Card looks pretty weak. Don't really care about any match. Hate hate hate triple threat matches.

Anyways, I imagine ziggler wins by DQ or something, unless they're giving him time off or a vacation.

Or a total reboot for him, which would be greatly appreciated.

SD! has got me loving this card. Ziggler-Miz has brought the best out of both wrestlers (133rd times a charm). The triple-threat promos have been solid. Tag match is whatever, but I like where they're going with the Usos. Nikki and Carmella is surprisingly interesting for a non-title Divas feud. and Alexa Bliss has been great recently.

Not interested in Curt Hawkins and I won't look directly into the screen as Bray and Randy have their match.

[Spens1]

1 AJ Styles (c) vs. Dean Ambrose vs. John Cena (could be a 5 star match, i think ambrose and cena take each other out leaving styles to pick up the scraps)
2 Becky Lynch (c) vs. Alexa Bliss (Bliss is great but its too early, think this is a filler feud but Bliss will look strong)
3 Heath Slater and Rhyno (c) vs. The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) (shall be great)
4 The Miz (c) (with Maryse) vs. Dolph Ziggler (Miz goes over to ultimate heat, by the way ziggler, don't retire, go to new japan and get the IWGP world title, yes he is good enough)
5 Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt (logic dictates Wyatt should win but lets face it they'll job Wyatt out for the rest of his career despite being one of the best characters they've made in the 2010's).
6 Nikki Bella vs. Carmella (total bellas just came out, though i would love it if heel carmella actually won, triggering heel nikki bella, sorry nikki bella is a horrible face and would be a great top heel foil for becky, in fact the only one on that level really).
7 Curt Hawkins vs. TBA (Zach Ryder cause why not)

All of this. Although I'm probably slightly more interested in the Hawkins match, which is to say I have a very small level of interest in that match. The Bray/Orton match will most likely be my dinner (or dessert) break.

Alexa vs. Becky has all of my attention. I love both of them and all of the build to this match so far.

Usos vs. Slyno should be a solid match with the potential for the start of something great between The Usos and AA.

Miz vs. Ziggler has been one of the best builds of a storyline in WWE in the past year or more. A totally unpredictable result as well. No one actually knows where they're going with this.

Triple Threat has also been built well, and also has been setup for Dean and Cena to continue their feud beyond this match, and frees up AJ for a new feud with someone else.

I'm looking forward to Sunday, as I have looked forward to pretty much everything SD related since the brand split.

I'm really curious to see who Hawkins wrestles mainly because I think it'll give me an indication as to how I'm supposed to perceive him. Am I supposed to think he's funny, or annoying? Am I supposed to think he's endearingly corny, or just corny? I honestly have no idea.

In retrospect I wish the first opponent has been someone other than Alexa. At the time, I thought she'll be a solid first opponent for Becky and then Becky will move on. But I think Alexa's got big time potential and while I don't think they should give her the title quite yet, I wish they would've gone in another direction and continued to build Alexa up. Because as it stands now, she'll probably lose this and it'll be one-and-done and then she'll move down the division and I hope that doesn't stunt her progress.

Other than seeing Carmella throw left hands, I'm not interested in this program in the slightest bit. My guess is Carmella wins, but I don't feel strongly in that view.

The Uso's are going to beat Slater and Rhyno. No other result makes sense. Slater and Rhyno's momentum has come to a screeching halt after they won the titles and he got a contract. I don't think they'll go immediately to the Rhyno turning on him and that program. I think because of Rhyno's political campaign, he's not going to want to turn heel. He's probably going to lose the race and when that happens I think he'll turn on Slater shortly after that. Conversely, even while the match is with Slater and Rhyno, they've been very clear to remind us that The Uso's true rivals are American Alpha.

I could not possibly care less about Wyatt-Orton. I assume Orton wins because I think he's being primed for a title program.

I didn't think they could get me back into the Miz-Ziggler program but the last two weeks have done that. I don't have strong feelings about who wins the match, I just hope it leads to something. Dolph wins by cheating and then after the match beats Miz down and we see a new Dolph Ziggler with a sharper edge. Or Miz wins and then after the match Bray Wyatt comes out and beats down Ziggler and carries him out and we don't see Dolph for months and he re-emerges as a member of the Wyatt family. The worst outcomes are Miz wins and Dolph legit retires and does other stuff or Dolph wins clean and then Miz wins the rematch.

I don't think there's any doubt Styles wins this match. Its way too early to take the title off him, there's a Cena-Ambrose program right there that doesn't need a title while a Styles-Orton program without the title has no juice. And I think they're telling a long-term story with Cena chasing that title and I think when he does, he takes it off AJ.

Hawkins hasn't even wrestled yet, and I'm already sick of him.

Those vignettes are absolutely brutal.

[studcrackers]

I don't watch smackdown much. Is he still doing Chuck Norris jokes?

Yup. It's awful.

It's more like the B-Roll of those Most Interesting Man in the World commercials. The jokes are terrible.

[Dunthreevy]

The thing with Hawkins is that I know he can actually go in the ring, so depending on the booking these vignettes might not kill his character completely. They're not a good start at all, but he's talented so it's still possible he can overcome them.

It reminds me of when Johnny Curtis' schtick was acting out figures of speech (saying "I've got a chip on my shoulder" with an actual potato chip on his shoulder). I cannot conceive of why ANYONE thought that was worth putting on television.

Well, Zack Ryder got over with the exact same gimmick, he just did it on youtube.

[tugs]

What if Alexa loses and proceeds to the Adam booking with Bray?

[iMoreland]

Becky is injured and is out of No Mercy. Sucks

Brutal, feel for both her and Bliss.

It is, but Bliss hasn't done anything to make me thing she's ready for a major match. She's just not believable as someone who could compete with Becky, imo. And Nicki vs Carmella is just as uninteresting - though Carmella at least has a personality. The overall lineup is not good. Ziggler needs to steal the show.

He hadn't done that in like 3 years

[WRau1]

I wonder why the WWE is putting the WWE World Championship match first? Miz v Ziggler closes the show I would guess, would also assume Ziggler loses.
