I guess I'm lucky for catching things from English/Dillinger-onward, as nothing has seemed off to me. But again, I never catch much SD on any
given week, so it's about the same effect as randomly catching RoH every so often in that I haven't been given enough to dislike from
repeat exposure and whatnot.
Also, when Lana shows up on SD, will she still be sporting an accent, or will she start speaking in her normal voice and express shock that switching
shows somehow managed to magically eliminate the accent? GIMME A SILLY REASON, WWE.

We're all kings in Canadia. It's the land of equal poutinery! ... I meant "opportunity", dammit.
And I want Lana to join Breezango, and pretend that she never existed before that very moment. Rusev be all like "Bitch, why you don't talk to
me no more?" and she be all "Who are you, Hairy Bulgarian?"

That's probably better than my idea of bringing back Snitsky so they can recreate the Pregnant Lita angle, but this time he kills Lana's
accent. Or at least infinitely more tasteful.
While we're at it, bring back Heidenreich and recreate his poetry "slam" with Cole, but use JBL instead. Because.

I gladly accept this internet, with the hopes that one day I discover its true use in a time of crisis. And I'll enjoy my time with the Blue
Show! As I'll probably immediately return to not being able to catch anything by next week.
Looking over some of the shifts to SD, I'd hope the Shining Stars get some kind of gimmick polishing so they maybe actually do something other
than fill a hole in a multi-team tag match or job to some other more over team. Otherwise, I assume it's back to hawking Puerto Rican timeshares
and losing. I think it's also probably safe to say RAM got the best out of their Lady Trading. I'd forgotten Tamina was even on RAM in the
first place, since I don't recall them using her once since the brand re-splittening. Similarly, I'd already forgotten Sin Cara was on RAM
despite vaguely recalling him popping up at random times.

Reports say the crowd started the night off with a "FIRE BRADSHAW!" chant, and a fan was ejected after refusing to give up his "Bradshaw Bullied

Pretty baller move for Nakamura to just stare down Ziggler until Dolph handed his mic for Nak to speak. If WWE was worried about how the more redneck
crowds would react to a guy so flamboyant pairing him against Ziggler is a great idea.

So the end result of the "shake up" is they've essentially just phoned in that Orton/Wyatt 2 will be even less interesting than the first and
the minor titles switched shows. Superstars=SHOOKEN.

This brand split is bullshit. It accomplishes nothing and confuses everything. Leave it to WWE to make something complicated and un-fun.

KO is doing exactly what I hoped he would do on Talking Smack, which is dial up the passive-aggressiveness and just be an all-out bitter sociopath.

My only issue, as others have mentioned, was the relative lack of pomp and circumstance that's usually afforded things like the draft in
previous years. On RAM and SD it seemed more like the E's presentation was, "Meh, here's this wrassler you like over here now for reasons
known only to Vince and Bucky Bootlickerson."
I am quite anxious to see Dolph and Nak get nuts though. Dolph will probably find a way to 360 his head Exorcist-style just to supermegaoversell one
of Nak's running knees.

They're not even year in into this Brand Split. Just doing a few changes to freshen up the matches is fine.
New Day can breathe some life back into their act and at the same time be the team that finally makes the SD Tag divison a regular fixture.
Zayn, Owens, Styles, Orton, Nakamura, and Dolph is a group that has the potential to be the Smackdown Six V3. With the exception of Zayn vs Owens and
Dolph vs Orton, you have a nice number of fresh potential match ups.
Charlotte can refresh her act and at the same time elevate the SD's Women Division. They overdid it on RAW, but SD still hasn't a string
of good to great women's matches like Charlotte vs Sasha.
Rusev can rebuild himself and be have awesome hoss matches against Luke Harper.

Hope we do get Nakamura-Miz at some point. King Of Strong Style vs. King Of Safe Style. Guy who knees people in the face vs. guy who you'd
love to see get kneed in the face.
I'll settle for Ziggler achieving low orbit after taking the Kinshasa, though.

It is a clumsy idea but I think they're executing it a lot better this time. Both rosters have enough for the Main Event scene, midcard, tag
teams, and the women's division. Not like last time where RAW had Trish, Lita, Victoria, Molly Holly and more while SD had to do Torrie Wilson
vs Dawn Marie for over 6 months. Meanwhile SD had the Smackdown Six killing it on the tag team division and then inmediately followed by the
World's Greatest Tag Team while RAW had the Dudleyz Boyz vs put together teams or cheap gimmicks like La Resistance for more than a year.
