If I was booking the show tonight based on the card we've been dealt.
Kickoff Pre-show
The Usos vs. Tyler Breeze and Fandango - Uso's win here as I just don't see anything other than the Breeze and Fandango team being jobbers.
So what match do you open with? I just don't see one here that clearly presents itself.
WWE Intercontinental Title Match
Darren Young with Bob Backlund vs. The Miz with Maryse
- I'd open with this match due to the crowd reaction that Miz can get and the over the top energy Backlund brings. I know no one likes Young's gimmick. I actually don't completely hate it - and I'm not a Backlund fan whatsoever. I'd have Young win here and re-match this title match on a Raw/Smackdown. I'm way too lazy to see who is on which show right now.
Sasha Banks and a Mystery Partner vs. Dana Brooke and WWE Women's Champion Charlotte - I'm sorry. No one cares about Tits Bella. You can't have her be the mystery partner. Plus it doesn't make any sense for Sasha's character to think Bella belongs in the ring with her. I know this will not happen, but fuck it - Lita is the mystery partner. Sasha in the ring way more. Lita gets a few spots in. Team Sasha wins setting up the title match at Summerslam.
WWE United States Title Match
Zack Ryder vs. Rusev with Lana - Honestly? Rusev crush. In like 5 minutes.
The Wyatt Family vs. WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day I would make this the most insane match and give these guys 20 minutes to go nuts. Think Evolution vs The Shield from a couple years back. Use the entire arena. Multiple fights going on at once. I'm not sure the rules in this and I'm also not sure the status of Luke Harper, but this ends with Luke Harper showing up and putting a hurting on the New Day. I have the Wyatts win here to re-establish this stable...but they've been split up due to the draft huh? Ugh. I don't get it.
Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens - KO wins. Please do something meaningful with this guy already.
The Highlight Reel with Chris Jericho and Randy Orton - Does Brock show up? I have no idea what we could get out of this that would be interesting. Randy's mic skills aren't exactly his strengths. Paul Heyman? I've got nothing guys. I hate this segment is on a PPV.
John Cena, Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson - Balor shows up here, so disregard the Luke Harper comment from before. Can't book the same thing. The Club wins...I would hope?
Becky Lynch vs. Natalya - I don't care. Becky.
Triple Threat for the WWE Title Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose - Seth or heel Roman Reigns (Stephanie's plan B).

Uso in the DOG HOUSE

Usos already lost. I definitely see a heel turn for one of them coming. Maybe not soon, but eventually. Breezango is the 2nd best team on Smackdown aside from American Alpha. I'm dead serious about that.
Woodridge, I like the idea of Roman being Stephs Plan B. I kno there's a Plan B joke there, but I'm too sophisticated to make it.
Love the Sasha/Lita idea

Rollins or Reigns is definitely winning. AJ-Cena at Summerslam will be for the big gold belt for Smackdown's title.

Don't think Lita comes back on a random (one) ppv. She is a Mania return.

Wish Corey Graves would've been on commentary. Instead of Michael Cole running down Bayley's accomplishments.
I'm just happy Bayley is finally here.
Charlotte & She Hulk completely no sold Bayley walking out. Just stone face, no reaction. Wish they would've seemed pissed.

It will now be referred to as "The Bayley Pop!" Screw you Road Warriors!

Charlotte sold it ok.
She was "checking her watch" and then stopped dead.

The look on Sasha's face when she heard the Bayley chants was amazing.

As solid of a women's tag as you'll get on the main roster. Sasha gets the win & sets up Summerslam. Bayley is still facing Asuka at Takeover.

This match seems early to me. Seems like they're front and back loading the card. Kind of like a Raw.

There's zero reason for The Wyatt's to win this one. Bray & Rowan are on SD. Winning here means nothing.
How close is Harper to returning?
