SDLive - Gimme the Greenlight to FASTLANE - 2.19.19
 

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.

It’s a fucking mess

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'.

Wow! What a clusterfuck of a situation.

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.

My head literally hurts right now.

lets hope the crowds are better tonight last night sucked

6-man tag match PLAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I feel like Shane has aged 10 years since 2018.

This is boring as fuck

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

Feels Miz is so much weirder than arrogant Miz

Wrap This Segment Up Plz

Jimmy drunk already!

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

No rematches, Shane.

NEW ERA! REMEMBER?!

:nono:

No more Shane wrestling plz

Sweet entrance, Al.

Better reaction than last night

Miz sucks so bad as a face

Black vs Andrade

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.

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

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

Better reaction too.

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

My stream just ran a World Wildlife Foundation ad. lol

Black vs. Almas?!

PICK A SIDE, ZELINA!

Side note: This is gonna be totally awkward.

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

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

Aleister's wife in Andrade's corner

Zelina: "GET HIM, CIEN!"

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

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

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

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

I couldn't agree more.

That was a damn good match.

Should have opened the show to get the crowd pumping.

Black vs El Idolo was really good.

Much better showing for Black than last night with Elias.

"Fight forever" chants

God this crowd is 20x better than yesterday

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

DIY versus The Bar! YES! YES!

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.

DIY vs The Bar

Yesssssss

:lol: a pancake branch.

KOFI

That should be really good.

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

Kofi over as fuck

:rofl:

Smackdown already 100x better than raw

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.

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

Should be a good six-man.

DIY vs The BAR next!!!

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:

TAZ?!

No. False alarm.

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.

That camera man was in a tight spot.

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.

ouch

Oooooooooooooh.

That didn't look good.

Oh fuck! That did not look good.

AGGGGGHHHH Ciampa's Knee

Ooof.

Everyone's hurting after that match.

Ciampa/Gargano vs The Bar was pretty good overall.

That was a solid tag team bout.

Big Win for Gargano and Ciampa and Good match!

Hey. Eric Young is still employed.

Samosa Joe

ASUKA IS ALIVE!!!!!

Ricochet vs Eric Young

Lacey Evans will come out now

Asuka lives

good to see eric get work

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

Asuka’s a sexy nerd

Mandy's ready, apparently.

Mandy Rose needs to shit in my nostrils

Mandy has CENA NUFF

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

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

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.

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

I predict Bryan will face Mysterio for the title at Fastlane

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

:| Mandy beat Asuka.

MANDY DOMINATION

Bullshit

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

I miss anything...good?

ROFL Big E

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

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

or Mustafa Ali
