I was thinking about the contrast between Charlotte and her old man earlier. She hits moonsaults on the outside of the ring and he could never even make it off the top.

So AJ staying mid card? Wth?

Also looks like SD won't follow through with the Owens/Zayn feud either.

Also wtf? SD loses a main eventer (which they are desperately short on) and doesn't get one back?

This is curious. Who feuds with Orton after Bray now? There's not really any main eventers aside from AJ & KO

I would assume SD gets DIY..


But I think SD needed one more of the big names.

I assume DIY after the next Takeover.

Also curious to see if the shakeup is over over or if some guys that didn't show up/weren't announced for either show could still get switched.

Will bray win then Brock goes to smackdown?

I highly doubt this since I don't see Finn balor wrestling for the universal title so soon

They gave Balor the title almost immediately after debuting.

I think the plan is to still give him a run.

Brock wasn't mentioned at all (neither was Enzo and Cass). I think just about everyone else was shown or mentioned outside of them and a few bottom rung tag teams (Ascension, Breezedango, and Golden Truth).

Kind of weird two big names like Lesnar and Enzo and Cass were no mentioned at all.

Edit:
Thinking about it it makes perfect sense for Lesnar to "disappear" until after Payback. If he shows up on Raw Orton retains, on SD Wyatt wins.

Enzo and Cass likely just had the week off I guess. I think they stay on Raw, though SD could desparately use them.

Also pretty even switches overall minus one big exception:

Miz and Maryse-Rusev and Lana
Ambrose-Owens
Crews-Zayn
Hawkins-Mahal
Kalisto-Sin Cara
Bliss-Charlotte
James-Tamina
Rhyno and Slater-Shinning Stars
Wyatt-New Day

While SD definitely needed a big tag team get, they didn't need to lose a main eventer.

That's one way for Smackdown to continue to kick Raw's arse despite Raw now having bigger name talent.

It really wasn't one sided. See my edit above.

Overall it's pretty even. SD won the women's trade and clearly won the tag trade.

Charlotte is bigger than Bliss and James though personally I like both of the latter much better. James isn't going to be around for much longer anyway. And Lana is going to wrestle soon (whereas Maryse doesn't but damn she's hot). And throw in Tamina.

And New Day clearly outranks Rhyno and Slater. And throw in Primo and Epico.

Owens, Zayn, Rusev, Mahal, and Sin Cara vs. Ambrose, Miz, Crews, Hawkins, and Kalisto. That's 3 mid cards and 2 jobbers for SD vs. 2 mid card, 2 jobbers, and a cruiserweight for Raw.

Only thing Raw clearly won was getting a main eventer. I'd give SD the win everywhere else (even if slight in places).

Overall it favors SD but leaves their main event picture bleak in the short term.
