So Smackdown's surprises last night were:
Daniel Bryan getting back in the ring and resigning as GM. Paige being brought in to be the new Smackdown GM. And, the debut of the Iconic Duo/Iconics. Whatever they're going by this point forward. Did I miss anything else? |
Carmella cashed in her MITB contract

Peyton and Billie aren't even The Iconics
They're the IIconics. Two I's. Good fucking god. |
I guess it doesn't matter who debuts where since there is a shake up but even so you could have had NWJ do his thing on SDL instead of Raw.

• It's pretty cool that Bryan is back on the active roster now.
Words can't really describe how I felt when Paige was announced as the new GM. Anyone would have been better than Paige and I mean anyone. Hornswoggle would have been better. Even The Great Khali. I'm really thinking about not watching SmackDown anymore now that I know I'll have to deal with seeing and hearing Paige every week but all that depends on what the roster is like after next week. If the roster sucks, then it won't be worth it to torture myself every week. I really seriously wish she would just fuck off. • I get the feeling one member of The New Day will be drafted. Hopefully it's Kofi. • I thought Peyton Royce and Billie Kay were supposed to be hot? I've heard a lot of you guys go on about how hot they are, so what's going on? They look horrible. Almost "Paige horrible" and don't get me started on their voices. They just went right through me. My first impressions however are that they're like a cross between LayCool and The Bellas. But damn, Carmella actually cashed in and won. Leaves me wondering a tiny bit why they did what they did with Charlotte and Asuka at WrestleMania. I can maybe see why they did, but it still doesn't make 100% sense. Anyway, it's quite clear that Charlotte is on her way back to Raw. • Mahal vs Orton again. Oh goody. Hopefully this is the last of Orton in the US title picture but part of me now thinks that he'll be drafted to Raw and win a Backlash, taking the US title to Raw with him. • Obviously Styles isn't going anyway but I do think Bryan will be heading to Raw and his match with Styles was done so that it would be done and out of the way before anyone forgot what a "dream match" it is. • Overall, SmackDown sucked. I've really not got high hopes for it after the draft and I really doubt I'll be watching SmackDown after next week, unless something mad happens like Curt Hawkins being drafted to SmackDown and immediately entering the WWE or mid-card title picture. |

I have no problem with Paige as GM.
IConics looked awful. Their beat down was weak. They look very skinny, and Are not that hot. I can get passt their terrible voices if they were any good. Hopefully they are good in ring unlike they showed. Carmella winning made me happy, but that ref is retarded. I did think it was weak to beat Charolette with a superkick, but oh well. Nobody cares about Jinder vs Orton, how did they not learn during the championship program? Nice to see Nakamura do something. Maybe now I have a reason to watch him |

Well since the shows and debuts are now in the books, I'll go ahead and guess the Shake-Up. There aren't any formal rules about any of this stuff so I'll just roll with 10 trades.
To Raw: Baron Corbin Bobby Roode Breezango Charlotte Naomi Randy Orton The Riott Squad Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable The Usos Zack Ryder To SmackDown: Absolution Asuka The Bar Big Cass Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel Elias Finn Balor Jeff Hardy Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson Sasha Banks I pay no mind to the fact that some of these guys have been booked in their former brand's title matches for upcoming PPVs, I think there will be some provision put in place where they'll revert shows or something if they win the belts. But anyway I expect it to be a mix of some notable swaps along with some random low-carders moving over simply to put across the randomness of the process. |
I think RAW will have an upper midcard and main-event scene that consists of:
Roman Braun Brock AJ Styles Nakamura Baron Corbin Jinder Mahal Dolph Ziggler (Cena) (HHH) (Undertaker) Bobby Roode Randy Orton Finn Balor Rusev Kevin Owens Sami Zayn SD I think will have a upper midcard/main-event scene of: Seth Rollins Daniel Bryan The Miz (Dean Ambrose) (Big Cass) Samoa Joe Jeff Hardy |
I think RAW will end up with:
Charlotte Carmella Naomi Mandy Rose Natalya I think SD will end up with: Sasha Bayley Asuka Nia I think RAW will end up with: Big E Uso's Benjamin/Gable I think SD will end up with: Kofi/Xavier The Revival |
Royce was hotter pre boob job. Still super hot though.
|
Boob job was like 3 months ago or something
|
Good to see Kay and Royce. i love their Aussie accents.

Seems next week's Smackdown has the legit chance of breaking the 3+ million mark for viewers. This week managed to get 2.95 million viewers which is the highest since last year's Shakeup episode.
