It's not the title that makes the US title seem more important. It's the fact that for the most part, these are the people who have been given the most screentime. People can complain about Jinder, but he's really been limited to just one segment per show, if that, while Owens and Styles have been given more airtime.

Smackdown had some good points last night, I enjoyed the continued build for Mojo Rawley, but overall, Smackdown is starting to look like Raw, but not in a good way.

Good luck with your new job Alasdair Wilkins. I've enjoyed reading your recaps.

Owens has wrestled three times since he lost the title, so I doubt that he is injured.

You make some good points, but I think that the issue is that the stories for many of these matches don't make sense. After Great Balls of Fire, I didn't have the sense of needing to watch Raw. The PPV should make us want to know what happens next, not wish very hard that most of the feuds are over for good.

I don't like judging matches based solely on who won, but there were too many heel victories last night. I wouldn't mind if the stories were good, but most of them are not. Nor do they make a lot of sense. It's hard to watch this and come away feeling good, or that the time spent watching was worth it.

Yes, because she should squash Lana. There is no reason why they would have a competitive match.

Paige isn't being kept off of TV because of a tape. She is recovering from a major neck injury.

Aside from the opening segment, this was a very fun show. I can't believe that we actually had storyline developments and character development on a holiday edition of Smackdown, The ratings won't be great, but I'm glad that the WWE took this chance, and didn't just throw out a pointless filler episode.

Both Smackdown and Raw would probably benefit from not trying to get everyone on screen every week. They can tell better stories if they only focused on a few people at a time. But, with this plan, they should make sure that no more than two to three weeks elapses between appearances. This way they can give people a…

They moved the cruiserweight match to the pre-show.

This was an entertaining Raw that has me looking forward to the PPV. I have not cared about a Raw PPV since last year's draft. I do hate what they are doing to Miz and Ambrose. Ambrose needs a serious character change, but I doubt that they will do the right thing and let him turn heel, or give him any purpose at all.…

Daniel Bryan made a huge difference. He totally changed the tone of both Smackdown Live and Talking Smack.

This was a very entertaining episode. It reminded me of the fun episodes that happened before the superstar shakeup. That being said, I do not think that the redo is a good idea. I hated the ending Sunday, it was a huge mistake, but a redo is not going to change that. The only thing that this accomplishes is…

The fact that they are making noise indicates that they are invested. He's a heel, he's going to get booed.

Ambrose v The Miz is the best built story that the WWE has right now, but for some reason, I'm not that interested. I love the idea of Miz having an entourage, especially if it comes with an incredibly intense and violent Bo Dallas. I think the problem is that I need more intensity and character development from…

The optics of having Ellsworth retrieve the briefcase were just wrong. Carmella was the correct choice to win, and Ellsworth should have helped her achieve that win, but not in the way that it happened. That ending really hurts the division. It makes it seem like we should not see the women as being credible wrestlers.

The crowd was not dead for Ambrose. Unlike with the opening segment, the crowd actually made a peep when Ambrose came out, and during the match itself. They were also very vocal during the segment with the bear.

In my opinion, Primo's father is full of sh%t. He helped a man get away with murder, and is just as guilty for Bruiser Brody's death. As far as the name goes, it's their real paternal family name.

I love the idea of a women's Money In the Bank Match, but I hate how Shane made the announcement all about him, and took away from the story that was being told. Tamina does need a lot of help. She acts like she doesn't know what's happening half of the time.
