Smackdown spoilers for 4/14/16
 

I'll start watching SD! again for the Enzo and Cass emergence

Not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind Miz v. Cesaro v. Ryder @ Payback for the IC strap.

According to fan reports, AJ Styles came really close to becoming the newest member of WWE's hottest stable, The Injured Guys.

Had a scary moment where he landed on his head from a botched move Del Rio did during their match.

Emma winning a match against Paige seems like it would be a "huge deal" if Paige still had a defined character, or hadn't just recently lost randomly to Summer Rae as well.

Is Paige in the doghouse? How'd she turned into a random jobber?

She has been a random jobber since she joined the cast of Total Divas months ago.

lol

Always thought Paige was overrated.

I'd be completely satisfied if the only Divas I ever see on my screen were Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, Emma, Paige & Nattie....

Tape or no tape?

Naomi, Tamina and Eva haven't really done much of anything. Those are 3 I think who could be let go. Summer could spend a little time down in NXT, honing her skills a bit more. And they've got to pull the trigger eventually on calling up Bayley, just don't know right now when a good time for that would be.

Naomi is amazing. She just gets put in the Diva bunch where she can't show her athletic ability.

Her theme right now doesn't do her any favors, either. If I wanted to hear that much stuttering, I'd watch a bunch of old Porky Pig cartoons.

Enzo is on point again.

All the athletic ability in the world, but a giant suck hole in personality....Bayley for sure needs to be called up, but she needs to be the one to put an end to Charlotte's reign....have Sasha always manage to come up short in challenging leading up to Summerslam, then the night after Charlotte cut a promo stating that she's the best and beaten everybody there was, cue Bayley's music and have her goad charlotte into a title match right there a la Paige/A.J.....

The Vaudevillians are doomed. It's an indie gimmick. And I enjoy it . I wish Gotch was a bit bigger though as the "strongman"

Lmao at Enzo. If they just give him a mic he'll get them over on his promos alone.

I've never been overly big on The Vaudevillains gimmick. Fun for a bit in NXT, but I always thought they were stopping through the gimmick on their way to different things. I guess not. They'll be given some shine out the gate, and they'll perform well, but it's not going to connect. I actually think they might win this tournament and even take the belts off New Day to get them onto Enzo and Cass, but I can't see them being too hot after, say, SummerSlam.

The WWE have done a really great fucking job at making me not give a shit about Paige. Good for Emma though. I hope Becky vs. Emma actually happens at Payback.

I feel like Paige is partly responsible for that. She was the anti-diva and stood out because of her edgey personality. She was well on her way to having her own fans, because she was her own person and didn't compromise (like AJ)

Then all of a sudden she started up with the extra make-up and going OTT on the girly stuff and she has got lost in the shuffle I feel, because of that. Impossible to know how much pressure she was under to do so and be a part of total divas etc.... But I think she could have been in a much better situation now with the change of focus if she had been brave and stuck it out as rebel Paige.

Also, Naomi in one of my favourites, think she is underrated in the ring and comes up with some really cool, original stuff. The tag match at Mania was better than it had any rite to be and a large part of that was down to her.

I think it works in the sense that he's a 1920s "strongman" "street tough" type, not in a current strong man mould.

I wish Aiden English would still sing

Paige can always snap back to being the Anti-Diva anytime she wants. The gimmick is recharging. One of my most desired signings is for Saraya to come into the WWE and wage a war sponsored by Stephanie McMahon against the bratty daughter that cost her months of her career.

Paige vs. Nattie would be fun too. Maybe after Natalya loses to Charlotte, Paige can sort of get on her case about it. Simple feud with good matches -- that'd help out the division big time.

Me too. I have no clue why they stopped that -- it's not like it was falling flat. English was working with guys like RVD and Sheamus, looking good and it seemed like he was being polished up as a top heel player. Simon Gotch has good energy, an interesting look and seems to really be piecing it all together in the ring, but neither guy really needs this team.

I could see them failing at the titles sometime in the near future, splitting and feuding, to be honest.

Aiden English as his Artiste heel jack-off personality against a fire-fueled Gotch with something to prove? Yeah, that could work.
