If they let Roode run with it he could get it over and probably get major heat.

Rhoode looks like an a-hole dad from the 80s.

And commentary already fricked his rebrand up.

Let's see how Ricochet navigates singles.

It sucks so bad they split up Black and Ricochet for fricking Charlotte Flair's whims. Black and Ricochet were already a top 5 over tag team on the main roster and trending up.

they had never been a tag team until they started popping up on the main roster as a tag team

they were all singles in NXT... Ricochet was NXT North American Champ... Aleister Black was NXT Champion

Exactly, I am glad they broke up, seemed like a forced tag team

Ricochet was never a tag team wrestler, neither was Aleister Black, they were big singles wrestlers in NXT. They got put in a random tag team when they got moved up because RAW's tag division was a barren wasteland. Glad that Aleistar Black got moved to Smackdown so they could go back to being singles wrestlers instead of an obligitory tag team

Yeah but you start from 0 when you get to the main roster.....and you have to think after splitting up Black and Ricochet are trending down as singles.

ETA I mean look at Roode's NXT accolades as a single (arguably way better than Black and Ricochet) and now look where he is on the main roster.

Roode has the movement and move set of an 80s heel

There's a lot more wrestling than usual on this show. I think they're getting people ready for the transition when Smackdown goes to Fox. Maybe hopefully bring back the actual wrestling fans.

Is this Bray's return?
