For the ten or so viewers, I doubt it's worth the effort.

I don't see why EVERYTHING has to be different. A pre-show panel doesn't really matter.

Yeah, watched it when I got in. Best match on the show for my money, which is pretty impressive given how they stacked the card. Sasha needs to be careful with how she throws herself around though. Charlotte can be hit or miss for me but she always raises her game for the big matches. Kudos to both.

Oh when Sasha did that dive it took me straight back to Lita's, I'd rather she didn't do it. Especially not too far into the match when energy is falling.

Saw their set on Twitter. Kinda different but not particularly nice.

All those pushes had serious fundamental flaws though and basically slotted into the WWE booking routine so none of the guys stood out. I would argue that the Henry one in 2011 was the most successful but also short-lived. To me, it's a shame Reigns has been booked so badly because he's one of the best workers in the world right now and has great mannerisms etc. Just turn the ****er heel and push him right to the top.

Yeah I have to agree they were flawed. That surely boil down to McMahon ideology on the entertainment world today and moving away from old school wrasslin'. Funnily enough they've moved further into the old school than they realise. Not sure what the thinking is in keeping Roman Reigns a babyface, though I guess he's basically neither a heel nor face to them at this point. Either way it makes for weird television.

Well the very simple way of saying it is that's how wrestling was for 25 years, that's how I enjoyed it for that length of time, that's how many people enjoyed it. I didn't see why it needed changing.

It really is as simple as that. I'm talking about wrestling being that way for a long time and no one complained. I would love for a McMahon to sit me down and explain to me why they have went so far in another direction rather than just staying true to what pro wrestling was. Why change it? It didn't need changing. It was fine the way it was.

Ok standing the roster around the ring like this really highlights the massive difference between the two shows.

Bryan already more than a little annoying

Too similar to Raw so far but this seems to be the way to start new eras...

Ok actually that was obvious enough. I just didn't see AJ standing there.

Corbin and Ziggler being in there really shows the weakness of this roster.

They said anyone could get the 6th spot.

My money is on Alexa Bliss

All of this for AJ styles to win, unless they are going for a total swerve and having cena vs aj at summerslam.

Adr, kane or apollo crews to win the battle royal. Im going with del rio

It's odd. Smackdown is the show of opportunity, Shane is the one who came back to give people who wouldn't normally get an opportunity that opportunity yet there is only one person out of five that isn't either a former World Champion or hasnt competed for it (to the best of my knowledge).

Raw however gives Balor (on his debut), Zayn, Owens, Cesaro, Rusev their first ever chance at the top title race

I'm sorry but I'm never gonna bye into this whole raw v smackdown thing until it actually makes sense & they make both shows 3 hrs. Now that it's become live there's even more reason for it to join raw in becoming 3 hrs long.
