So the WHC, which is supposed to be the Raw title, is in a tournament with Smackdown people? So if a SD person wins does the title stay exclusive to Smackdown?

I kind of can’t believe that they are already loving with the draft before the draft even officially starts.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This isn't even the first time they've done this, they had the refs and announcers strike because of unsafe conditions, resulting in Punk doing PBP

I kind of can’t believe that they are already loving with the draft before the draft even officially starts.

It’s so dumb, and it’s not even designed to get anyone new over. It’s just the same established upper midcard and main event guys. Looking at the Raw roster, there are 8 former world champs. They could do a 16 man tournament and the opening round could have former champs against people who have never held the title before. This way they could build some new stars either by having someone go far or someone taking a former champ to the limit.


Here’s a tournament that reinforces the brand split and could potentially have some good matches:

Kevin Owens Vs Gunther
The Miz Vs Shinsuke Nakamura
Braun Strowman Vs Bronson Reed
Seth Rollins vs Johnny Gargano
Jinder Mahal Vs odyssey Jones*
Finn Balor Vs Sami Zayn
Kofi Kingston Vs Damian Priest
Drew McIntyre Vs Cody Rhodes

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?

I'm sure this is still way better booking than when Vince was there week to week, but I find this kinda insane. When it's said and done there'll still be two weeks for the show, and this is a pape airing the day before AEW DoN.

There's exactly enough time for each show to do one triple threat a week and in the week of the ppv, have the semi finals. That leads the Smackdown person to have more drama since they're going from the match straight to the ppv. Unless that's actually impossible and Smackdown will have people who won't be at Saudi Arabia the next day? But also literally anyone in Reigns' faction should be in the smackdown thing so C*dy can get any kind of story finishign???

They have to do all the matches right away so that the two winners have two weeks to do storytelling with each other because how else is anyone supposed to care about a match for the world title?

When WWE used to refer to him as the Caribbean legend they weren't loving around, he was a pretty big star before he left for WWE, and after he left WWE, he went back to Puerto Rico to further cement his legacy there. Dude's had a pretty varied career.

Which I think is fair enough really, he's been wrestling since 1999 and probably 15-18 years of that was at a high level doing a style that's not necessarily easy on the body. But yeah, he's definitely getting by on reputation at this point, you're right
