Not a fan of Joe needing Braun to save him in his first match but loving Braun destroying Roman

 

I just want Braun to show up to every match and destroy every one

 

just catching up on RAW, Tozawa got such a great reaction in the final 30s of his match. Crowd went nuts for the snap german

 

Post-RAW

 

but why

 

o...kay

 

Can someone explain to me the reasoning for putting elimination chamber on Sunday instead of the 19th? I had assumed it was cause the Oscars were the 19th but it turns out they are the 26th... feels like Smackdown now gets a very tight built for EC and then will have a very long build for Mania.

 

Not a good reason I can think of, they just seem to love stacking PPVs that way

 

Also, fuck where this Goldberg/KO match is going, but, they at least did a half decent job of making that match make sense, and of setting up the Jeri-KO match

 

That's how it is for most smackdown PPVs before one of the major four. TLC was like 8 weeks before RR

 

Seems so foolish. "Hey, you know how Smackdown has no roster depth? Lets make them fill 8 weeks with Ellsworth storylines!"

 

So basically, instead of spacing out the raw and smackdown ppvs they're keeping the raw ones on the regular schedule and then forcing Smackdown into weird corners. nice.

 

And yet smackdown has still been better

 

CW talking segment was great too. Heel Neville is the best

 

i kinda want Aries in this role permanently. this is the guy i've been looking for to join the WWE announce team for a while

 

How Long has Punk been champ?

 

I guess Lucha is back May 31st.

 

Wish this happened on tv

 

The bumps those two take at HOUSE SHOWS. Jesus.

 

It's a shame that WWE isn't pushing Sami as their top babyface

 

Sami would be money for the company if given the opportunity.

 

I like to think that creative has a long, thought out plan for KO/Sami that will lead to a bunch of great headlining matches, but then I remember that it's the creative team.

 

I think KO/Sami will headline a WM in like 2-3 years. I can dream.

 

They are working him there. Beat Seth, lasted most of the RR, beat Jericho clean last week. The Braun feud was the start of his push...Im just not sure I see a path forward immediately for him to win at WM though.

But he could reignite his KO feud for the US title after.

 

I feel like they can make any type of match great. Hell, they can probably make an empty arena match a 5 star,
