SmackDown Live #SDLIVE thread, Oct. 23, 2018: What will happen just days before WWE Evolution?

[Deezy]

What is this fuckery....trying to steal Mandy's spotlight.

 

[Smart Marx]

I honestly don't want a dance break. Dark-haired Mella is not money.

 

[Smart Marx]

Zelina went under the ropes. She's not been eliminated.

 

[Deezy]

You got all these tag teams out here, you'd think this would be when they'd do the Tag Team Titles instead of yet ANOTHER battle royal.

You'd have to merge the brands to even field enough teams for a tag division.

We literally have the same six man tag team match on both brands almost biweekly

 

[Deezy]

Not even going to bring up the fact that Mella outright stealing R-Truths dance gimmick

 

[Deezy]

Either Shane going to take credit for Evolution or put himself in the "world cup".

 

[Smart Marx]

He's not in the tournament or is he?

Probably toss him in if Cena isn't going like it's being reported

Obviously wouldn't want two separate ones. Both brands would share the champions and rumors say the brand split ends when SmackDown hits Fox.

So we just have two teams face each other every PPV? Because they can barely put on two singles matches on a show with 5 hours of tv.

And where does it leave all the non vagina having wrestlers who are in the same boat as them and not being used? Shits creek is barely staying out of their boat too, hell some even worse off.

HBK and Taker had a rematch 3 months later in a Casket match

It would work exactly as it did in 2002 before the champions became exclusive. The champions appear on both shows and face different challengers on both the TV and PPV shows.

As for booking, you'd have to ask the bookers. There's no reason with 5-hours between them that so many talents get lost in the shuffle. Maybe book less non-wrestling segments and not book the same matches every week and sprinkle in people not used every once in a while.

True, but there was that whole Montreal thing in-between.

 

[Smart Marx]

RKO and that's lights out for you. Adiós, amigo.

You don't remember there being so many titles that they had to merge them? Hell you had to have double champions years before that.

More titles don't and has never helped anything.
