[ClockShot]

Wait. So, DIY, Black, and Ricochet are going to be bouncing between both brands like the other recent (botched) NXT call ups?

I'm just confused how things are going these days. And I'd be damned if I'm not the only one.

[Fignuts]

It’s a fucking mess

[slik]

Yes, none of the callups from this batch or the previous have been assigned a brand yet. Meltzer speculated none of them will be until the post WM 'superstar shakeup'.

[GD]

Wow! What a clusterfuck of a situation.

I'm just confused how things are going these days. And I'd be damned if I'm not the only one.

According to the sheets, this is pretty much WWE "thinking out of the box" and taking risks to fix their sagging ratings which shows how dire they are on the Creative side of things.

Somehow they got even more lazy coming up with plans and ideas for callups for their debuts. Like this might be peak laziness for WWE.

[ClockShot]

My head literally hurts right now.

[erickman]

lets hope the crowds are better tonight last night sucked

[RP]

6-man tag match PLAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I feel like Shane has aged 10 years since 2018.

[RP]

This is boring as fuck

[rez]

Purdue IU game 20-20 at half time.... Is SDL! that bad?

[xrodmuc316]

Feels Miz is so much weirder than arrogant Miz

[slik]

Wrap This Segment Up Plz

[RP]

Jimmy drunk already!

[xrodmuc316]

On the flip side, the Usos have been killing it on the mic since this day one ish run started.

[ClockShot]

No rematches, Shane.

NEW ERA! REMEMBER?!

[ClockShot]

:nono:

[slik]

No more Shane wrestling plz

[ClockShot]

Sweet entrance, Al.

[A.J.K]

Better reaction than last night

[KIRA]

Miz sucks so bad as a face

[A.J.K]

Black vs Andrade

[Emperor Smeat]

Much better setup for Black's entrance than last night on RAW.

Waited just long enough for the white smoke to cover Black's lift before he did his rise spot. Last night, they did it way too early and not enough smoke had poured out.

[slik]

Tom Phillips already doing a better job for Aleister Black than Michael Cole.

I hope Tom goes to RAW when/if Cole retires.

[A.J.K]

Much better setup for Black's entrance than last night on RAW.

Waited just long enough for the white smoke to cover Black's lift before he did his rise spot. Last night, they did it way too early and not enough smoke had poured out.

Better reaction too.

[KIRA]

9 if they handle him right Aleister black could be absolutely huge

[rez]

My stream just ran a World Wildlife Foundation ad. lol

[ClockShot]

Black vs. Almas?!

PICK A SIDE, ZELINA!

Side note: This is gonna be totally awkward.

[RP]

They should have Zelina turn on Cien Almas during this match.

[KIRA]

Zelina Vega secretly blowing kisses to Aleister black whenever Andrade turns his back

[slik]

Aleister's wife in Andrade's corner

[ClockShot]

Zelina: "GET HIM, CIEN!"

Zelina *moving lips, not saying words*: "I'm just kidding, honey."

[A.J.K]

I'd like to see DIY vs Hardy and Mysterio tonight ,but they probably won't be the opponents.

[KIRA]

Again you think they would debut Aleister black as a just a being of Shear Force who crushes his opponent but no 50-50 booking

[KIRA]

It's like this whole audience is an apology for last night

[GD]

Again you think they would debut Aleister black as a just a being of Shear Force who crushes his opponent but no 50-50 booking

I couldn't agree more.

[ClockShot]

That was a damn good match.

Should have opened the show to get the crowd pumping.

[Emperor Smeat]

Black vs El Idolo was really good.

Much better showing for Black than last night with Elias.

[GD]

"Fight forever" chants

[slik]

God this crowd is 20x better than yesterday

[Savio]

So WWE fumbled the last set of NXT call ups within a year they need to bring new ones up.

[GD]

DIY versus The Bar! YES! YES!

[ClockShot]

Honestly think The Bar should think about separating down the road.

They had a couple good tag title runs. But, I think they've run their course.

[slik]

DIY vs The Bar

Yesssssss

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: a pancake branch.

[slik]

KOFI

[A.J.K]

DIY vs The Bar

Yesssssss

That should be really good.

:rofl:

[A.J.K]

Smackdown already 100x better than raw

[xrodmuc316]

Lol so let me get this straight, NXT's singles champions are only a tag team on the main roster??

This shit is so confusing.

And why wouldn't EC3 be coming out pissed that these callups are all having their 2nd match in 2 days, and he hasn't even got to speak yet in like 2 months.

[GD]

Smackdown already 100x better than raw

Does Vince also produce Smackdown? Is there any crossover as far as creative is concerned?

[A.J.K]

Should be a good six-man.

DIY vs The BAR next!!!

[GD]

This shut is so confusing.

And why wouldn't EC3 be coming out pissed that these callups are all having their 2nd match in 2 days, and he hasn't even got to speak yet in like 2 months.

I remember playing 2K19 and Corey Graves saying that Drew McIntyre returned and became a world champion when he won the NXT Championship after defeating Bobby Roode :lol:

[ClockShot]

TAZ?!

No. False alarm.

[GD]

Fulfilling a prophecy first laid out by WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon years earlier, Drew McIntyre captured a world championship in a WWE ring when he defeated Bobby Roode to claim the NXT Title at TakeOver: Brooklyn III.

[xrodmuc316]

Probably will once Sheamus retires within the near future due to his spinal situation.

Sheamus can still go in the ring offensively, but he can't take big bumps, or many bumps at all really, with spinal stenosis. Hidden in a team with a great worker partner is all he can do, and I would think he will do it as long as poissible.

From Cesaros side, I think he knows WWE will never go full with him as a singles wrestler, even though he if they ever have him a shot he would do great. For him it is better to be a top tag guy than a low mid card singles guy.

[ClockShot]

That camera man was in a tight spot.

[GD]

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/RareUnfortunateBluebottle-max-1mb.gif

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Ciampa's knee.

Guess on the bright side, at least Sheamus didn't land squarely on his nuts from that botched sunset powerbomb landing.

[RP]

ouch

[ClockShot]

Oooooooooooooh.

That didn't look good.

[GD]

Oh fuck! That did not look good.

[slik]

AGGGGGHHHH Ciampa's Knee

[ClockShot]

Ooof.

Everyone's hurting after that match.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ciampa/Gargano vs The Bar was pretty good overall.

[GD]

That was a solid tag team bout.

[slik]

Big Win for Gargano and Ciampa and Good match!

[ClockShot]

Hey. Eric Young is still employed.

[GD]

Samosa Joe

[RP]

ASUKA IS ALIVE!!!!!

[A.J.K]

Ricochet vs Eric Young

[tman220]

Lacey Evans will come out now

[slik]

Asuka lives

[erickman]

Ricochet vs Eric Young

good to see eric get work

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice of Smackdown to remember to wake Asuka out of her mini-hibernation.

[Evil Vito]

Asuka’s a sexy nerd

[ClockShot]

Mandy's ready, apparently.

[RP]

Mandy Rose needs to shit in my nostrils

[slik]

Mandy has CENA NUFF

[Evil Vito]

I want my head to be crushed in between Mandy Rose’s thighs

[ClockShot]

And here's Lacey Evans out to kill the pace of the whole show.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder how much WWE is paying Lacy to just do fashion walks on the ramp.

Also that pretty much killed the flow of this match.

[slik]

Maybe those Asuka vs Lacey rumors Dave Meltzer mentioned are true for WrestleMania...

[tman220]

I predict Bryan will face Mysterio for the title at Fastlane

[xrodmuc316]

Are we back to Asuka slipping on banana peels again???? When does Elsworth come back in an Asuka mask again?

[Emperor Smeat]

:| Mandy beat Asuka.

[slik]

MANDY DOMINATION

[KIRA]

Bullshit

[rez]

Okay. Watching now. Purdue won a butt ugly bball game so happy.

I miss anything...good?

[RP]

ROFL Big E

[Emperor Smeat]

Okay. Watching now. Purdue won a butt ugly bball game so happy.

I miss anything...good?

Aleister Black vs Andrade and Ciampa/Gargano vs The Bar matches were pretty good.

[slik]

I foresee Ricochet, Aleister Black, Ciampa and Gargano all getting super over in time on RAW and SDLive

[tman220]

or Mustafa Ali

thanks

[Emperor Smeat]

Why do I have a sinking feeling that the big payoff for the Kevin Owens segments is going to be something terrible.

[KIRA]

I wonder did Daniel Bryan check to see if all of Rowan shirts
Were made from renewable materials

[tman220]

Owens vs Bryan at Fastlane

[slik]

Why do I have a sinking feeling that the big payoff for the Kevin Owens segments is going to be something terrible.

I think he's going to return more sinister/dangerous than ever tbh

[tman220]

is it a coincidence he keeps eating and talking about food?

[xrodmuc316]

is it a coincidence he keeps eating and talking about food?

It's like Vince knows he has lost some weight, so he wants to get some fat guy eating segments in before it doesn't make sense.

Not that it makes sense on a wrestling show anyways lol

[KIRA]

Heels are outnumbered that's not cool

[Emperor Smeat]

Main event was really good.

Pretty great show tonight overall.

[KIRA]

I had fun the thing with Asuka aside it was fun
Kingston's time has come at last I'm also impressed that he's able to get the momentum back he had so many years ago the dude is awesome

[KIRA]

The only reason raw has as many pages as it does is because there are 3 hours worth of complaining to do you know because it sucks

[slik]

Good ep

[rez]

The only reason raw has as many pages as it does is because there are 3 hours worth of complaining to do you know because it sucks

I'm happy you're taking the reigns for Smack Down now. I resign as the SDL! fan leader.

Product sucks!

That's all.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I had fun the thing with Asuka aside it was fun
Kingston's time has come at last I'm also impressed that he's able to get the momentum back he had so many years ago the dude is awesome

Yeah, I legit believe now he will be chasing the belt until at least WM, and I think if it is him and Bryan at the granddaddy of them all that there would be no better time to pull the trigger on him and give him a long-deserved title run. Hell, they probably should've pulled the trigger on him c.2011-2012.

Almas

How long until Vince decides he doesn’t think “Aleister” is a mainly enough name. Black better get another one or set of initials ready.

No one mentioned how when it was Kofi vs Orton Kofi got up and started yelling STUPID like Orton did when Kofi missed a spot and Orton basically got Kofi's push taken away (Dunno if he did that at EC I didn't see the match) but I thought it was hilarious on SD
