Not many changes for the women then. A bunch of jobbers to Raw but the main faces stayed.

I have a feeling they'll move Asuka as a heavy hitter to Smackdown, probably to eventually continue her feud with Charlotte (probably with the roles reversed, Charlotte being the challenger, Asuka being the champion), and then move over Dana and someone from Absolution to balance it out somewhat.

Yeah Smackdown can still get a few moved over, but not much has changed with Raw’s.

Yeah the only MAJOR name that had the potential of moving was Alexa, and she announced she's invoking her rematch clause at Backlash, so that is probably off the table.

Wouldn't be shocked if someone from Absolution is sent over to Smackdown tonight. If I had to hazard a guess who goes over on the female side, it would be Asuka, Mickie James, and either Sonya or Mandy (not both!)

Just a PSA about that Uproxx article. The guy who was cited, Brad Shepard has broken a few scoops, the XFL and HOF stuff, but otherwise his credibility is pretty much non-existent.

To give you an idea of how bad he can be, he occasionally writes "scoops" for The Dirty Sheets. Which is a site ran by Billi Bhatti. That should tell you everything you need to know about Brad.

Asuka being the dangerous but weird part of Team ABC (at least that's what they should be called) is going to be great.

New WWE.com poll:

"Should AJ Styles wear a protective cup at the Greatest Royal Rumble event?"

I'm glad the wwe.com staff has a sense of humor. Especially with the answers. :allears:

Yeah it's been brought up elsewhere (and maybe even here), but there is a severe lack of credible heels for the Smackdown Women's Division. The IIconics will be jobbers within one or two months most likely, Carmella is basically the definition of a transitional champion for either Asuka or Charlotte (if they decide to put the title back on her), and Absolution is just slightly above jobber status.

They should turn Becky so she'll have something to do.

They'll turn Nikki Bella if she ever comes back and job her out to everyone in response to publicly breaking off her engagement with John Cena.

Nah everyone and I mean everyone thinks highly of Peyton.

Yeah, but they are at the mercy of a 70+ year old man who can love someone one minute and absolutely hate them the next minute.

!!!SCOOP ALERT!!!

I finally figured out the Oil Rumble stipulation:

50 Saudi Princes who contributed funding to the show are assigned a number. This number correlates to the entrance position of a wrestler.

Whichever wrestler wins, the prince who holds his number in the roulette gets a night with the diva of his choosing. It’s Indecent Proposal x OPEC x Piledrivers.

(Women’s revolution, THAT’S NOT ENOUGH, WHADDYA SAY, LADIES??)

:chloe:


In other news, can't wait for THE BIG DOG to win the WWE Universal Title AND the Greatest Royal Rumble in the same night.
