Are they going last, because I could see a title switching hands if they are closing. Unless there's a promo or match from the women's division, who haven't been out there again in this second taping, then yeah. probably jumping the gun, but it seems like the “new” era means that they’re using some aspects of NXT where certain divisions and people are used sparingly each week. Then again this was the Christmas taping so I’m probably wrong and just conserved their energy lol

Good lord. The taped Raw gives us pretty safe booking outcomes, while taped Christmas SmackDown gives us a new US Champion, the Shane/Miz thing finally going somewhere, and Mustafa Ali winning.

Sweet! Now hopefully they'll let Rusev make the US Championship relevant again.
I want him and Lana to go the European Champion Al Snow route.

Good lord. The taped Raw gives us pretty safe booking outcomes, while taped Christmas SmackDown gives us a new US Champion, the Shane/Miz thing finally going somewhere, and Mustafa Ali winning. I mean, you look at things on paper, and SmackDown looks like it's in a very fanservice-y state. Bryan is world champion, although he's a heel, he's playing the character very well. Rusev is a champion again, finally getting a bit of reward for getting the Rusev Day stuff over in the last year and a bit. Asuka's the women's champion, getting her dues at last after a rough few months, with Lynch and Flair right at her heels as probably the most credible talents in the company right now. And even though their match pairings are stale, most seem to generally like The Bar as tag champs, and they're finally throwing the other teams into the mix. There's some flaws, sure. Like, it's great that Ali is getting a featured run, but Almas being used as the guy to help heat him up in that process is a bit disappointing. And Joe's still having a rough go of things. But it does look like SmackDown's in a fairly healthy place as we go into its last year on USA before the move to FOX.

They did what RAW Failed to do and why I'm not feeling their direction atm
You wanna make me believe change is happening? DO DIFFERENT.
Tag Team Mania, all the Tag Teams on even ground beating the piss out of one another
The Shane/Miz Storyline going somewhere
Mustafa Ali on the rise
A LEGIT TITLE CHANGE WITH RUSEV!
RAW has done zero of this so far, and they have no excuse with Smackdown having one less hour and the same amount of weeks to provide nice progression and an easy to watch show.
Change doesn't have to be everything different immediately, but there should be a motion to do it and a drive to start getting to that point. So far with Smackdown, I see it, with RAW? It's still really shit.
