Tonights episode wasn't bad at all. liked the way this was more of an episode for building up feuds/storys

Great episode. Just about right.

My concern with the women now is that Becky and Charlotte are booked so strong relative to the others. Not that it's Becky's or Charlotte's fault, but creative needs to step up with the character development of the other female wrestlers. It's like those two can run over the whole division now. They're just so complete and the others got stale.

Don't even know if Charlotte's a tweener now. It's just so convincing that she can win over anyone.

Good episode tonight, Bryan is a really good creepy heel. Shane and Miz as a heel team, that's intersting to say the least (honestly, i wouldn't be opposed to Sami & Owens vs Miz & Shane at mania, would be some good continuation at least).

I hope they're not trying to use Becky's momentum to get Charlotte over (Becky's twitter game is on point on this part :lol:

)

So Shane McMahon isn't pissed Smackdown went 1-6 at Survivor Series? Next to no mention of it? No consequences?
Nothing coming out of it?

Just brutal

This!!

I don't get how some thought this was a good episode, the only interesting/good segment was the Daniel Bryan promo. Everything else was pure trash. if SD was going to get obliterated at survivor Series, at the very least they could have incorporated that into an interesting storyline where Shane goes bazerk and the roster fears for their job security

And what's with the fans in relation to the women and men. When a huge popular guy like Braun and Bryan turn heel, they get booed or at the very least, cheered much less as expected, but when a woman does, she's beloved. Charlotte was hated mere weeks ago, now she's a huge face after a vicious turn, okay.

Would be cool to see Charlotte and Becky become a team, an unstoppable force in the division. Though, with this feud of Ronda v Charlotte v Becky...are they slowly trying to ease in 4HW v 4HW battle? I know Bayley and Sasha are on Raw but so is Ronda. Like, I could see Becky and Charlotte being too much for Ronda on her own, so she has to call for back up and in comes Shayna Bazler to help poor lil Ronda. Then some how add in the other 4 remaining women into the equation somehow.

That's gotta be it. Becky getting hurt has helped WWE with their creative control. Not only was Becky calling out Ronda, but now that she was out, insert Charlotte to go ballistic on her at SS and now Ronda is feuding with 2 out of 4 HW.

The Two Woman Power Trip. I like it.

I'm looking forward to seeing what else Bryan adds to his character.

That is true, they completely neglected that, but it may be for the better since the storyline was literally the Mcmahon sibling rivalry.

When I read the recap I was wondering if the writers just forgot about Survivor Series already. :lol:

Yeah, didn't Shane even explicitly say something on Sunday about changes or consequences or something like that? Was surprised that it was completely shrugged off in a matter of seconds on SD.

Shane on twitter after Survivor Series: "There will be some changes on Smackdown, that's for sure!"

Ron Howard narration: "There weren't."

Wait, what are you guys talking about??

Spens1 · Post #654 » by **Spens1** » Thu Nov 22, 2018 6:54 am

apparently they were meant to do some kind of shake up again. or at least announce one to be held in the coming weeks, but didn't.

Also there was supposed to be some angle between paige and shane on this and a few of the superstars on the survivor series team.

At the PPV, Raw "swept" all the matches (the only match won by a Smackdown wrestler was the New Day winning on the kickoff show). Supposedly at the end of the PPV, Shane said something about being upset and that there would be fallout on Tuesday. So the rumours came up that there would be trades or new feuds or Paige replaced or *something*.

The actual fallout on Tuesday apparently consisted of Shane shrugging and saying "well, that wasn't the way it was supposed to go", the end.

Well the Usos won that match but I don't know what you guys are talking about. Shane never said anything like that. Nope. Can't prove it. You can try but it'll be fake news.

Watch on YouTube

A friend of mine sent this to me and I couldn't agree more with Tazz

It's not healthy to get this angry about wrestling

When I watch main roster WWE, I usually just get sad rather than angry. So much misused talent.

Please keep Becky away from Twitter. Less is more.
