    Vince saw that the womens main event was pretty good and thought "if fans loved that they are going to love a roman vs seth, champ vs champ winner take all match at the next mania" didnt he

    • Samoa Joe was set to appear on Raw last night to work a segment with Braun Strowman. WrestlingNews.co reports this was changed because Joe is sick with a bad case of the flu.

    Roman and Brock the only two that would qualify with Ronda being done. They hinted at the Roman move big time on last night's show

    I’m fine with Roman on Smackdown.

    I think it’s a good move for the show and Roman.

    Fin is another guy who probably moves and is fantastic for him.

    Yeah the brand split has been a bit muddied, but I do enjoy this week. Fresh matchups, and a chance to light a fire under some guys that have been kinda languishing. I haven't seen any spoilers, but I'm really hoping Undisputed Era shows up tonight. Great fit, an influx of much needed heels on Smackdown, and a chance to work with smaller guys. I think it's pretty obvious Vince's announcement is Reigns. I doubt they'd hype anybody else up that much. With that said, I think this is what we see tonight:

    --Reigns
    --Balor
    --McIntyre
    --Apollo Crews
    --Bray Wyatt
    --Mojo Rawley
    --Undisputed Era
    --The Revival
    --AOP
    --Alexa Bliss
    --Ember Moon
    --Bayley
    --Shayna Bazzler

    Nice mix of main eventers, guys that need a jolt, tag teams, women, and NXT callups. This is just a pipedream, but I'd love to see them hotshot a Riddle/Lesnar feud. Instead of Reigns being the "big acquisition", I'd go with this. Vince announces the biggest acquisition in Smackdown history and Riddle comes out. Vince says something about "you're not who I was talking about." Brock jumps him from behind, over the next few weeks you have Heyman explaining the reason (Riddle talking about retiring Lesnar). You accomplish a lot of things with this. Riddle's immediately a star, you separate Brock from the title picture (he only needs to be a special attraction at this point), and you can have Riddle run through guys all the way to SummerSlam where he takes on a returning Lesnar.

    Think they should’ve moved Carmella to Raw, she’s been on Smackdown ever since her call up right?

    Thought about this, but they're losing Styles/Miz/Richochet/Black/Andrade, and that's a decent amount of guys that have had a spot on the show every week. The tag team division needs an overhaul, and those teams don't need to be on TV every week. You do that with AOP/UE/Revival. UE can really just be Cole's entourage for a while, wrestling occasionally when their run ins develop into feuds. The women on Smackdown are bare now. Asuka, Carmella, Mandy, and Sonya are the only current singles. They have to add some ladies quickly to that. I'm guessing they keep Charlotte on Smackdown? Probably need her there. I'd imagine they wouldn't be running promos for Rawley/Wyatt if they weren't going to promote them on a certain brand. Since they didn't show up last night, I'd expect them there tonight. So Reigns (or I'd prefer the Riddle/Lesnar idea honestly), Balor, and McIntyre slide into the spots voided by Styles/Miz/Richochet/Black. There's plenty of TV time needed to be filled now.

    He sold too much for small guys. It’s what made him great in the indies but Vince hates that shit from big guys.

    Rowan is a waste of space. Yet gets paired with Bryan as the heater. Why was that slot not given to a truly talented big man in Harper?

    Hope he goes to AEW he could be a stud.

    Smackdown is quickly running out of time and so far we have seen 1 maybe 2 Smackdown additions. Better pick up the pace if some of these pipe dream predictions are going to become a reality.
