Wait, so Cena just came out, asked for a title shot, was refused, and left? That seems like a waste.

Few things of note I hope Axel and Dallas losing doesn't mean they are immediately giving up on this faction. It is a C Show so it might not mean anything in the long run. In the end RAW and Smackdown matter most for these guys Its amazing how much Sin Cara sucks because ever since Kalitso has been getting more and more elevated. Hell give HIM the US Title at this point... Not keen on New Day and Miz losing to four random faces. Love how Ziggler is the last one standing a day after losing to Slater... I'm not really expecting muc from this new group. It's not like they were going to go full Shield and run roughshod over all the top guys. The whole reason they're together to begin with is because they're a bunch of schmucks. I don't really want the Social Outcasts to "move up" because I'm more interested in a total resurgence of the lower midcard as a whole. There's no "Sin Cara sucks" about it. Sin Cara was never holding Kalisto back because The whole point of the Lucha Dragons was to get Kalisto over. Also Ziggler should be the last man standing. Dudes gotta get his heat back. Just because he had a flukey loss to Slater didn't mean he was going be shifted permanently in the lower card.

It sounds like SmackDown on USA is the same unwatchable dreck as it was on SyFy.

Their big debut, with a sort of stacked card, ends with a double count out? What the hell Road Dogg?

Just because he had a flukey loss to Slater didn't mean he was going be shifted permanently in the lower card. I didn't expect Social Outcasts to be World Beaters, but I think what they really need is to go over some top talent to establish that they CAN win with their new group. I hope on RAW we start getting this more. Feed them Ryder, Truth, Goldust, Sandow, Darren Young if he still exists, even Mark Henry since his Jobs been going over talent of late. Get them built up and showcase some midcard/lowcard guys, it's not that hard.
I would like the end game for them to get a title though, a US Title Style open challenge with Unpredictability on both sides. Which of the four will defend the belt, and who will challenge them??
Another option would be facing the New Day who essentially don't have a tag title contender with the Usos distracted with Pseudo League of Nations shit, and the Lucha Dragons down, and I think New Day vs Social Outcasts has comedy gold written all over it. I don't know, I see a ton of promise with these lovable goons, and I hope that it's realized.

By the way the guy already had his US Title Rematch when he came back so he shouldn't get another one any way.

I like the sentiment behind ADR vs. Kalisto but for the love of God stop having non-title matches and stop jobbing champions out in non-title matches. Champions lose on a weekly basis.

He had the match won, and then the League of Nations interfered getting Bertie disqualified. Cena should get another shot.

"I heard the first Smackdown moving to USA was gonna create a lot of buzz." "I think you're right. It definitely looks like a B show to me!"

I thought for sure they'd have a title....ANY title...change hands to make this feel like a big deal, but this is just a house show they're airing on USA. Really disappointed.

WWE seems to view Smackdown in a self-fulfilling vortex of mediocrity. They want Smackdown to seem like a big deal but do not view it as a big enough deal to have things happen on the show in order to make it a big deal.

It should be a strap match been way to long since we had a good strap match. I'd like to see a strap match in the WWE that did not follow the WWE format for strap matches where it always ends with one guy touching a turnbuckle while being dragged by another guy who is touching turnbuckles, and the dragged guy gets into a struggle with his opponent before being launched into that final turnbuckle. But that'll never happen. Anyway, THIS is the SmackDown they were using as part of the USA debut? Jezum Crow, they didn't even try!

And when they do do something big, everyone complains that it was done on Smackdown.
