[ozzman6669]

What are they saying

On s'en caliss ! means we don't give a fuck !!

[GD]

Big Traps Elias.

[rez]

Reigns is totally interrupting this.

Winner Winner

[ClockShot]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Triple A]

Pretty smart how they did this (if it's Reigns)

[rez]

Well, that's a way to not have RR booed

[KIRA]

I can't tell if Elias was throwing shade at Vince McMahon or not I hope so with that finger on the pulse comment

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh FFS.

[ClockShot]

Vince just wants to whip it out right now.

[Lock Jaw]

Roman Reigns on Smackdown.... can't wait for the colossal Roman Reigns vs Kofi Kingston match

[KIRA]

No...please god no

[Evil Vito]

"Taking the rei(g)ns..." enjoying Elias new gimmick as a wandering prophet.

[GD]

The Big Dog has arrived! Bah Gawd! Boomer sooner! Boomer sooner!

[rez]

Rollins is on his own on RAW. It's not bad

[GD]

Vince is dead.

[Triple A]

Pretty good SmackDown

[slik]

SD is the new flagship show with Roman Reigns here on brand blue , along with Becky, Finn, Kofi, Orton, DBry, Charlotte, KO and more.

[KIRA]

Welp Smackdown is ruined
Jk

[erickman]

Pretty good SmackDown

got 7 pages

[GD]

A "WeRateDogs™" moment. Big Doggo 15/10 :yes:

[rez]

eh, at least after RR wins the title, he'll be around and defend.

[KIRA]

Smackdown is stacked AF

[rez]

probably gonna set up a RR/Lars match

[rez]

Women Division is stacked as fuck...under card isn't bad at all, either.

[Evil Vito]

Aiden English (technically)
Alicia Fox
Becky Lynch
Bo Dallas
Braun Strowman
Brock Lesnar
Curtis Axel
Dana Brooke
Daniel Bryan (then-GM)
Nia Jax
Randy Orton
Rowan
Seth Rollins
Titus O'Neil

Barring any more moves getting announced on Twitter, that's everybody from the 2016 draft that's stayed on the same brand.

[Triple A]

@slik how does that Roman Reigns fan feel about this... forgot his Twitter account

[GD]

Who's going to move to 205 Live tonight?

[rez]

Aiden English (technically)
Alicia Fox
Becky Lynch will float around
Bo Dallas
Braun Strowman is the new Cena
Brock Lesnar fuck him
Curtis Axel
Dana Brooke
Daniel Bryan (then-GM)
Nia Jax is out for a while with injuries. hate her
Randy Orton
Rowan will stay with DB
Seth Rollins will stay on RAW
Titus O'Neil

Barring any more moves getting announced on Twitter, that's everybody from the 2016 draft that's stayed on the same brand.

[rez]

Did Joe get announced ?

[GD]

There is nothing special that the cruiserweights do on 205 Live that separate them from the main roster competitors.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Who's going to move to 205 Live tonight?

Probably some 205.1lb. fatass.

[GD]

What about Cross and Heavy Machinery?

[Emperor Smeat]

Baring any more surprise moves, both brands did pretty well in the Shakeup.

Smackdown got a very nice boost for its women's division while RAW got a very good boost for its tag division. Somewhat even for the midcard and uppercard swaps.

[GD]

Is Mark Andrews still regularly featured on 205?

[rez]

What about Cross and Heavy Machinery?

Slapping my jimmy forgetting about Heavy Machinery (4 Otis)

[slik]

[GD]

I love Oney Lorcan!

[Evil Vito]

Wait there's more.

Apollo Crews, Chad Gable, Liv Morgan, Mickie James to SmackDown

-edit-

eat shit Slik :mad:

[GD]

Rest in peace, Riott Squad. Also glad that Roode and Gable are done.

[GD]

You folks are missing Cedric vs Lorcan.

[slik]

SD loaded af

[Evil Vito]

No brand designation for Heavy Machinery and Nikki Cross

[rez]

Rest in peace, Riott Squad. Also glad that Roode and Gable are done.

Until they edit it with Roode joining him in the middle of the night or mid week...They'll never do Roode right.

[rez]

No brand designation for Heavy Machinery and Nikki Cross

Vince: "They're too independent circuit"

[GD]

Expecting Roode and Young to reunite on RAW.

[Evil Vito]

SmackDown's women's division is absolutely loaded

[Triple A]

Roode and Gable and The Riott Squad broken up I guess

[GD]

Cedric's Michinoku Driver is beautiful.

[slik]

Roman Reigns fan melting down on twitter, wow he really hates SD!

[GD]

Oney makes the single leg Boston Crab look menacing.

[GD]

Oney with a Half and Half on the apron. JEEEESUS!

Oney motherfuckin' Lorcan pinned Cedric Alexander.

[Evil Vito]

Roode and Gable and The Riott Squad broken up I guess

I'm guessing Ruby Riott is going to do her own thing while Sarah Logan winds up in The Viking Experience.

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems dumb to break up the Riott Squad since they were pretty great as a group.

Don't see Liv succeeding on Smackdown due to how stacked it is now. She fitted really well as a tag wrestler with Logan and still had a lot of use together for the women's division new tag belts.

[GD]

"Thank you, Cedric" chants to end the show.

[Triple A]

Yeah really weird. Ruby and Sarah Logan as a tag team also seems weird. Can't see Logan or Morgan doing well on their own...

Feel bad cause they seemed really close irl also! Got matching tattoos and were bridesmaids etc

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is Mark Andrews still regularly featured on 205?

No, he never really was. He's NXT UK.

[GD]

No, he never really was. He's NXT UK.

Pretty sure he’s part of both.

[Droford]

So SD has both secondary titles. How will that work out

[Tom Guycott]

I hope The Undisputed Experience show up.

The "Not in Question" Experiencence.
Starring Robert Trout, Kyle Riley, Roddy Powers, and Adam Charcoal BAY-BEE!

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/530/109/67d

[Lock Jaw]

Thought for sure Cedric Alexander and Apollo Cruise were gonna end up a tag team.... guess not...

[GD]

Finn drops the title at the next PPV.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Samoa Joe is sick and being kept off TV for a bit. He will either be on Raw or drop his title to somebody on Raw.

Balor just won the belt back would be fucking dumb to have him drop the title so quickly again.

[Droford]

Finn drops the title at the next PPV.

to someone on SD unless he holds it til survivor series..the 1 night a year blah blah

[Droford]

I'd laugh if Adam Cole became Adam Colthard (drop the u from Michael Coles real name)

[Tom Guycott]

She-nom?

So, The Wargoddess moniker is dead?

To be fair, they were pretty off and on with "She-nom". It isn't an out-of-the-blue thing they just made up, like *some* other names...

Yay The Sky Experience!

I actually had a more racist name in mind, since it felt like they just threw the two Japanese chicks together out of obligation and was prob'ly something actually said backstage by someone who looks a lot like Dok Hendrix, but I'll keep it to myself.

[Tom Guycott]

1) There's a joke there about Joe banging JoJo, since the last time people got sick enough to keep off TV, there was that thing that happened...

2) I'm sure they've done similar before, I just can't remember who all with. They had someone win a title just to drop it on the other brand, telegraph a title loss for someone leaving to the other show, or even out and out swapped champions. Could even end up with a situation where Balor jobs just to win over a returning Joe (and no thought over how that would make anyone look- just moves made to keep the midcard belts apart)

You mean how Kurt Angle got Jinder as U.S. Champion on Raw, and immediately booked him to defend against a guy who as the GM he should have known was going to Smackdown the next night, and even if not, common sense says wait one week then your show for sure has the U.S. title.

Freaking turds.

[Evil Vito]

Heavy Machinery to SD

[slik]

SD clearly the new flagship show

Will be interesting to see who feuds with who now that the brands are set up and rosters identified

[KIRA]

Please keep Joe on SD he's been a beast of a heal
