Jean Pierre Lafitte?When is Reigns gonna show up with a pony tail, eye patch, and shrapnel in his forehead?
I chose the right time to be in a country that don't show WWE at a timely manner for three weeks

I am honestly VERY excited for Smackdown. I think it just needs a bit better of a midcard and it'll be fine. Hopefully they get a lot of the surprises over the next few months.
I'm pretty sure Smackdown is getting Bayley for one thing, but some rando ass midcarders would really fill things up.
Because Roman seemed like the guy, I guess.
Rollins was PRIMED for a face return. That fucking minidoc could've put him so over as a babyface that knew he was wrong and wanted to come back right. WWE fucked up, now they can fix it.
nah, we gotta let Sunny have them cheap pops mentioning that podcast

That's not inherently a bad thing?
Someone can get their shit together in that time, especially if he had to deal with that much pressure/expectations. He knows the situation with the fans hating him, it's just a matter of him trying to learn "why" and work towards fixing it or just saying "who cares I do this for kids" and not changing
Maybe if it wasn't called the Curb Stomp.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The only thing I think that episode could really improve is having Finn look a little more badass even if he's a little dude rather than coming off like the later-era goofy Daniel Bryan.

Romans career was ruined when he won the 2015 Rumble. I truly believe there is no way to salvage this guy, unless he gets a major repackaging and booking treatment.

We're going for many surprises tomrrow. I hope no one has broken televisions because it would be so un cool to miss what's in store tomorrow night.

Oh I just realized. Virtually no Seth Rollins on this show. So good.
They lucked into the whole Roman thing if you think about it. Seth hasn't done anything truly heelish since coming back besides being right about Roman and dissing the fans. Nothing that couldn't be fixed in a program with a heel as hell reigns.
RAW felt good and fresh today. That could fade after the new sheen wears off, and they don't have so many major things happening, but for this week, it was a fine episode.
Also it's true, if you just commit to the right talent, you can make a new star in one night, not two yers.

They have this thing where characters switch alignments that makes more sense now than it ever made sense before and they didn't pull the trigger.
His last three appearances on TV involved him losing clean, so I wouldn't be surprised if they end up going that way.

Same I was sure Balor and Jericho was gonna feud for a few months. It'll be interesting to see where Reigns goes from here..I really think they need to turn him heel.
It really got to me today how huge a difference there is between how hot Finn can be when he's "on" and how much of a dork he can come across as when he's not hehe
It's kind of endearing
lol good callback, I remember those posts
The whole issue with Roman was they pushed him much too hard, much too fastly. People wanted to like Roman and did like Roman but he should have been an upper midcarder for a little while that showed as a visible threat to the championship before jumping right in the mix.
course Finn getting pushed immediately into a world title championship on one of WWE's biggest PPV for a brand new title seems like way too much way too soon but what do I know.

The fallout from this show is way more important than what happened tonight. There needs to be a ton of character development in the next few months. The amount of power shifts in the last 2 nights is huge. The roster has to react and evolve. Reigns, Rollins, AJ, Gallows and Anderson, Finn, Cena, Bray, etc. should all have a ton to say by next week.

I agree, Sasha's win was the right move.
He got the heel announcer treatment in two of those losses as well. Last night and tonight, though last night was sort of camouflaged by blatant brand favoritism. It's coming unless they truly fuck up.

In a Kayfabe world where Brock Lesnar is the mayor of Suplex City? I think not.
Oh no I agree.
I still have hope that Roman will has his "Rocky -> The Rock" moment.
We should all hope so. The more talent in the business the better.
Well, after last year Mania Roman spend six months fighting Big Show and the Wyatts until he fought for the title again, and this only happened because Seth got hurt
I can see they doing the same thing again

No way.
I was listening to https://streamable.com/9amv in the background as the match started and it worked really well.

The correlation of Sasha winning the title on any Raw just like Eddie won at any ole ppv. Kinda cool.

Aw man, Smackdown has a lot to live up to tomorrow.
Those fights were really good too, it's just no one liked RR anymore because of the rumble.

Reigns screwed Reigns
They were completely fine with two years of him being booed and stuck by him the whole way. He fucked up by deciding to take whatever drug failed that test.
I can't believe he had everything in his hand and squeezed

The absolute best thing they could do with Smackdown tomorrow is model the show after NXT
Keep it with the smaller feel and I think they can make it work
If they make it "Raw but worse".....good luck

I kind of expect a really big SD main event tomorrow night. Cena vs. AJ #1 contender's match perhaps?
