I’d be happy with Punk getting added to Cody/Cena, Punk should win though… Cena is retiring and Cody is boring, Punk can do more with the belt than them… He might not have a great run with it but you know for sure it wont be boring…

I think Roman/Seth is better as a 1 on 1 anyway… I know not everyone loves Seth but to me they’re the Hogan/Macho Man of this era and they need to have at least 1 head to head Mania match… The story is there…

Also glad that Drew is probably getting LA Knight instead of Damian Priest, who is another guy that puts me to sleep… Drew/Knight will have a good promo battle at the very least…
 
I like Priest, but would definitely prefer Drew vs Knight. Unless Knight reclaimed the US title and put over Jacob at Mania.

As for Priest, I was thinking about how I'd use him, how would you guys feel about him and Strowman forming a Brothers of Destruction style tag team?
 
Michelle McCool is going into the WWE Hall of Fame. I don't hate this induction and she was actually one of my favorites in the Divas Era.
 
Fatu needs a big match at Wrestlemania. I’m not opposed to him winning the Chamber and facing Cody.
 
There were a lot of filler matches on Smackdown this week, although the Knight and Miz promo bit was amusing.

Chelsea vs Naomi was a decent match and I thought with Trish at ringside something might happen between her and Chelsea to lead to a match at Elimination Chamber given they're both Canadian, alas no. It was good to see some sudden development on the Jade angle, but I feel Liv and Raquel are a red herring, unless the plan is to have Bianca win the Chamber and Jade is going to become tag champions with Naomi and face Liv and Raquel at Wrestlemania, I don't particularly like that but I can see it happening.

Nia vs Tiffy was a bit clunky in places but overall a solid match with a surprise finish, I just expected Tiffy to win, but instead it set up Tiffy & Trish vs Nia & Candace, something I saw someone predict a week ago. I'm not sure they needed to shoehorn Charlotte picking Tiffy into the segment instead of letting the other angle breathe, but the nonchalant arrogance of Charlotte's delivery was good.

To quote Jesse Ventura from Summerslam '89 "You don't gotta ask where's the beef!" Which summed up the main event, they could have held this match in a meat freezer, a big, ugly smashfest sprinkled with some explosive moments from Jacob Fatu. The finish was messy but Priest was the obvious winner as it looks like they're heading towards Jacob vs Solo.

The whole Cena thing in general sucks, he's doing exactly what he moaned about others doing, and him vs Cody has all the potential of watching paint dry, it's like Superman vs Captain America, the draw is Superman vs Batman, contrasts. The bigger issue is Cena is well past his best in the ring and comes off like someone's dad cos playing. I'd have Cena roll up Drew in the Chamber and Drew snaps and leaves Cena a bloody mess for Logan Paul to pin, setting up Drew vs Cena and Punk vs Cody for Wrestlemania.

I agree that Roman vs Seth is the way to go, adding Punk to that one feels forced as a triple threat with no stakes makes no sense.

The Brothers of Beef! Given all the small tag teams on Smackdown there's a lot of potential pinball opponents for them.

They better go in the Hall of Fame this year

Triple H will hopefully right another of Vince's wrongs.

At least Chelsea isn't wrestling Michin for the 400th time. I expect Naomi to win, though. If Chelsea is in the Chamber everyone is going to be rooting for her to win.

Yeah, they didn't want the Canadian crowd making the match about Chelsea.
 
I am going with Ricky Starks name in NXT being Ricky Starks, namely because all of the names that they trademarked last week were all taken by PC Talent, and I think that this is a different way for the WWE to hype up a new signing.
