No Roode?

They must have some sort of dirt on Vince to have survived the recent batch of roster cuts.

Roode was out there.

Hype Bros and Bludgeon Brothers weren't but Hype Bros have to sell their injuries and the Bludgeon Brothers weren't on SmackDown for the entirety of the "brand warfare" storyline

I don't know if it's them or Carlos.

Or they just want some Puerto Ricans.

Every time I see them, I think, "I'd trade them for Carlito on my screen any night.".

Despite being very good wrestlers, I can't see myself caring about The Colons again unless Carlito joins them.

Same, but at this point that's as likely as Mega Millions reaching $1+B again and the winner being struck twice by lightning on a perfectly sunny day at once and surviving it.

Feel like even if Mike Kanellis avoided rehab and killed it in his first month or two on the main roster, he'd still be totally screwed from a career standpoint. His gimmick literally does not work without Maria there with him.

Colons back so they have another team to job to Bludgeon Bros

Hahaha, "Owens is a former Intercontinental and Universal Champion; Sami speaks French and Arabic."

I feel that putting all the guys in red/blue shirts really highlights the lack of faith the WWE has in the intelligence of their fans. Which may be justified.

He's standing beside Sin Cara, so I just imagined him turning his love towards Sin Cara and trying to win him over with the #PowerOfLove. Starts wearing Sin Cara's "face" on the back of his jacket and on his pants, etc.......

Love them -- especially Primo -- but yeah, they are dead as a team.

I'm not so pessimistic. #GiveLoveAChance.

Fashion Files looks good for next week

Bludgeon Bros gear was good

It's something that gets Luke Harper away from the Ambrose gear. Now that Ambrose doesn't have it, of course.

I'm kanefused about them doing the same gimmick/angle at the same time on RAW and SD


Paige/Ruby
Liv/Mandi
Deville/Logan

???

"Do you want to play a game?" in the preview graphic makes me wonder if they'll slip some kind of jab at Trips in there.

People think the brand split allows people unique opportunities, but what it actually allows them to do is repeat the same angles on the each show with two separate employees.

Reading Epico's profile on Wikipedia is a bit sad. So much "reviving" and "reverting."

How'd Xavier get Foley's flannel jacket?

Primo is in his 10th year on the main roster. By contrast, Carlito got fired during his 6th year.

Seems the crowd didn't care for New Day's post-match artistic rendition of the two new women's groups beatings.

I miss Talking Smack................

UGHHHHHHHHHH @ tyrant piece of shit DB...:nono::n:

Bryan was awesome. Got no clue what's going through his brain.

Not a bad show, but I don't really feel amped after watching it either. It was just a way to spend two hours and procrastinate from my daily tasks.

SmackDown continues to feel like way less of a slog than Raw

Hideo has been jobbed

Thinking about it.....they've called up so many women now that I'm pretty positive their will be a Women's Royal Rumble.

Where the hell is Peyton Royce..... is she bad or something?

She's not bad, but her strength isn't wrestling.

What the hell? Already?

They could very comfortably get up to 25 without these call-ups. And if they couldn't, then why do it?

No, but he's on 205Live. Might as well book his airplane back to Japan and give Meltzer an auto-orgasm.

Why is this *exactly* the same angle as RAW? Is this what we're going to do now?
