[The Q]

So is it just me or with Braun turning heel and saying he doesn’t care about bliss, did they just paint themselves into a corner with Alexa having to be sister Abigail to save this story?

Retribution aside, Smackdown has consistently been pretty solid the last several weeks.

I don't like Asuka winning this thing.

Not only because you are once again really barely using most of your female roster, but...

They waited 8 months too long for this push.

Let me guess.

She unifies the belts.

Then we'll get Sasha/Bayley for a new SD title.

but yes, SD has been consistently better than RAW for the most part.

so obviously Sonya is the one shaving her head, the question is how do they do it without burying Sonya and her momentum.

I’m totally not seeing that at all, if anything I see her taking one title because the interference backfired and that leads to a rift between Sasha and Bayley.

idk. Sasha almost certainly loses.

I was cautiously hoping for ripley.

but such a short build up makes sense to go with so done with history, but you could’ve done this story and given someone else screen time

Braun-Fiend double turn?

 

[The Q]

Braun-Fiend double turn?

im not sure.

he didn’t save bliss.

and they were both laughing hysterically.

I think the fiend was just happy he brought the monster back out of braun.

 

[The Q]

So was this just to check ic title off the list for styles career?

Probably

 

[Judge Fudge]

I feel that Bliss interferes and costs Stroman the match.

Make bliss into a Demon Goddess

 

[Judge Fudge]

Now Roman is something that I didn't see coming

surprise no show by bliss...


However...what a twist at the end

 

[The Q]

Now Roman is something that I didn't see coming

even better...HEEL Roman.

btw. Look at the shirt....

 

[Judge Fudge]

btw. Look at the shirt....

I did. Loved it

 

[The Q]

I did. Loved it

Man if he’s the leader...that’s a huge twist.


That I love

 

[Duffman]

even better...HEEL Roman.

Is he a heel though? The Fiend doesn’t really have a side and Braun seemed to just turn heel after the Swamp match so that would make Roman a face.

I know the lines have been blurred, but do faces normally act like that?

I kinda did. They kept throwing that "You'll never see it coming" in your face the last couple of weeks so it got me thinking about what they'd actually do. And I knew it wouldn't be something "you'd never see coming" but it would have to be something they think would be a shock but is actually sorta predictable. WWE rarely thinks outside the box too much so I knew it wouldn't be anything mindblowing. So I figured a return or debut. I figured either Cena would make a surprise short term return or Reigns was coming back. Once WWE released a bunch of new Reigns merch online last night, that tipped it off.
