They're not doing anything stupid with the division. They just aren't doing anything with it.

Unrelated, why doesn't Byron Saxton wrestle anymore? Was it an injury? He seemed to be pretty good.

Figured that was likely going to be the case when his initial surgery got delayed. Went from something routine to something a lot more major.

I wouldn’t even say there was a division as such. Just a few guys that pop up in NXT (and 205Live) from time-to-time. Dunne has been defending against non-UK guys lately.

They have 5 as their main guys and maybe a couple more on the side from the original UK tourney batch.

WWE reporting Shane O Mac needs surgery due to diverticulitis

Just have KANE be his tag partner #TeamHELLNO

KO about to do the big red job to DEMON KANE I predict

Why not Dolphin? Have Dolph and D Bryan win and superkick the fuck out of him after the match

Well if that's legit then... yeah its gotta be team HELL NO.

But Kane is on Monday Night RAW :eek:

He could debut as Mayor Kane

Vastardikai'd
 

:shifty:

Or, if the women's roster and the tag-team division were confined to one show each. Men on Raw, Women on SD. Make the Smackdown belts the Women's Tag. Deepen the tag roster by having it on one show and actually USE the goddamn teams they have instead of the holding pattern on top of the potential new recruits waiting down in Florida on top of teams waiting around like War Machine.

As for UK/N.American title, I think the NA is just supposed to be strictly the NXT midcard strap, and the UK championship, sad to say, is just a prop. If they actually had plans for some sort of UK only division/show/promotion, it would make more sense, but again, it seemed like a ploy just to get their hands on talent and foot in a door they don't really have big plans for (similar to how Jinder was just supposed to be a magic bullet for India because reasons), but it kinda stops other places from being as big if all the best talent and specific venue is under WWE contract. Also seems kinda weird that Pete Dunne can kinda go anywhere and do whatever the fuck he wants in spite of being a WWE branded champion. Pretty fucking awesome, but still weird.

Women don't draw enough to have smackdown for themselves.

Did you know that was the original concept of Smackdown

Wasn't saying SD should be an all women show. I was saying it makes more sense to consolidate the women's roster to one show, and the show that makes more sense is Smackdown.

I'm truly baffled as to how her mask stays on, doesn't seem to clip on to anything, just places it on her face and it stays there. :?:

Ah, just spotted it, a mouthpiece she bites onto.

I don't like the idea of the NA title on NXT. Like, why? The UK Title I sort of got, because it was going to be its own show and just never took off, but Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate have been killing it in the eyes of people, so why scrap it? But yeah, champions should be the champion of something. Being the champion of NXT's mid-card is just ridiculous.

Also, I really think that if D-Bry needs a different tag team partner for WrestleMania, they really should go with Dolph Ziggler. And I think they will.

I see the validity there. It wouldn't over shadow Bryan which is key. Plus the match would be awesome.

I think there is also suitable storyline foundation from it, from what I've read. Dolph takes the beating, tags in Bryan, huge pop.

Dolph is death.

Normally I'd agree, but in this setting it would be a bit different.

Kane is more death.

I feel like anyone who tags with Bryan will be super over for the night by osmosis

Chris Benoit's cadaver would get a huge pop if it was Bryan's tag partner

Just get CM Punk

Ez

Kane and Braun team Braun in Hell

Probably this. The other guy isn't really going to be as important.

Kane and Dolph should both be no-nos.

Eh, I think Dolph fits. I'm sure they will probably do Bryan vs. Dolph too, and hopefully it's nearly as good as Bragging Rights and does Dolph some good. I don't hate the guy, it's just hard to give a shit when they've done nothing with him and his work has lost whatever charm it had. But he's not awful and without possibility of reformation.

Nah, keep him away. He'll make everything he touches feel "un-special".

Just make up for fucking up with him and put Rusev in there

That'd be awesome. Would pop the mania crowd like a motherfucker.

Yes Rusev please.

Wow what a great shot
