Yeah, I've been saying for awhile now that all the Jinder Mahal stuff should have been with the US Title and all the AJ Styles/Kevin Owens stuff should have been for the World Title.

Yeah would've really been a better progression for Mahals character and Owens and Styles were Universal and WWE champions this time last year. Still wish they would have given the Andre Memorial Battle Royal to Mahal so his push wouldn't have come as such s shock.

If Enzo could wrestle he'd be such a perfect breath of fresh air for that show.

I totally don't get the love for Roode and never have. His matches are average at best. Take away his entrance and he's Curtis Axel

Enzo was sent to ensure everyone stops watching 205 Live. Smart play by Vince. He sent in his nuke.

If 205 Live does get shitcanned, I hope they go back to taping Superstars or something of that ilk before SmackDown to be the blue brand's "B-show".
Ridiculous that Raw, which is already 3 hours with an overrun, has 2 supplementary shows (205, Main Event) while SmackDown has jack shit. |

Enzo on 205 live makes sense, either 205 live or a manager is about all he's good for. I like Enzo and think he's entertaining but he's not a wrestler.

Big fan of Curtis Axel and Bobby Roode. Axel is underated and underutilized.

When Bobby Roode became NXT champion I thought "This COULD be the beginning of the end of NXT being cool".
When Drew McIntyre became NXT champion I thought "THERE it is." |

I don't watch NXT so SmackDown was my introduction to "WWE Bobby Roode" and he struck me as being a hybrid of Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect. His theme also sounds very "Queen-ish". Which is good I guess, because I like Queen. |

Have a feeling he's just a transitionary champ, and is going to be moved up soon. Then you've got Cole, Black, Gargano, Dijak when he comes in....even Almas and Itami are showing signs of their old selves, and getting a good handle on their characters.

Honestly, I actually like him a great deal more than Roode, so I don't even have a problem with him as champ.

Probably doesnt want to deal with the horrific creative on the main roster

Was impressed by Drew when he went to TNA and was shocked at how big he looked as I didn't remember him being that big. Was always tall but he put on alot of muscle once he left WWE. Feel like he really enjoyed the freedom he got in TNA and would probably still be there if Corgan got control. Also got to work the independent scene a bit and got to really liking the atmosphere of a small arena. NXT fits perfectly into that area and I imagine he's more comfortable there than he would on the main roster again. He'll probably end up on the main roster though eventually. Have no problem with him bei g NXT Champion although the difference in size between him and Adam Cole will be hilarious.

Roode pretty much wrestles the style WWE loves for main events which is why his title reign in NXT had more of a classic WWF/NWA feel with slower paced matches. Ends up sticking out in a bad way but not Jinder or Triple H (vs Reigns, Mania 32) levels of bad because modern WWE is a lot more faster paced now.
Probably the best person to have face Jinder since Jinder's matches these day tend to be a lot slower and/or drawn out than someone like Styles or Cena. |

IMO
Bobby Roode is extremely boring in the ring and really lucked out with his theme Drew McIntyre rules, but should turn heel |

I also wonder how wise it was to not just have Roode squash Aiden.

What Roode makes up for in excitement is a better ability to tell a story in the ring than a lot of guys. |
