SmackDown has needed its own identity since the end of the brand split. Yes, the show was already starting to slip, but they started pooling talent all together on RAW before it ended and, unless my memory is failing me, wasn't that to pad out RAW so it could go three hours? Treat a split seriously and it could work. Or don't even make the split official, but just have guys work programs almost exclusively on one show.

I think maybe one reason SmackDown doesn't really have it's own identity could be due to the fact that it shares the same stage with Raw.

Since the WWE went HD, everything has had the same stage, whereas back in the day, they both had different stages, so when you watched SmackDown and saw the giant fist or the Ovaltron, you knew you were watching SmackDown and it felt like you were watching SmackDown and not just "The Raw Recap Show", which is what it feels like today.

I'm such a big fan of The Lucha Dragons and hearing the news that Los Matadores could be coming to an end is a positive sign for me.

I've always thought that the gimmick was a bit corny, but enjoyable at times, and wasn't going to go anywhere. Epico and Primo were so much better as Epico and Primo. Since getting the gimmick, nobody seems to have taken them seriously, which is understandable. Back when Epico and Primo didn't have a gimmick and had Rosa by their side, they came across as a legitimate threat and more of a legitimate tag team than they currently are as Los Matadores.

For me, I say scrap the gimmick, and have Epico and Primo again. Possibly add Rosa too and they can be your Hispanic heels while The Lucha Dragons can be your Hispanic faces.

Both teams are so worthy of being Tag Team Champions and hopefully it does happen soon.

I'm really enjoying the Tag Team Division right now and to me, it's the best thing going in the WWE at the moment. Usually when I watch Raw these days, I skip pretty much everything apart from the Tag Team matches. The division is probably at it's strongest since around 2008. The division has around eight teams right now, and not one of them is a team that's just been randomly thrown together. They're all legitimate tag teams.

A New Day
The Primetime Players
The Dudley Boyz
Los Matadores
The Usos
The Lucha Dragons
The Ascension
The Wyatt Family (Harper & Strowman I'm assuming could compete in the division)

I really hope this keeps up.
