Will be interesting to see if RAW can build on their awesome brand split debut episode last week

Man NXT Brooklyn and SummerSlam are shaping up nicely 

The Savior Seth Rollins vs The Demon Finn Balor.  That match is going to be fuggin awesome guranteed.

Asuka vs Bayley II.  They had a great segment tonight on NXT that has me completely sold on that feud

Dean and Ziggler I wasn't crazy about until Smackdown when they did a great job setting up the story 

Joe vs Nakamura

Ember Moon debuting for NXT

I am jealous of @Still Brooklyn who will be there live (I think)

Cant wait for the return of Shelton Benjamin. Got me excited to watch. If he starts jobbing though ill go right back to saying screw it.

If you get the chance watch Johnny Gargano vs Tomasso Ciampa from this week's cruiserweight classic. That was pretty damn good.

Also color me unimpressed with Noam Dar. He's so green and it showed in his match.

Yeah.  Holy shyt that was good.  Amazing storytelling and stiff as fug.

And the end was perfect with Ciampa sitting down next to him.

Only complaint is, now instead of wanting them to beat The Revival at NXT Brooklyn I am already chomping at the bit for them to break up and have a blood feud over several Takeovers.

It was by far the best match of round 1

Shelton Benjamins return has been delayed. Apparently has to get his shoulder surgically repaired :(

Kota Ibushi vs Cedric Alexander was fugging amazing tonight.

And the bit at the end with HHH coming out was tear jerking

Hope Alexander gets signed by WWE.  A Charlotte, NC guy too.

One of the best matches of the year

So happy that Cedric had that moment. He wrestled his ass off in that match. He's absolutely deserving of not only a contract but an opportunity to headline the cruiserweight division on raw.

After 4 weeks of brand split RAW has slipped back into normal routine after amazing first show.  Since then it has been hit or miss.  3 hours is just too damn long. 2 hours is perfect

Smackdown after a rough first show has been pretty damn consistently awesome.  Storytelling and PPV build  on Smackdown has been superb.

 

So far Smackdown >>>> RAW

Both Alberto Del Rio and Paige suspended 30 days for wellness policy violations 

Of course, Paige has been hurt anyway and Rel Rio is about as exciting as a hernia operation

Just bought my NXT ticket. Not going to do Summerslam or RAW. Front row again! Looking forward to it.
