Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 10:49 PM

I can see both Roman and Drew going over -- especially Drew.

RP 04-15-2019 10:50 PM

I feel like everything has been a tag match tonight

Triple A 04-15-2019 10:51 PM

I hope Drew does go, but heard he's going to feud with Rollins... And who else will Rollins feud with?

Yeah, he might stay. I dunno, I can see all six of these guys staying and wrestling each other forever.

Lol, Renee: "He should be used to...losing by now."

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 10:57 PM

These matches are so paint-by-numbers.

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 10:57 PM

They're not exactly losing their minds, Renee...

Triple A 04-15-2019 10:58 PM

feels like the 15th time I have seen some version of this six man tag... this shit sucks

Sepholio 04-15-2019 10:58 PM

Bout time for the bar

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 10:59 PM

Blaster going to Smackers.

Evil Vito 04-15-2019 11:00 PM

SmackDown has been absolutely plundered.

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 11:01 PM

Honestly, the highlight of this entire thing since I tuned in at Usos vs. Gable/Roode was Mike Rome's funny line and some of AJ Styles' work outside the context of it being in that fucking match.

This sucked. I'm not even excited about what AJ Styles can possibly do on this show, because everyone else is pretty eh.

rez 04-15-2019 11:02 PM

There will be another shake up before FOX

Emperor Smeat 04-15-2019 11:03 PM

Decent main event match. RAW itself was decent but felt more like a regular episode than something worthy of replacing RAW After Mania for best show in the year.

WWE needs to revamp their Superstar Shakeup idea since the lack of actual trades and announcers being unsure if some people actually moved really puts a damper on it.

If there are any rules to this thing (and I'm not sure there are), then they have Bryan, Kofi, New Day, Orton, The Bar, The Hardys, Nakamura, Rusev, Charlotte Flair, Samoa Joe and Asuka, and then you've got whoever is moving. I imagine Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush are going. I can see Roode & Gable going, since they took a dive. It's only a two-hour show.

That being said, with the travel shit, who knows who couldn't make the show and will just magically be on Raw next week.

rez 04-15-2019 11:07 PM

Vince logic is to stack RAW so AEW is dead on arrival

K.O. was clearly who the live audience wanted, made A.J. feel not as big.
Shinsuke really needed to move.
Truth and Mella to Raw would have been fun.

Also, so Ricochet and Aliester are still free agents?

If the McMahons run both shows, why was Shane surprised Miz came to Raw? Shouldn't he have known that shit beforehand?

Very lackluster shakeup.

Evil Vito 04-15-2019 11:11 PM

Roman. Braun. One or more of the Lashley/Drew/Corbin trio of doom.

Yawn. Not interested in any of those guys in the slightest.

I do think they’ll get the Revival, which will be nice.

But what they really need is Black and Ricochet who can boost not only the tag division but they can easily beef up the US Title picture. Supposedly the graphic for the Shake Up indicates that the free agents still haven’t actually decided? Fingers crossed. I feel like Ricochet is someone FOX would use a ton of footage of in commercials.

Triple A 04-15-2019 11:13 PM

Interesting @ no Charlotte on Raw (yet I guess?), considering Andrade is on there

slik 04-15-2019 11:15 PM

SD has KO, which I forgot about


KO
Kofi
DBry

either Braun or Roman or Drew or Corbin (but prob not more than 1 imo)

Emperor Smeat 04-15-2019 11:15 PM

According to the Observer, one more person was meant to move tonight but didn't due to getting sick recently. Whether or not they keep the plans or drop it probably won't be known till tomorrow or possibly next week.

SPOILER: show
Samoa Joe was planned to show up on RAW and have a segment for his arrival.

Evil Vito 04-15-2019 11:20 PM

Brock and Ronda might get announced for SmackDown even though their moves are pretty pointless for a few months.

slik 04-15-2019 11:31 PM

Ugh Ronda's might more be useless for 9 months + going by her Instagram

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 11:36 PM

Thought for sure they’d do a Joe/Balor swap, but now I actually hope they don’t. Whatever.

slik 04-15-2019 11:41 PM

Rey Mysterio
The Miz
Andrade
Zelina
AJ Styles
The Uso's
The Viking Experience
Eric Young
Cedric Alexander
Naomi
Lacey

Those are the official moves to RAW

slik 04-15-2019 11:42 PM

Feeling 'dread' at thoughts of Roman on SD feuding w/ KO and DBry again tbh

slik 04-15-2019 11:42 PM

Maybe boring Lashley goes to SD too?

Vastardikai 04-16-2019 12:24 AM

Vastardikai: War Raiders? You can't have a worse name than that...

WWE: Hold my beer...

Evil Vito 04-16-2019 12:25 AM

Proud of my boys Booker and Stevie, the Thermodynamics Experience.

Evil Vito 04-16-2019 12:29 AM

More than four hours later and I still can't get over that name. The Viking Experience sounds like a shit indoor ride at an amusement park.

Vastardikai 04-16-2019 12:31 AM

Maybe they can get the one chick from the Riot Squad that one of them is married to join them.

Humorously enough, their tag team name before coming to WCW was the Ebony Experience.

Vastardikai 04-16-2019 12:55 AM

Considering what happened the last time they had a Viking in the WWE, I can see them being called the Berserker Experience in a few weeks.

Those are the official moves to RAW

I got caught up and missed it earlier, but "everyone is eligible" means 205 live too lol

I would love if that made the 205 rule pointless, and they got Braun to replace Cedric.

Braun killing every cruiserweight on the roster every week would be incredible.

Big Doggo Dog going to receive a blue collar...

Probably Brock

Brock seems likely.

Okay, I can understand wanting to trademark shit, and the change from War Machine to War Raiders because of that... but this nonsense?

If they're still hung up on not being able to use the word "War" on RAW from almost two decades ago, they could have brainstormed something better THE ENTIRE TIME they were in NXT.

Also, why the fuck aren't they Hanson and Rowe anymore? Did Vince think they'd be confused with the Dirty Jobs guy and the Mmmm Bop band?!? The actual hell is'a goin' on here?!? This is prob'ly the type of junk that caused Road Dogg to quit.

Mr. Nerfect 04-16-2019 03:20 AM

I do not like the names Hanson and Rowe myself. Hanson makes me think of 90’s pop and Rowe makes me think of frog cum. Awful names. War Raiders sucks too. The Viking Experience though? Nah, they’re DOA.

Tom Guycott 04-16-2019 03:38 AM

Granted, Warbeard Hanson sounds better, but, we're back to the "war" thing again. And your average person isn't going to think of roe. And both names fall in line with that unique, single name convention they're suddenly so fond of now. To change all of it to super generic shit is just awful.

For a company that is so into being considered big league, this is the most indyriffic shit they've pulled to date. Instead of being two big, tough bastards, they're viking cosplayers now with interchangeable names... and they already have an Erik. Rowan. Oh, but wait, he dropped his first name so he's just Rowan... I guess.

Velveteen Dream is going to get called up next and become Purple Guy.

Mr. Nerfect 04-16-2019 03:40 AM

I’m in no way defending it. Pretty ridiculous. I just think their usual names are a lesser degree of suck.

Droford 04-16-2019 06:18 AM

Maybe like everything else they'll get lazy and drop half their names

Of course it'll end up just being "the experience" somehow instead of Vikings

Droford 04-16-2019 06:38 AM

Evil Vito 04-16-2019 06:56 AM

Hanson and Rowe are their actual surnames which means WWE can’t prevent them from using them on the indies if they get released.

So like...I get WHY they changed their names. But why the fuck did they not bother to come up with new monikers for them when they signed over a year ago?

Droford 04-16-2019 07:14 AM

Was watching a little last night. But playing nursemaid to my dog prevented me from getting in here.

Good god, The Viking Experience. It'll be great when Raw rolls in Minnesota one day. But that's about it. Also noticed that Andrade is another victim on name shortening, poor guy.

Styles going to Raw hurts. Probably means I'll never see him wrestle again if they put him on the back end of the show.

Hopefully Smackdown will rebound tonight in preparation for the Fox move.

Lock Jaw 04-16-2019 10:31 AM

Can't wait for WWE Paige to debut The Air Boat Experience tonight on Smackdown!!

Ruien 04-16-2019 11:37 AM

Is Jason Jordan injured? Just realized I have not seen him since I started watching again.

slik 04-16-2019 12:30 PM

He's essentially retired due to injury, works as a producer now in WWE

xrodmuc316 04-16-2019 01:51 PM

I don't like experience as part of a team name. Just call them Vikings, or Viking Raiders, or Viking dudes.

Big Vic 04-16-2019 03:08 PM

They sound like a cover band.
