So you think reigns is on par with aj styles, ko, Seth, Finn, Daniel Bryan, ziggler? Because no way. Not that that matters in wwe. Cena, Hogan and many other sucked too. I'll admit Roman has gotten better. A lot better. Especially on the Mic. But he still isn't elite. And to my previous point, I never said I liked asuka's streak. But to end it the way they did made it seem like they didn't even care about it. So why build it if you don't care? And to have her tap out...would you ever see Roman tap out? No. I didn't like the streak, I think streaks in a fixed event are stupid. Even takers WM streak was stupid. But for it to have to be Charlotte to give her another accomplishment was annoying but ok whatever, but to do it so easily on the first try is just bad booking. After all the times she's beat bayley, Alexa, Sasha, nia, ember moon...makes them all look enept. Either way, Thank God for carmella. Ziggler? Dolph ziggler is a much better in ring worker than Roman reigns. That's not debatable. Literally at all.

Eh. Roman Reigns has had consistently good matches, minus the brock and cena matches, for a while now.

How much did Smackdown get shafted?? Jeez.
Raw gets Lashley, No Way Jose, Authors of Pain, Ember Moon and Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe back from injury.
Smackdown get a female duo and... Eh, Paige I guess?
They better get dealt a decent hand next week or they're kinda screwed.

Glad Carmella finally won the Women's title. Wasn't much more Charlotte could do with it really.

Really enjoyable show last night. Flat in places but overall it was pretty damn good.

SD will probably get back Alicia Fox and Goldust.

They tried to make both brands look equal once the initial draft happened, but it took about a month before Vince started openly showing the favoritism he has for RAW. No one really wants SmackDown to succeed; that's why Heyman was met with such resistance and eventually quit years back after he started beating RAW in the weekly ratings.

Beyond thrilled that Paige is the new SmackDown Live General Manager! When she retired on RAW, it was really saddening that it looked like she'd be gone from WWE TV. But now she'll still appear every week, in a new role, and I am really excited to see her as General Manager. It will be very refreshing and interesting to have a female GM for a change.
Pretty nice to see Peyton Royce and Billie Kay called up. But "the Iconics" is a stupid name that doesn't make grammatical sense. What was wrong with "the Iconic Duo"?
Nice to see Carmella finally cash in and become champion, even given Mike Chioda's stupidly long hesitation. I get why they had Chioda hold off for so long, trying to stall as a way of showing compassion for Charlotte, but the whole point of MITB is striking when the champion is at their weakest, and no referee should try to hinder that. Regardless, it'll be interesting to see where Carmella goes from here and how long a reign she'll be given.
Absolutely loved Shinsuke Nakamura's work last night! His response to Renee Young was brilliant, and they really are going all-out for heel Nakamura.

All I kept thinking was that Chioda's stalling would result in Charlotte strugging to her feet and spearing Carmella once the bell rang. Glad I was wrong. Also found it funny that for a brief second Corey forgot how to spell Champion. You can hear he hesistated for a second after he started out C H A M P. I think it was around the P where he messed up. AndI like Nakamura. One thing they do right on SDL is that they don't do a chicken heel. They do the arrogant, cocky, viscious heel.

Never once commented on the quality of the show. It was a good watch but they're severely lacking roster quality and depth compared to Raw right now.

Saw a comment. Want to comment. I feel something with Reigns where I just don't click. Maybe it's because the fans hate him I don't know, but I just don't see it with him. Potential, better than average in ring out of 10, I would say a 7.5, but just something inside makes me not want to like him. It's not that I know he's better than me because I accept that fact, and it's not that I think he sucks. It's just something. I don't ing know. Just weird I guess.

Who needs lame "surprises" and returns.

Once WWE commits to turning Reigns heel, the fans will start to like and cheer him. The fans don't like the superman underdog anymore. They're thirsty for an anti hero.
