Alternatively, you could just clone Scott Hall hundreds of times, because his punches were the greatest.

The expression on Nia's face shows that she really thought she hurt Charlotte there.

She didn't protect Charlotte in the moonsault either.

For me it's a speed and athleticism issue. Everyone except Sasha Naomi and Charlotte wrestle is slow motion and Sasha is 4 feet tall and Naomi isn't an exciting wrestler but she's improved a ton in the last year but she still has a ways to go before she gets to the Sasha/Becky/Asuka level. I certainly think Becky is better in the ring than Bayley or Ember Moon.

Honestly the only other women I consider in Charlotte's league is Io Shirai (Hito Kiri) who is so good she can wrestle guys and not come off as akward.

Sasha vs alexa could be interesting since they're the same size. Should give them a chance to show off what they can do when they aren't struggling to move people

Kind of hoping Finn goes too but I doubt it. Full Bullet Club on SD would be nice. SD needs like 6 or 7 people to join. Rusev would be good too if his shoulder is close to healed

Rusev to SD would be great. They could make him a main event heel pretty easy. I also think there's a chance the cruiserweight division gets drafted to SD.

I've soured quite a bit on Sasha since her call up. Her non-Charlotte matches haven't been good whatsoever and her mic work has gotten noticeable worse, though it could be because she isn't working the same BOSS gimmick.

Bayley is just atrocious all around . I genuinely think shes not even in the top 10 of divas right now

I don't know what happened to Bayley. She was legitimately awesome for about a year in NXT.

I know they accentuated her strengths and disguised her faults in NXT (and they're doing exactly the opposite on the main roster), but even accounting for that she's doing poorly.

Add in how badly her character has been portrayed since moving up and this is what you get

Bayley should've taken the Sami Zayn route of lovable loser for a bit before strapping her, instead of the rocket she got strapped to as soon as she debuted on RAW

I doubt the CW division goes. It really helps kill part of the 3 hour raw.

byron saxton and david otunga have been swapped

calm down everyone--don't get so excited.

Only need to turn balorlol later but if club goes to SD, they could have a club vs shield as main of SS. No f'ing clue why it'd matter but that never bothered them before.

Cesaro/Sheamus/Rusev all go to SD is my PRED. People like Charlotte/KO/New Day/The Club make obvious sense but they all wrestled last night.

Boss Man threw some sweet rights, though.

Bayley doesn't actually have a character. Literally every single one of her promos has been exactly the same. 'I've been working for this my whole life' 'Thank you guys so much!' 'I'm fulfilling my lifelong dream!!!111!!!'

There's only so many times I can hear that drivel before I want to throw up.

It's one thing to make the promo when you debut/win for the first time. She's the ****ing champion now and defended succesfully at Wrestlemania. Coming out and giving that exact same promo once again last night was brutal.

I enjoyed the year long stretch where they just made it abundantly clear Charlotte was better than everyone because that's accurate and I wish it had continued.

I missed this live but either Finn Balor is the greatest seller of all time or he legit got knocked out yesterday against Jinder Mahal.

On a side note, Jinder Mahal is my new favorite wrestler. He he forever remain unhindered.

I'm leaning towards KTFO. His face had major mat burn at the end of the match.

Gotta think those types of elbows will be banned at some point

Oh, I hate this too (and the Becky Balboa stuff), but I kind of just accept that any PG-era babyface is going to have some gimmicky catch phrase nonsense.

I think I'm just much less picky with pure ring work than everyone else on the forum -- like, I barely even notice the running the ropes stuff unless it's Kelly Kelly levels of bad. The irish whip is one of those silly suspension-of-disbelief things in wrestling anyways, so meh.

KO looking good.

Wonder how Byron feels having to move back to a JBL show.

Yeah Finn was legit KTFO. Yikes. Think it was kind of a fluke though, don't really think Mahal did anything egregious, more unlucky that it caught him right behind the ear.
