Also makes sense cause Cass was cleared on the same day as DB and he didn't get any attention. Gives him a reason to attack him.

He'll probably end up being the Miz' henchman or bodyguard

I like to idea. Been wondering how Miz will work without outside interference from Maryse or Miztourage.

Man, when you think you have Michaels-Diesel version 2 in Dolph and Drew, you get Miz-Cass the following night.

I hope they give Miz a main event push. Dude deserves it. He's been killing it on the mic for over a year now, and he's delivered some really good matches when given the time and quality opponents. He'd be a great heel champ for Bryan to eventually overcome.

A Miz-Bryan feud is going to be $$$, but a Miz-Styles feud would also be pretty amazing. I hope the main reason they moved Miz to SD is that they're going to give him a main event push, seeing how Lesnar is going to be in the Universal title picture for at least the next year.

Smackdown was where Miz rejuvenated his career from alsoran back to top guy status. Him being back there will be great

Really solid promo from Cass, a bit of Enzo's promo game did rub off on him.

I've been saying for a while now, Big Cass is really good. That was a great promo

I love it. Very heel move because you know the crowd wanted to sing along to his theme but they couldn't. They were so confused, it was awesome! :lol:
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

This was a good call. I'm guessing Miz interferes in the Cass-Bryan match at Backlash.

Yes very smart move and Nakamura has the mannerisms of an unhinged heel, it was a great call. After week 1 of the shakeup, Smackdown is so much better than Raw, never thought I'd type those words

Once they moved Joe and Asuka and Miz there to be all on the same brand as AJ, Nakamura and Bryan, Smackdown for me now is pretty much the only show I have interest in exclusively following now of the two mains. Even if they're booked like crap I just like watching these group of wrestlers work.

RAW's roster doesn't really interest me right now other than Seth. I'm glad he's doing well again and I'll still follow his matches, but that's all I need out of RAW now really.

The funny thing about this is, I originally said that because they're trying to push him but it's much better if he's paired with someone that can do the talking. Cass actually nailed that promo last night! Still question though whether he can deliver on the mic consistently like the Miz can. So yea I still think we'll have a Michaels-Diesal type thing with those 2

I agree, his promo was good. He always sounded a bit slow when he was with Enzo. After hearing this promo not sure if the old one was just part of his gimmick or if he really did improve.

I think Enzo rubbed off on Mela and Cass.

Michaels-Diesel dynamic:

Ziggler-Mcintyre

Or

Miz-Cass

?

Were getting both. One on each show, which is fine by me. I still think for sure they put Cass with miz. I loved Cass promo, but I doubt he can deliver consistently on the mic like the Miz can

And I just want to emphasize how great Charlotte has been. Wow. Seems to be the tallest amongst the women and moves like a cruiserweights.

And that Peyton malfunction :droop:

There is a serious alignment imbalance when it comes to the in-ring talent level of the female faces and heels of SD. The in-ring talent level of the face women on SD is so much higher than the heels right now. Even Naomi, who is the least accomplished of the 4 face women on SD, is better in the ring than all the heels.

Peyton is really the best heel ring worker on SD now. A distant second is probably Sonya, who is green. Everyone else is average or substandard in the ring. But which face do you turn to address the imbalance? They are all quite over. And 2 of them are very protected.
