A simple one this, but one the company have already made half a step towards on their developmental brand since moving it back to the empty Full Sail on Wednesday Nights.

Giant f*cking letters are great, look cool, remind plenty of the core demographic of simpler times, and would look far more appealing than the Meccano screens that have been glued in place since March.

For those that hadn't already popped themselves into space before it first appeared in the Firefly Fun House match at WrestleMania 36, the sight of the Smackdown fist was the last moment on earth for the rest. Cena's colourful trunks reflected majestically off that knackered old thing, along with the nostalgic memories of a the Ruthless Aggression truthers that discovered the whole product via that striking set.

That's been aired - get these old favourites out of storage and back at the top of that turgid Monday stage.
