Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

And just like that SD kicks off with Tiffany and Pretty Deadly!

I want Tiffany to hold the briefcase for a while (we need a long run for a MS.MITB) but seems like they're teasing her cashing in on Nia.

Now we get a Roxanne Perez cameo!

Tiffany should be the first Women's Wrestlemania Cash In. I'm selfish since I'm going to Mania lol but we haven't had that yet. I know I'm not the only one who sees Charlotte returning and being put back into the title picture against Nia.


Keith Lee is a very lucky man... Mia is looking good tonight.

More like Tiffany cashes in MITB and then Charlotte feuds with her.

But if they want to put attention of the tag division for once, give Charlotte a protege. A younger talent who would benefit from just being associated with her since we know it's hard for newer talent to get over.

I know Nia said the whole celebration to kick off SD wasn't "her style", but I think it could be good for her if she becomes less one dimensional "I like destruction" and embraces a more comedic side and starts playing off Tiffany more.

That was one hell of an indy-rific match, damn. Props to all 4 of those men.

The two biggest storylines in WWE are over a friendship bracelet and a traditional Samoan necklace.

I was hoping it would have grown on me after a few entrances but I can’t get into Reigns’ new theme

That was a black and gold NXT Takeover level tag match.

Street Profits have done everything they can do as a tag team and I don't want to see them split, but I also want to see Montez breakout as a singles star, he has main event star written all over him.

I know people joked about the old "Edge vs Booker fighting over a Shampoo commercial", but little things like that gives feuds way more meaning.

Punk vs McIntyre and Reigns vs Solo on one hand (no pun intended) does revolve around a small materialistic item, but it's obviously what it symbolizes which is the big story, and that's what good storytelling does.

That was awesome!

I agree it's not as good, but what can we do. They probably changed it to go with more of a 'good guy' feel to it and less evil 'final boss' vibe of the old version. [emoji22]

Agree, it's all about the symbolism but I still had to make that joke/observation.

Wrestling feuds need to be about more than 'I'm better than you' sometimes and that's what these two feuds represent.

The fact they keep doing the Shield Triple Powerbomb is not a coincidence. I know Seth is out again thanks to Bronson squashing him like a bug but I still think Seth will likely join in against Solo's Bloodline.

Really surprised they didn't have a face off moment between Jacob & Roman before Jacob attacked Roman. If they don't do Rock/Roman at Mania, Jacob vs Roman would be a very nice alternative and that's if Rock faces Cody.

There was nothing wrong with his old theme, but I love the new one too.

The old one was "bad guy head of the table" type vibes, the new one is "epic final boss battle" music.

I was more surprised they had Reigns put back on the Ula Fala. That moment felt like one you tease but don't actually go through with until the day he actually reclaims it. Though I wonder if he just did it for the significance of doing it today of all days.

Rollins joining back in on this story would be interesting. The Rollins/Reigns relationship is as complex as it gets. They're brothers who also will never forget the whole way the Shield originally ended so there will always be bad blood mixed with "brotherhood".

New meme alert......... Roman's reaction to Triple H telling him he had to work consecutive weeks in a row.

I thought his new deal worked around all that, I guess not.

Hopefully he's back same time next year (before the Rumble).

So next week we have Joe and ???

Edit-Cole announced Pats coming back in January, I'm guessing the first Netflix show he'll be back?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Feels weird having Alpha Academy keeping their name and music when they split with Gable.

They really should've just had Gable and the Creeds become Alpha Academy and Otis,Tozawa and Maxxine get a new name/theme.

Anytime I hear their music or think of Alpha Academy I think of Gable.

Woods to Kofi: "Because it just feels like you're trying to replace Big E and i wouldn't do that."

Oh damn.... this is getting good. The New Day splitting is going to hit on a different level, they have been together for so long that you would think it would never happen.
