10/10 just for Asuka and Kairi Sane becoming a tag team...though I know it won't last long...or they get buried...

 

[Koko B.]

Where was Sheamus?

 

[BeardsOfWarjStylesXL]

In all honesty? a 10 out of 10 because it doesn't have to be perfection to please me just do something different and it was tonight. "In Wrestling everything is temporary" as the great bill Goldberg once said so therefore it is as good as it gets right now and I've been a fan since 1994 so this is a big deal.

Doing Celtic Warrior Workout videos, duh!

This shake-up really wasn't as exciting as the previous years imo. Sure we got a lot of surprises (I really didn't see Balor or Reigns coming) but it was kind of slow...the night is all about drafts and action. We got Finn Balor during the first hour, we didn't get a single surprise again until Ember Moon an hour later.

Also, should probably mention in total, Smackdown got twelve draft picks and they didn''t even bother mentioning four of them.

 

[Phenomenal Blissfit]

Well all my favorites reside on Raw now and Smackdown just got wrecked besides having a reasonably stacked Women's division despite most being treated as jobbers, Glad Balor moved they just need Aleister Black and Ricochet over there tbh.

Also trade Joe and his US title for Drew.

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Who knew KO joining New Day would get such a pop? I hope they continue this for awhile because they will have some hilarious bits.

Why has smackdown just got loads of women? Naomi to Raw and Smackdown get Liv, Bayley, Ember, Sane...

But yeah this was a good show. The New Day stuff was fun and can lead to something even more interesting.

 

[SWL]

they did well with the Reigns segment, I just hope they don't tip toe around the idea of booking Kofi vs Reigns. Now that Bryan's injured, these are the 2 biggest stars on your roster, so I'd say just book them in a match to form a proper main event. Sure, people are gonna boo Reigns but they've been waiting for a reason to boo him since Fastlane anyways, so why not get it over with and bring that Styles/Reigns face vs tweener dynamic back aye?

tbf, they were in Montreal lol

I dunno who signed off on that. They made Raw trade away five women and get three in return, one of which doesn't even wrestle that often.

I thought I was the only one who caught onto that. Everyone's praising Smackdown on being the A show and how they have Balor and Reigns but overlook how Raw's midcard, tag team, and main event scene is undoutably stronger...

Good that the sushi experience moved to smackdown

 

[Redboy123@]

Last year Raw got screwed undoubtedly. I don't know if sdl got screwed this time. I may not be looking that deep into it but the drafts seem fair. Roman on Smackdown is great. Elias seems best suited to Raw but hes still a very over character. who else is there? dunno
