It was pretty bad from both a content and delivery stand point.

If Heyman wrote it, it was a dud from him.

I don’t really know what is supposed to be so great about Sasha Banks. She’s fine in the ring. Maybe one of the better ones. But she’s wooden. She doesn’t have much of a personality. She does a nice little side slide on the ramp while holding her hands to the side. Dunno.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The material wasn't good because nobody is sympathetic towards Nattie. Her delivery was absolutely fine, she used that same droning effect that makes Vince love Charlotte so much.

There really was nothing to differentiate it from the typical Charlotte promo.

@M.C.G. 31 day has been made.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

it’s about time WWE brings in REAL stars with charisma that are OVER

 

[M.C.G. 31]

also talk of WWE doing another draft before hard splitting the rosters for the move to Fox.

if there is to be a wild card rule I think the fans should be able to vote one man and one woman or a team of each. At least them we're guaranteed who we want to see...IF the vote is honest...and not fixed like in some places LOL

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Not a bad idea, for me I have always hated and always will hate the brand split.

If you're going to do it though I think it should be a hard brand split. No wildcards, make it truly two different brands. Not even kayfabe either, I would have different people running it, actually make a separate department for Smackdown, all of that jazz.

Kind of like how VW and Audi operate even though its all under the Volkswagen umbrella.

One man, one woman and one tag team. Let fans vote each month who those will be.

Cody says AEW will definitely air in Canada (TSN), and apparently word floating around is that Rogers will be airing NXT on one of their Sportsnet channels on Wednesdays live as well, so the war will be fought in Canada, too.

one thing with hockey obligations is that NXT may be aired on SN’s online channel some weeks.

none of this is confirmed, but it’s the speculation & word floating around.

 

[Disclose]

watch the war being, both shows dumped for hockey and basketball on wednesdays lol

 

[tony d]

With TSN having 5 stations they'll make room for AEW somewhere.

Same with SN. It'll be in SN1 or SN360.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

rogers & wwe seem to have a really strong relationship, so I don’t think they’d ever do that. worst case, NXT would end up on their online channel some weeks, especially during playoffs, and on OLN I believe (Smackdown would be on OLN when it was the playoffs).

the main war is in America, and that’s all that matters, but it’s nice to see WWE takes the Canadian market more seriously than it did about a half decade ago even.

It would have probably worked better if they had wwe and wcw brands, but for obvious reasons

Definitely. It’s a shame someone’s ego was more important than what’s best for business.

Ziggler and Roode was Paul Heyman’s idea, as Heyman really likes Roode

I feel like Bray should end up killing whoever he takes the title from.

Much like Brock vs. Cena at Summerslam years ago. Just let him obliterate whoever and ride it for awhile. They haven't had a character this intriguing in well over a decade.

Was Black even on tv this week?

He's still on the main roster?

I'm not sure if he's on any roster

Heyman putting 2 singles together to form a team is out of his playbook as well.

Problem is Roode is just boring and Ziggler has been stagnant for so long that the audience just doesn't care anymore.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I like that tag team, a legit tag team division would be cool especially with so many damn people on the roster. Shame it wont happen.
