We all know RAW after Mania has been a big deal for the past few years. We get debuts, returns, and the crowd is always red hot. With Smackdown now being live instead of pre-taped, do you guys think the excitement and energy will carry on three nights in a row? I sure do hope so because even though SDL is the better show it will always be the afterthought of RAW. Hopefully they don't use all the surprises the RAW after Mania and have some tricks up their sleeve for SDL after Mania.

If they really want to make SD feel special again like how it was in the early 2000's then they should have some surprises on the show after Mania.
WWE loves catering to Raw more though unfortunately so I wouldn't hold my breath...

I have come to really loathe the Raw after Mania crowds. They used to be fun but now just obnoxious.

Not really Raw is the day after WM so that's a bigger deal than a show that's 2 days after.

It will largely be the same crowd, and they're going to be seeing the other half of the roster for the first time since Mania, so they're going to expect something decent.
I don't expect it to be quite as newsworthy as Raw, but I'd bet we get a debut or two and a big angle.

Nope. It just feels so much different that first 24 hours than 2 days later after Mania. Also, RAW is obviously Vince's favorite, so you know he'll try to make it the better show.

Yes, I think SD LIVE will be the same excitement as RAW but RAW will probably have more interesting stuff to look forward to!

I think it'll carry some momentum but not all. In all honesty if they have something big planned for the Smackdown after Mania should they make it a 3 hr show as well?

Will Raw even be exciting? Following his Mania defeat The Undertaker will most likely raise Roman's hand and officially declare him and The Guy. Believe that. |

If Smackdown gets some nxt call ups it has the potential but unfortunately all the heavy hitters will be on RAW

NXT Debuts on both shows and Trades on both shows are pretty likely. Maybe even a big angle (hint hint) for RAW

Smackdown is always better than RAW, returns or not.

I think a Draft after Mania would be a good way to shake things up, but I personally would rather them wait until sometime around Summerslam. |

I think they will try to, but it won't. And I will tell you why: There's only one night after WM, and it's Monday.

No but it will be the more focused and better show. Raw will be all about ZOMG moments and the most obnoxious crowd of the year

If Nakamura isn't at Mania then him debuting and starting a feud with Styles would be cool.
