I can absolutely see Seth having that Ambrose WM match and then slide over to SDL. As for Styles idk but the others? Absolutely. Maybe Corbin flips over too who knows. I had Seth/Ambrose penciled in at Mania but a part of me now think they drag that out since there hasn't really been any telltale signs as far as an impending feud between the two tho we are just now hitting the eve of Mania season If I had to guess others who's leaving during the draft, Revival could use a fresh start on Smackdown after an injury filled year, Becky Lynch to Raw, Sasha Banks to Smackdown, Corbin to Raw, Gallows and Anderson to SD and maybe even Finn who could def use SD as his platform In the end Finn and Seth would be a fair trade off for AJ who's been the lynchpin on Smackdown. This seems like a year where SD will get a bunch of pieces and lose the big star which works well for them because they do better with depth as opposed to being top heavy That's what I think. I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Shield/Usos at WM for an inter-brand match. Who knows really. Yeah I can see The Club (all tree of em) heading to SDL and then we can see how that works out. I see Becky and Sasha trading and hell I wouldn't be surprised to see Miz head back down to SDL.

Jinder's so boring that even his biggest supporters can't keep on topic.
IMHO the guy just doesn't cut it in 2017. I think he's an overall bottom 5 tier worker on the main roster. There's so much talent around right now, so what does Mahal offer that makes him valuable in any sense? The India stuff flopped, and he wasn't even the most popular guy in the match he had there. I sincerely hope this is all over, because nothing good came out of it.

people really need to stop saying "Oh he's got presence" or "he carries himself like a champion" or whatever BS buzzwords his apologists keep bloviating. the fans just don't care about the dude and never did so whatever hypothetical intangible you claim is there just doesn't exist, or if it does, it doesn't matter at all.

He's literally starting to deflate now, so I think someone poked a hole in him, he's done.

The whole "He's has presence" aspect is basically code for "The dude has a crazy physique from taking his 'vitamins.'" I do think he'll wind up in the US division before long. As far as Corbin goes, please no. Of all the guys they could keep putting against AJ Corbin is easily the worst. Styles is a miracle worker but not even he has gotten anything decent out of Corbin and they've wrestled about 5 times on TV or PPV this year.

SD is so bereft of top heels I'm not sure who exactly will challenge at the Rumble. I might actually go with Kevin Owens since he is basically the top heel on SD as it is and the whole Styles feud never really had a coherent finish to it. I don't think Jinder will be entirely buried though. If they follow the JBL playbook he'll be reduced to the U.S. title for a while. He actually makes more sense with that belt than the WWE title. The point is that AJ Styles needs to work with a heel who has some credibility for the Royal Rumble Smackdown world title match. Jinder Mahal had no credibility prior before becoming the world champion and still doesn't. Overall, the Jinder push was a bust.

I think if you pushed Jinder at this point, all that damned bacne would shoot blood all over the place.

Admittedly I can kind of see the point when people bring that up since he is very good at carrying himself like he takes this shit seriously. He came out looking just as intent and focused for losing the belt to AJ as he did for all the times he retained it and his entrance does have this air about it like a boss fight is about to go down. Granted that means little to me because, yeah, he's way better at avoiding tells on a match's result than Sasha and he knows how to make it feel like he really cares about what's going on, but that does nothing to address his awful gimmick, his boring rambling promos, and how terrible in the ring he is.

Dear Santa
I've been a good boy this year honest. No more Jinder in the main event. Please stop the pain.

Jinder reminds me of the time Holly fought Lesnar at the Rumble in 04 for the belt. Imagine if he won? No Eddie super push?

Dude's responsible for killing Shinsuke Nakamura's momentum so he can rot in a sack for all I care push wise.

I think he has presence in the sense he looks like a classic 1980s heel, and he has an expressive face. The problem is that his character happens to be an 80s style "foreign menace " heel, and that doesn't work in 2017 anymore.

The problem is that his character happens to be an 80s style "foreign menace " heel, and that doesn't work in 2017 anymore. It worked to a degree with Rusev in his initial push, but the differences were: -He didn't win the World title out of nowhere. Hell, even his US title win was well earned by the time he got it. -It was... it was a current, relevant issue, and we should probably leave it at that in terms of politics. Complaints that it was just 80s Cold War throwback were missing the point for the same reason JBL's champion run was about a whole lot more than cowboys. Unless I am missing something, it'd be like if Ezekiel still worked for them and they had him as the world champion as the "EVIL GUYANESE MENACE! UHH, JONESTOWN I GUESS! NONE OF YOU HAVE HEARD OF GUYANA UNDER ANY OTHER CONTEXT!" -Rusev was, and remains, a much more talented wrestler than Jinder, and I don't even say that in condemnation of Jinder. Rusev is just one of the most talented guys under their payroll, could get a decent match out of Khali of all people, and had Lana as a very over part of his act as effective entourage. Jinder has lackeys that make the Bashams look like the Outsiders. So, yeah, Jinder's using a cliche formula, but he's not even really using it correctly. He just has a decent, not great, look, or would if his back didn't look like David Lee Roth's crotch circa 1986. He's also repeatedly thrown into the deep end of the pool without a life preserver by WWE and exposed for his limitations.

Yeah, the Singh Brothers have a low power level. AJ isn't the biggest WWE Champion ever, but something isn't right when your flunkies look like scrubs against him in a handicap match.
