I still don't know what Rikishi told Otunga on that movie set & the way Otunga kept bringing it up sounded like it was important

I'm mad late seeing as how I was playing batman then peeped scream queens and I'm sure someone already asked but why in the hell did they rush american alpha vs the uso's? Why like what in the hell is going on? Did I miss a couple weeks of build up? Did some shyt happen on main event or some youtube channel?

Actually it is a rework of the road the steiners took.
to actually get the real tag titles and not the us tag titles.
As you have to supplement and build the other division draws in SD tags.
Simply because the team of America alpha is an endgame face based tag team and you can get larger and longer drawing programs in the alpha's chase.
While also co-signing the new wwe attention, program wise.
to live draw build by putting over a more a-typical style WWE entertainment based team of rhyno and the company troll joke of Chris Jericho, heath Slater.
Who eventually is gonna get the deavors like Paul London after being a tag champ.
Especially if said inside Jericho troll joke, heath Slater.
does not get over and was given the flagship first reign of the smart down smackdown era relaunch of the SD brand split tag titles.

All you should've said

It ain't shyt, breh. It's literally as shytty as Raw. The only differences are that it's blue and has an hour less of content to fill. People acting like SD is this great show just being silly and trying to convince themselves that they made the right choice of show to watch. It's the same show of awkward promos from wrestlers and GMs, heatless matches that go nowhere, and giving away PPV matches on TV for no reason. Literally the only difference are a different McMahon, ti's blue, and it is 2 hours instead of 3.

Man, the usos gimmick change was to provide an alternative to the other usos brother's in bullet club appearance on freetv.
They have been playing this cat and mouse eighties tv territory style game for a while now with aj styles programming on njpw show and roh.
If aj styles was losing on njpw,...
WWE booked aj alternatively on wwetv.
To compete against that rival booking promotion's decision. according to the aj win loss column and perception of draw.
It is no mystery that an aj loss to Jericho occurs on wwetv.
The same week aj loses to the rainmaker or other njpw grappler in a high stakes workrate program.


WWE has always been good at finding and putting on rival booking to other promotions content wise.
Which is how Vince took over and destroyed the territory system in the eighties anyway with hogun.

Not exactly,...
It is obvious one is more sports entertainment based and the other is what WWE would say is more workrate extensive.
with a slight mix of those WWE smashmouth main event sports entertainment properties to satiate both style of viewers.

Both have their key principals and split of WWE psychology and braintrust executed in both styles.
That WWE would like to capitalize on draw wise.
to satiate the diverse style of content of the current wrestling viewer.



Raw illustrates the mix of wcw meets wwf clique rules meets sports entertainment drawing based era content. That was ushered in by the five star sports entertainment finish of scsa/mick Foley and out of relevance as a draw.
from low quality in the post attitude boom to the my dear son-in law ruthless aggression and beyond era.
Where WWE committed to the smash mouth main event neutered workrate style booking from an injured scsa attitude era. That is more conducive to the son-in-law's maximum workrate skill and output.

While smack down illustrates the more workrate extensive style booking.
from the Indy heroes who saved wrasslin post the end of the attitude era boom.
That the WWE shunned for more than a decade post the conclusion of the attitude boom era. Which the son in law ushered in with the errant booking decision to go over rock and Foley at mania 2000.

The Miz/ Dolph Ziggler match and the Alexa Bliss/ Becky Lynch contract signing were the highlights of the show.

Alexa and my beck beck were great.
Alexa was excellent and Becky was excellent in counter.
That Alexa fukk your inspiration response portion was crazy.
The i was born a champion setup to get at Becky was crazy dope.
Anyway, WWE either is scared of giving us aj styles for free as champ.
Or is creating a discovery zone for aj's ppv WWE.com draw as champion.
By not giving us a real aj styles singles title defense match till the go away show to no mercy.

Oh, SD is the workrate show, despite having more GM promos than Raw, despite the hour less of run time? Bryan is on SD more than Foley is on Raw. And Bryan is the most over dude on SD, despite not being able to wrestle ever again. Yet the SD branding seems to go out of its way to make Bryan a focal point. He's on the show more than Steph and Foley are on Raw. And then there is a post show that is pretty much entirely devoted to Bryan shytting on things for a half hour.

New character seems to be getting over, though is it her or just the entrance? Her promo backstage wasn't bad

Nikki got the Jobber entrance but Naomi gets an actually entrance

Naomi's entrance is too fun to pass up.
