You know it would be real easy to cover Bayley vs Jax: bring up Bayley had a match the previous night where she banged up her shoulder while Jax has been resting a few weeks.

Of course this would require Bayley to have a very long hard fought match with Jax and possibly even BEAT her down the line, so....yeah.

Wikipedia posted:

Team Raw (Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and TBD) vs. Team SmackDown (TBD, TBD, TBD, TBD, and TBD)

Team Raw (Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Nia Jax, TBD, and TBD) vs. Team SmackDown (Nikki Bella, TBD, TBD, TBD, and TBD)

Team Raw (The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and/or Xavier Woods), TBD, TBD, TBD, and TBD) vs. Team SmackDown (Heath Slater and Rhyno, The Hype Bros (Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley), TBD, TBD, and TBD)

Though it's WWE so nothing is 100% and they could always switch people up.

Was Raw Talk such a tire fire that they've abandoned the idea already? I mean, it was not good but JeriKO saved it by the end to put it in the 'passable' range.

It would be funny if Bryan put together a team of people who all get along to counter. AJ, Bray, Harper, Orton, and I dunno, Corbin. Sure they're all heels, but there won't be in fighting.

Or Dean booed for good, I'm happy with either

Just realizing the captain of the tag survivor series team is Heath Slater. I thought I was out of "Heath Slater in 2016"s but here's another one, Heath Slater leading a survivor series team in 2016.

As if anyone in-character will notice. In character everyone was shocked when Brian "Man With The Plan" Kendrick had a plan. People still trust Randy The Viper Orton. If Ric Flair started off a match with a handshake offer the other guy will still take it. I have no doubt Shane and Daniel will put the lone wolf on a 5 man team.

Replaced because the original team was discovered to have Tyler Reks on it, as I recall. Who I think beat Low-Ki to get there.

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

I don't watch RAW, (because I is cool and good and clever and ace). But I am saddenned on how I hear they are ruining Bayley.

Do they still let her hug people? Do they let her smile, and be happy and engage with the little girls in the front row? Do they let her wrestle good matches?

And if not, why the gently caress not? What else would you have her do? Why would you take everything that got her over away from her?

I sometimes don't watch Smackdown because on Monday I can't help myself and watch Raw which crushes my will to watch wrestling and will to live.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

Raw is good. Goldberg? Good. The key to wrestling: it is comic books. History does not matter. Future and past are meaningless. There is only now. Goldberg good. Nia Jax is good, Bayley match was funny.

Bayley needs to do the whole "I'm serious now" thing she did in the run up to her Asuka bouts. At the very least she is going to do better than Serious Enzo and Cass by default.

Glad to see SS taken seriously with main event talents, the team matches should make for great spectacle. The knock-on bonus of Goldberg/Lesnar carrying the singles weight (the other benefit is that there is one less month of New Day handily beating a random title contender team).

Ha, as if Karl Anderson could ever get over just because he's good at wrestling! Look at how generic he is! He's so generic even the highly creative Enzo has repeated the same joke about his genericness to the point the insult ITSELF is now generic!

I have a serious question: has Raw done anything to elevate ANYBODY since the Brand Split? It seems to me that literally every single wrestler on their entire roster has done nothing but tread water, go downhill, or recover from going downhill to the level they were at when they started. Enzo and Cass, The Club, The New Day, Bayley, Sasha, Charlotte, Rollins, Foley, Zayn, Braun, Brock, the loving ENTIRE CRUISERWEIGHT DIVISION... is any one of them better off today than they were at Summerslam? I think not.

Maybe Jericho and Owens? A bit?

That's the most damning comparison of them all to Smackdown. They took the dregs and made a fully-fleshed roster while Raw took the cream and squandered them at every turn.
