Is there anyone who really thinks they're going to have Randy drop the belt already? I'm glad Jinder won, there is no one else in that match who I'd want to see tied up in a Randy feud only to lose.

As of last night, I view the US Title as Smackdown's top belt. The best wrestlers are vying for it and it got the main event slot despite nothing being on the line in the match.

I stand on land.
I dunno: Orton going up against Zayn right now probably wouldn't result in a Zayn win, if it did it wouldn't be too meaningful, and in the process would further piss off hardcores to Orton. Styles and Nakamura aren't well-positioned for a title shot right now. Jinder got some heat, seems like the IWC spheres are all curious what will happen, he did come back all "hard-bodied", seems like creating some intrigue for what's probably a one-off shot to "prove" main event worthiness isn't the worst idea? Biggest complaint is the material he was given was pretty bland and generic at best.

I don't really have a problem with them trying this out. If the whole thing ends up sucking hard (fully possible!) then...we're basically back to square one with that other potential stuff anyway, and Orton retains over a heel. Can't hinder the Jinder.

It's not that unheard of that the champ gets some almost random challenger that would normally never get a WWE Title match on PPV...

Here are some odd ones I can think of where I thought the challenger didn't even deserve to be in the match because they were so low on the card or it just came out of nowhere.
Undertaker vs. Farooq
Rock vs X-Pac
Big Show vs Big Boss Man
Cena vs. Great Khali
Cena vs. Lashley
Triple H vs Vladimir Kozlov in a triple threat
Cena vs. R-Truth

The real outrage from Smackdown should be how badly AA is getting it. I only watch the NXT takeovers so I loved their matches but I've never really seen their promos, do they suck? Why have they gotten no time on the stick? It's very obviously causing them to die a slow death because nothing is being built up for them.

I am 100% sure I am not the only one excited about what the title will look like when Jinder wins. Wow, the thought of his side plates just being a bunch of veins would rock.

I can see it now...

- The title becomes three times larger than the regular belt they have now.

- The vein side plates.

- Diamond crusted veins running all through the entire belt itself.

- Back buckle grommets that are a little puffy to show the title belt cannot, WILL NOT be hindered.

My god...

A hard limit of 90-ish minutes per week is not enough time to cover the tag scene on top of the three singles titles plus time / feuds for debuting guys (Nak / Tye) and the extremely vital weekly Carmellsworth segment

I never recall them really getting mic time in front of a live crowd. If anything, they would do pretaped segments in the back where Gable was trying to convince Jordan to be his tag partner, or when they do the backstage interview with the "ready, willing, and Gable" schtick. Like, I can't ever remember them really doing that in front of a hot crowd and seeing if it was over.

They really need something to connect with the crowd. They're a great team, but relying on being great wrestlers when you aren't given much time to wrestle and lose a lot isn't gonna help. More backstage vignettes are really what they need. Maybe they should also run into Kurt at a PPV and he can try to get the "Gable Gable Gable" "Jordan Jordan Jordan" chants that go along with his theme over, since that hasn't carried up from NXT.

Wish I had the actual reason why they've stalled but back when they first got together in NXT I was told this would be their lot. Vince simply hates the collegiate Wrestler gimmick.
