I guess the question is now, Raw or Smackdown? Raw needs the talent but Smackdown would provide better matches.

Ryan Satin says Raw. I believe him.

Worth noting (?) - the update doesn't mention Asuka's injury.

Did Meltzer get worked by another NXT injury? Like the Ember Moon one? I would be shocked if he did shocked.

Asuka/Becky would be cool, and she was taunting her in the front row while using her submission at the TakeOver show.

Listened to an interview Becky recorded two/three weeks ago. Feel very bad for her. Really bought into the new Smackdown title and late 2016/early 2017 Smackdown roster and the level of stories they were telling. I don't get the impression her win/loss record or titles matter to her it is more productive storytelling and meaning.

She's very unhappy with the Creative and said she wants a "reboot" of the division.

That promo she did to Daniel Bryan after Carmella won the initial MITB match was really loving good and I wish they'd gone somewhere with it instead of making her "Naomi's friend who sometimes tags with her".

She's absolutely right. The Smackdown women have been stuck in group segments for awhile doing a whole lot of not much. That's why I don't want Asuka on Smackdown unless they plan on changing their creative direction for the division. A reboot would be a great idea with Asuka as the catalyst but I doubt they want to give it the effort when they have a Jinder match to plan.

Becky hasn't had a singles feud since Alexa, who left the show half a year ago. I get why she's frustrated.

No one's had a singles feud since Wrestlemania. A few weeks of Naomi squashing Lana.

So if Cole, Fish, and O'Reilly are planning to take over NXT (assumed by accumulating titles), will they add a woman to their group to go after the women's title?

All the women they auditioned got as far as "So, you'd have to wrestle Nikki Cross and Asuka," before they immediately walked out.

So now the new big storyline is Cole, Fish and O'Reilly taking over NXT. Remember when NXT use to be a developmental territory instead of always relying on outsiders? So tell me who has the performance center produced since ooneing up over 4 years ago?

Alexa Bliss is a pretty big success story from the PC. Charlotte too considering she had no wrestling training before starting there.

Didn't they use Takeover: The End to explain that it was basically it's own brand and not a developmental anymore?

I think the answer though is Authors of Pain

As long as talented people are getting opportunities, who the gently caress cares where they learned how to wrestle.

I really liked Cole, O'Reilly and Fish running away from Regal at the end. Like, they'll physically gently caress with anyone except Regal.

Edit: The best wrestlers they have are getting tv time so who cares.

God, I really wish Roddy wasn't such a awful promo. When he gets going downhill in a match it's one of my favorite things to watch. But unless he improves, his ceiling is pretty much where he is now. Hopefully Shawn helps him out with promos too
