Change is coming!

The WWE Draft will reassemble the rosters between Raw and SmackDown, but the changes won’t take effect until three weeks from now! Crown Jewel will be the last time Raw and SmackDown are they way they are! But without further ado, Sonya Deville & Adam Pearce come out to preside over the draft! The stars of Raw and SmackDown are all here, all waiting to hear their fate! So then please welcome the overall first pick of the 2021 WWE Draft! SmackDown chooses… The Tribal Chief, the WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns! The Head of the Table stays with Fox and the blue brand and Pat McAfee is fired up!

Pearce announces Raw’s pick, the second overall, and it is… The WWE World Champion, Big E! The Powerhouse of Positivity moved to Raw thanks to his Money in the Bank cash-in, and he’s staying red! SmackDown goes with a shocker, the RAW Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair! But what will happen now that The Queen is on the other brand with a title? Raw closes the first round with… Bianca Belair! The EST returns to Mondays to make them the B-E-S-T night! But to address the picks, here comes the number one!

Roman Reigns heads to the ring!

The champion of 397 days holds up his belt for the pyro, then hands it over to Heyman to hold up for him as he continues down the ramp. A recap package plays to show how Roman won and perhaps survived The Demon, Finn Balor, on Extreme Rules Sunday, but we all know that up next is The Beast, Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel on 10/21/21. Fans are torn between cheers and jeers as Heyman hands the belt over to Roman. “As the back of the shirt says, We The Ones. Because I’m number one. So Baltimore, acknowledge me.” Plenty of fans cheer as they accept Roman as their Tribal Chief.

Heyman gets the mic back to say, “I’m sorry, but that’s not loud enough for your Tribal Chief. It doesn’t surprise me from a room full of Balti-morons, nor should it surprise anyone who was the number one draft pick.” Because before Extreme Rules, it was the undefeated Demon. But you can’t because that Demon ran up against an exorcist named Roman… Reigns…! “But like a shark that circles around the Island of Relevancy, this shark only swims looking forward. And what this shark looks forward to is Crown Jewel. Which will not be held in Suplex City, ” because Heyman assures us that Beast will come against the Suplexorcist, Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns will remain your Universal Heavyweight Champion, and he will smash at Crown Jewel, BRRROCK! LESNARRR!! Heyman grins but here comes Lesnar!! The Beast circles the ring but Roman keeps his eyes on him. Lesnar gets into the ring and walks right up to Roman! Lesnar’s smiling but Roman’s scowling as fans chant “Suplex City!” Roman throws hands first! Then stomps then throws more hands! Roman fires up but Lesnar gets him for a GERMAN SUPLEX! That’s the first! Then ANOTHER! The Usos run in but they get GERMAN SUPLEXES! Roman is out of the ring but he stays back as Lesnar stares him down.

Lesnar throws off the flannel and dares Roman to get back in. Roman goes right up to the apron, but hops back down. Lesnar decides to pick up Jimmy Uso for an F5!! Roman still stays away, so Lesnar drags Jey up for an F5!! Roman leaves, but he’ll still have to worry about Lesnar in three weeks! Will Suplex City plant its flag on the Island of Relevancy soon enough?

Backstage interview with Charlotte Flair.

The Raw Women’s Champion will be a part of the SmackDown roster, but then how does that change her strategy? Uh, Kayla, journalism 101, congratulate her on being the first overall pick in the Women’s Division. Right, yes, congratulations. Thank you! And of course Fox took this chance to draft the most decorated woman in wrestling. #LongLiveTheQueen, WOO~! Charlotte struts away but uh, how does this affect her title reign come the Crown Jewel deadline?

Kevin Owens VS Baron Corbin!

The Prizefighter is not happy with “Happy” Corbin punking him out verbally on Corbin’s new talk show, or punking him out physically with help from an old football buddy of his in Riddick Moss. But KO hopes to get some payback on the head hyena, will “Mad Cap” Moss have something to say about it?

The bell rings and Kevin TACKLES Corbin to rain down fists! Corbin shoves Kevin away, but Kevin comes back to throw hands in the corner! Kevin stomps a mudhole, lets off and fans fire up as he clotheslines Corbin out! Kevin runs but Corbin gets away to avoid the dive. Kevin goes out to chase Corbin but Corbin gets in the ring. Corbin distracts the ref and Moss trips Kevin on the apron! Moss laughs and Corbin laughs along as SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns and Corbin throws hands on Kevin in a corner. Corbin whips but Kevin kicks back to then ENZIGURI! Corbin runs in but Kevin BOOTS him away! Kevin goes up, reels him in and TORNADO DDT’s! Cover, TWO! Moss is relieved but fans rally up for Kevin. Kevin kicks but no Stunner as Corbin rolls him! TWO, Kevin ducks and dodges but into a DEEP SIX! Cover, TWO! Corbin grows frustrated but he drags Kevin up to throw hands. Kevin CHOPS back, fans rally but Corbin throws forearms. Kevin haymakers, Corbin forearms, Kevin rebounds to forearm and CHOP! And repeat! Kevin whips corner to corner, Corbin slides out then in but Kevin SUPERKICKS!

Kevin SUPERKICKS again and Moss is panicking! Kevin goes corner to corner to CANNONBALL Corbin! Cover, TWO! Moss is relieved again and Kevin snarls. But Kevin goes up top while Corbin is down, but Corbin bails out. Kevin goes out after him but Moss creeps over. Kevin runs him over but Corbin reels Kevin in for END OF DAYS to the floor! Corbin puts Kevin in, high fives Moss, and Moss wants that one again! Corbin gets Kevin up, reels him in, END OF DAYS again!! Cover, Corbin wins!

Winner: Baron Corbin, by pinfall

Moss joins Corbin in the ring and they still laugh it up. Will these two be laughing all the way to the bank?

Who will reign?

Starting next week with the “season premieres” of SmackDown and Raw, the King of the Ring and brand new tournament, The Queen’s Crown, begin!

More Draft picks are in!

With the first pick of the second round, SmackDown selects… DREW MCINTYRE! The Scottish Warrior brings the Claymore to Fridays! Raw selects… The Raw Tag Team Champions, RKBRO! A natural choice to keep their tag team champions and their titles. SmackDown selects… the NEW DAY! Another break-up because of the Draft!? And to close this round, Raw selects the Rated R Superstar, EDGE! It seems the business he and Seth Rollins want to settle will have to settle out before Crown Jewel!

Backstage interview with Drew McIntyre.

Kayla knows McIntyre was a two-time world champion and led the company through those uncertain times of 2020. But where is his eye now that he’s on Friday Night SmackDown? McIntyre is very excited. The wheels are turning and he’s thinking of a lot of things. He’s proud of what he did on Raw, but now he’s thinking of the past, present and future. Maybe some have forgotten or didn’t know, but McIntyre got his start on SmackDown. He was young, immature, full of hopes and dreams as “The Chosen One.” McIntyre’s never forgotten about that.

To the present, there is this dark cloud looming over SmackDown that hides behind the family and the Bloodline. Someone needs to flip the damn table on them and that is why McIntyre is here! As for the future… McIntyre points his sword at the WWE Universal Championship. Will the Tribal Chief have to worry about a Claymore after getting through Suplex City?

Edge is here!

The Rated R Superstar is here to answer the Architect’s ultimatum! But will it be an answer Seth Rollins wants to hear? We find out, after the break.

SmackDown returns and Edge has a mic to say, “First of all, thank you, Baltimore, for that reaction!” Fans fire up again and Edge encourages them. That is why this is the best job in the world. Edge realized he is the only talent here who was on the original episode of SmackDown. That’s why SmackDown has always felt like home. But he’s been drafted to Raw. That’s a whole new set of opponents and challenges, which brings him to Seth Rollins. Rollins hit a stomp on Edge in Madison Square Garden and Edge had to be stretchered out. Since then, Rollins has continued to challenge Edge.

Rollins knows Edge isn’t 100% and not cleared. And that if Edge still accepts, Rollins has an advantage. But that’s well played because Edge had to come back to answer the challenge. Edge is on his way to 100. Rollins wants Edge to admit Rollins is better, but Edge is here! Edge dares Rollins to come out and get those words from him! Rollins laughs on the titantron and admits he is impressed. Edge said he’d be on SmackDown and well, what do you know? There he is. Just a couple problems, though. One small one: Edge isn’t saying what Rollins needs him to say. No announcing of retirement, no renouncing that Rollins is Edge Lite, and no actual answer of the challenge.

But the bigger problem: when Edge said he’d be on SmackDown, Rollins didn’t believe him. Edge is a liar, plain and simple. Rollins isn’t. Rollins is an honest man. SO the big problem is that Rollins isn’t there tonight. He is in fact… Right outside the Copeland house! Edge rushes out of the ring but he can’t get home in time to stop this! Rollins knocks on the door and asks for Beth Phoenix. But wait, the door is unlocked? “Uncle Sethy” laughs and makes himself at home. Gotta lock your doors, man. Oh, what a lovely house! Big fridge and Rollins is starving. What’s Edge got for leftovers? Hmm, maybe some orange juice, some apples.

But not to be rude, Rollins will sit at the dining room table like a civilized human. But he puts his feet up on the table, not so civilized. This place was hard to find, by the way. Rollins drinks right from the bottle, also not civilized. Then Rollins sees the little art corner the Copeland girls have put together. Rollins knows they’re young, but that stuff is bad. No future in art, for sure. Rollins walks around and finds the backpacks. So cute. Rollins struts about and says Edge is a lucky, lucky man. Oh wow! What a family portrait! Gorgeous daughters, but thankfully they look like Beth. Rollins then makes himself at home on the chair, grabs a remote, and uses it to turn on the little fireplace.

Rollins says this is the homiest home ever. So cozy, he might stay here all night. Rollins throws the apple on the floor and has a laugh while Edge panics and is on the phone. He tells Beth to go to her brother’s because Seth is in the house! Edge is calling his friends, too, to figure this out. But what else can Edge do so far from home?

Carmella VS Liv Morgan!

The (self-proclaimed) Most Beautiful Woman in the WWE wants revenge for the Extreme Rules kickoff, but Liv says she’ll kick Mella’s face off! What happens in this rematch after the break?

SmackDown returns and Liv fires off furious forearms! Mella bails out and demands a microphone. “You bitch! That’s the last chance you’re ever gonna have to try and destroy my beautiful face.” Mella calls in her make-up team, and they secure her face with a mask?! Mella gets in the ring and Liv is more shocked by that than anything. Fans rally with “You Look Stupid!” as Mella hits a FACEBUSTER! Mella still says she’s beautiful as she takes the mask back off to say, “I’m hot! You’re not!” So the match doesn’t even happen, but Mella acts like she won. Will Mella’s ego ever be deflated?

The third round of the Draft is here!

SmackDown opens this round by choosing… Happy Corbin & Madcap Moss! These two are surely tickled pink to stay on the blue brand. Raw selects… the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Rhea Ripley & Nikki A.S.H! They can still go wherever they want with those belts, but they’ll stay on Team Red. SmackDown selects NXT’s HIT ROW! Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, Top Dolla, Ashante Thee Adonis & B-Fab are ALL coming to Smack~ Down~! And Raw closes the round with… Keith “Bearcat” Lee! Mondays stay limitless as Keith continues to hunt on Raw!

8 Man Tag: The New Day & The Street Profits VS The Dirty Dawgs & The Alpha Academy!

Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods return to SmackDown and they get to have some Solo cups with Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins! But will they still be feeling good after taking on Robert Roode, Dolph Ziggler, Chad Gable & “The Dozer,” Otis Dozovic?

SmackDown returns as all the teams are in the ring. Teams sort out and Kofi starts with Ziggler. They circle, tie up and Kofi holds off a leg takedown with a facelock. Kofi waistlocks, Ziggler switches and tries for a headlock but Kofi resists. Kofi powers out, things speed up, Kofi hurdles and hurdles to back elbow Ziggler down! Cover, TWO! Fans fire up as Kofi gets Ziggler up, wrenches and tags Woods. Woods climbs up to drop ax handles on Ziggler’s arm. Woods wrenches, tags Ford and he climbs up to drop ax handles! Ziggler knees the bad ribs and tags Gable. Gable runs into an arm-drag! Gable fights up, Ford wrenches an arm but Gable rolls and bridges.

Gable handsprings and headlocks. Gable keeps moving to spin and drop toehold! “For the Academy!” Ford whips him away but Gable goes up and over to sunset flip! TWO, but Gable runs in, only for Ford to hurdle. Ford jumps again but Gable pushes him down to get an ANKLE LOCK! Ford turns, boots Gable away, then mule kicks and front kicks! Gable staggers, Ford wrenches and whips but Otis tags in. Ford back drops Gable and SLAPS Ziggler! SLAP for Roode! SLAP for Otis then an ENZIGURI! Fans fire up with Ford but Gable kicks the ribs. Ford whips Gable out, goes to the apron and leaps, into Otis’ arms! Otis SLAMS Ford on the apron, then THROWS him into barriers!

Fans boo but Gable cheers on his guy. The New Day and Dawkins back Roode, Ziggler and Gable off but Otis RAMS Ford into more barriers! The ref has all the teammates stand down as SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns and Gable keeps Ford from his corner with a BIG back suplex! Fans boo but Gable soaks up the heat as Ford goes to the apron. Ford shoulders into Gable, then again! Ford taunts Roode to hit a slingshot, but into a NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Gable DECKS the New Day then soaks up more heat. Gable gets Ford up, but Ford slips out of the back suplex! Gable trips him up, Ford kicks him up and out but Ziggler tags in! Ziggler gets a foot and drags Ford from his corner again! Ford flips up to his feet and CHOPS Ziggler! Then ENZIGURIS Ziggler down! Fans are fired up and so are the teammates! Hot tags to Roode and Dawkins!

Dawkins dodges Roode, DECKS Otis, then rallies on the Dirty Dawgs! Roode kicks, whips but Dawkins hurdles to back elbow! Gable gets in to get an EXPLODER! Dawkins gives Roode the CASH OUT! Cover, Otis breaks it! Woods runs in into the DISCUS BACK ELBOW! Otis runs at Dawkins but Dawkins dumps him out! Ford FLIES and takes Otis out at the ramp! fans are thunderous but Ziggler SUPERKICKS Ford down! Kofi gets on the steps to LEAP and take out Ziggler! Roode hits Dawkins with a SPINEBUSTER! Roode is furious but he demands Dawkins gets up. Kick and GLORIOUS- HAYMAKER from Dawkins! Dawkins hot tags Kofi!

Kofi tags Woods, scoops Roode, backbreaker to the DOUBLE STOMPS! Cover, New Day & Profits win!

Winners: The New Day & The Street Profits, by pinfall

Fridays have the power of positivity once again, but will the SmackDown Tag Division feel the power?

The fourth and final round for night one is here!

Sonya is a bit shocked that SmackDown took… NAOMI! The Glow is still on Fridays and maybe now Sonya will have no choice but to give her a match. Raw takes… Rey & Dominik Mysterio! The King of Lucha and his son are getting to dial it up on Mondays now! SmackDown’s last pick of the night: Jeff Hardy! The Charismatic Enigma returns to the blue brand, will he return to title form? And Raw’s last pick of the night is NXT’s Austin Theory! The Way’s “son” is moving up in the world as he makes his way to Mondays!

Backstage interview with Jeff Hardy.

Hardy is fired up but Brock Lesnar walks in! Hardy lets The Beast have this time and he asks if this is live. Yes… His apologies, then. Lesnar has a “public announcement” to share. Lesnar thanks his friend, Paul Heyman, because with his help, Lesnar is a free agent. And with that, Lesnar gets to do whatever Lesnar wants to do. Mic drop. Will that mean Lesnar can bring BOTH Raw and SmackDown under Suplex City limits?

The Bloodline sits in the back.

Roman asks Heyman about that “good friend” stuff. Is Heyman still good friends with Lesnar? Heyman looks ready to cry as Roman asks if they are good friends. Heyman says Roman is his Tribal Chief. Well if Heyman was a friend, then he’d be looking out for Roman and his family. Were the Usos drafted to SmackDown tonight? N-No, but they will be on Raw. That’s a strategy that is used in negotiations. It’s all behind the scenes! Heyman vows eh is “The Wiseman” and Roman starts laughing. Yeah, he’s their wise man. Heyman is their wise man when ROMAN says he’s the wise man!!

Roman calms down and Heyman is afraid. Roman tells “The Wiseman” to follow the strategy and stick to the plan. Heyman will go to Raw on Monday and make sure that the Usos are chosen by SmackDown. Does he understand? “Yes, my Tribal Chief. Thank you, my Tribal Chief.” Heyman hurries off, and Roman tells the Usos to go with him Monday. “And I want to make it very clear that you’re to be drafted to SmackDown. And if you’re not, leave him for dead at Raw.” The Bloodline might be spilling blood on the red brand if they don’t go where Roman wants! Will the Wiseman be a dead one after Monday?

Sasha Banks VS Bianca Belair!

The Boss came back with a vengeance as she blew up the EST’s rematch with The Man! Now they’ll revisit the ESPY award winning, history making WrestleMania 37 main event here on Draft night! Who gains some major momentum towards the looming Crown Jewel Triple Threat?

SmackDown returns and naturally, The Man comes around! Big Time Becks wants to watch this one up close and personal as the bell rings. Bianca and Sasha circle, but Sasha doesn’t like fans chanting for the “EST!” They tie up, Bianca pushes Sasha but Sasha turns things around. Bianca powers Sasha to the opposite corner but Sasha pushes her away. Bianca dares Sasha to bring it, they tie up again and Sasha headlocks. Sasha thrashes Bianca around but Bianca endures. Bianca powers up, powers out and hurdles to then roll back. Sasha stops the monkey flip to RANA! Bianca ends up in a corner, Sasha runs and hits a monkey flip!

But Bianca lands on her feet! Bianca tells Sasha to kiss this, then she runs Sasha over! Fans rally for the EST and she makes sure Sasha knows it. Becky complains about being disrespected while Bianca bumps Sasha off buckles. Then off more buckles! Bianca drags Sasha up to scoop and say, “I am the E! S!” But Sasha slips out, waistlocks, but Bianca switches. Sasha bucks Bianca then runs in, to another scoop! Bianca trophy lifts Sasha then SLAMS her down! Becky says she’s strong, too. Bianca runs into the corner but Sasha stops her with DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Sasha reels Bianca in, but no backstabber as Bianca stays up!

Bianca spins Sasha around to a torture rack! KISS OF- NO! Sasha lands on her feet to KNEE back! But Bianca returns to CLOBBER Sasha with that forearm! The Boss bails out and The Man is a bit nervous now. Becky holds up her belt to reestablish confidence as SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns and Bianca RAMS Sasha into a corner to fight out of a sleeper! Bianca gets free then RAMS a shoulder into Sasha! Becky scowls as Bianca puts Sasha up top. Bianca climbs up to join Sasha but Sasha fights back. Sasha shoves but Bianca flips to her feet! Sasha still hits a METEORA! Cover, TWO! Sasha can’t believe it but Bianca survives. Bianca gest up in the corner but Sasha fires off haymakers! Sasha lets off, goes up and tornado but Bianca shoves her away! Sasha runs in, Bianca turns wheelbarrow into GlamEST SLAM! Cover, TWO!! Now Bianca is surprised as Becky gets mad at Michael Cole for bringing up Triple Threat rules.

Bianca bumps Sasha off buckles, stomps a mudhole into her, then drags her back up. Bianca TOSSES Sasha across the way! Bianca runs in but Sasha dodges! Bianca elbows back, Sasha returns but Bianca spins her to a suplex! Bianca holds Sasha up and SLAMS her down at 10! Then kips up to handspring and MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Bianca drags Sasha up, Sasha SLAPS her! Then SLAPS her again! Sasha runs to double knee! And double knee again, only for Bianca to power up! But Sasha hits more DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! Sasha goes up and reels Bianca in, tornado, but Bianca stalls it, only for Sasha to still hit the DDT! Cover, TWO!!

Sasha is frustrated but Becky admits they’re WrestleMania main eventers. But Becky did that first! Sasha stomps Bianca around, goes to a corner and climbs up to FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Sasha is losing her cool as Bianca is still in this! Fans rally for Bianca but Sasha drags her up by her hair. Sasha runs and rolls but into an ALLEY-OOP! Cover, TWO! Sasha bails out but Bianca goes out after her. Bianca gets Sasha up to torture rack! Sasha gets inside and KNEES Bianca back! Bianca holds on, Sasha runs and slides but Bianca flips out of the bomb! Becky is there and they argue, but Sasha runs in! Bianca SLAMS Sasha into the barriers!

Bianca drags Sasha back up and tells Becky to give the ring space. But the ref is busy and Becky holds Bianca’s hair! Sasha runs in, sunset to a jackknife, Sasha wins!!

Winner: Sasha Banks, by pinfall

Then Charlotte Flair runs in!? She BOOTS Sasha down, then BOOTS Bianca down! Or rather, heels, as she did those still wearing her shoes. The Raw AND SmackDown Women’s Champions look at each other as they hold up their belts, but who will be the one champion to rule them all?

My Thoughts:

Even with the WWE Draft being put upon us by corporate network whining and complaining, and therefore some questionable choices made in that draft, still a great night for SmackDown. As we saw to end the night, we got a great main event out of Sasha VS Bianca, even with Becky having her part to play towards their Triple Threat. Then Charlotte has actions that speak louder than words, since she didn’t say that much earlier in her promo, and there is a lot of intrigue to how the RawDown Women’s Division changes.

One semi-boring way would be to copy the tag title trade from last year. That is to say, Bianca going to Raw means she’ll win back the SmackDown Women’s Championship, she and Charlotte trade, everything goes as is. Another way WWE would totally do is unify the belts at Survivor Series. Either way, I’m surprised the Four Horsewomen are all on the same brand. Even with Bayley injured, she’s still “signed” to SmackDown, but maybe Bayley will move over so her return can be against Bianca on Raw. A part of me hopes that Survivor Series sets up Four Horsewomen against four others, though, since we never got NXT Four Horsewomen VS MMA Four Horsewomen.

In other Women’s Division news, Vince is again dragging the midcard back to the Divas Era. Also, what is it with medical face wear and Vince right now? Sheamus mask, Mandy mask (for a week) and now Mella mask. Mella doesn’t even have her rematch with Liv, it’s all just to plug the mask, which could’ve been done as a backstage promo. At least there was passive aggressive Sonya not happy about Fox and SmackDown keeping Naomi. At least we know the King of the Ring and the Queen’s Crown (aka Queen of the Ring) are starting next week and heading for Crown Jewel. I would think none of the champions are winning, so cross all of them off right now.

Okay, time to criticize other picks. Drew McIntyre moving over seems a waste with how he called out Big E on Raw. Yes, he can get a great feud out of Roman Reigns after Crown Jewel, but I was hoping for McIntyre VS Big E at some point. Or even another shot at Priest for the US Championship and possibly the Grand Slam. Maybe Raw announces the midcard champions are traded and such things still happen, but I feel like WWE won’t care about that. New Day being split up again by putting Kofi & Woods on SmackDown while Big E stays on Raw is Vince, USA and Fox being morons. Still got a great 8 Man Tag from New Day, Profits, Dawgs & Alpha Academy, but c’mon! We just got New Day in full back! And now we only get it for another three weeks? That’s crap.

Kevin VS Corbin was an alright match but of course “Madcap” Moss helps Corbin win that. Corbin and Moss being drafted together establishes already that they’re a tag team, so I expect those guys to be feuding with New Day as soon as this Kevin Owens feud is done. And with Rey & Dom going to Raw, is Sami free to team with Kevin after all? Can we get Kevin & Sami as tag champions already so Kevin gets his Grand Slam? I really feel that helps put all this “Are they gonna go to AEW?” stuff to rest if they can finally do something of importance.

Edge going to Raw is fine, the three weeks and Crown Jewel is the countdown for one last Edge VS Rollins and then that’s it. Rollins going to the Copeland house was wild, as was that custom “Seth Rollins print” jacket. Their blow-off needs to be a No DQ style, like Last Man Standing or even Hardcore to bring back memories of when Edge feuded with Mick Foley.

And we got a lot of great stuff out of the growing Lesnar-Heyman-Roman triangle. Lesnar continues to turn Roman against Heyman just by claiming this or that, and of course Lesnar was going to be a free agent since it doesn’t matter where he goes, he won’t be there full time. Roman might even be pushing Heyman back to Lesnar’s side by wanting him to do his job or be assaulted on Raw. But I would think Usos stay on SmackDown anyway as the champions and because there’s still a lot of Bloodline story potential. It’d be another dumb move if they got split up just as fans started to like this stuff, kinda like keeping New Day apart two years running.

My Score: 8.3/10
