WWE Show Discussion

Damn, if this feud doesn't turn into a bloodbath that'd put Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels to shame, I'll be disappointed

That's the second time Drew got Punk wheeled out, but I don't remember Punk doing that much damage to Drew 

 

Also, Dominik is so good. I've been watching some of his interviews on TikTok, and the mans just stays in character in the most hilarious ways.

WWE sure does love its tournament qualification matches, doesn't it? Love that Ilja won, I hope he does win the fatal four way

WWE should do another women-only PLE.

As much as I would love that too, half of the womens division is currently irrelevant, sadly. The tag team titles still to this day feel unimportant, and some of the women out there, as good as they might be in the ring, have the charisma of a cardboard box. They reaaally need to work on the division before doing that ple.

They can contract women out of WWE as well like they did last time, no? 

 

The tag team titles going back to Bianca and Jade made no sense though, could have been a perfect moment for them to start feuding. 

[PaperThinWalls]

That would be way too soon. They need to be together for a decent length for us to feel the weight of the turn.

[dje_wba]

Yeah, I agree. Presumably when they do split it will lead to a match at next year's Wrestlemania, which is still seven and a half months away, and though Triple H does like to extend stories for longer than the previous regime did, I think even that would be a bit much for him.

[T-Hell]

Who turns, though?

[PaperThinWalls]

Although it would be refreshing to get a heel Bianca, I think Jade is better as a heel, so I’d say her.

how long? Haven't they been together for at least four months?

[PaperThinWalls]

They’ve been together since WM, so about five months. I say maybe double that and you’ll get to when they should break up.

[T-Hell]

They are probably aiming towards Wrestlemania for the eventual grudge match.

[M3J]

Ugh, I hope they feud for the main title, that'd be a great match.

I’d buy a street trash shirt tbh

I stand corrected. Not when it looks like that.

[Graeme Jones]

Just seen the Street Trash shirt. Who the *Censored* would want that?! Jesus Christ!

[Lumen]

What a *censored*ing match!

 

 

[M3J]

[Lumen]

Bill *censored*ing Goldberg ... Gunther had me dead..

So, I've seen a bunch of people on youtube and such suggesting that Cody will turn on Roman at Bad Blood and I just don't see how that makes sense. Cody right now is the standard corporate babyface of the company, with Roman now. I'm pretty sure Cody's wrestlemania match will be against a heel Orton. Cody will eventually turn heel I guess (unless they wanna make him unturnable like Cena), but not yet, imo.

Apparently, Cody has said he doesn't want to be a heel. I have yet to see proof of that though.

Anyway, SD was great. Love the new intro video package and the new SD logo. But I was pissed off, the end of SD was cut short on TNT Sports (UK) so I had to look it up on YouTube. I hope this does NOT happen again!!

Turning Cody heel at his peak would make no sense from a business PoV, when he's extremely popular. Do they just want to see a heel Cody? 

 

ONe thing I hate about the new move with Smackdown is that I can't watch the replay on Hulu, only on USA's app, which will be annoying if I want to cancel my cable. 

[PaperThinWalls]

Awesome Punk promo. He sold the cell so well. Great delivery, too.

This New Day drama is pretty refreshing.

[M3J]

The way Bronson just threw an audience member at Braun though

[M3J]

Sami countering Kaiser's whatever that is into a German suplex was brilliant

Yeah, they're probably a bunch of daydreaming teens who think they know how storytelling and character arcs work lol.

[M3J]

I mean I get why they want Cody to turn heel, I kinda do too, but that's bad for business at this point. I think turning Austin heel would have been a great move, but he was too popular for people to really boo him. I wonder if they're going to turn Roman heel or if they plan on Roman vs. Rock for Wrestlemania, possibly have Rock be the actual boss behind the Bloodline.
