Hulk Hogan would win the World Championship. His daughter, Brooke, could win the women's title. silly. lol

Charlotte has been a crowd favorite since NXT, and has had a hard time getting heat. Her 'Queen' gimmick actually seems to be working, especially when she's demeaning other favorites like Sasha and Bailey.

Charlotte does make a good heel. It is easy to boo her.

Better seat for Smackdown tonight, but the show was crap. Lots of hype for next week's 900th episode and Survivor Series, fuck all wrestling.

Only decent match was a post-show dark match between Styles and Ambrose.

Crowd was tame, don't expect a repeat of Raw. Lots of families where as Raw felt like an ICW crowd. No songs tonight.

Does not sound very good, but should be way better than watching election results on every other channel. lol

A WWE Hall of Famer is now President of the United States of America.

I eagerly await President Flair and President Sheik.

Did you know that Hulk Hogan offered to run with President Trump at one point? He could of been the Vice President.

So, when they announced the IC title was going up for grabs at survivor series, I couldn't help but think it was a filler match, no way in hell it's changing brands. But then they mentioned the ENTIRE cruiserweight division is basically on the line too, my interest got peaked.

IC title on RAW would give more stuff for the midcard to fill that 3 hours with, and the cruiserweights would probably be more at home on smackdown. I still don't think either one is changing brands, but it does pique one's interest at the possibilities.

I think Nikki Cross is my favourite thing in wrestling at the minute. She's ace. Best part of Sanity, totally overshadowing Eric Young.

They have enough crusierweights to have some on both shows. Going from one match on RAW to a second on Smackdown might help ratings.

Not sure if it would actually happen, but could be interesting.

Also, does Shane-o-mac joining Smackdown mean they will win or lose? Whenever, a McMahon is involved it means something special will happen.

Odds are Roman is going to be US champ for a while, and they still have him positioned as a top-card guy, so the IC title is almost necessary to give RAW's midcard guys something to do. The Smackdown guys seem to be doing okay jut putting on good matches people actually want to see, and have WAY less time and roster bloat to fill.

Also, does Shane-o-mac joining Smackdown mean they will win or lose? Whenever, a McMahon is involved it means something special will happen.

Yeah, the McMahons don't usually get in the ring unless it's to create or further a story. It doesn't REALLY matter what team wins, the big event will definitely be centered on Shane. Could be something as simple as Steph doing a run-in after Shane, alone, survives all but one Raw superstar. It's definitely a setup for some kind of run-in ending though. James Ellseworth is going to have some role to play too. HOPEFULLY it's just something comedic and he's done for the night.

I'm predicting that to keep some sort of balance going into that match, the RAW women will have already won their match, and the SmackDown tag teams win theirs.

They always try to maintain RAW as the flagship show, I could see Shane get screwed by somebody. Maybe HHH, he hasn't done anything since helping Owens win the title. If Triple H, screws Shane there will be drama and heat.

I am already over Ellsworth. I have no desire to see him in the ring or anymore matches.

I guess that makes sense. RAW 2-1 over Smackdown.

My predictions for Survivor Series

Brock Lesnar

Team Raw's men

Team Raw's women

Team Smackdown tag teams

The Miz (Intercontinental title match)

The Brian Kendrick (Cruiserweight title match)

Most important match will be The Brian Kendrick keeping his belt.

Forget Survivor Series, it's NXT Toronto tonight, and DIY vs The Revival has every chance of being a MOTY contender. 2 out of 3 falls. Going to he fucking awesome.

Joe vs Nakamura II and Roode vs Dillinger should be good too. Asuka vs Mickie James could go either way, as could Authors of Pain vs TM61.

If The Brian Kendrick teams up with Chris Jericho, they could talk some major trash. Kevin Owens would also help. Having those two belts would make them a dangerous stable.

He was good on TNA, and is doing just as well in NXT.

This kinda shocked me. I was convinced that he was going to lose yesterday and then quickly make a debut on the main roster. I'm guessing they want to get more mileage out of him in NXT then. I can't see him coming up before Wrestlemania now.

Given the timings, I reckon they'll wrap up the feud with Nakamura's rematch just in time for a Rumble debut for him. Think they see more money in him being on the main roster than they do Joe.

Well i only got 4 out of 6 predictions correct the only ones that i predicted correctly was Team SD's men, Team Raw's Women, Team Raw's tag teams and, The Miz winning.

Well, I can honestly say I never expected Brock v Goldberg to be a squash match, but major props to Brock for doing the job. There's no way Goldberg had it in him to put on a proper match with such little prep time. He commented how his body was broken after just a little action on Raw. He came out looking almost as good as he did in his prime, got the big pop and got an oldschool goldberg squash win. It was actually well booked for what it was, and I am pretty impressed Brock went along with it.

Call me a butthurt fan, but I'm kinda miffed at how it all went down. Brock got the rub from breaking Undertaker's undefeated Wrestlemania streak and he used it to put over...49 year old Bill Goldberg? The Hell? I'd have understood if they had used it to launch Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 31, but what's the benefit of having it end with a squash match here to an old man who's not gonna ever return to a full-time schedule?

I get this point 100%, I don't see the value in using Brocks first loss since he conquered the Streak being to Goldberg, it would have catapulted a younger guy further in their career and done wonders for getting them over.

From the other standpoint, this does set up one hell of a feud for them to culminate at the Royal Rumble, except I don't see how they work a title into the picture to sweeten the pot.

It feels like they definitely want a rematch. If you really pay attention to how it was booked, it was actually similar to Brock's UFC debut. He started really aggressive, then he took his eye off Golberg for one second and it cost him. This wasn't exactly Goldberg dominating Brock through a hard fought war of titans, it was Brock made one big mistake and it cost him.

Like I said before, Goldberg wasn't in shape for a proper, long match last night. The match literally was set up because of that one ESPN interview, it was never part of the original plan. But given enough time to get in ring shape, the rematch could end up a lot more interesting. In a rematch, Brock won't be as cocky.

Leading up to the rematch, Brock may feel he has something to prove too. He's grown complacent with his spot at the top of the food chain. Now he's not the biggest monster in the WWE anymore, and he's going to leave a trail of bodies in his wake as he reclaims that spot. With Heyman hyping this type of approach, we could actually see the best version of Brock.

This loss also gives Brock a goal for however long it takes to get a rematch. They won't need to put him in the title scene at all to keep him interesting. Other superstars might see weakness in him and want to make a name for themselves at his expense now that he's shown weakness. He's pretty much the new undertaker, where losses will only count at Mania now.

The entire thing seemed rushed and could of been handled better. We will see if the do any damage control or how they try to explain it tonight on RAW. Maybe some rematches tonight? They love doing rematches the next night after a PPV.

Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens just punked out Reigns in the middle of Toronto. There friendship angle is the best thing on RAW, probably the best thing in WWE.

It was stupid that they had that match twice in one episode of RAW. Not counting all the times they have fought before. They really need to find new divas to fight for the title.

Chris Jericho being attacked by Seth in the parking lot was not needed, and served no point.

Completely predictable show beyond the Women's title match, but I still really enjoyed it. AJ Styles is such a talented performer in everything that he does and is totally carrying Smackdown on his back. He's easily been the best thing in this company for this year. I'll be curious what he does with more interaction with Ellsworth.

Sometimes you have to do the predictable thing if it's the right thing. SD! is building still. This show moved a few pieces into different places and I think it comes out stronger for it.

Absolutely. He is the franchise player right now. Just further proof how badly TNA dropped the ball by never properly utilizing him when they could afford him.

I think they're moving away from that....seems like Ellsworth is going to have to pay the price for what he did to Ambrose. Really loved the interaction between those guys on Tuesday's show.

RAW was okay this week, except that Chris Jericho lost to Reigns again. Getting tired of seeing Jericho have to eat spears and Pedigrees every week. The only way they could make it up to him, would be to let him win a title soon. Also, getting bored with The New Day. When the lose the tag titles, they need to stay with out them for a long time.

Jericho won't be getting any notable title runs. He has a Fozzy tour coming up and will be taking time off for that. His inevitable feud with KO will probably be the exclamation point on his current run.

I'm anticipating New Day will drop the titles once they have that world record title run behind them. I think WWE wants to look super progressive by having an African-American team holding that record more than they want to keep the tag division fresh and exciting.

When New Day inevitable breaks up, who do you guys think the heel is going to be? I think woods has a good solo heel run in him. And what more fitting way to kill the team then bashing Big E over the head with Francesca II. That would not only break up the team, but destroy one of their biggest symbols at the same time.

Jericho is one of the most entertaining stars they have in the ring and on the mic. He can rest up on his tour, and come back for more action.

It will be a nice breath of fresh air once they finally lose. Not sure which team will get the honor of defeating them.

Woods and Big E could have a series of matches against each other. That would be worth watching. The trumpet has to go, and the unicorn horns as well.
