So I'm guessing they decided to split Ricochet and Aleister and then moved Andrade back to SD so that Aleister and Zelina wouldn't be apart?

it was a kind gesture to undo the bad thing they did. perhaps this is the first of many.

Fox wanted more Latinx wrestlers so they can draw eyeballs when they simulcast Smackdown to Fox Desportes, so Andrade and Zelina. They don't like to break up married couples, so Aleister went, too.

Yeah I saw a pic on reddit about it that was funny. I think alesteir was homer and Charlotte was Agnes and Zelina was Edna and Andrade was Marge and they’re all in the car together in a scene from “The Principal and the Pauper” where they were going to get Seymour AKA Armin Tamzarian back, and Homer asked marge why Edna was there and why Agnes was there and why he was there, and I think the implied joke was that they were in the car going to smackdown. It doesn’t exactly translate but it’s funny.

Pretty much yeah. Also Andrade is dating Charlotte so there's another element to that.

You can see on the TV behind them that the Naomi/Mandy storyline is playing out, so on whatever episode of SmackDown that was. IIRC they only had a backstage promo on that episode.

So it sure seems like those women's tag belts turned into a joke in record time.
The champs are losing in singles competition. The Usos would lose in singles all the time and they would always argue they're a team, so one could only hope that's the general vibe for actual teams and not teams like Nakamura/Rusev.

It was very dumb of them to break up Boss and Hug simply because they put them on separate brands. Bayley could be on SD and still be champ since the women's belts are supposed to travel. Hell, it even gives the reign a lot of emotional weight since they need to be champs to stay together. Giving it to the IIconics isn't bad, but they're meant to be shitheel cowards who squeak by wins to get a big pop for the future face champions. The best example I have is when Too Cool won the belts from E&C (thanks to Joe C., RIP). I guess that's Asuka/Kairi as of now but I think they're the only face team at the moment so who loving knows. If they lose one match then win the titles the next, that's OK/standard but it really just shows the terrible depth of the women's tag team division.

At least the IIconics gave us a good promo tonight as opposed to the bad one on RAW. It's almost as if... SD is the better show... Someone should investigate.

As a heel, I love her promos. I think her ad libs have gotten good but the timing of them is still off. The delivery of promos just oozes entitlement and privilege and it's just so, so good.

What about Buddy Murphy? Not only did they put him on the opposite show as his wife, but they also didn't seem to have any plans for him on that show.

She still talks over people in a way that is "real" but doesn't always work in the world of "how wrestlers talk to each other"

it did lead to a pretty funny "Shut your mouth, you big dope" ad lib from Becky, though

Would you be my new best friends?

Yeah, she has superb volume to her voice but it also means when she bellows over somebody she completely drowns them out. Given Becky is so good on the mic it really undercuts things to have her drowned out by her opponent, so Becky just losing her temper and telling her to shut the gently caress up was great.

They turned KO heel again way too fast, we all knew that he would betray the New Day eventually, but they should have had him stay an honorary member for at least a month(indeed personally I think they should have waited till Big E comes back before doing it) before making him betray them, as is it just makes Kofi and Xavier look like morons for trusting him

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



so uhh Becky is going to have two matches at MITB defending the raw title against Lacey and the SD title against Charlotte

Why would he wait for their large and powerful third member to return before betraying them? He'd look very stupid for not striking while they were at their weakest.

I really don't get all the Charlotte fan fare tbh. I totally got the hype back in the day, but now every aspect of her comes across like a poor imitation of her dad to me, which seems to be by design.

Her woo is bad, her chops are terrible, her strut looks awful. She can hardly emote anymore because so much poo poo has been injected into her face. She has the hallmark of a bad promo where instead of being able to deliver something with passion or importance, she just gets louder at the big moments.

She was quite good IMO, when her thing was trying to live up to her dad's reputation and being in his shadow. That was an interesting place for her because everything about it played off of her family history, but also acknowledged that she was on her own path trying to do her own thing. Now, they treat her like she's equivalent or that she's exceeded her dad and it's just sucked all the interest out of her character for me.

Am I the only one thinking that Charlotte/Becky won’t happen?

Women’s MITB opens, someone from SD wins, Becky beats Lacey, then gets cashed in on for the SD Belt. Charlotte doesn’t have a match with the new champion so we don’t get the match and it keeps Charlotte away from MITB

More likely Charlotte beats Becky then gets cashed in on by a babyface. They clearly want her to break Ric's title win record so this is an easy way to pad it.
