Yay, Handsome Rusev to SDL! Hopefully they can give him his proper due.
Seeing Sami Zayn on SDL has made me realize I hate Sami Zayn (the character, that is, not the performer).

Only thing I didn't like is SD losing Miz and New Day and Shining Stars aren't enough for a weak tag division. The biggest lingering issues for me are those and that the best fixes they had for the women's division were stick in a never-was and the person who you can pretty much pin all the huge problems with Raw's women's division over the past two years on. Though at least the Sasha rumors weren't true and those two are finally separated. I can't believe tamina is even there..nothing against her but if more than one soul on this planet over the past year has said "man, i wish they would bring tamina back" i'd be shocked. So many other women from nxt or the independents would be better for that spot. It honestly surprised me there was actually serious consideration for bringing sasha over and keeping her and charlotte together. Separating them was one of the biggest no brainers ever.

I kind of forgot she existed and was a bit surprised by it. I wonder if they did it purely for that setup where Shane trolled the audience with all the talk about a second generation competitor and whatnot. Either way, she's another body in the division which they needed.

Not to mention, the Sasha heel turn they've been blatantly building to, only for that to go nowhere would be a giant waste.

I love Sami Zayn as a performer, but that wasn't a good promo.
I've been hearing his episode of Talk is Jericho and also one Kevin Owens did, and apparently the first impression Zayn gives is of being annoying. He doesn't mean to but I think he can rub off people the wrong way. Hope it doesn't hurt him politically on the future.

Both KO and Cesaro have said as such that Sami does not mean to come across that way but that is just the way he is. I believe KO said some guys did not like it and he understands it but they also got to consider Sami has been wrestling for a long time and is not some new kid on the block. I think Cesaro said they were doing a house show match and Sami did not tag him in and he just stood on the apron. As I have been saying for a while with his interactions with Mick and recently Angle, his "pestering" character seems to be a rib on him.

Oh yes he has been booking as a pest the last month or maybe even more. In nxt he was booked as a star, now not so much. It's got to be a rib. I would pay anything to watch Zayn interrupting Vince and trying to change a match or an angle.

Sami in NXT was God Tier because he started from the bottom and became the heart and soul of the show but he can not become that on the main show. As a performer he still gets me invested in his matches but he needs something more imo. However, based upon his fan connection, fans would be thrilled if he became WWE champion in one of those I can not believe it moments. It would seem with him on SD along with AJ and possibly KO, he will get his time to shine with top personalities.

Orton supposedly likes him. He said when he tore his shoulder against Cena, Orton being the master of shoulder injuries was diagnosing his injury and correctly guessed he would be out at least 6 months. I am pretty sure Cena will like him too and probably has his respect after finishing that match with his shoulder the way it was If anything they will not tolerate BS in the ring(especially Orton) but Sami is so good in the ring that will not be a problem. Orton does not mind working with young guys and I am sure KO has given Sami on how Cena functions. I believe said on Jericho podcast that him and Cena would sit there and watch the whole show even when their segment was done.

All this talk of Zayn and Orton has me wondering if it's possible to squeeze an RKO outta Blue Thunder Bomb, or maybe the image of a attempt punt being switched into a Helluva kick.
Fun times ahead.

So NXT loses Nakamura, Revival, Tye, Drifter (probably), maybe Almas soon as well (DIY, Ember and Asuka can't be far behind), and it's "RIP SDL"??

I still want my German Suplex into an RKO(which will never happen) Orton would have to be Spiderman to get the Blue Thunder bomb into an RKO but it can be done with the right timing and the Punt kick into a Blue Thunder Bomb or Helluva Kick can def happen

RIP SmackDown Live.
New Day are on the show, Jinder is #1 contender, Charlotte will be a 57 time champion by the end of the year, & Mojo is a top Babyface.
I was right.

Jinder is getting a filler feud the same way Titus randomly got an IC shot like 2-3? years ago. If he makes good of his oppurtunity maybe he will get midcard status more then likely he will go back to jobber,and Mojo seems more like he is being built for midcard status . And with Charlotte they are building for Natalya,Tamina and Carmella to cost Charlotte the title next week and keep her distracted for a few months. I am guessing when she does win the title later in the year she wont swap it back and forth with anyone because they want her vs Asuka at the next WM.

Jinder is basically getting the old Hardcore Holly push. Only Holly had more of a reason to get a title shot against Brock... but still. Hell next week we could have Jinder lose his title shot somehow.

That or Jinder does his usual "Evil Foreigner" schtick, saying that America doesn't appreciate people from other lands, and then... {Spoiler}
