Sorry Braun, you're not enough for me to watch Raw anymore.

Miz

 

[ramoisdead]

Have Jinder yell at everyone and call them fat.

There's your gimmick.

 

[cordy]

Alright...

With The New Day on SDL, I'd say that the roster might be even with some great booking on SDL's side (but they always have that). We've got potential for Kofi or Big E being world champion at some point and with all the different match-ups, it's a great mix. Raw's got some better talent that they can actually use to put on better matches. Overall if this is the end of stars who will be drafted? I'm A-Ok with it. Looks great on paper for both sides tbh.

I'm all in for watching both programs. Great job WWE.

 

[bbd23]

damn rip finn

 

[Majukun]

Hold up
I could understand not liking him I guess
But...not seeing how charismatic he is?
There's charismatic wrestlers and then there's Shinsuke
He's the measuring pole

all i see is a guy making weird faces and moving his arms and hands like he is trying to enchant a snake
the definition of trying too hard

but since it's working for so many people,i suppose it's a matter of taste..or if you liked michael jackson or not when you were younger

 

[Bluekaveli]

Are the Shining Stars supposed to be a bigger thing than the New Day? Because they completely wasted that surprise on them

Well the time was right for shining stars was great, they needed to debut like that. New day is so over, they don't need it.

 

[excelsiorlef]

So looks like The Club reunion is truly out. Unless they show up here and I doubt it cause I'm guessing AJ is face again.

 

[Xion385]

They're giving them 20 mins? 4 stars minimum!

 

[Bronx-Man]

Sami looks like that guy that won't shut up about these new Mac DeMarco records he just bought on vinyl.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Finn really came from injury just to get a fucking concussion.

 

[Sinatar]

The Shining Stars fell through the bottom of the barrel into the grime the cockroaches hide in under the barrels.

 

[mightynine]

Miz

Already jobbed out on his first night.

 

[Anth0ny]

SD roster SHITS on Raws right now.

I don't even have to suffer through any shield members and their cringeworthy scripted dialogue, or another spooky bray wyatt promo that means nothing.

I legit have zero interest in Raw right now.

Probably want to wait until Kofi is healed up.

 

[avengers23]

Says a lot that Nakamura is as over in week 2 as he was in week 1.

Writers haven't had a chance to fuck him up yet.

 

[serenewarfare]

If they do dual MITBs this year, Sami for Smackdown's seems like a safe bet.

MITB is a SD-only show this year.

 

[slightconfuse]

Rusev is on SD?

My boy might become champion.!!

 

[FloydtheFathead]

So looks like The Club reunion is out.

Finn teams with the Club against the Wyatts?

 

[TimeEffect]

Ahhh yes. Best part or AJ on Smack is his announcer


Luke Harper shouldve been in this match

 

[LiQuid!]

Who wins this? Seems weird to rush Sami and KO. AJ legitimately chasing this title seems off. Corbin is too heel-y for a KO program...

 

[Violence Jack]

New Day is on SD?

I feel like I have little to no reason to watch Raw anymore.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I will say this about the Shining Stars. If SD gets serious about trying to fix their tag team division, I could see them figuring out proper heel characters for SS.

Fuck, I thought the Uso's were garbage, but their run as heels has been great when they've been given the chance to wrestle and do their shit.

Who knows.

TONIGHT IS MAKING ME WANNA BE OPTIMISTIC OKAY?

 

[Rimfya]

Miz

Miz without Talking Smack is DOA.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Are they going to split Lana from Rusev and have her finally drop the accent?

 

[RecRoulette]

SmackDown cut most of their dead weight and got JUICED up. Plus they added a ton of other great people too.

 

[NightOnyx]

I'm so happy Sami is on Smackdown. I hope he gets the push that he deserves.

 

[Sinatar]

Yea thinking on it, the only thing I'd watch RAW for The Miz but I know he's going to be horribly misused there.

 

[serenewarfare]

Only parts of Raw I want to see are Sasha and Finn. And Jinder killed Finn. So Raw will be light viewing at best for me in the immediate future.

 

[Beefy]

Both Raw and Smackdown look better roster wise now. I wonder if the Smackdown writer got drafted to Raw?

Miz without Talking Smack is DOA.

Sure he is....

 

[Skatterd]

 

[excelsiorlef]

Finn teams with the Club against the Wyatts?

What Wyatts? They're all on Smackdown lol.

But if they turn Club face that could actually work if Wyatt got a new family.

Yeah like I said before, Epico and Primo are good workers and I think they can promo average at best. They just need a gimmick that can actually define them for once.

This basically my wet dream from the draft. I will miss The Miz, but he is going to be just fine over on Raw.

I will not be watching Raw for the foreseeable. SmackDown Live is going to reach new heights with this roster.

 

[yuraya]

There is no room for Cena on SmackDown anymore. I think he will go to RAW and continue doing that Miz feud whenever he returns.

Would love to see Cena vs Nakamura tho. That would be a 5* match.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Damn, if Miz had stayed, I'd have no reason to watch Raw.

I still think losing him is a big blow (moreso for him than Smackdown, but still for the show), but the Blue Brand has made out like bandits tonight.

Its like some old man was trying to figure out the reason Smackdown was being successful and came up with Dean and Wyatt as the reason.

 

[NastyBook]

Is it wrong that I want to see Nakamura with New Day in an 8 man tag?

You just willed it to happen. Excellent work. Also, Nak on SuperStar Savepoint!

Perfect timing. LMAO

Only thing saving Raw is Balor, Ambrose, Wyatt, and Strowman. The rest can burn.

 

[Barrage]

RAW is sitting on pocket aces with a SHIELD VS Finn/Club feud down the road.

 

[Pikma]

I want Hardys and Revival on SD now

 

[excelsiorlef]

And guys not only did SD get better via addition they got better via subtraction... Otunga is fucking gone!

Get rid of JBL and GOAT brand of all time.

 

[Beefy]

What Wyatts? They're all on Smackdown lol.

The Shield


Fuck off TJP

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

My guess is New Day had a scheduled night off, or maybe were traveling to work a house show.

[Syder]

I don't care, I'm not bored of this feud. 🤷🏻

 

[serenewarfare]

It really should happen. Makes way too much sense on every level. Especially considering Finn and Roman have unfinished business.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Loserweight?

 

[FloydtheFathead]

What Wyatts? They're all on Smackdown lol.

I forgot they left them on Smackdown..

I would figure they would have him get new people.

 

[plagiarize]

Workers want to be on SmackDown. Everyone else seems to get a chip on their shoulder and they bust their asses twice as hard to get noticed.

Its all good unless they sabotage Talking Smack.

The only thing that interests me about Raw right now is the tag division, Hardyz, Sheamus and Cesaro, Revival, some good stuff.

Their main event scene is good enough, but we all know it's the Reigns show regardless of them having Joe or Finn Balor, plus they'll push the shit out of a possible shield angle. It feels all been there done that.

I wish we could have one last trade and save poor Joey from Raw, I bet he's dying to be on SD.
