What the brand split has really meant for me is that instead of watching Raw every week, I just watch SD every week. It's just changed my wrestling night from Monday to Tuesday. I'll use it as background noise and watch sporadically, but there's no reason to watch every Raw. There's no reason to consume all of WWE's content. Half of it sucks.

Yeah, but before it both Raw and SD sucked and dealt with Authority BS. Now only Raw sucks.
Sasha gets shoved up Nia Jax's arse.
I can't even imagine what it would like constantly driving and flying with the odd day a month home. I guess having the right mentality for the road schedule is just as important as any other wrestling aspect.

She's not like most girls. She's into Sunny's Booty Eating Revolution.
Universal Championship continues to be a joke. They shouldn't even put it on the main card. Get it out of the way on the pre-show.
Fortunately, when Roman "THE GUY" Reigns wins the WWE Championship from Barack Lesnar at Wrasslin'Mania 33, he will bring the actual top title back to the premier show in sports and entertainment.

Raw is a joke

Yeah, pretty much.
No Jericho match at HellCell. I was expecting a rematch with Sami Zayn, but I guess it's not meant to be.
Card seems decent, but I still think it would've been better if Reigns vs. Rusev was a different stipulation. This was the perfect time for a Ladder Match too. I'm guessing the opening match is going to be The New Day, then we get Roman Reigns in all his glory.

You won't get your ladder match on Raw, the stupid PPV naming scheme has meant that Smackdown gets the TLC PPV. They really should just scrap those.

Absolutely not. We went from trash Raw and trash SD to trash Raw and good (sometimes great) SD. I'll take that deal every time.

I'm excited for Sasha to frankensteiner Charlotte off the top of the cell
No it wasn't. Made Smackdown good and made new people become over and the ratings have increased.
Also, John Pollock confirming that Sasha vs Charlotte will go on last.
TNA finds a way
Smackdown isn't a good show, it just isn't pure zhit when compared to raw. And reason for this whole brand split was to boast smackdown ratings which it didn't do. At a certain limit when there is a feud between Nikki and carrmela you got to ask yourself why.

Exactly what I was saying in the Sasha/Charlotte thread.
WWE being self congratulatory over doing what other promotions were doing in the forties.

No, SD is a good wrestling show irrelevant of Raw,
And it absolutely has boosted SD's ratings. Look at any YoY comparison. SD has higher ratings now than it did both this time last year and when it made the switch to USA in the first place.

It was known, he's an all lives matter guy
Its the best feud on Raw and this is a Raw show
It isn't really. I'm still not sure why they're fighting.

And it's going to give us Raw Talk, too, because Raw can't tell stories with the three hours they already have.

What Cell match would you put over it though? The Roman/Rusev feud where the babyface is acting like the heel and vice versa? Or the Owens/Rollins feud where the tension is so non-existent that they need Jericho to get it over and the guy who started the feud won't show up until after football season because he doesn't want to seem like a non-draw?

It was because as of Tuesday Owens/Rollins was going last, but apparently everyone but Vince wanted the women to go last and yesterday Vince relented and said yes.
A ladder match would have been so good. They should have never made these gimmick PPVs.
The alternatives are
bully Roman vs babyface Rusev
botched babyface turn Seth vs overshadowed by a list KO
The choice is fine
so you're saying they're still going 3rd to last because Vince will have his ways 10 minutes before the match right?

eh, Charlotte is probably the best pure heel the WWE has going right now and aside from the #women'sRevolution nonsense they tacked on to it it's still a better booked feud than Owens/Rollins and Rusev/Reigns at this point. The Universal Championship was joke anyway once they decided to call it the Universal Championship.

Pfft, you just want to see Reigns do the spear off the ladder spot from WM X-Seven, friend.

Nah, Meltzer has said that match order is set the morning of the show and rarely changes once it is actually set the day of due to the fact that they have to time the show out and rehearse.
There no heat for this macth or feud, like never do I get the feeling that Charlotte and Sasha hate each other, not to mention the feud has gone way to long for me care.
Get out of my mind!
The old veteran fighting for his one more chance THE Bryan Kendrick Vs TJ Perkins.
Nah, I guess it doesn't matter which went last. They've all had terrible builds.
This entire Raw show has no heat to speak of

Charlotte vs Sasha has been amazing compared to Seth and Owens' feud. It's still shit but the Universal Title feud is just insanely bad. It's downright terrible Sasha is being written like she's super excited for this match. The only highlight is the potential chance they go overboard and actually have Nia Jax rip the cell door off, but then that just means we get Banks vs Jax as an actual feud.
The thing is Smackdown will probably have a women's table match for TLC and have the build be how it should be with the women (likely Becky vs Nikki) not making the whole thing about progression.

To be honest The whole wwe had no heat
Why again do you expect this one feud to have a great buildup?
I didn't, if wwe is going to do this history making match do it right no half ass it.
Ah yes, the old fossil Kendrick (37) fighting against the barely out of the womb hero (32) TJ.
I love how they assume people can't tell.
Speaking of TJ,

LET'S RELOAD THIS SAVE ON THE CONVERSATION AND TALK SOME SENSE BEFORE I MAKE YOU LOSE A LIFE, BUDDY.
We just watched them fucking up Bork Heyman. By WWE standards its pretty good.
