I agree

And honestly if the plan is for Nia to get that heel push (which it shouldn't be but it looks like it is), it's good for Alexa to be attached to her because it'll mean she won't get lost in the shuffle...
I'm sure AJ is happy to be on SD, he knows it's his show and has people he can do great things with. I doubt Charlotte cares she is going to queen there

I mean she'll turn eventually but right now they lost their top heel and brought in a new one so I doubt she's turning anytime soon.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Sasha vs Becky was better than Sasha vs Bayley. Best WWE match of 2015. That match made Becky.
She will then we getting Charlotte Vs Asuka which is going to be great.

Asuka still could potentially break any roster she's part of but now that the talent is more balanced she'd fit really good on Smackdown.
That's what I expect, but, honestly, I think Becky and Asuka would be a better match up.

Yup, a different version of when Sasha and Tamina were together

Like at least with Alexa talking Jax segments might be at least more entertaining.
Short term fix but it'll do... and though I said the reverse earlier Jax turning on Bliss and thus turning face might do Jax good sometime down the road because she seems far to nice in real life to be playing a baddie when she's not a good enough actor.
Good lord I can see Becky doing on of her fired up rambling promos and Asuka just doing her You Talk too much thing.

That wasn't the issue. The point is that people don't actually like her as much as people claim; it's not a defensible position to say Alexa Bliss gets the best reaction of all the women on the roster because it simply isn't true.
The fact that WrassleGAFfers mark out over Alexa Bliss (for whatever reason) doesn't translate to her being more popular than Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Becky Lynch or Bayley.

Does Orton need to be anything?
Amazing how quickly he got boring when he stopped being teamed with Bray...
I'm talking about the matches in specific, although I'd be ok with what you described, weirdly enough.
Nah I mean how AJ has been acting constantly screwed over. I could see them doing similar like she thinks she's a big shot but no one on SD cares.
He needs to be for his next feud with Corbin.
After that though unless he feuds with Owens, probably not.
They just need to keep Orton in two minute segments after the first segment, nice and early in the show.

I don't think anyone has said that... I'm arguably the biggest Bliss fan here and I haven't even said that...
What's been said is she gets good reactions... to which you replied yeah cause WrestleGaf is thirsty (and don't try an tell me you didn't mean thirsty as in folks want to fuck her)... so whatever dude.
I mean the reality is she's gotten good press, has gotten a lot of recognition for her mic and character work outside of GAF, and it's not because everyone want to have sex with her so...
You chose those words and what they imply (and it's not the first time someone has made that implication) and they were gross...
Like Kevin Owens is arguably at most say 5th in reactions on the men's side, now that Nak is around and Balor is back, behind at least: Nak, Balor, Jericho, AJ (and possibly even Rollins and Ambrose too) but it'd be idiotic to say Owens doesn't get good reactions and isn't popular.
I'm just loving how unpredictable SD is right now. Raw SS is going to be Brock/Roman or Brock/ Braun maybe Brock/Finn but SD so many possibles for SD.
Orton isn't a face or a heel. He's just... there.

That look Sasha Banks give when it looks like she's about to turn heel turns me on. Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.
Just an example on Sasha's look. I can only imagine.

Someone said she's the most popular female wrestler on the roster after the Four Horsewomen. But that isn't true either. Naomi, Mickie and Nikki Bella have all been consistently getting equal or greater reactions from crowds. It's not, in fact, a false statement to say that there are people on GAF who have expressed that they like Bliss because she's attractive. That's just human nature. The point is that people are confusing an overly positive reception of the character to the fandom at large. And as for the "implications" you just threw in there, I'm sorry but that's in your head. Nobody has ever expressed the opinion that Bliss isn't good for anything other than being hot. The proposition that certain members of the forum have ulterior motives for saying that specific wrestler is better than she actually is isn't an inherently offensive position; it has nothing to do with Bliss herself.

Didn't realise how tall Naks was until he made Ziggler look like a short arse. Must be all the posing he does.

Are they going to have a random Women's title at the new tournament that never gets defended on TV like the UK title?
Yeah, he's a legit 6'1". I'm guessing that has something to do with the amount of money they threw at him despite questionable English skills and having done very little promo work.
SDL is basically the Triple H's "guys" brand now. Except there aren't any heels on the brand. It's a bunch of faces that pretend to be heels and the crowd ignores their alignment.

I mean you sure as hell didn't make much other comments on the topic other than some jab about people being thirsty for her. You dragged that shit in to this.
And sure it has nothing to do with Bliss herself per say but it has everything to do with how people talk about celebrity women and their talents.
Largely what's been talked about with Bliss is her mic and character work, two things that have been largely recognized outside of GAF as well, it's not overrating her to say she's damn good at those things.
And no way has Mickie James gotten better reactions than Bliss...
The argument put forward based on nothing has been that Bliss wasn't popular period... I disagree, I think her reactions are solid, I think the company clearly believes in her enough to put her on ESPN, I think the wrestling press has clearly shown an appreciation for her and it isn't because she's hot, it's the bloody WWE they're all levels of hot.
UK show each week starting soon right?
It would just make the most sense for Asuka to give up the NXT Women's title so the tournament can crown a new champion.

Her mic and character work is fine, but I think she also has a very easy character to play. Bayley (babyface Sasha too, for that matter) has a really hard character to play, and she doesn't always succeed at it because its very hard to be a white-meat babyface in 2017. I consider Becky to be better than Bliss on the mic and at character work for that reason - she's playing a squeaky clean babyface that has to cut through a lot of corny writing.

Cena's still there and Orton does not actually work a full-time schedule (which is why I expect him to drop the title relatively soon)
Although given the current roster, it's bascially SmarkDown Live. The entire roster of that division is "dudes who smarks love."

If we're lucky randy can drop the title and to part time.

Umm Cena?

She's pretty damn over with the crowd. She got a lot of cheers last night when she came out.

Too bad Axel Dieter, Jr. is allegedly NXT-bound.
Papa Hunter gives and takes with the same hand.
