Kurt Angle needs to go full heel and put his "son" in undeserved high profile matches. This would reflect what happens with the Rock/McMahon school of nepotism. People would resent the hell out of that angle. ;)

If WWE wants me to get behind Roman, the solution is simple. Ship him off to Smackdown and put him against Jinder Mahal. That guy did the impossible which is to make me actively root for Randy Orton, who is maybe the only person I hated more than Reigns up to that time.

Also, having a glimpse of Cesaro/Shamus watching the main event off stage definitely suggests that a tag team of Rollins/Ambrose vying for the championship is possible. Don't know how I feel about that, as I want them both back in the main event, but it would be a good match. Rollins and Ambrose certainly are starting

He doesn't even do an Indian accent well. On Talkingsmack, he sounds completely westernized.

Also, is Mahal truly over in India? Other being Indian, I don't see why he would have any appeal over there or anywhere for that matter. He's a bad character with vague motivations. He repeats the same lines the way Roman Reigns repeats the same moves. I'd call him a stereotype, but I think that term implies

You certainly gave it more credit than I did. I thought this was the worst Smackdown of the year. I literally groaned at least once in every match/segment, assuming I didn't already fast forward it. That being said, I feel liked a missed a lot of what you liked, so maybe I was tuning out more than I thought. Zayn

Ambrose needs to get out of Midcard purgatory (even though he's making the most of it) and they never really quite had him and Reigns out right feud, despite fighting each other several times. Have Reigns be the authority guy (as he is in real life), which blurs the kayfabe line which WWE should knows works like a

Elias Samson sucks. He sucks on NXT and he sucks now. I saw him at a Live Event, and I felt the entire audience zone out. Balor deserves better. He's actually beaten Roman Reigns cleanly, which is kayfabe nearly impossible these days.

Just let Strowman beat Lesnar on his own. A fatal four way is just a ploy for Lesnar to lose the title without being pinned. Let Roman move on to a Shield reunion or go all the way heel against the Shield. These are the only possible ways I'll be interested in him, yet WWE stubbornly refuses.

Thank you!

I admittedly didn't watch the rap battle as I'm sick of both those teams, and I find it a bit on the racist/ignorant spectrum that they would have two POC teams do such a thing. It's stupid. I would much rather have had, um, I don't know, a match, preferably two where they don't wrestle each other. But once again,

I couldn't agree more. Naomi couldn't be possibly look that strong when these are the only matches she has anymore. Beat Charlotte in an Iron Man match, then she'll fucking look strong.

He's not even convincing as being the one thing he supposed to do which is be Indian. He sounds like he's from Canada!

The entire tag team division can implode on Smackdown for all I care. I'm completely on invested in any team that isn't Breezango. That made up belts mean nothing.

With the tour of India in tow, Jinder isn't losing that any time soon. 🙁

Meh. It wasn't much of a squash. She just put her in a submission hold and Lana tapped. I don't think she looked strong at all. Squashes don't have to be 5 seconds long. Strowman and Jaxx knew how to kill it and prolong it.

Wait! People hate Kevin Owens? Even at the height of assholery, he's generally cheered.

Gable and Styles was great! Not only was it something different, Gable looked hella strong, keeping up with arguably the best wrestler in the world. However, it also shows how good AJ can make his opponent look. That guy can sell!

Tye Dillinger looked like a million bucks in that match. He's so good at making matches enjoyable without necessarily putting on a clinic in AJ Styles form. As much as I love AJ and Sami, I've seen them fight Kevin Owens enough. Tye needed that rivalry more. Still, he has time.

Naomi looks strong in ten second sloppy squash matches with a non-wrestler? I'm not sure about that, Al. The brand split has given me little reason to care about a division with five competitors,
