I thought the same thing

Anyone watch raw. What do you think of the six raw stars competing. Dana brook is a strange one for me. Hope smackdown has some good stars competing

Yeah i was thinking that myself having him and Ricochet in the same match would of been interesting but surprisingly WWE didn't have him in the match which by WWE's logic is weird normally rivals,current tag partners or former tag partners are in the same match together but not this time maybe WWE wanted a change instead of the same thing happening.

I would of replaced Orton with Black in the MITB Ladder Match because MITB is like a future thing and giving other wrestlers a chance to be in the spotlight which is what it is built for but for some reason Orton got in yet another MITB Ladder Match.

I am guessing Black will still wrestle at MITB probably against a jobber or someone down the street just to build him up a bit.

A long time posting this but i think Daniel Bryan is injured again i hate to say this because he is such a great wrestler but he should of stayed retired but Daniel Bryan has to much heart and he tried to come back but unfortunately it looks like he mite be retired for good this time lucky he lost the title before he got injured because i would of hated to see him Vacate the title then retire again that would of been a sad way to go out.

Talking of other subjects AJ Styles needs a haircut i have never liked the long hair AJ Styles he has always looked better with short hair i didn't mind the long hair for a little while but now it has become a little bit boring bring back the short hair AJ.

Didn't they only just bring Ricochet & Black on to Raw? Even for WWE's instinct for having teams feud, this would be insanely early to start it.

I agree that Orton should not be in a MITB match, he should be prepping for retirement. The guy came to Raw 17 years back, he's done everything he realistically can, and he never feuds with anyone long enough to make a difference now.

Also Strowman won it before and it detracts from the specialness of the event if previous winners are trying to use it again.

What is the point of the brand split? if smackdown superstars just go on raw whenever they wanted and vice versa

It seems like WWE panicked over being outgunned by some other sports in the ratings, and so promoted Reigns being there (oh well done) and even included a Kingston-Bryan rematch with no pre-build-up, plus as you say this waffle about brand fluidity.

Of course, if they put more thought into a better product, then they wouldn't need to try and rely on last-minute fixes that are almost guaranteed not to work.

^The consensus across the board was that the brand split was a bit of a disaster because no sooner had certain wrestlers made their debuts for their new respected brands they moved back by the following week because they didn't want to be split from their girlfriends/partners ie Andrade/Charlotte Flair,Jimmy Uso/Naomi etc.The split could have been an opportunity to both shaken & even things up but all they did was tinker around the edges.Wrestlers who are woefully under-utilzed on SD like Gallows & Anderson,Eric Young (under his Sanity guise) have just effectively moved to Raw to become under-utilized there until they eventually quit for another organization.
Vince & Co do have that annoying habit of putting together makeshift tag-teams that don't gel & try getting them to stick but also have that habit of splitting tag-teams & factions that do work for no reason ie Riott Squad,Sanity,The Bar etc.

And this new ruling by Vince that a handful of wrestlers from each brand can venture cross-brand every week is just fucking stupid because not only does it make a mockery of the brand split but it also means less airtime (if any) for the wrestlers lower down the brand roster.I heard a rumour on the grapevine that HHH isn't happy with Vince & Co with the constant dipping into NXT wrestlers moving them to Raw/SD where many don't get used.

Im not sure how vince thought putting roman reigns on raw would pop the ratings he was just on one of the lowest rated smackdowns ever... wwe needs to take a month off and restructure their whole creative department because at the minute there is no point to anything
