    Nikki Cross is like that girl who is friendly to the unpopular kids

    Emo Bayley and Sasha are bitches

    No Nikki Cross is the nice girl who is just nice. EMO Bayley is all good from me, but I'll never be a sasha banks fan as she seems fake as a person.

    Bayley is awful at promos, heel or face.

    Miz schooled the two of them.

    What do people think about Mandy Rose ? I think Mandy will be remembered as a very good wrestler at the end of the day. She has power that others don't have.

    She has a nice jumping knee and that's it, in my opinion. Nothing special apart from being super hot.

    Didn't think there could be a worse wrestling name than Shorty Gable until he christened himself Shorty G. Awful stuff.

    Is Bayley's gimmick now that she overdoes it on the makeup & eyeliner then gets upset when she notices it afterwards

    Bray Wyatt/Fiend is advertised for all the Raws in November and its speculated some sort of trade with someone and he will be part of the Raw roster ???

    Think he would suite raw better imo

    Hopefully that means he wins the title at Crown Jewel. But from what I read FOX really wanted Bray Wyatt on their show.

    You’d think Lesnar vs. The Fiend would be on the cards to headline Mania at this stage. I can’t think of a bigger match myself, it’d be a lot more interesting than most main events in the last decade.

    I really hope he’s kept away from any titles until then. This character has immense potential if people can move on from the HIAC debacle.

    Stupid way they did the main event entrances. Daniel Bryan, followed by his opponents and then his partner. I know they did it to have Bryan's entrance before the break and then wanting to announce the Team Hogan captain.

    Hope Miz gets to win the IC title again and make it better.

    Was trying to think who'll take the title from Bayley. I doubt it'll be Nikki this time. With Charlotte and Becky on Raw and too soon to turn Sasha, it could be Alexa or Nikki later.

    I don’t think it will happen but Sasha/ baylet at mania with bayley as the heel is what I would like

    Smackdown down to 2.44 million viewers.

    First week: 3.87 million
    Second week: 2.9 million
    Third week: 2.44 million

    Dropping like a stone although I presume it will level out a bit now.

    I'd say Vince is probably (rightly or wrongly) justified in giving Eric Bischoff the boot... Until they drop further, and it'll Bruce Prichard in the firing line.

    Rinse and repeat..

    From reports it seems Eric got the boot because he wasn't putting in enough effort towards the job.

    It was still the biggest ratings winner on Friday night in the States for the 18-49 age range that the advertisers target in the US.


    The CBS shows all drew 3 times the viewers but that age 50+ demo isn't considered a hit with advertisers as much.

    ABC & NBC also drew more viewers from the 50+ age demo.

    Any Smackdown roster in Australia as well or are they back by now?

    Was thinking about Boschoff's firing and the couple episodes of the new Smackdown probably had little to do with him. The premiere and the draft.

    Nothing much is advertised. Nikki/Mandy, New Day/RooDolph and a Brock/Cain face off.

    Although according to Fox's insufferable twitter (I despise those accounts who are always trying to cool with memes) that equals "a stacked Smackdown!"

    I don't know when I last watched Smackdown as at aired 4 weeks in a row ( I've sky + it for years and watched it after the fact) but it being live on Fridays does help. I'd say it might be a by the numbers show as a good lot of the roster were in Australia during the week and left Oz wednesday afternoon and I don't know where Smackdown is from tonight but it could be some trip.
