I would love them in AEW especially Montez

Same think he's got so much potential. Looks great, promos are fire and has great in ring ability. Not bothered about Dawkins. But if we were to get them as montez is fed up I keep reading about the lack of direction for the profits.

I didn’t really notice what her alignment was since I started watching but is Tiffy a baby face now? She’s definitely fighting like one and I’m loving it.

This was her turn, she wrestled Bayley as a heel. Either this was always the plan, or someone on creative said "Yeah, this ain't gonna work with Tiffany as the heel and Charlotte as the baby face, we need to do something else."

Numbers are pretty low for Smackdown since Roman isn't on much, Last year was like 2.8 . Roadd Dogg has been made head writer for Smackdown now . His booking in 2017 was ok, but I amagine with the old man his his ear wouldn't of been helpful , why he quit in 2019 or something like that.

Let's see how he does as at the minute Raw has been way better, not like one to sit in front of the TV for all three hours and watch the show. On Smackdown I only watch Cody, Jacob and LA Knight segments. Obviously Roman when he's on the rest I'm like I'll pass. But I'm willing to keep watching for now with a change and new head writer.

The other reason numbers are down is because it’s now on cable tv rather than network tv.
