Ciampa is doing an amazing job right now.
That said... I'd have to wait and see if that can transfer into the main roster before I'd put him ahead of Owens. Full Sales is somewhat of an artificial environment, because it's full of wrestling smarts. The ability to get over with the more casual WWE fan is the real test. When you can do that in any arena in the world in front of any crowd, then you can call yourself the man.
But I'm not trying to in any way belittle what Ciampa is doing in NXT right now... he's the best heel heat Magnet I've seen them produce since I started watching. And it's real heel heat... not the semi-face reaction that Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, and Bobby Roode produced when they were top heels. CIampa is definitely doing something special right now. I hope that eventually will transfer to the main roster, because honestl I somewhat miss real heel heat. Most over heels today we sort of boo with a smile on our faces.

I would imagine the headliners would look something like this.

Top female face. Top female heel. And the most recognizable female athlete in the world.
While watching RAW last night, I discussed with someone the possibility of a woman being on the cover of the WWE 2019 video game. I said that it's definitely a possibility, and that while I could see Alex Bliss, Carmella, Charlotte or Nia Jax as that woman, the odds-on favorite would be Rhonda Rousey.
Charlotte/Sasha/Alexa are probably the only ones that'd get any consideration if Ronda didn't get the cover.
Side note--I'm giving Elias's new album a solid B+. Two of the songs are hilarious.
Jim Cornette brought up the whole Samoans and how Vince in 1996/1997 was gonna fire them. And then comically changed his mind...
- He was asked about "Making a Difference Fatu" and the whole Samoan angle that was suddenly dropped. Cornette claims Vince was gonna fire Fatu and the Samoans then. But he went into the meeting with Fatu and he has no clue what happened next. But after the meeting Fatu was kept around as was the Samoans. He does remember that back in the day they'd throw a guy on TV on Monday and then get his tests back later in the week. Well he doesn't know which Samoan it was , he failed the test in spectacular fashion.
- Which made him remember Tom Zenk's failing a test in WCW for pot. Which had some on creative team joke about it. Somehow Zenk's test came back so high for marijuana use that the WCW folks asked Zenk if he had a major problem with it. Zenk was like , no...no problem.

Well sadly another wrestler has announced his retirement (for now) as he chooses to get an education. Alex Shelley is leaving wrestling awhile to concentrate on his education.

Is Samoa Joe's finisher a sleeper hold or a submission? In the last 2 weeks it seemed to be both.
It is both. Being a sleeper means it can still use it to beat top guys as they don't need to tap out to lose.
