I used to absolutely love Eric Young during that 2 month span that I gave TNA a chance about 5 years ago or whenever that was. Dude would start grappling with the referee right in the middle of the match.  Man I enjoyed that. |

I'm hoping they've found their groove with Nakamura. Sure seems like they have. Man I love it.
Orton has his finger in the ear lobe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK well I'm traumatized.
What a great show. Wasn't expecting to say that tonight.

Still can't quite believe how delightful Smackdown was. Great wrestling and very little comedic nonsense.

Rusev vs Almas tonight after they posted a vid online of Vega & Lana arguing. Rusev called Almas "Mr. Idol" haha, he's great.

Boy I hope they have a real plan for Almas and aren't just burning through these matches because they need something to do.

They could potentially have a mix tag at Summerslam. I wouldn't mind that honestly. It's only 3 weeks away and I assume Joe gets AJ and maybe we get a 3 way for the US Title with Nakamura/Jeff/Orton? Then also Miz/Bryan. So options are limited, despite it being at least 15 matches on the PPV.

Nice little show. Definitely hope they unite Rusev, Lana, and English. HUGE potential.
Almas gets the win.
AJ/Joe will be great and I'm glad it's happening on a bigger show.
Paige is not good.
Miz Dad is incredible. Not Miz's Dad, which is also incredible. I saw someone suggest they put AOP with him. Brilliant. They're young and can't talk for shit. "Miz needs more than the Miztourage now. He's even more famous and has a child. He needs........security."

It was another very solid show.
Like I said before, if they break up Rusev Day, it'll result in English being lower than Truth & Dillinger on the SD roster. This team with Rusev suits him so well, I really hope they stick together and just have Lana with them. It certainly looks like a mix tag is possible for Summerslam.
Happy Becky won. Just get her the damn title already and off Mella. If Ellsworth is done, her act loses a lot of its appeal as champ. Plus I felt that pairing wasn't nearly as good as it was originally.
AJ vs Joe should rule. Happy they've saved it.
Agree Paige is just awful in this role. They need to let her go honestly. I thought she'd be good in this, but she's simply not.
Main event segment was a perfect lead in for the Miz/Mrs show. Throwing a toy baby at Bryan was brilliant heel work. Assume this is at Summerslam. Can't wait.

Absolutely loved that Orton promo. Probably his best in like a decade.

Randy Orton is reinvigorated and his work has been great the past couple weeks.
Heel Orton is so good.

Amazing they didn't realize this earlier. Instead they put him in the dumb Wyatt angle.
Also Charlotte came back tonight and it annoyed the shit out of me. Becky deserves the title shot at Mella at the PPV and deserves to have a run with the title. If Charlotte beats Mella tonight it's going to be a Triple Threat. I don't want that. Let Becky have a run. I didn't miss Charlotte and I don't want her champion again just because she's a Flair.

Oh look Charlotte is in the women's title match at Summerslam, after winning one match.
Becky has been winning matches for a month to earn a shot.
Lame. I can just see Charlotte stealing the title win from Becky and turning heel. Becky doesn't need to chase anymore, give her the fucking title already!!

Overall it was a much weaker SD than in recent weeks. It was a promo episode essentially to build matches for Summerslam.
Only 3 matches, which, I know there was more wresting than that with 205 Live & a dark match, but if I paid money to go to a TV show of SD and all I got was...
The Bar vs Usos
Vega vs Lana
Charlotte vs Carmella
I'd be pretty pissed.

I'm starting to think they're going a bit overboard with Becky. I can't imagine she's winning at this point. (Which is a shame because I think Carmella is rather awful to be quite honest)

Pretty great Carmella promo. I'll say that. I didn't personally believe it for a second but I didn't know she had it in her.

I know I say this every time I see these guys but I can't help it. My thoughts haven't changed on any of this.
New Day & The Bar are stale beyond belief. I've never understood the pancakes, I never want to and I just want it to stop. You can even keep those goofs together but just change up the format. Big E should be the clear focus of that group. Kofi & Xavier can still tag together. In fact they can even remain as goofs with the pancakes and trumpet or whatever the hell it is and all that. Big E should be a serious singles wrestler and a power wrecking machine. No more dancing and dumb shit.
As far as The Bar, Cesaro needs to be a singles wrestler and in title contention for one of the two top belts on the show. I really don't care what happens to Sheamus to be honest.
Usos should still be gold for another year or two.

Joe is such an underrated promo. Not sure they had to have him go the family route but there's nothing that guy can't be.

New Day vs The Bar was one of the best WWE main roster tag matches (if not the best) of the year.
Watch it

They aired a 3 part history of Bryan/Miz tonight over the course of the episode. It was fucking outstanding. I'm sad this match will most likely be right in the middle of the show. The build has been pretty much years & I wish it wasn't just another match on the card.

Randy did the ear thing again to Jeff. That's fucking gross.
Jeff hit a Swanton off the railing of the crowd on Orton through a table. As if he wasn't in enough pain from the apron bump he took at the PPV.

Man I enjoyed that.
