LOL they just aired a commercial for upcoming SD at the Providence Civic Center and it gives away some of tonight's roster changes.

So glad that the three most interesting women in the entire company, Nikki Cross and The Iconic Duo, are on SmackDown.

SD certainly got the better of the Shake Up. Jeff n Joe being the best ones. With D Bryan, AJ, and Nakamura staying. So, now I have no reason to turn on Raw except to see Seth and Ember Moon wrestle.

Raw looks shite. Rollins, Elias, Braun and catching glimpses of Jojo's phat ass as she leaves the ring doesn't feel like enough of a reason to keep watching. Also Cole and Coach have been extra annoying lately. Kurt picked a boring bunch of SmackDown mid-carders, only interest was what are Dolph and Drew gonna do. If Hardy and Wyatt actually do something interesting with say the Shield or something else in their own universe then maybe I'll be intrigued, but that Raw was flat, couldn't wait for it to end.

Sad that Bruno Sammartino passed away today, the guy was a true legend.

I dunno Drew's return to RAW was wasted imo. He should be able to get a huge pop, he's a beast - tall, agile and built, experienced and can wreck on the mic and he would be a good pick for winning this next rumble. Did they explain what the winner receives? Its very vague. Unless they (Dolph, Drew) create some sort of faction, its going to be a lame over-used scenario.

They've used the same people at the top for quite some time, I think its overdue for Roman and Lesnar's run to come to an end. Lesnar resigning was a boneheaded move, it may work out but I have a feeling its like a "I don't lose" contract. He's ruining the fight for that title and you should always have 5 top guys vying for that title. I think it was his match vs. AJ Styles, he was making AJ look bad because Lesnar was simply not up to it - I think he was completely exhausted at the time.

They have some amazing talent to play with and they just waste it.

Roman needs to get beaten to a pulp and refreshed, get him to return helping someone out or for a huge surprise return / pop. Build his character back up. He's no "Big Dog" (man I hate when Cole does that and it sounds like he swallows the mic when he does it LOL)

Greatest Rumble Card so far, they freakin' added AJ vs Nakamura.

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns in a steel cage match for the Universal title

Seth Rollins vs. The Miz vs. Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe in a ladder match for the Intercontinental title

This is looking like it'll go WrestleMania length with a card basically worthy of one. Kinda unbelievable they'd do that again in the same month.

We should probably do picks, with that card it has to be considered a PPV at this point. They are even pushing it on TV like mad.

They said 7 title matches when they announced the thing, and if they aren't having the women wrestle(which appears to be the case) then that's every other non-NXT belt.

Makes sense the girls will not be on the card. WWE women in their gear showing tons of skin would not fly there. WWE must want the Muslim world business just like they wanted the India market last year.

[Mordecay]

Yeah, the women are not going, Lana said it on an interview to TMZ, the same interview that originally caused that Rusev was replaced by Jericho in the Casket match.

It was kinda surprising to see SD get the best part of the Shake up, usually RAW strips SD of their best talent and sends a bunch of jobbers, but this time it was the other way around. Hell, the top 2 picks for RAW were Roode and Corbin, while SD got Asuka, Joe The Bar and Jeff Hardy, not counting Almas.

With how stacked SD is now it seems kinda weird doing the dual branded PPVs. The original thought was that this was done because they were having problems selling 2 PPVs a month, especially SD, but now with Bryan, AJ, Nakamura, Orton, Joe, Jeff Hardy, etc I don't think they will have that issue. In fact, some of those guys will suffer now since every PPV will be kinda like Night of Champions: All 8 titles defended, probably most matches will be multiperson matches and the other feuds will either end up on the pre-show or out of the PPV completely. The women are screwed the most I think.

Speaking of the women, I am dreading seeing Charlotte and Asuka killing all the the rest of the women on SD because, even without the Streak, Asuka most likely will be booked just as strongly as she was before and they are getting Charlotte ready for Ronda next year, so they most likely won't be putting many girls over, so Naomi and Becky will eat most of the pins, which won't help the heels since Naomi and Becky credibility is not that high.
