I don't think you want to have Control losing any time soon though either, which is the problem, no matter how "protected" it would be. Just because a result is obvious doesn't make it bad. Swerves for the sake of swerving is bad booking. Having Control lose now would pretty much completely defang them, unless the plan is to have someone like Dakota or Iyo beat Bianca for the title (note how I left Bayley out of the equation here). Because otherwise their ceiling will basically be cemented as "Bayley's henchpeople", which is not a good place to be, especially since they've been trying to present this stable as equals. I also don't really see Toxic getting much of a spotlight until Mandy is called up again. They will be tag champs at some point, but it won't be for awhile. They haven't had the build yet, and are complete and utter unknowns outside of Mandy, who lets be honest here, has been ice cold outside of her pairing with Otis. Nah, the way I see it breaking down is Control wins the tag titles, and then Bayley pins Bianca at Clash (probably dirty) to get a title match at Extreme Rules or something, where (Bianca) she doesn't need to get pinned to lose the title. You can then work from there. I think with Gigi and Jacy maybe they should get away from the sex appeal gimmick (which is more Mandy's deal anyway) and make them more of a grittier brawler heel team which is what the vignette of them a few weeks ago seemed to be hinting at. I think there's something there with them. Problem for them is going to in ring work especially Gigi whom I don't know what the problem is (injury? weight gain?, combination of both?) but her work like isn't even passable anymore as like literally everything she does now looks awkward and bad. Jacy while a little better isn't exactly some top notch worker either. Maybe calling them up and having them work more experienced wrestlers will help. Preferably Raw where you have the likes of Becky and Asuka as faces which is whom they would be working with. Even someone like Alexa who while I wouldn't say is a great wrestler by any means is at least ok and has some experience. I honestly get the feeling that they are maybe splitting Toxic up with Mandy staying in NXT for the time being and Gigi and Jacy staying together as a duo. They had YouTube exclusive interview with Mandy where the other two weren't there and she took credit for all of their success saying she led them to the titles and put them on the map. Them losing tonight I think would maybe plant the seeds for more dissension in that Mandy could be like "I opened the door for you to get in the tournament by injuring Zoey and you blew it". I don't think Toxic Attraction ends up on RAW. Their division is fairly loaded now, and Smackdown desperately needs the talent more. Especially since Liv (or Ronda) are going to need more heels to feud with before too long. People aren't going to boo Ronda against any other woman on Smackdown at the moment, so they may as well just have her run over Toxic Attraction as well.

Come on Sheamo and give that man back TOO MANY LIMES!!! he has been begging for it for the longest time.
Oh and Alexa and Asuka losing back to back is not an issue at all IMO seeing as the draft is pretty much right after Clash and clearly going to be used to reset alot of things especially someone like Alexa who needs to go to SD ..idk if Asuka goes there with her but if does it would largely IMO be to keep her away from IYO (but I think Becky is getting drafted) right now since Papa H clearly has plans for that and has done his damndest to make sure they have not laid a hand on each other yet despite being in multiple brawls already.
And Bianca taking the pin to set up the 1 nn 1 with Bayley while yes may be predictable but it is the right call because you wanna keep riding the hot wave right now with Controll holding all the titles on Raw and also you need them remaining strong since they are being set up to feud with Naomi and Sasha who will likely replace Alexa and Asuka in this entire thing.

Can't wait for those Jacy Jayne ice cream bars. Jacy Jayne, the real Double J. Ain't she great? Great? That's not enough to describe Jacy.

Saw my elderly neighbor this morning & told him 2 of his favorites are back on Smackdown Scarlett & Gary M. Kross. He told me SD might replace NXT as his 1 wrestling show he watches each week but he needs to see his girls Toxic Attraction. With this news I think NXT will officially be dead to him.

I won't lie, Gunther vs. any of these guys doesn't particularly interest me all that much.

Jacy went from being the other one and now she made it to SD.
That woman found a four leaf clover , double rainbow and horseshoe because life is good.

I hope the show tonight will be even half as entertaining as the thread's been so far.

Also, I just checked and my Fox channel isn't preempting Smackdown for football, so I'll get to watch with y'all tonight.
