Peyton Royce won a random singles match against Naomi.
There is no chance in hell that match happens without Peyton being in the news this past week with Meltzer.

Becky and Charlotte had a pull apart. Crowd cheered whenever Becky hit Charlotte.
Heels held back Becky and faces with Charlotte.
Loud chants for Becky as this all happened.
Real smart move trying to make Becky heel, you friggin dopes.

I should also mention Becky's "bad guy" mean face is so fake looking. She took shots at the crowd and they didn't buy it for a second.
This is the least believable heel turn I think I've ever seen.
Get a fucking clue, Vince.

Mella vs Charlotte next week for the title. Don't care.
Rusev & Lana got their win back over Almas and Vega with help from Aiden English.
Main event No DQ tag title match up next

Holy shit Harper chucked a commentary chair at Kofi, visually looked awesome.
Bludgeons hit a High Times (remember that move Kronik did?) through a ladder in the ring.
Rowan tried to wipe New Day out with the toy hammer, but ran himself through the barricade.
NEW CHAMPS!! I'm not surprised by the title change but that was a real fun match. Wish Rowan didn't get legit hurt. Seeing these two teams in HIAC would've been fun.

There's going to be two triple threat tag matches to determine who faces New Day for the Tag Titles.
The Club vs The Bar vs.......The Colons is on Tuesday. Zero clue they were still employed. I know Epico was hurt last year, but legit thought they were released.
Next triple threat I assume is Sanity vs Usos vs another random team (maybe Dillinger & Truth?) hopefully it's a legit team.

Holy hell. That tag division needs some serious freshening up. I don't care about New Day versus any of these teams. Probably don't care about New Day. Maybe Sanity, but we just did that deal.

They need to stop going right back to New Day as their default champions. Smackdown easily has the best tag division (seeing as RAW's division is only The Revival, B-Team and The Ascension), so using teams like The Bar or The Club in these one off matches is dumb.
Has Sanity won a match since being called up? Had they not lost all the time & been actual killers, you'd have a strong team now to be challengers.
Usos vs New Day or The Bar vs New Day would be great matches no doubt, but it's been done a ton already.
Fuck it, GIVE ME THE COLONS VS THE NEW DAY!

They interjected Almas/Vega into the Bryan v Miz feud. Love it.
Only issue is Almas struggled with his promo. That scares me. It's like someone hearing you spoke about management in a regular company.

Crowd again chanted for Becky a majority of the Charlotte/Mella match. Then cheered when Charlotte got beat down & booed when the camera panned back to her at the end while cheering Becky.
I swear if they start calling places "bizzaro world" when people cheer Becky now. It's Roman but the total opposite.

To think wrestlers have to cut promos to that darkness.
I'm watching and Bryan and Hippie are doing their promo & interrupted by Almas & Vega. I love how they're acting as if Brie isn't on RAW either. It's like it's a long lost Bella sister.

What the hell happened to the Iconics? They were the perfect level of annoying in NXT and now they are just awful. Their promos are garbage.
Also the Charlotte/Becky interview was terrible as well (crowd did cheer Becky though the whole thing)

I know I'm missing out but I'm convinced I would be constantly pissed at watching what I felt worked well in NXT only to be turned into shit on Raw or Smackdown. Iconics have been horrific.

That's punishing yourself needlessly. Watch NXT. Its exactly what you liked in wrestling. I was about to post the exact same thing. I suck at watching weekly NXT shows. Just like all of the stuff I totally fell in love with the past week. Because it isn't served on a cable platter for me. But I'm done with that. Not watching because of what will happen on the main roster is crazy man. The Takeover shows are above and beyond. You've earned it. One of my friends that hadn't watched since the late 90's with me has been watching the last couple years because of his kids. I kept telling him to watch a Takeover and he shit on it. The SummerFest Takeover was his first. Saw him at our fantasy draft and he was like a little kid. "It was so good. I couldn't stop. Just, crazy...." He couldn't put together sentences. Watch NXT KS. You'll thank us.

My #1 reason is my outdated system and all the problems I had the first time I tried. I'm still bitter.

The same theory has made me turn off ROH as well to be honest. I get tired of being emotionally invested about someone for 9 months to a year and suddenly they're off to the WWE or elsewhere.

John and Wai's ep of Review-A-Smackdown this week said the best name for a move ever.
Brie hit Zelina with a running knee damn near taking her face off, which should be called....Brie Trigger
Fucking brilliant.
Also KS stopping being stubborn, there's so much better wrestling out there and even under the same WWE umbrella. Just watch NXT.

They also said Becky Lynch is acting like Naito where she's supposed to be heel but the fans cheer anyway.
John pointed out she's Lass Ingobernables.
The puns on this show are damn impressive.

Noteworthy things from SD tonight..
Becky disguised herself ringside and attacked Charlotte after her match. To the chants of "Becky! Becky! Becky!"
This is the dumbest heel turn ever, but I guess at least they're using Becky, so there's that.
Also Rusev Day will face New Day at the PPV.
Uncle Joe read us a bedtime story about beating up AJ Styles.
Maryse and Brie were the main event in a crappy match. Milf-a-Mania.

The Mixed Match Challenge started last night and it was substantially better than the last season already.
Commentary is Renee Young, Vic Joseph & Michael Cole (who comes off as 3rd mic, which begs the question, why the fuck is Cole there?). Crowd was into this too, which helped.
It's a Round Robin deal this year and not a single elimination thing like the previous one.
-Ember Moon (replacing an injured Alexa Bliss (kayfabe)) & Braun Strowman beat Kevin Owens & Natalya after Ember hit an Eclipse off the shoulders of Braun on Nattie. -Charlotte & AJ Styles beat Naomi & Jey Uso in a sort of fun match
These matches come off like house show matches, which makes them more fun. I'm happy it's Round Robin because Kevin Owens is hilarious next to Nattie's bad acting.

Kevin Owens trying to spell PAWZ
Owens: P for Perseverance Nattie: Purrrr...purrrseverance Owens: Oooof, I don't know about that Nattie: Kev, you gave it your all Owens: A for....Endurance
KO rules
His reaction when Nattie starts talking about how her cat would be jaded if Ember followed her on Instagram (seriously) is friggin perfect
