Smackdown always goes by so quick but I want to watch more.

Yeah the lack of depth on both shows is an issue but should get better once the next crop of NXT women wrestlers are ready within the near future. Do agree with an earlier post it probably would have been better to just keep them on one brand while the other brand got something exclusive in return.

Still time for Miz/Bryan at WrestleMania to get going.

Also, Maryse could become a competitor assuming her and Mix ever split up and she goes solo.

RAW, on the other hand, also has Dana, Paige, Summer and "soon" Emmalina.

Miz stealing D Brys moves..hmm

WE'RE OUTTA TIME!

:D Smackdown delivering the random pre-Rumble mass brawl moment.

Asuka could be a tremendous get for SD! LIVE, especially if it happens between the RR PPV and WM 33.

Shit. Already miss the IC title being relevant.

With like 2 actual rumble participants

Really good main-event between Dean and Miz.

Fuck. Why does Dean have a title. Dude is bland as hell right now. Miz is amazing. Arg.

I cant get over that ass on Bliss. Jesus!

I just followed a twitter account called " Alexa Bliss's ass "

tjp vs tony nese kicking off 205 live

ITS FUCKING CRIMINAL!

:mad::rant:

Wow at Sami's eye bruise during the Tozawa hype package. Didn't remember when it happened and apparently it was from when Strowman bruised him during their feud last year based on a quick online check.

WWE probably should have retaped the stuff with Zayn later.

SD's women's division will cease to have wrestlers

there will only be victims if the Empress joins the A-show

Neville-Alexander match was pretty good overall on 205 Live.

A good show last night, as I've come to expect from SmackDown.

Harper/Orton was fun. I've been thinking that Orton was going to "break up" the Family from within before turning on Bray and setting up a Mania match - and that seems to be where it could be leading. However, I'd love the idea of Bray and Orton staying together for the long term. A face Luke Harper coming after them for revenge could be a lot of fun if they were to go that route. Eventually he can bring Erick Rowan with him, who is clearly at his best when teaming with Luke.

Glad Ziggler got a decisive, quick win. Kalisto is really good so I wouldn't want to see him get squashed often but in this case I think it was definitely needed to try to sell Ziggler's change in attitude as a difference maker in his performance. Interesting to see JBL get up from the booth again, Ziggler/JBL might actually be a thing that happens at Elimination Chamber. Ziggler should go over in that match but I do hope the build allows him to sell the fuck out a Clothesline From Hell.

Mickie James channeling elements of her 2006 character was good to see. She really, really likes Alexa Bliss (don't we all? :love:) Mickie/Becky will be a great match when it inevitably happens. I'm happy that the SmackDown girls are getting a match at the Rumble.

I'll always be a sucker for the annual brawl on the go-home show before the Rumble so I marked for the ending of the lumberjack match.

Probably so Miz can move into the main event scene.

Hell yes.

I'd like to see Ellsworth be a complete ripoff of Enzo:

My name is James Ellsworth and I am 5'8" and you can't teach that!
This here is Carmella she is a beautiful chick and you can't teach that!
Bada-Bing cutest couple in the ring!
WHAT IT DO!?

The 6 woman tag is clearly setup for a Woman's Elimination Chamber match

Can someone please tell me what this means for this Sunday night?

Thank you.

Sunday will be a fun show, so check it out!

Thanks! I will be sure to do so!

It means there is no chance (no chance in hell) that a SDL superstar wins the Rumble.

Are you sure?

I'd say a slim chance.

"Slim chance, that's what you got. Slim chance in hell!"

Well if Cena wins and the crowd goes for it then in a way Cena was right, A.J's accomplishments mean nothing if a part timer can come in and steal the beklt and the crowd from him with little effort....

I don't see Cena wanting to wrestle in an elimination chamber.

Nope. Just thought it was a mildly funny line.

I do wonder how they arrive at a title match for Mania if the EC is going to have the title on the line (rather than #1 Contendership)

I could POSSBILY see Bray winning the Rumble and Orton winning at the Chamber.

I could see it being the other way around.

The reason I see Bray winning the Rumble is because I view the storyline being Bray wants Randy to lay down for him so he can easily become champion to which Randy refuses.

Feel like I haven't seen American Alpha for ages. Where they on last week?
