Vince McMahon, being the genius that he is, also could have booked this situation exactly the way he did, by having the other two members of The New Day earn a spot in a WWE Championship match for Kofi by winning a Tag Team gauntlet match (brilliant move to have The Usos forfeit out of … Read moreVince McMahon Genius & Charlotte Flair Shines

One huge topic that is absolutely imperative to discuss is the fact that Kofi Kingston, although he did win the gauntlet match, he did not defeat Daniel Bryan. Vince McMahon is trying to make it seem as though he does not want Kofi anywhere near the WWE Championship. I was legitimately distraught after watching SmackDown … Read moreStoryline Energy Manipulation of Emotions

The McMahon family may indeed have the heel persona ingrained into their DNA, and Shane is no exception. The feud between Randy Orton and AJ Styles has officially gotten personal. Both men dropped quite a few truths about the others’ career. Orton claimed that while AJ was wrestling for $20 a night, he was winning … Read moreOrton vs. Styles Feud Officially Personal

It’s encouraging to see Kevin Owens maintaining his heelish tendencies, as cited by him calling the WWE universe a “pretentious jackass.” He is being positioned as the babyface in this feud with Daniel Bryan because Daniel cannot go face after he has been so much of a heel. There’s plenty of reason to be confident … Read moreFinally, a Title for Samoa Joe

First off, it’s great news for Kevin Owens to be getting a WWE title match as the first opportunity he gets following his return from injury. How can one help though not to have their heart go out to Kofi Kingston. This is a massive blow to not only Kofi but the entire New Day. … Read moreWill Kofi Get a Championship Match & Keven Owns’ Stunner Performance

SmackDown Live this week was arguably better than Raw. They need to up their game if they are going to be moving to Fox in eight short months. The NXT guys who were just recently brought up really add a new element to WWE TV, specifically Aleister Black. Everything about him screams future WWE champion. … Read moreBlack is Head and Shoulders Above Them All

From SmackDown Live, the performance from Kofi Kingston was absolutely incredible. That reminded me of a Flair or Steamboat type of performance, or if you want to go back in more recent history, it reminded me of the performance from Seth Rollins just last year in a gauntlet match right around this time. Seth pinned … Read moreA Flair or Steamboat Type of Performance

Two things really stood out to me from SmackDown Live. First of all, Triple H did an unbelievable job of significantly twisting the narrative of Becky Lynch’s Royal Rumble victory by claiming that she was afraid of what Ronda Rousey would do to her at WrestleMania. This makes total sense that WWE would elect to … Read more“That’s All I’ve Got to Say About That”

As for SmackDown Live this week, the first thing I would like to mention is how excited I am that R-Truth is getting a sizable push compared to what he normally gets, as he got a notable victory against Shinsuke Nakamura. I am also happy that Nakamura and Rusev appeared to be forming a tag … Read moreR-Truth Push & That’s the Way the Cookie Crumbed for Shinsuke

I don’t have much to add about this week’s episode of SmackDown Live. It was very similar to last week’s episode. It’s very clear that WWE as a whole is already jumping ahead to the Royal Rumble.

I will admit that this week’s episode of Smackdown Live wasn’t the greatest, but some Wrestling is a heck of a lot better than no Wrestling. And it’s not like the episode was horrible or anything, I would probably give it a C-. The segment when the show first opened was again awesome with Otis … Read moreOtis’ Protein Shake Potion for Becky Lynch

On the SmackDown side of things, I didn’t think that this episode was the greatest episode. No storylines really took significant steps forward, but some wrestling is a whole lot better than no wrestling (that’s for sure). The most positive thing I can take away from last night is how much I am buying Daniel … Read moreSome Wrestling is Better Than no Wrestling
