July, not June.

Ah, I'm dumb and can't read. Couple of months seems like a more reasonable turnaround.

Sasha in the Banks match where your objective is to not let Sasha Banks die after she falls off a ladder trying to do something suicidal.

edit: I still like Sasha. :unsmith:

I still don't know why they split the women's and the tag division. Just put each one on different shows, focus the draft on singles and NXT callups, maybe two dudes decide to move to tag or singles competition, I'unno.

Their ratings are down so far with men but steadyish with women that it'd be nuts to make the women's division brand exclusive.

Are they steady in both shows, and compared to what they were before the brand split? What about the tag divisions? From a booking perspective it feels weird to separate two very shallow divisions in half, I'm not sure if it's THE move from a business standpoint either, even if the ratings didn't budge all that much. A lot of WWE's decisions boil down to "we're not sure because every time they try to change no one commits past the adaptation stage anyway", as far as I care.

Haven't seen Smackdown demos in awhile so I'm not sure. With the tag and women they should have just had one champion across too shows. The divisions are way too shallow but it'd be weird to have one be brand exclusive.

I'd take that too, I guess. Exclusive divisions could be cool as a way to differenciate both products and maybe make people engage Smackdown AND Raw, but I suppose five hours of wrestling probably would mean people ignoring an entire division, which means reduced merch sales/house show tickets so yeah.

Big Meltz seems to have misprinted two stars and a half on that Breezango match. Someone should let him know so he can round it up to 5* again.

All loving wrestling shirts are black. Be thankful they decided to do something different with someone's shirt for once.

It's weird they did it to the one dude where black would be quite fitting. Anyway, I don't think anyone is very mad about this, but I'll let Rob have it so he has a modicum of happiness in his day for once.

I feel like Roman's style is what Meltzer comes to expect from WWE faces and matches, and the fact a lot of those 4+ stars are in championship matches doesn't really hurt either.

He's a dude that won't ever steal the show, but is good enough to hang with top-tier talent. The Super Cena booking sucks though.
