He's got the eluvisve Hardcore, Light Heavy Weight, and European Championships. Also, is Absolution just going to keep playing Paige's theme? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Usos really needed to go to Raw. Hopefully The Revival go to Smackdown as they're pretty much dead in the water as of now. Belts/titles colour coded to a brand keeps them there.

The downside would be when "Fighting With My Family" comes out and we get a Vega/Paige feud over who the star of the movie really is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Absolution to SDL in exchange for Riott Squad to RAW makes total sense. Of course Paige would bring her proteges to the show she now runs. I'm assuming Natalya will be Ronda's first singles match after Nat turns on her. They spend two weeks or so building them up as "friends who trained together", Natalya turns, more heat for the match. So either Rollins shows up on SDL tomorrow with the IC title, or Jeff with the US. And nice to see RAW immediately put Jinder back to his losing ways as soon as he's back on their show. Wonder if they just have him win it back at the Saudi show? I liked the light and dark sides with Matt and Bray, as well as the Deleters of Worlds name. The assisted Twist of Fate was nice, too. Surprised at Drew showing up on RAW. Thought he'd go back to NXT for a bit before his call up. But now all of 3MB are back on RAW, baby! How long before we get the reunion?

Eivion Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm mostly happy with the moves. Gable kind of pisses me off unless its to reunite with Jordan. AA as heels would be wonderful. I'm hoping Bobby turns soon. I'm one fo those weird people who actually likes Corbin and hopes Raw actually does something decent with him. I don't give a fuck about Dolph, and I'm not high on Drew. That said, I do like Drew coming in as a heel. It feels more natural. I was hoping Riot Squad would be moved and am pleased to see it. I hope Steph uses them as her goon squad to try and break Ronda. Bryan using what little stroke he has left to bring Miz over to SDL so he can punch Miz in the face is amazing. Will be interesting to see who is brought over to SDL. I'm seeing either Sonya/Mandy or Bayley/Sasha for the women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rows Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 If Jeff ends up on Smackdown then Kurt is stupid for booking that title match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Caught some of the ten-man at the end. Corey name-dropping Bullet Club and being corrected was funny; Coachman pissing off Cole who finally mutters "you just don't get it" was funnier. As was Miz being dumped by his jobber buddies for the Stroh's Man crushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So... does SD have any heels left at this point? It looks to be Nak and Miz and that doesn't quite feel like enough to build a show around. I think this points towards The Bar switching brands, but I swear if they take my sweet Elias away from me I may just cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Couple things: I cannot overstate how aggressively rancid that "Bayley and Sasha aren't any good" take is. Just brutal. Give them something real to do, and they'd shine. One of them should go to Smackdown. Surprised Bobby Roode and Baron Corbin are both going. I bet Big Cass shows up at Smackdown tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm really kinda hoping they turn AJ back heel now that they have Bryan back to play lead face. SD seems to actually be in good shape. Looks like AJ and Bryan stay put, and Miz to SDL to feud with Bryan is so obvious I assumed they wouldn't do it. Of course, it helps that they almost have to keep Bryan and AJ away from Roman...

She might be the best GM yet. Don't forget the Moneyball nature: Last year from "announced before the show", it was likely the trade was: Apollo Crews for Jinder Mahal. This year, Jinder Mahal has been traded back to Raw, presumably for some main event talent. TRUST THE PROCESS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight wasn't great, but they're both at the least extremely solid. The idea that they aren't is so ludicrous I question if you're watching the same thing I am. You can't overcome booking as terrible as they've had. They killed Bayley d-e-d with the Alexa nonsense and they have noclue what Sasha is on the main roster. What are Bayley and Sasha supposed to do about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Sasha is legit rather good and has survived all sorts of poor booking multiple times. Bayley... sometimes has the good fortune of working Sasha. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 This was the most fun I've had at a wrestling show in a long time. Great seats, very nice people sitting around us. No obnoxious drunks like a Boston crowd. Wow did RAW take a loss tonight. Not really because they had already added Ember Moon and Lashley and now Drew is back but the rest of the pickups seem like "a player to be named later" types. Fashion Police was fun though. The Sasha/Bayley match wasn't good or bad. It had some decent stuff in there. Bayley had one big mistake at the beginning but the rest was perfectly fine. The Hardy/Wyatt and Revival match was sloppy at times and I don't see anyone running in here to complain about that. SDL could have AJ Styles, Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, The Miz and possibly Seth Rollins? Not even Road Dogg can fuck this up... right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Nah, it's a lost cause guys. Bayley and Sasha should just pack it in and go to Japan to get beat up by Minoru Suzuki and attempt to become part-time idol singers on the side. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I was actually hoping Breezango would be traded - RAW has more need for comedy relief. As noted, there are a lot of low-level tag teams on RAW now (and no Usos) but I suspect The Ascension haven't answered their phones in 3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
