This but with Charlotte winning.

I'd say this show was really enjoyable, indeed a very good watch. Crazy how writing your serious feuds without comedy segments can make for a more cohesive show. Going from Ambrose shooting needles in his butt to Orton fucking up Rey is some unbelievable stuff. Writing faces who actually can stand up for themselves also helps. Besides, we're getting an Asuka/Becky/Charlotte TLC match. Lovely stuff.

Sonya/Asuka exchanges are ALWAYS dope as fuck. RINGS is alive and well.

Smackdown is the A show. We not only get some fire segments around the ENTIRE WOMEN'S ROSTER, but Naomi looks stunning as well. Usos vs Bar is obviously great. The best tag team ever going against a top 10 in WWE history is bound to produce greatness. AJ with his usual good promos. Hope he doesn't jump shit next year. Nakamura is a good slimy heel and his act is good, except when the bell rings. Hope Rusev kicks his ass. And, so far, the best segment was about Jeff Hardy. The promo Joe gave afterwards was some heavy shit. I believe in Hardy, and hope he gets one more WWE Title run.

Just when Bray comes back, Kairi Sane contracts a terrible disease. Hand, foot and mouth disease.

Lone Wolf anarchist going corporate goon is a good heel gimmick shame there are almost no babyfaces left to counterbalance the sheer power levels of the heels. I mean, we had Elias who got fucked. Braun's fucked. Seth's stuck with lolZiggler and lolAmbrose. Finn's... there. At this point I could do with a Bray/Elias/Balor vs Drew/Lashley/Corbin tag. I'm actually thinking Bray is a good alternative which for me, is insane.

I actually did not long ago! It was more on the nose than other threads and no one really complained, so you might be onto something here.

How cute.

OK, that was one thing I enjoyed. And babyface Elias is great, the crowd loves it - although the match itself was a big EH, the beatdown was cool. Horrible episode.

also what the fuck? is ziggler just not invited to the big boys party?

I can only imagine they got a script from months ago and did some slight alterations. Running Dean/Dolph and Balor/Corbin again is just... Like, I'm really more optimistic than most. I fucking hated this episode. There was absolutely nothing I can remotely say "hell yeah that rocked".

And Ziggler answers Rollins' open challenge. Lord have mercy

...this show sucks ass Maverick pissing over Roode's robe was some Attitude Era shit in the worst way possible

Nia's getting sandbagged here. This whole segment was a trainwreck

Ambrose is terrible. Managed to destroy all the goodwill he had when he returned really jacked. Horrible promos. Say your old buddy got cancer as divine punishment and then have comedy segments getting injections on his butt. Good writing!!!!

Didn't EC3 have a concussion or something like that? It seemed his momentum in NXT was gone after his match against Velveteen.

Hear something about Seth doing an open challenge Give me Lars

I won't lie. Becky's twitter antics have jumped the shark for me. Sure I still enjoy her overall act and she's still a must watch wrestler, but the twitter "burns" are getting progressively worse.

Randy is being incredible in this run. His feud against Hardy was brutal, and this match against Rey was excellent, with a great post match.

I am here for a DeRose ship, too.

Big Show taking table bumps during a comedy tag match. In 2018. Such a legend.

I'll be honest here: Billie Kay might be worse than Natalya

This only goes to show that both Dean and Seth would be absolutely dead in the water if not for Roman. Any other guy in that trio (lol Ohno) and it really wouldn't have taken off the way it did. Besides, mixing some goofy ass shit such as Ambrose walking in the background, talking via monitors, with some lazy writing, just doesn't make for good TV. I'm not really outraged by them using Roman's disease as a means to get heat, but I find it truly stupid. Not a single person comes out of it looking better, and people in the future will remember this segment the same way they remember Orton saying Eddie was in hell or Paige mentioning Charlotte's brother.

Do you guys consider the crowd chanting "AOPP" as a sign that the ridiculous angle at Survivor Series paid off and it got them some heat, or that they ruined AOP's credibility as serious threats?
