This is the most I’ve been excited for every match at wrestlemania than ever before. I think Usos vs Hardyz would of been the last thing I needed, but at least the Usos are wrestling someone rather than no one

Kofi either forgot his lines or they told him go out there and shoot from the hip and he had no bullets cuz that promo S U C K E D
After these 2 shows the stuff I’m more interested in is AJ/ Orton, Becky/ Ronda + the other one, still interested in Kofi/Bryan even if it looks like it’ll be short lived cuz Kofi can’t talk and comes off like an entitled condescending prick on the mic . They were better off having Big E and Xavier talk for him
Calling it now, Rollins/Lesnar will be the match that puts everybody to sleep.

Rey Mysterio and Andrade to rekindle their already classic rivalry on SmackDown LIVE
With both Superstars looking to gain ever-pivotal momentum ahead of WrestleMania, Rey Mysterio and Andrade will add another chapter to their incredible rivalry tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
The two Superstars have blown the WWE Universe away every single time they have locked up on the blue brand, and both will surely be aiming to do the same yet again as The Show of Shows approaches. Mysterio will look to stay sharp as he prepares to collide with United States Champion Samoa Joe at WrestleMania, while Andrade attempts to position himself well to triumph in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Who will prevail this go-round?
?? Don't kill the messenger; I just copied what THE company wrote up before going to Yankee Stadium for a night of baseball... |

The best thing about Smackdown tonight was Peyton Royce showing off her legs in those shorts. She is such a hottie!!
I hope her and Billie win the Tag Title's at WrestleMania!!

Only really caught the contract signing. Man Kofi gave some WEAK SAUCE on the mic tonight. Still want him to get his moment at Mania though. Payoff should be at the biggest show, and not held for a TV match or Backlash.
And where was Vince tonight, the guy who's driven this entire storyline? I say he should have forced X&E to quit in order to save Kofi's title shot, one last twist of the knife to up the ante.

Bryan better retain at WrestleMania. The “upset” win belongs to Rollins, not Kofi. No one cares about the Rollins/Lesnar match. This is Kofi's moment. |

Rollins is still the most over face in the WWE at the moment and his story has been in the making. He’s also the most consistent member of the roster. Kofi is riding the momentum of Mustafa Ali’s injury. Who knows what the WWE Championship picture would’ve been had Ali not gotten hurt. |

Does that make Black and Ricochet first guys to compete at Takeover and Mania same weekend? Sami Zayn did it in 2016. |

He’s also the most consistent member of the roster. Kofi is riding the momentum of Mustafa Ali’s injury. Who knows what the WWE Championship picture would’ve been had Ali not gotten hurt. What story? Rollins won the Rumble and WWE has barely done anything with the buildup for his match since then. Swap him out for Roman and it's almost the exact same thing we saw last year. Rollins winning the title will get a pop, but he's definitely not as over as he was a year ago. We don't know if Ali would have even made it this far. Kofi was called on to step up and he's been fantastic in his role. We have a reason to be emotionally invested in Kofi's match because this is literally his first ever world title opportunity one-on-one. The fans love him right now. And he's going up against someone who was in his same position five years ago, but he's since turned on the values that got him there. This is a real story that deserves a real payoff. |

Exactly Kofi has to win or you booker t him. If Roman didn't get sick he is most likely defending vs the rock and Seth would be wrestling Ambrose . LOL at Seth being the most over his is a distant fourth place behind Becky, Kofi, and Braun. Braun? The guy thats going against the SNL guys is over more then the guy that won the Rumble and got a title match against Lesnar? |

The guy thats going against the SNL guys is over more then the guy that won the Rumble and got a title match against Lesnar? Well, put it this way. As bad as the SNL stuff is, would you even care if it was Rollins in Braun’s spot? Rollins won the Rumble and is in the title match BECAUSE nobody would care for his match otherwise. SOMETIMES, like in Becky’s case, it’s best for the best person to win the belt. Other times, less popular superstars need an “interest amplifier”. Rollins needs the amplifier You’re looking at the wrestling business from the standpoint of a mark. In WWE’s eyes, Braun’s match is MUCH more high profile than Seth’s. |

Kofi's promo was clearly rushed, you could tell he was going to say something more but had to pause because he was getting a time cue to wrap it up. Its a shame because Bryan was utterly brilliant and I was really into the moment, but then you look at the clock and realize they gotta "go home", its a shame

I may have missed a meeting. Are we now just calling him Ali now? Is he the latest victim of the Vince doesn't get your name curse?
