You know I give Rollins a lot of shit but Sheamus is the one who did end Bryan's career and Christian's. As Lance Storm said, he should reprimanded.

Wouldn't it be cool if they decided to let him wrestle one more match at the next Mania with his opponent being aj or Shinsuke?
Of course some tool is going to say, "Well that won't happen because I'm a stupid idiot and can't dream for a second. My life sucks!"
Ok so they've been teasing that shit a lot, which tag team will they split up? New Day? Enzo & Cass? Vaudevillains? Whoever it is I'm certain it'll be a stupid decision that will probably end up ruining someone's career, because this fucking company can never commit to pushing anyone in particular.
It'll be something like this
1. Tag Team gets split up
2. Vince pushes ex-tag team member A
3. Ex-tag team member A starts a feud against fucking Dolph Ziggler
4. Feud goes nowhere
5. Push ends
6. Ex-tag team member A gets future endeavored by next year
And of course we have ex-tag team member B who will get buried immediately and probably spend the rest of his WWE run bouncing between NXT and Main Event, kinda like Zack Ryder but even more depressing.

He looks like he is training to be Robin or the next speed racer or something.

The only kayfabe justification I could think of, and I doubt they'd care to give it, is to say that anyone directly involved in an NXT title picture right now (Bayley, Asuka, Nakamura, and Joe) wouldn't be a smart pick because they could end up NXT champions now or soon and would have to split time between SD/Raw and NXT. The GMs want full-time superstars.

Goddamn this first match is good. Liger vs Dragon from WCW/NJPW Supershow 3. Goes on for a long, long time.

Tell me they're not really going to split the women's roster are they? They don't anywhere remotely close to enough depth for two divisions even if they called up another five women from NXT.

Kinda wanna see bayley on raw
There are not 5 women in NXT ready to be called up, hell there are not even 5 women there ready for NXT TV.
Let be honest here they only use like 5 women so the yare good but what happens to the Women championship belt? Like if Charlotte is on raw and Becky is on smackdown how does Becky challenge for the belt?

Alexa and Bayley both seem likely to me. Wouldn't be surprised to see Nia Jax as well. She's actually related to the Rock.
I assume American Alpha, Balor and Dillinger are gonna get drafted too. I mean sure it makes no sense not to draft Samoa Joe and Nakamura but it's fake.

I have a great idea 😂😂
Since Raw has three hours, make the divas division exclusive to their brand.

Poor Asuka will spend the next 6 months feuding with Eva Marie

Have Nikki come back with the Divas title for Smackdown, claim it's clear that it was wrong to leave girls to do a woman's job. Forearm Sasha, and then yell FEARLESS.

Six NXT call ups? Too many.

They have other girls they just haven't done anything with them, e.g. Nikki Storm, Athena, etc.

Eh, I disagree. Finn has done everything. Bayley's time there has passed. They can't keep Tye there unless they plan on pushing him. American Alpha is the best team in the company and should be on the main roster. Guys like Nakamura, Joe, or Aries should have been on the main roster yesterday.
The only really unnecessary call-up I see them making is Nia Jax because they don't want to make her NXT women's champion and her gimmick can't work if she's constantly losing feuds.

Apparently this idiot entered a contest, placed 5th then the judges found out and banned her forever from competing
If he dyed his body green, he could've been a doibledouble in the tnmt movie. No cgi needed.

holy shit at the spot Darby Allen just took

Bayley and Balor are almost 100% sure
Nia, Tye and American Alpha look the safe bet for the other 4 spots
Maybe they call some other names like Aries, Eve, Revival, but I would be completely surprised if Joe, Nakamura and Asuka are one of the 6 chosen ones.
She's Rock cousin dammit
In the main roster will start the "gotta make Nia look strong" plan

Tags are drafted as a unit, so American Alpha only count as one pick.
