Brian Fowler Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I figured Ellsworth was done. Good on him, turning one squash into a year long run and vastly increasing his resting potential for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide contents I think Paige is supposed to be on SDL anyways so I'm not sure where the rumors of her returning to join the Raw women's team ever came from. I believe the rumor started because she was backstage at Raw and there was that open opportunity with a match for the last spot. For me it was more hoping they would do something other than predictable obvious boring route that they did go with. Much less interest in her just being on the other team.

Johnny Sorrow Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 So, I’m calling Roode selling out to cost SD the match. It makes the most sense. They only brought him in as a face because they knew the theme would get over right away with the main audience, and that the Loud Minority were going to cheer him. He was getting cheers at the end of the NXT run and so it makes sense to debut him as a good guy against Ziggler, who everybody hates. But, it seems clear that the guy who’s character is a rich guy who wants to rule the wrestling world would form a merger with HHH, so he can be on RAW, and not the “B Show”.

Johnny Sorrow Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Oh, and celebrating a person losing a gig just because you don’t dig their character on a show with a million characters is kinda douchey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I don't disagree there, and I think Roode badly needs to turn heel before he becomes completely irrelevant and that's a good way to do it. However, if Styles is babyface champ and Jinder is moving down, they need a key heel, and Roode is probably your answer, short of moving Joe over. Your scenario has Roode selling out and jumping to Raw, but I can't see him being a bigger priority on Raw as a heel, given what they have over there already, than he could be on Smackdown where the field is a bit more open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodear Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I think the key issue in the Raw vs Smackdown squabble is that the crowd can't be invested beyond a "Dream match" perspective. Honestly, so what if Roode turns on Smackdown since neither side is properly motivated. There are not stakes even for Shane and Stephanie who won't care in 3 months that they won or lost. I'm not normally a fan of over adding stipulations but the situation could stand to have sticks and carrots added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I hate the forced brand loyalty. Until brand extension 2.0 gets the ax...and the smasher, it should really be Raw faces vs. Raw heels and SD faces vs. SD heels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should move Bray back to SD. He’s lost in the shuffle on raw. Tease the reuniting with bludgeon brothers. Have him work AJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the WWE is that stupid If you have Dana cost Asuka by fighting her outside the ring and getting her counted out she can still cost her the match but keep her pinfall/submission streak in tact. Plus if the RAW Women still win the match, Asuka still gets the win and they can continue to claim she's undefeated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 No matter what they will still claim she is undefeated in "singles competition" because that was the loophole they used when promoting Charlotte's PPV streak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 3 hours ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: until the Royal Rumble Or the month before when Finn dough to AJ. That said, the forced brand loyalty works for me since both shows are run by extremely competitive and vindictive McMahons. Most of the roster would probably rather. not get on their bad sides.

Matt788 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Anyone else think the Blugeon Bros debut at Survivor Series and screw the New Day or the Uso's? Also Uso's vs Shamus and Claudio will rule if given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, this and this. Horrible booking of the WWE Championship this year. Could say that about WWE's booking this year full stop. Hope to see Styles vs. Lesnar before my hospital appointment on Monday but I'm trying not to expect much even with a great like AJ Styles in as I'm tired of Brock Lesnar. Lesnar can do better, look at his matches with John Cena, Roman Reigns and the Undertaker (minus the WrestleMania XXX match with 'Taker getting a severe concussion early on). The Sheild vs. The New Day is the other match I'm most looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
