    I'm ok with New Day break up to be honest

    Broken up by draft and not an angle where someone turned so you can easily book them together again later. Its time to give Big E a singles push, let him get his push and give other two a tag push and reunite them later. Think this means wwe is going to go with that Big E push so im happy

    Friday was the first time I watched any significant amount in a long time. The Big E match was pretty telling that he's turning. Cole kept mentioning "can he go to that place everyone thinks he can?" Then he gets a look of anger in his face and Cole said "I think he's going there! This is what everyone wants to see!" After the match when the Kofi and Woods joined him, you could tell he wasn't into the New Day character like they were.

    Catching up on AEW and man I feel bad for FTR, leave WWE where they are booked in the icy hot BS to go to AEW to be booked in a feud where they are called "weenies" and their opponents have shirts with them dressed at hot dogs on it. That is some prime WWE shit right there.

    I’m old enough to remember the days where people shit on Rusev/Lana/Lashley only to see similar storyline play out in his debut storyline on AEW.

    My biggest issue with AEW has always been they hyped themselves as being the NJPW of American and instead they gave us WCW.

    Poor Asuka. She had to fight Micki James who hadn’t wrestled in over a year then Zelina who hasn’t had a real match in god knows how long and now Lana who isn’t even a trained wrestler. Before this she was fighting Sasha and Bayley who are two of the best ever.

    WWE has a very talented women's division, went they aren't going with one of the four horse women or Asuka, its odd who they chose to use in title feuds. Seems like we keep seeing people like Carmella, Lana, Zelina, Natalya, Nia and Lacey used a lot as that next level instead if the Shayna Baszler, Ember Moon, Bianca Belair, etc of the world, or any number of the super talented women in NXT waiting to be called up

    I mean they just had a battle royal for a title shot that lacked talent, but at least had Shayna and Bianca in it, but neither of them even made the last 5

    Imagine the women’s division under the reign of Baszler and Belair. Would be amazing

    RAW is going to be the developmental brand now that full focus is on Smackdown.

    Giving Lana some spotlight isn’t bad. She can cut good promos but she struggles in ring.

    For some reason they have the tag titles on two major challengers for Asuka so for now it’s gonna be off the radar talent getting a chance.

    Teams that should’ve had the women’s tag titles by now
    - Fire & Desire
    - The IIconics (2nd reign; when they first returned)
    - The Riott Squad (when they were feuding with the IIconics)
    - Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez

    Get rid of the tag titles. It’s not a deep enough roster to have multiple singles titles and tag belts. They also don’t have enough tv to develop storylines

    It’s deep as fuck, between all 3 rosters, if they ever stop using the same 4-5 women. Now, I’ll agree with your 2nd part though.

    You really can’t count NXT with the other two. Clearly they shifted gears and no longer are pushing NXT as main roster. They were the headline of last years draft and the next few months and now nothing.

    And what’s left of the two brands isn’t very developed because they don’t give many of the ladies much TV time. It’s basically the title programs and nothing else.

    I haven’t seen a roster breakdown but WWE would be very wise to load RAW with more female talent and give 1/2 the TV time to them to develop. It would go a long way a year or two from now when you have established characters that you can now push into main event spots without the reaction you saw tonight.

    I'd rather they have women's tag teams on one brand, and just one singles belt on the other.

    He’s not mentally well and all his actions scream as much. Not sure why WWE would invest so much time and money into this guy. He doesn’t move the needle and isn’t some mega stud.
