The Wrestling Thread Is The Only One Who Can Have Me - Part 226

I feel like they made the SD side look rather stupid. Almost all the really over groups went to Raw. And the good, young talent almost all went to Raw, where they probably won't get much play. I don't get it.

Smackdown has some good people but it's absolutely stupid to have Enzo and Cass AND New Day on the same brand for example. Spread the overness around. Smackdown needs more talkers bad as well, way too many promo guys on RAW. There's no reason KO or Jericho can't be on Smackdown.

Are you kidding!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! This could be the perfect opportunity to finally have a feud between these two and I'm not the only one who wants to see a feud between them either. And there's a rumor that there could be a match between Enzo & Big Cass and the New Day.

How do you pick Baron Corbin over Enzo and Cass?

 

[Loki882]

I also would have moved Paige overt to Smackdown.

You honestly don't see an imbalance here?

Yeah it really is shocking. SD is top heavy with two of their top picks, Orton and Cena, not exactly the right guys to breath new excitement into the show.

Then you've got the top feuds that have already happened: Cena and Orton, Cena and AJ and Bray and Dean.

Finally, there's the sheer amount of no hopers drafted to SD: Ascension, Corbin, Ziggler amd the USOs. I mean really? You draft stale superstars to a stale brand that needs rejuvenation badly?

Never my opinion that if Finn/Gallows/Anderson and Zayn had gone to SD it would have made things much more even, they couldn't even give bloody Neville to Smackdown, someone who screams Smackdown superstar ffs.

 

[Wheels]

I think Ameerican Alpha have a big chance to step up and do some killer promo segments on Smackdown if they're allowed to talk frequently as well as have great matches, so maybe that will happen.

 

[nite-owl]

Rumour is Sin Cara and Simon Gotch got into a fight in which Cara won.

 

[Wheels]

Thanks for putting Del Rio on Smackdown when Smackdown needs guys they can plug into main events outside Cena, Ambrose, Wyatt, Orton, and Styles WWE That guy gets WWE fans to care SO much. /sarcasm. Honestly, Smackdown is going have to push Miz as a top guy again because he gets heat and can handle himself well on the mic.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I am just glad that Rollins and Styles are the top guys on RAW and SD.

Rollins vs Balor is going to be EPIC,can't wait for them to go at it.

Im wondering if SD is going to differentiate itself from Raw by focusing more on the wrestling than talk segments. A similar model to NXT.

 

[LoganGambit87]

did they really put carmella on smackdown but enzo and cass on raw

Perhaps.

 

[Loki882]

That'd be nice. Although if that's the case, then making the Cruiserweights Raw-exclusive is puzzling (as is then moving Sin Cara over to SD).

 

[Wheels]

I'm just bummed out because Smackdown is going to have to run the same main events constantly. Get ready for the worst "great rivalry" in WWE history to return: Cena vs Orton.

 

[RetroNaz]

No, please no.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

All those young up and coming stars drafted to the brand where they can be buried by Reigns.

 

[chamber-music]

Balor Club is coming!

Eva Maria is back on the main roster and they didn't make her Nia Jax's sidekick WTF?

Finn to Raw! Can't wait to see him and Seth Rollins eventually go at it.

Rollins vs Balor should be awesome

This kinda sucks. Xavier can legit wrestle but he's always treated as the weakest member of New Day.

Yep. I'm disappointed Xavier doesn't get to give a good showing very often in the WWE.

Nia?? Why-a?

I like Nia Jax but she still looks very limited in the ring. I think she could of done with staying in NXT a little longer.

Bliss to the main roster. Lovely.

Great. Bliss has improved a ton and is probably the best woman heel in the WWE right now.

As it stands right now, the tag team division on Smackdown is hot garbage.

It ain't the best but I think you could get some good matches. American Alpha could wrestle a wet paper bag and it would look good.

American Alpha
Hype Bros
The Vaudevillains
The Ascension
The Usos
Breezango

Carmella to Smackdown

Shocked Carmella got called up.

You get six NXT picks and you waste one on Mojo? I mean damn I know he's a hard worker at the PC but seriously? Freaking Tye Dillinger or The Revival could have left and not damaged NXT too much. Literally the only cool "sexy" NXT picks were Balor and Alpha.

Tye Dillinger is main roster ready and would be a solid midcard heel. Baffled they left him in NXT if he isn't going to get a push down there.

And the NXT Women's Division got decimated. It's time for NXT to do something now with Liv Morgan, Aliyah, Peyton Royce, Mandy, Daria, Nikki Storm and Ember Moon. I am surprised that not any Indie females outside of the ones who appear at the NXT Tapings (Santana Garrett, Deonna Purazzo, Rachael Ellering) have been rumored for NXT.

They definitely need to push new women and sign some more women now because the NXT women's roster is looking thin on talent.

Graves should be with Ranallo because Ranallo is phenomenal.

I get why they went with the line up. The dynamics will be Graves as heel foil to Bryon Saxton while Cole is more the middle man calling the play by play.

Happy to see King gone. King over stayed his welcome.

 

[RetroNaz]

They finally get to push their top female star, Eva Marie lol.

Good luck to us all.

 

[chamber-music]

Sin Cara and Simon Gotch had a legit fight backstage during Smackdown apparently.

 

[chamber-music]

They finally get to push their top female star, Eva Marie lol.

Good luck to us all.

She will rival reigns for drawing heat.

 

[Wheels]

No, please no.

They don't have a choice. Who are they going to push? Dolph? The guy they damaged so badly he got "Ziggler sucks" chants while working face against Corbin on the pre-show?

 

[chamber-music]

Women's divisions

Raw:

Charlotte – WWE Women’s Champion
Sasha Banks
Lana
Nia Jax
Paige
Summer Rae
Alicia Fox
Dana Brooke


SmackDown:

Becky Lynch
Maryse
Natalya
Naomi
Alexa Bliss
Eva Marie
Carmella

Only two face women on each roster Smackdown (Becky and Carmella). Raw (Paige and Sasha Banks).

Tamina Snuka could join the Usos and Naomi on Smackdown or be paired up with Nia Jax on Raw.

Emma should join Dana Brooke on Raw.

Cool to see how emotional Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss got over joining the main roster.

 

[Wheels]

Maybe Kalisto gets a main event run. WWE hasn't spent years drilling it in people's heads that he isn't big deal. Crews is there too.
