You might as well consider the Hype Bros in the tag division of SD. It's no coincidence Zack and Mojo ended up both on the same show.

 

[Sephzilla]

Some stiff competition for American Alpha right there.

Get ready for American Alpha vs Usos for the next 9 months

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Blame the Live Audio Wrestling people.

And it SHOULD be FaBreeze.

I still prefer Dancing with MySelfie.

Hey, the Usos are two-time tag champs. Don't knock 'em.
And the Hype Bros could be thrown at them as well.

 

[Chamber]

You can bet we'll see a braun/Big show feud

 

[Hidden One]

Get ready for American Alpha vs Usos for the next 9 months

Heel Uso's return? "We aren't your average Samoans"

 

[Permanently A]

Why does WWE have two shows and split up the talent? Why not one big show?

 

[serenewarfare]

My favorite moment was Balor getting drafted fifth because it shows how highly they think of him, which is kind of surprising.

 

[Judderman]

Somehow more coherent than Kalisto's promo.

 

[Horseress]

Oh man, pls no hype bros

 

[Anth0ny]

ricochet and ospreay will be on raw by the end of the year

they're going to go all out looking for flippy indie guys

 

[GunBR]

Well, fine by me if this means that they won't waste one of Brock appearences in a feud against Braun

 

[serenewarfare]

Ospreay is under NJPW contract. Ricochet can't show up until his LU non-compete expires.

 

[Sephzilla]

The 1:1 roster comparisons already have Raw at a huge advantage and that's not even factoring in that Raw is also going to get a crusierweight division exclusively to itself.

Raw is so stacked it's not even funny

 

[ReiGun]

They have more that they haven't debuted.

They have Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, Ember Moon, Nikki Storm. Then the less polished ones of Liv Morgan, Alliyah, Mandy and Daria who is doing a MMA gimmick.

Billie Kay was on Smackdown not too long ago. They just had her jobbing to Dana, but maybe she'll stick around.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Did everyone miss Sasha saying Bayley won't be her partner? Get ready for Brie Mode, brehs.

I'm hoping that's just a swerve to throw us off. I can't see who else Sasha could go for and if this isn't a permanent Bayley debut, it at least gives the casual fans who don't watch NXT a taste of her. Outside of Bayley I'd say Becky but she already has a match.

Stacked like Jenga... but we all know how that turns out.

I believe in Smackdown.

Isnt The Goddess Athena in NXT too?

This is her. I know, it sucks.

 

[Anth0ny]

wwe will find a way, I think. they tend to make these things happen, somehow.

 

[somedevil]

Well,

Spoiler

Billie Kay was in the next set of tapings.

 

[serenewarfare]

I wonder if that picture in picture thing will continue or if that was just a one-time thing. Seems odd to only do it once and never again. There weren't any long matches on the show with a break in them though, so we'll have to wait until next week to find out.

Guys, ACCEPT REALITY!

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

LOL NM

 

[melonrabbit]

I taped this. How much bitter disappointment should I expect upon viewing?

Oh buddy.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I'm the worst because honestly I wouldn't even mind a one-night Brie return.

 

[Ithil]

Billie Kay was on Smackdown not too long ago. They just had her jobbing to Dana, but maybe she'll stick around.

That was just her being used as enhancement talent because they were in Orlando. It would be absurd to call her up anyway given she hasn't done a thing in NXT other than job yet.

 

[RiccochetJ]

The Smackdown tag team division looks like it has the potential for some great matches. I'm a fan of all these teams and I'm happy that now they're going to get some dedicated time on camera.

I taped this. How much bitter disappointment should I expect upon viewing?

I think it could be good. I don't know what people are bitching about. The Smackdown women's division seems pretty weak though.

 

[Valentus]

you want this?

you'll get none.

 

[Toki767]

LOL NM

Logic sure prevailed tonight.

 

[Sephzilla]

Nakamura wasn't drafted and wasn't even acknowledge on TV and the guy he just beat went high in the draft

 

[shwimpy]

Did they nix Orton/Brock for SS seeing as how they got drafted to different brands? Or is that match gonna have zero buildup?

 

[Ithil]

The issue obviously is that they do not have the Tag titles.

Yeah, I agree. I like a lot of the teams there.

Also guessing Rowan and Harper will join the fray once Harper is finally healthy. They were a pretty awesome team before they brought the family back together.

 

[cLOUDo]

how is gonna work the feud between Orton and Lesnar?
they just gonna do a speech in each show without the other guy
or they can go to the other show?

 

[Ilive1up]

if heath slater doesn't show up to both raw and smackdown for the next few weeks and is escorted out, i'll be angry.

 

[ratcliffja]

So when will we get our first Japanese NXT callup? It doesn't seem like it will be any time soon.

 

[shwimpy]

So when will we get our first Japanese NXT callup? It doesn't seem like it will be any time soon.

Hopefully never. Rebrand NXT as New New Japan Pro Wrestling.

RAW After Mania

 

[Heroman]

SS is a both brand show, and to be honest there is good chance that brock will be suspended soon so expect zero build to the match.

 

[RiccochetJ]

True. I wonder how these titles are going to work going forward. Last thing I want is for them to essentially make duplicate titles. I thought having 2 heavyweight belts was dumb.

 

[bigosc2k]

Anyone got the draft results?

 

[chogidogs]

Hopefully never. Rebrand NXT as New New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Haha I was just about to joke about NJPW being carried on the network for some merger-ish thing.

 

[spindashing]

Totally got worked by Liu Kang.

This must be how it felt to be on the opposite side of my Joker Sting moment.

 

[NYR]

Why does WWE have two shows and split up the talent? Why not one big show?

This lets two crews travel and make more money. Plus it allows you to build more stars since people will have more tv time. Right now, no one watches snack down because nothing ever happens on snack down, only Raw.

 

[Chamber]

So when will we get our first Japanese NXT callup? It doesn't seem like it will be any time soon.

Nak after Mania probably. I have no idea what they plan to do with Itami.

 

[Jerm411]

LOL Mojo. Rawley.

Sucks Dillinger didn't get drafted instead....

 

[Piston Hyundai]

someone lineup a montage of all of liu kang's posts in this thread

and set it to this

 

[melonrabbit]

If Miz is on SD.

I guess I'm gonna be watching SD now

 

[UberTag]

LOL Mojo. Rawley.

Sucks Dillinger didn't get drafted instead....

Yeah, I don't know what they're doing with Dillinger.
Dude had a great showing at Takeover and hasn't been used in a month.
They did the same thing with Nia and she showed up here. Would only make sense to assume they were doing the same thing with Tye and then he's a no-show.
Perhaps he's hurt. Who knows?
