AEW is marketing itself to the hardcore fan so that move makes sense

Cain/Lesnar does not need to be for the WWE Title. My hope is that some sort of gimmick match between Brock and Kofi is announced that will allow Cain to cost Brock the title. They can then build to having that match at Survivor Series.

Have Fiend beat Rollins but then destroy the Universal Title because he doesn't need it and disappear for a few weeks. Tournament that builds to Survivor Series where Finals takes place. Fiend could return then.

The SD after Crown Jewel have Big E turn on Kofi to setup their match for Survivor Series for the WWE Championship

Well he’s still under UFC contract

I know he's been talking to all the wrestling companies and figured WWE would offer the most money but AEW would probably let him do those UFC fights and would let him work for AAA in Mexico, plus he already has a relationship with Cody. Vince might let him fight in the UFC but he definitely isn't gonna let him work for AAA so I don't see him being here long term. I thought AEW might have a chance at getting him long term but maybe he doesn't want that.


Now that I think about it, this could just be a nothing match at Crown Jewel so Cain can get a quick payday.

ESPN sent out a push alert right after SD went off the air that said Velazquez is in "advanced contract talks" with WWE

Nah. They needed to make Brock look strong. I had no issues there. Kofi had a good run and will be involved. Probably will win it back after bs from Velazquez or whatever his name is.

So can we get rid of the brand split now that Smackdown is on Friday? It's not like anyone goes to house shows during the week.

the most jarring statement on tonight's SD comes from the YouTube comments on tonight's Firefly Fun House segment

What the hell would be the the point of Cain other than to build Brock-a HOFer who needs no push?

Cain’s back is pretty fricked from what I understand, so it won’t be like he’s a long term guy.

That’s pushing every other giant down the pecking order.

At this point I’m convinced Vince keeps the bigs on the roster so they go nowhere else.

Unless this all about build Rey’s son’s debut-which I’m not sure anyone cares about.

I get Brock has blown through the Roster, but hell, Brian Cage and his hot arse wife would be better to bring in. That guy can work, not young Brock, but the same template.

Grant it, I haven’t watched any AAA work Cain’s done.

So if he’s really gifted, I’ll eat crow, I just don’t see it.

Friday Night Smackdown crushed the ratings ....it was an incredibly produced show in fact I don't think I've ever seen a wrestling TV show (including WM) presented that well.

The story lines are still iffy....I'm hoping they get better after the draft and the rosters are set. Valasquez angle seems forced and rushed but I get they wanted it on the first Fox show. The fact that they had to bury Kofi in a title match after the whole Kofi-Mania thing is kind of the shits but I agree with a lot of sentiments that Kofi's reign absolutely never progressed after WM.

I'm hoping KO and Shane is truly over and we don't see Shane on TV in a match for a long time.

SD needs to bring in Shayna Baszler and put the belt on her for Becky to chase going into WM .....the reaction that Becky got from the crowd last night (before the rub from the Rock) was pretty impressive.

I will say this though.....after Taker, Stone Cold, Sting, etc were all advertised I'd be pissed if I went to that show to see those guys and none of them made the cut but fricking Reigns v Rowan in a damn lumberjack match made TV.....seemed strange to me.

All in all I imagine Fox was happier than a pig in shite with it......but it's a marathon not a Sprint.....let's check back in in Fox this time next year.

ETA What do we have 4 matches for HIAC now......I'm sure they will add some BS between now and tomorrow night but how the hell are we supposed to pick that crap rt3? I suggest the top 5 in the standings all get bonus points going in due to the inept booking by the promotion! I kid I kid.

I’m guessing an Wwe title rematch and Kofi wins

If I’m gonna be forced to watch Cain vs Brock then I don’t want to see Cain and Brock for the championship
