Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

Hmm not a fan of the way they are announcing whose on raw and whose on smackdown. It seems confusing and takes out a bit of the buzz compared to traditional drafts on the screen.
 
Roman wil come back like nothing has happened next week and overcome the odds.
 
I was hoping it'd be Strowman driving the 2nd ambulance.

:lol:

Fecking hell Raw is taking everyone. Thankfully no Styles yet.

Unsure on who has a bigger pot belly out of Mickie James and Kevin Owens.
 
Braun scoops Reigns and slams him on top of a production case. Braun gets behind another case on wheels and runs it into Reigns up against the wall. Referees and security call for help as Braun walks off. A stretcher is wheeled over by paramedics as we get a replay of what just happened. Reigns is loaded on the stretcher as a "you deserve it" chant starts up

:lol:
 
So with Bray/Orton match still going on at Payback with Bray now on Raw, will superstars will switch brands after Payback maybe? If some can carry on feuds to Payback could Ambrose lose his title before and title stays on Smackdown, unless Owens goes to Smackdown with the US title.

Have I missed something or have they explained why the Smackdown title is being defended on a Raw PPV? Kind of makes Payback irrelevant. Unless Smackdown somehow gets Brock, Bray isn't winning the WWE title, Y2J is leaving so he's losing, rumours of Cesaro being traded so he'll lose too.

To Smackdown I guess we get Club, New Day, Charlotte, Enzo and Cass, Rusev, Asuka. Maybe Zayn and Cesaro.
 
Watching it last night Raw pretty much just took all of Smackdowns best people. Except AJ Styles. I have to say the woman's division on Raw just got intresting again with the addition of Alexa Bliss. She has been awesome on Smackdown and really held that woman's division together so will be great to see her in with more talented people.
For the life of me I can't see why Bayley is so highly rated and I can't see why they would move Charlotte to Smackdown if that is the case.

I kinda want to see "the club' reunion. Think it would be intresting but again if Kevin Owens goes to Smck down then can't wait for his program with AJ Styles. Probably the two best wrestlers in WWE.

Heard a rumour Roman is going to Smackdown but can't see it after that beating unless it's the long game as in it separates them till Mania or a cross promotion event then you get the fight.

You just know a last man standing or He'll in a cell is brewing there.

I find Bailey bland and useless. Said it when she got promoted to raw and was knocked down for by some regular nxt fans but she's been uninspiring since she made the move up.

Zero edge to her character, boring moves, no real interest in watching her.

I always thought heel Sasha got the best out of Bayley with her feuds in NXT with Nia/Asuka were ok but not great. I guess thats one of the reasons I think Charlotte is going is so we can get heel Sasha.

Yeah be interesting to see if they do reunite AJ/Club because it looked like AJ was turning face but can that happen with the Club.
 
That Strowman/Reigns stuff was both ridiculous, stupid, hilarious and brilliant all at the same time.

Strowman just mega babyfaced himself.

Yeah what even makes it worse her finisher the Bailly to belly seems to be the most devistating move in woman's wrestling. Yet even tho I know it's all staged I would like to believe a finisher would actually finish someone and honestly it's pathetic.

Her promos are rubbish, her wrestling is pretty sloppy. I'd say she is the female version of the early years face John Cena but that is a shame on him as he could cut a promo and he showed against certain people he could wrestle and do it well.

I'm wondering what is going to happen to Paige. She belongs in with the ladies on Raw as I think most would agree they are the most talented group but I wonder if she'll be moved to Smackdown as that is where all the Total Divas are that wrestle.

Interested to see how it all develops on Raw tho. Was fed up of the Sasha vs Charlotte even tho they put on some serious matches.

So so true. It's like Vince doesn't get everyone hates Roman Reigns. Trying to make Braun a monster that is feared then don't put him against your best heal who you keep trying to make a baby face.

I think they all still use "the club" as part of their gimic. Balor, Anderson and Gallows AJ all have club shirts. Theybstill do "too sweat" I think it would be fun to see a faction again. Problem I feel is that with the brand split both shows feel to small to have something like the club be prominent. Would be intresting if it was done over say the 2 shows. Keeping to the idea of guys staying on one show but the club was on both promotions.

On the contrary, i think he knows full well everyone hates reigns. Hes not an idiot. But Roman gets a reaction, whether a good one or a bad one, he gets one. Plus his merchandise sells. Think i read that his merchandise sells better than any other superstar right now, but could be wrong on that.

For what its worth, i hate Roman Reigns.

That could work. Don't know if you've ever listen to Y2J podcast with Gallows/Anderson but they come across as really funny guys. I can see them as a face faction.

Really? 4 guys too big? Im thinking Evolution. You'll have a world champion/United States champion in AJ/Balor, and the tag champs in a Gallows and Anderson. Perfect.

Meltzer said he sells the most merch outside of Cena. We can all argue about how the WWE book him and his character but I agree I don't think Vince cares anymore, this idea he just doesn't get it probably isn't true. I think he is fully aware of what is going on. He sees the merch, Roman getting the biggest reaction of any superstar and always the most talked about wrestler. I think they'll do the heel stuff in big wrestling towns and the tweener nonsense in none wrestling towns. I too would rather him just be the heel every week but from a business point of view you shouldn't change it.
 
I'm going to miss Miz on talking smack.:(

None of the switches have got me excited for any potential matches apart from Alexa, which says something. And the Bray switch feels awfully like an excuse for them to have a world title match at Payback because Brock isn't there, rather than they thought switching Bray over to Raw was a good idea.

I personally am still holding a candle for Brock to smackdown :lol:
 
Christ SDL need to have a good night, with Miz, Ambrose & Wyatt gone that's 3 out of the big 6 and Cena is off for a while, so they need 3 or 4 out of Rollins, Balor, Zayn, Owens, Strowman, Y2J, Joe
 
I think they Smackdown will take Reigns, Zayn, KO.

Seamus and Cesaro probably can't go because they're title contenders for Raw but it would make sense to split them and bring them to Smackdown.

That way you'd have a longer term US champ division of:

Cesaro
Seamus
Zayn
Ziggler

And a WWE title division of:

Reigns
KO
AJ
Orton
 
Owens is a dead cert, Zayn too. They might throw a curveball like Rollins but I think they will be the two main ones.
 
Brays threats are so empty. He just chats breeze then gets slapped up.

:lol: this is so true.

I'm getting bored of Bray, he needs to cut promos in the ring more and chat more relatable stuff. Can be dark but just make some fecking sense.

Yeah ,never delivers on his threats which sucks. Even the biggest win of his career at Elimination Chamber was so obvious that it lacked any sort of meaningful impact.

I want Gallows and Anderson to end up on SD and reunite with AJ. With Ambrose going the other way Id expect Owens to end up on SD as well unless Ambrose loses the title on Smackdown tonight to Corbin or some muck like that.

The bullet club was a bigger unit than 4 people. I'd imagine it being bigger than just that but Balor and AJ Styles are big characters within WWE and WWE doesn't have many people for them to go up against and that is the real problem right now with WWE. Poor booking and not the twlent in depth like there used to be. So if you take 4 or more big names plus Nakamura was in the club as well so that is 5 say. Who do AJ and he battle on Smackdown when I would think they'll be going up against each other moving forward.

Look how badly the wyatt family was used. I kind of hoped that the Authority would start its own faction with Joe, Owens and eventually Reigns joining them and maybe some others with the club being the new version of DX against the Authority.
 
The "You deserve it!" chants while Roman was getting slaughtered was one of the funniest moments in years in WWE. Burst out laughing when I heard it.
 
Just watched the vid of Roman getting beat up

"I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU" :lol::lol::lol:
