    Wow, that show died on it's arse, didn't it?

    I went to bed right before the Ricochet tag match because nothing they had advertised for later, other than the main event, appealed to me so it wasn't going to be worth staying up until 4:30. I had enjoyed the show to that point though. Just skipped through the rest of it now and everything including the main event was shite.

    The crowd royally shit on the main event and rightfully so.

    They could have had someone come out in some way relevant to either title(Bryan and Rowan would have made most sense), or they could have debuted someone from NXT out to make a name for themselves.

    What we got was disappointment. Followed by AEW, bullshit, CM Punk and we want refunds chants.

    Watching MLW on freesports. It's pretty great! Jimmy havoc licked blood off world champion filthy tom Lawler's face (also of f4w podcast fame) during the title match, Dan severn is in the 40 man battle royal and Cornette is on colour commentary.

    Is "Smackdown after Mania" not a thing? Because that show felt like any old random episode.

    Vince probably doesn't care enough for that to be a thing. Not that that helped Raw this week.

    I had Raw on in the background yesterday and it was the same, very little of interest. On the upside though, after three days of shouting at each other Cole & Graves could barely summon the energy to bicker endlessly.

    I haven't watched SD yet but fuck The Hardyz getting the tag belts.

    I loved them in the old days but they're a shell of their former selves.

    Oh but I'm meant to love them because they say DELETE all the time.

    I'm trying to think of possible NXT call-ups but I can't think of many.

    I imagine they'll officially add Aleister, Ricochet, Heavy Machinery , Lacey Evans etc to brands (not including Ciampa due to injury and Gargano as Vince apparently sees them as a duo). Outside of those I can only see Candace LeRae who has been mooted for a while and Kairi Sane. Could also see them calling up Pete Dunne and Rhea Ripley from the UK brand too.

    If they do indeed call up Rhea my word, they could make her an absolute game changer in the female division. They wont though obviously.

    Given the paucity of wrestlers at the top of the NXT card they'd be better off moving Yellow Peter there full time.

    In my scenario you'd still have:

    Johnny Gargano (I'm sure Vince wont let him on the main roster as a singles guy, he's not appeared once since Ciampa's injury)
    Velveteen Dream
    Adam Cole
    Dijakovic
    Keith Lee
    Matt Riddle
    Roddy Strong

    You could then call up Tyler Bate full time, get Punishment Martinez on the TV more and throw in Kushida.

    Thing is the nature of the SHAKEUP is that they need to rinse NXT a bit because if there aren't surprises people will, somewhat understandably, moan that it's been an anticlimax.

    But the main roster is absolutely fine, they just need to actually use the people they have properly. Vince calling up a few more people to misuse is a waste of everybody's time.

    The shake up is still shit. I know kayfabe is deader than ever (your finisher is fake, those aren’t real security guards etc) but it just makes zero sense within it. The old draft systems were all better.

    Don't they basically run the shake-up along the lines of the draft anyway? Or am I just thinking of the first part of the new brand split?

    That reminds of that HHH trade back to Raw back in the day though. For about three other people, wasn't it?

    The shake up is meant to be “trades agreed by the GMs” but they never go into detail as to who was traded for who so the SD GM always looks like a twat when all their top talents show up on RAW and they get a midcard tag team and a diva who hasn’t been seen for months in return.

    “Responsible for watching all shows...” pass.

    My friend is always threatening to write a book on wrestling precedent to properly codify the laws of the sport. He would be perfect for that.

    Watched SD.

    I'm seriously over Shane, that segment of his was fucking woeful.

    Also, Paige must be talking about the Sky Pirates which would be great. Io and Kairi

    My only tak away from last night is that holy shit Naomi and Bayley should've been tag partners the entire time. Their aesthetics match up perfectly. They've literally ruined Sasha Banks because of their inability to figure that out.

    Sasha ruined herself.

    Story is that she's had a massive chimpout over losing the titles, requested her release and refused to work this week.

    Obviously a work though considering Batley couldn't contact her on RAW.

    I'm preparing myself to seethe massively tomorrow when they call up Adam Cole but not the rest of UE destroying the storyline NXT were starting regarding a breakup.

    Edit: Oh and if Vince's tease isn't regarding Baroque I'll be shocked.

    So the tease was Roman, not Bork.

    I'd rank that as one of the better changes they've made, gets him away from Rollins so they can forget about the Shield for five minutes.

    I think that along with AJ and the Usos going the other way are some of the more sensible changes from the SHAKE UP.

    Before the show me and a mate were discussing who the big name to replace Styles would be and Reigns was the only logical
    one. Brock will end up there for sure but was never going to happen last night given he’s “fucked off to Las Vegas”. Some good moves although Miz seems to move every single time.

    I thought Miz was a slightly odd one if they're planning to keep him as a face following his feud with THE BEST IN THE WORLD because being a face gave him some other options for stuff going forward.

    And as you say, he seems to move every time.

    Sanity is officially done

    Eric Young gone to RAW and now Alexander Wolfe has said goodbye to THE UNIVERSE.

    Such a shame that they were killed on the main roster as they were fucking brilliant on NXT.

    Oh and Buddy Murphy could be brilliant on Smackdown.

    The end of Baszler / Sane on NXT was a bit odd given it's Sane's last match there.

    And Dream / Murphy was excellent.

    Samoa Joe is also heading to RAW apparently.

    Word is that he was to come out and start a feud with Boatman but was too sick so they buried EC3 instead.

    Would make sense considering Finn is now on SD.

    Yeah I did wonder about that and wasn't sure if I'd missed something. I hope EC3 going through the stage was just filler and that wasn't the plan for Joe...

    How many matches did they even have on the main roster?

    Tables match against New Day on the Extreme Rules pre-show and the handicap match against Miz?

    They were only on TV another 2 or 3 times and that was it.

    Absolutely mental.
