Superstars is being canceled so Main Event is being moved to Mondays for taping while 205 will be taped before Smackdown airs. Glad they are doing that instead of making it a live show after Smackdown is done taping.

Someone should do the Sheamus-Alberto thing but with Charlotte and Sasha. Thats my HOT TAKE!
Except this feud isn't really devaluing the title imo

Yeah and the matches are these sloppy (in a good way) fights where you feel these two really want to win the title and they are treated as equals who on any given night can be bested by the other. Now granted I'd wish they would spread this out to PPVs instead of Raws and PPVs, but it is what it is.

Asuka's been champ since April and it still works for me. Sasha and Charlotte trade the title back and forth over three to four months and it feels like an eternity.

There are lots of other factors at work but maybe three hours of Raw a week is Too Much Wrestling.
Its the opposite for me, Asuka's reign has felt like an eternity because all she does is squash opponents once every taping and then wins her match at a Takeover.

Looks like Aries is going to 205; which is good for Roddy Strong probably

205 Live started really rough, but got better and better as it went on; so hopefully its like early NXT and they work out the kinks

Smackdown being light on wrestling makes sense, when you consider they had 2 shows to build to TLC. I thought it was still very good, with lots of good promos. I mean they sold me on the Wyatts/AA match with Bray & Randy's promo. When Randy joined the Wyatts I thought it was dumb as hell but he actually legitimizes the Wyatts somewhat and looks to be a slow-burn where Randy takes them down from within, guessing it's Randy & Bray's Mania match.
I like how they organically introduced the tables match stip for the Becky vs Alexa match

Rich Swann is great and I'm super happy for that dude because he deserves it, but how do you not have Tozawa or Cedric or Metalik wrestle on the debut episode of your cruiserweight program

What the gently caress are you doing
Vince/HHH logic has me thinking is that they didn't want the main event to get "overshadowed" by a hot opener so they started slowly instead of going balls out.

Is that the same as the lucha rules Chikara uses for trios matches (and maybe 2v2 matches too, I can't recall) - where the legal man getting knocked out of the ring constitutes a tag and his partner can come in? Cause that would be great. They need to make the CW division be different from the rest of their shows, otherwise it's just small guys wrestling the same matches as the big guys. A rule change like that would really help the matches be a bit faster paced and stand out more.
Maybe also having a lot of the main eventers not wrestle a cruiserweight style would help things too.

He's probably channeling Steph's and HHH's reactions when he told them that he was going into movies and that he should be treated better since it would be good PR for the company

Of course Alexa Bliss won the tables match, how the hell is she gonna get put through a table? Even if she fell off the rafters she'd bounce off.
It would have been a great finish for Becky to win after hitting multiple suplexes on the table until it finally broke, much like how HIAC should have ended.
