I'm a pretty big Bray mark, but I was okay with this and definitely thought Smackdown was the better show this week. Bray kind of seems like the
shark in the tank right now, kind of just devouring and attacking whatever comes near him. I agree that his time will come.
I think the thing I liked most is that they seem to have a story and an arc and some actual development for Ziggler. Last week seemed kind of flukey,
but they're running with it and building something. My guess is that he loses to Ambrose at Summerslam, but snaps to go full heel in frustration
and setting up a rematch.
And yes, when he does, he should absolutely pair with Eva Marie and dye his hair blood red.
I don't know what it is about Apollo Crews I just can't get behind. He's fine in the ring, but he's just...Rocky Maivia all
over again. Does he have the next gear of character inside him? I hope so because right now he's just a bouncy dope with some good
athleticism.
I liked that Baron Corbin still took down Miz. Lone Wolf! NOW SHAVE YOUR FUCKING HEAD ALREADY.
I agree about Carmella's patter. She's no Enzo.

Having slept on it, I think we all missed the boat on what happened with the GOAT female wrestler. We all assumed it was a work but it doesn't
make sense to use that play in a jobber match. Then consider the filler they had to rush in because of her shortened performance
1. Rushing in a Raw performer to burn time in a returning Superstar's match
2. Changing the main event ending to have the guy we all knew was losing to win so Bray and his smaller family could burn 4-6 minutes with a champ and
an undeserving #1 contender beat down.
The lack of a medical report likely means she was rushed off to a nearby medical facility and they didn't get the MRI report before they went
off the air. I, for one, will be holding my breath until the med report is released. This could screw the brand split.

Quality? It's the same,
tired shit we have heard dozens of wrestlers tell Cena over his 15 years. Hell, Cena's response was the same, tired, shit he has responded to
dozens of other wrestlers with. AJ needs to come up with something original. Maybe in return Cena would come up with something original.
At least that segment was just boring because everything else but Orton/Lesnar was garbage. The women are getting treated like an afterthought. On Raw
they are treating them like equals to the men. Here on Smackdown basically throwing them out there just to say they gave them two segments. Ambrose
was crap on everything he touched. They looked like they were giving Bray something to build on only to immediately job him out at the end of the
night. At least Orton/Lesnar was great because otherwise the show was a complete shit fest.
ON a side note, Daniel Bryan gets "Botch of the Night" honors for referring to Apollo Crews as Apollo Creed. At least I got one laugh out of the
night.

Sheesh, what a load of self-imposed sadness. Lighten up, Eeyore.
You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,
that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but
I'm not high. You know what I mean?
