This ends with Sami turning heel mark my words. Owens is going to bring it out of him.

There's no way they waste Sami on f***ing Karrion Kross lol. That guy is as enhancement talent as it gets.
 
What the HELL was the deal with this broadcast? Glitched out so bad throughout the whole show and by the end of the night it was nearly seizure inducing


Ok glad it wasn't just me, I tuned in about halfway or 2/3 in and it was very choppy, it was my first time watching since the netflix move so I wasn't sure if my internet was just crapping the bed or if it was them
 
So the Transfer window is closed and while I won't say the gutted SD because I don't think they did I do think they severly weakened SD.

RAW got

Logan Pual
Bayley
AJ Styles
Austin Theory
Grayson Waller

SD Got

Zelina Vega
The Miz
Braun
Stroman
The Wayatt Sicks

RAW now has

CM Punk
Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns? based on what happened at the Rumble
Gunther
Jey
Logan Paul
AJ Styles
Bron Breaker
Sami Zayn
Sheamus
Mcntyre
Kevin Owens?

Rea Ripley
Bayley
Becky Lynch
Liv
Morgan
Iyo Sky
Charlotte?

Even if Charlotte goes to SD I'm not convinced she is because being on the same brand as her ex Husband could be an issue.

But even if she does SD feels like it's got a severe lack of Star Power..

RAW feels loaded.
 
KO vs. Sami at Mania would kinda make you wonder what the plan is for Randy.

You'd figure they're not leaving him off the card if he's healthy, but he'd look like a clown if he didn't come back for Kevin.
 
Charlotte being overwhelmed by the boos is sad to see on a human level... but what did she expect?

Her character, for her entire career, has been about how much better than everybody she is. She literally calls herself "the Queen". She was always pushed hard and never had to overcome anything real. She never got over organically. People hate her because she is being shoved down their throats.

Even worse, the vignette for her return EMPHASIZED that arrogant/better than you side of her character. They did not show her training and struggling after an injury. They showed her enjoying luxury. THEN they booked her to win the Rumble.

So, you present someone as an arrogant better-than-everybody type, you can her a big win on her return when no one wanted to see it and... you expect her to have sympathy as a babyface? That's pretty f***ing stupid.

I understand that the first part of the promo was meant to be "out of character" in a way, but Charlotte is not someone people connect with on that level. Trying it was very dumb of her.

I think the plan is KO vs Randy at Mania. Sami vs KO in Toronto

Not sure what Sami does though. Sami vs Kross would be lame (seeds planted last night).

Or maybe Cena vs Orton at Mania, but it would be so weird to have Orton return and not immediately go after Kevin, but you don't keep Orton off the Mania card.

A lot of Charlotte's career has been her pretending to be a babyface while getting booed, and she has typically struggled to get through promos when the crowd shits on her.

She's a lot like Sasha in that they always seem to try to slam her over as a babyface even though her gimmick is heelish.

Although to her credit, Charlotte seems like a somewhat likeable human being in real life, other than coming off like a politicker. Sasha just seems to be the arrogant douchebag she plays on TV.

I love (read: it's hilariously insincere) how she casually works "self-made" into all of her mic work. She should be an enhancement talent for the babyfaces to go over, nothing more.
