Really hope this turns into Revival's debut. Smackdown's tag division really needs some help at the moment. Basically all of AA's competition right now is comprised of mostly jobbers, unfortunately.

Breezango being used as comedy jobbers recently is probably what disappoints me the most on smackdown. It looked like they were on the verge of a push, with a win over Usos on a kickoff show, then looking really good against AA in the tag tournament and they were actually starting to get over. I hope they still have…
I thought that 205 live was the best yet. The duel was a lot of fun and Gallagher is already becoming a crowd favorite. Neville/Swann was great and so happy Neville is finally getting attention. I'm also digging Noam's creepy perv.
That scared the shit out of me, seeing her arm. Legit thought it was broken.
That was very close to a heel turn from Cena tonight. Is it possible they do a double turn with him and AJ? If they're gonna pull the trigger and finally turn Cena heel, now is probably the best time to do it. Either way, I still feel like AJ will be turned by the time Mania comes around.
IIRC His original dr. Of thuganomics gimmick came about when he was just messing around on the tour bus and free styling, which Stephanie overheard and wanted him to start doing it on the show. His character was first introduced in that Halloween segment with him dressed as vanilla ice
The Wyatts kinda looked like faces after their win. Giving Harper their titles to hold after he sacrificed himself for the gore, just seemed like a very honorable, face thing to do. Makes me wonder if we might actually get a face, or at least tweener Wyatt push.
that was a pretty boring episode, but nice use of Dirty Three's Sue's Last Ride at the end there.
That really seemed like a curtain call for Tye's time in NXT. Smackdown could really use some good midcard blood and I think he can do good in that role He's definitely way over at this point with the crowd counting "TEN" with every count last night. There really isn't much left for him to do in NXT at this point.
I was rooting for team SD to win but after Taker's warning, I'm hoping AJ Styles loses it for his team and goes on to feud with Taker for the rumble. That could be an amazing match, Maybe Taker wins and Cena faces him at Mania in a title/retirement match?
That is the exact same reason I haven't like Perkins since the CWC. The dabbing made me roll my eyes, and learning that the guy was in his 30s just made me roll my eyes even harder. Would be one thing if he was still in his early 20s and dabbing, but it just comes off as pandering from him. That, and I just thought he…
Also interesting to note- not one appearance from any authority figure all show.
Luke Harper has been cleared to wrestle now. Wonder if he'll run in at No Mercy and give Bray the win. Won't be a clean win, but still a win. At least, that's what I'm hoping.
Sign James Ellworth!
Yeah, Talking Smack is very much worth watching each week and especially the Cena interview tonight I found really insightful.
Kinda crazy how Heath Slater has the best, most interesting storyline going on now. Hope it has a really good payoff.
I thought Gargano/Ciampa would be hard to top but wow, tonight's 2 matches were both amazing, especially Alexander/Ibushi. Then the end with HHH coming out…
I think/hope they left Breezango out of that because they're gonna be a top contender for the tag titles once they're introduced and they didn't want to make them look weak in that brawl.
Just wanted to come in and say if you're not watching the Cruiserweight Classic, you're really missing out. Gargano and Ciampa just put on one of the best matches of the year.
The women's segment was just awful, except for Eva's new epic entrance. Carmella coming out to absolute zero response was just… awkward. They really should have put her back with Enzo & Cass to at least get the casual crowd to know who she was.
