For nerds like me who follow this sort of thing, James Ellsworth is now the WWE Linear Champion. :allears:

And if he loses a match somewhere within the next week, the Linear Title could be lost on the Indies.

The cool thing about Clash of Champions is that it's a PPV that's all about how all the Raw titles are on the line. That's unique.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

What do you reckon they are going to do with The Miz now his Ziggler feud is over? He doesn't have the belt, and his current smug heel persona worked best with it.

Also, Breezetective looks like it could be fun.

And for everyone bitching about Goldberg/Lesnar. It'll be a hoss off between two guys that don't care about the wrestling industry much less the WWE, and will laugh about the wheelbarrow of cash taht Vince has wheeled to each of their houses to make it happen. So long as they don't steal airtime from Heath Slater, or JerichOwens, then relax and let it pass by.

I said this a couple times in the GDT but a thing I really like is Miz accidentally loving himself over by recruiting the loving Spirit Squad in order to gently caress with Ziggler. Icarus flew too close to the sun

Blue pants was an actual meme, insofar as she was never meant to be showcased in any way but her Fallout cosplay caught the audience'a attention. Brass was (allegedly) not nearly as over with management as she was with the fans.

James Ellsworth was given mic time to milk as much face heat from him as they could before squash time, and he excelled. Fans like him and, in contrast to Pants, clearly people behind the scenes like him too. They were prepared for the possibility that he might get over and when he did, they rolled with it. He may not be there long term, but he has heat, why not pass it to a good heel? I think it will be easier for SD crowds to let go of Ellsworth, relative to Full Sail's somewhat long-tailed attachment.

But between this and Blue Pants' brief run and the Slater / Rhyno push, it seems pretty clear that Ryan Ward and co are not shy about pushing faces the crowd takes to. I highly doubt Beauty and the Manbeast as inaugural tag champs was a medium-term plan when AA was the highest picked tag team draft. But they got the push, because people loved the I Got Kids angle. It's weird and cool to see that kind of booking in WWE.

So Smackdown has 6 weeks to build up to Survivor Series, where the majority of their roster is going to be facing people not on their show in three different survivor series matches? Plus, the Women's champ is out for a month?

Lets see how this plays out...
