I'm confused, is Lana a stripper now? That's what her coming soon video seems like.

Raw needs to give up more than just Charlotte. The women's division on SDL took a massive hit losing both Mickie James who can still go and Alexa Bliss who is easily the best talker in the entire women's division.

Good for Charlotte marks, but for viewers, hell,.

I don't know, I feel like it was a pretty even trade overall. If nothing else, both rosters feel somewhat fresh and it does feel like the start of a new season.

Personally I'm still on the side that SmackDown got a raw deal, but it definitely could've been worse than it was and they can work with what they've got. Rusev helped a lot, I'd probably be a lot more negative on this if not for him.

I think this was a good set of trades both ways. SDL took the bigger hit with Miz but Owens on TS is going to be great. Also I see TS being a good platform for New Day to freshen up.

You're supposed to stick to the narrative. (I think Smackdown did a little better than Raw.) It's all a question of preference. Rusev, Lana, Charlotte, and New Day really do nothing for me, and I've seen enough of Owens vs. Zayn for a lifetime.

I'm dissapointed that SD didn't address there very weak tag division. But the whole show already feels incredibly fresh with all the new talent like Nakamura and Dillinger and even Aiden English bringing back his singing gimmick for a solo run.
I'm also confused but intrigued and aroused by this new Lana gimmick. Rusev is finally free from The Big Dogs yard and may have a resurgence. Owens is finally away from the toxic Universal Title and Authority and I'm really digging his new look. Zayn is finally away from Stephanie McMahon. I really like how Smackdown has a perfect blend of Youth with Cena and Orton in the mix.

SDL dumps
Apollo Snooze,Bore Wyatt,Hawkins,Kalisto,
SDL gives up Miz and Ambrose
SDL Gains New Day Sami Jericho or KO Ru Ru
SD essentially gave us 2 prime assets(Miz,Ambrose) to gain 6 prime assets(New Day,Sami,Ru Ru, and KO or Jericho)
Getting 6 useful assets and giving up only 2 seems like SD got the better of the draft
Hell even the castaways Jindel and Shining Stars imo are quality jobbers

Biggest shock to me coming out of ths is SDL not getting Gallows & Anderson and RAW having all three Shield boys.

The men's and tag scenes are improved on SmackDown - however despite Charlotte rocking up, RAW got the better end of the women's trades. Tamina is in no way a good replacement for what Mickie James brings.

Tamina is in no way a good replacement for what Mickie James brings. Agree with you about that but Raw is a 3 hour show and should have the bigger division. As it stands now Smackdown still has 5 women with defined roles (Charlotte,Becky,Naomi,Carmella,Natalya)+it looks like an attempt at some Lana storyline so SDL could afford to lose someone . Bayley/Sasha on the other hand are in deperate need of opponents besides the green Dana and Nia.

I'm dissapointed that SD didn't address there very weak tag division.. Yeah, basically they replaced the VAudevillains with Primo and Epico. but they still only have 2 face tag teams at the moment with AA and New Day.

Yeah unless they are planning on pulling a Sheamus and Cesaro situation I got nothing.

In terms of the current teams, I think Breezango may end up babyface before long to get the three faces v three heels balance. They'd probably be the easiest team to turn from the heel side.
