would you make to the entire promotion to try and regain the fans who have fallen out with the company

I can't believe how emotional I got during this fantasy booking. I'm not sure if it was because of Xavier finally winning the big one, or that amazing operatic assemble at the beginning. It's a toss up.

That intro song goes so much harder than it should’ve 🔥

If Sami is the one to dethrone Roman, it will conclude the next story WWE has told in decades

This is the most beautiful booking I've seen in years. Damn near brought me to tears. A+. I think it's your best.

Wow, this is actually fresh in my opinion and by far the most original and I must say is actually the best way to book every single other people that would have been in line to defeat Roman, basically give Woods the Adam Page treatment of making a megastar by beating almost everyone in line culminating in two feuds: WALTER and Cody Rhodes

This feels like the best one in ages. Absolutely love it. Love basically all of them but this one is a bit special

I know I'm like a month late but I noticed that Adam going "Who, who, who" when asking who it should be is a little foreshadowing to it being a New Day member. At least I think it was intentional, if not that's a funny coincidence.

Initially: Adam - “Xavier Woods” Me - “*laughs* wtf?” After the video: Adam - “Xavier Woods pins Roman Reigns…” Me - “oh god now I want this real bad”

That intro was a masterpiece Adam is my tribal chief

It'll never happen, but GOD would I be here for this. Creed absolutely deserves the world.

That intro makes me really want a Calling Spots return so bad

I hate coming back to reality after being emotionally involved in a story for the past 15 minutes. Great stuff Adam. and damn you wwe for I know you won't do better than this

Oooh! Thanks Adam! Can't wait to watch this. By the way, are you planning on doing a third "Best AEW Matches of the Last Year" like you did for the last two Double or Nothings?

5:10. Sooo about that f*cking wasps nest pal....

Every time one of these videos comes out it’s like Christmas to me and my brother. We always buy our favorite food to eat while watching it and it’s definitely my favorite KZfaq series ever. The return of booking videos was a big help for me to keep my mind off of the Pandemic. Keep up the great work Adam. P.S I’m dying for you to re book an angle from WCPW with hindsight. Been three years and I’m still waiting for How Adam Would’ve Booked The Prestige lol

When Adam said Xavier Woods, I didn’t say no because I was honestly not expecting him to be picked. Had my attention immediately. Whoever beats Roman needs to NOT be an established main eventer. This is a star making feat. It NEEDs to be someone stuck in the midcard or unknown.

I think Jey Uso would make for an incredible successor to Reigns. The story is super interesting and Jey’s a great worker both in the ring and on the mic. I love Xavier, but we all know exactly how a Xavier Woods title reign would go in WWE. It’s probably just going to be Cody.

Adam: I think Judgement Day is a Evolution quality gimmick, if done right. Me: It wasn't... it really really wasn't

damn, this booking legit brought me to tears ngl

This is why Adam should be an actual booker. The man knows how to make a good emotional feel-good storyline.

I actually started tearing up. This is impeccable stuff.

How dare you make me feel my own feelings over a fantasy booking video.

as soon as you said "xavier woods" i screamed YESSS

I still want to see how WWE should of booked Daniel Bryan’s return. (Cause first they delayed the fued with Miz with a fued with Big Cass then when they got to the Miz feud they watered it down with The wives. It took his heel turn to give him a good story which Ioved and his first good feud with Kofi. Adam already booked the start of the return and his place vs Kofi. Now he just needs to fill in the middle

Speaking of which, I’d like to see a How WWE should’ve booked either Aleister/Malakai Black or Judgement Day (Edge, Rhea, Priest and a mystery partner that Adam can book).

Why did that intro slap so goddamn hard?? Is there anything Adam can't do?!

Jesus Christ I was not prepared for a wrestling musical starring Adam Blampied but now I AM HERE FOR IT! Serenade us you beautiful man!

Amazing how quickly and awfully this aged lol

Love that!! Could you book how WCWs Big Bang could've been booked?! I think if the management had been better it could've been a viable alternative

That intro got the like all on its own

that intro thoooo no man makes me happier than adam i swear

I’d die to hear your opinion on How WWE should have booked Chris Jericho’s undisputed championship reign back in 2001/02. Hope you see this and consider it!

Adam's fantasy booking videos always make my day

Somewhere in the multiverse this happened. Unfortunately we are not in that universe

Song at the start was hilarious Didn't expect this video to be about Xavier woods, great video

The best part of this booking to me, is that the champion no longer feels like someone who can only be beaten by some special superstar, whatever feud woods would get after this would be great and then he can lose the title to someone who isnt so hyped up to be indestructible. It kinda resets the landscape, and wood can have a really good run

I'm going to go leftfield and say that Jey Uso should be the person to beat Roman. I like the idea of third times the charm and Roman's first decision as champion to abuse him leading to his demise.

You know Woods would have one successful defense and then "Oh look it's Brock Lesnar" right?

Should do a "How Impact Wrestling should've the Aces and Eights."
