The funny thing about the Roman vs. Corbin angle, is that they had an extra week to change it, but they didn't.

The only reason to watch this episode were the NXT wrestlers.

Makes sense, as NXT is the only reason to watch any WWE programming since it's the only good show they have.

I'm so glad I DVR it so I can just skip ahead to the one or two good segments in a two hour show. The Bray-Bryan segment at the end was really good, as were the NXT segments -- but man, that first segment...my god.

Outside of the NXT episode a couple of weeks ago, SD on FOX has been a gigantic dud so far.

Smackdown is actually the worse show at this point in my opinion. His promo with Bryan was solid since they have history but I don't like Bray with a title belt with either of his characters, I feel like his character is beyond caring about belts. There needs to be something more than Reigns and Baron going on on the men's side.

Their planning is overall confusing. The whole Reigns murder mystery angle with Rowan would've been a good storyline for network TV right now but they put it right before Fox.

I like their current belt design philosophy. Other than the main titles. All the NXT titles are great and the women's tag titles are very nice as well.

I agree. The white IC is a classic but the stench from underwhelming runs from other wrestlers won't go away. I hope they start to take it seriously with Nakamura, although his current run is more focused on Sami.

Black straps and big golds are really the perfect combo.

I really wish they would’ve replaced the US belt with this one and just go back to the black strap for the IC. This is a beautiful belt though.

When you look at all "Invasion-show", you can say that only the two smackdown epidsode were good.

Is the Fiend really going to be the champion for like 6 months until Reigns beats him? Already getting numb to the lights out/Mandible Claw spots

It's not a great sign when the Reigns 6 man tags are actually the best part of some of these Smackdowns

As good as the Smackdown after Saudi Arabia was, my guess is it messed up some of the following ones. The build to NXT invading probably would've been played a little different if they weren't immediately thrown into matches the first night
