    We can be a fickle bunch really.

    Becky was the best thing since sliced bread a few weeks but even though I still like her, I really want Asuka to win at TLC.

    Pretty much no reaction from the crowd good or bad to DB also they need to shorten his time on the mic he is totally useless.

    I actually enjoyed that promo. Much better than last week. It's a testament to Bryan's talent that he can do slimey cretin so effectively given he's so good as babyface.

    Smackdown bombed in the ratings too. Went under 2 million and worst in over 2 years.

    I reckon Asuka wins, without pinning either Becky or Charlotte, giving Becky and/or Charlotte the chance to move towards Ronda on Raw.

    Becky vs Ronda and a Charlotte vs Asuka rematch from last years mania but this time Asuka as the champ I'd guess in such a scenario. Becky to win the rumble.

    Do you want Asuka to win so that Becky can win the Rumble and get that main event match against Rousey?

    That's my logic for wanting Asuka to win anyway, killing 3 birds with one stone really in rebuilding Asuka, giving Becky an out, and you can have Charlotte go even more demented since someone else beat Becky

    Not really although that would be a cool by-product of it if that happened.

    I just think Asuka is very good and should get a title reign.

    True that and as we see with Becky, months or years of poor booking can be turned around if things are just done right so we could see the Asuka we thought we'd get after NXT yet

    Becky kicking ass again
    Charlotte calling me out on TV and online for “missing time.” Again, The Man will just provide the truth in the face of lies.

    Saucy, by today's standards at least.

    They're apparently best friends so they must be having good craic behind the scenes with this.

    Yeah I’d say they must be, coming up with new ways to slate one another. Becky is destroying her though.

    Trialling Ali for the main shows? They're in need of faces and I think he's bigger than Bryan so he definitely won't look out of place.

    Ali looks like a mix between Rollins and Reigns

    Decent match though,the new Daniel Bryan is a prick. He won't be doing any charity things I'd say

    Cool seeing Asuka beating the snot out of Charlotte and Becky with the kendo stick although it probably means she hasn't a prayer on Sunday.

    Paige and Shane should be happy the 2 guys only charged 5000 each. After how Shane fought they could've been paying a lot more in damages.

    That womens match was a load of crap. Beckys momentum has been killed. Why dont they let becky or charlotte join the announcers during the match, instead of sitting there at ringside like plebs?

    They should obv put Niki Cross on SD with Sanity and actually do something with them

    Lacey Evans- and EC3- SD

    Heavy Machinery could so well on Raw vs AOP/Revival etc

    Lars Sullivan- Raw with the other monsters

    Unlike Raw, Smackdown actually did feel like they had freshened it up. Mind, I don't think Smackdown needed it nearly as badly as Raw though.

    Harsh on Paige to lose the GM position, and I don't see why they couldn't keep her there. She has easily been the best Face GM they've had for...well, possibly ever.

    Also, the women's segment was rough cause they booked Asuka poorly; she's not got the mic skills to stand up to Becky and Charlotte so when Becky called her a paper champion unopposed, it made her look weak. Vince did nothing but bury the others either.

    The positve, though, was that Mustafi Ali had a massive rocket strapped to him. The tag division has gotten a boost too. There's genuinely good, fresh midcard feuds.
