Still pussing out on Miz/D Bry

When Bryan told him he had to face Ziggler or hand over the title, Miz could have easily clapped back like, "Unlike you, I don't hand over titles. :ufdup:"

Would have had Bryan storm off set all over again.

Seriously, you would think a show with more star power and an extra hour would benefit, but the only times Raw has been better than SD is when they load up the shows with 4 Ways, title defenses, and debuts. That's why Raw won the very first show, and last week. Other than that, SD has been better simply by getting straight to the point with stuff, and much better character development. You can have all the star power you want, but if the writers are writing like a traditional ho-hum Raw, it won't matter. Sami and Cesaro need to be over on SD. Cesaro is wasting his time with Sheamus, and Sami & KO should have never been on the same brand in the first place. They need to be faaaaaaaar away from each other.

Lmao oh

Was the rest of raw any good other than the title change?

They had a good Neville vs. Jericho match, and I liked Sheamus vs. Cesaro and the Bayley meeting New Day interaction was fun, but yeah the title match put them over the top since it was a special moment (new Champ, Triple H returning), while Smackdown just had a good, solid show, but without extraculiculars.

Baron Corbin and apollo crews aren't even popular on smackdown.

Just about the whole women's division on smackdown is :russell:

What character development are y'all talking about???:heh:

1) I don't even think I mentioned Crews and Corbin
2) Raw's womens division is currently Charlotte/Sasha/Bayley and then everybody else. Every woman on SD's roster is involved in something
3) Slater, Miz, Styles, Dolph, now the Usos, the whole womens division....anything else?

You said SD has much better character development and I mentioned Baron Corbin and apollo crews because there is no character development for those two.

None of them are popular on the smackdown roster and I can't even think of any matches they've won since the brand split.

Raw is doing more with less when it comes to the women's division.

The most over women's wrestler on smackdown might be eva marie and she hasn't even wrestled a match.

Dolph ziggler went back to status quo.

I ain't saying raw is perfect because I can without the titus/darren fued and the shining stars/ enzo cass fued.

I just don't get where people are seeing a huge gap between raw and smackdown.

No Smackdown is doing more with less with the women's division. Raw has three of the top women from NXT (four if Paige ever gets her shyt together) and ONLY uses those three. Dana Brooke doesn't count because she's a glorified valet.

Smackdown is (for better or worse) making it a point to use all the women they have.
