If Smackdown wanted a woman's champion win they should try to get Naomi the title by SS. Naomi probably has the most singles wins over Alexa since she hit the main roster.

No no no....lord only knows when Nattie will get another reign...if ever..
This one needs to last...


Besides, I always wonder why people make comments like this about a scripted, predetermined sport.

Because it is fun to pretend it isn't scripted and predetermined. And because as it stands Natalya has probably no chances of winning against Alexa.

Wins and losses should matter.

Actually, in this specific instance I'd kinda like to see title-less Naomi take on Bliss simply because of this stat, just to see how it would play out.

I'm reminded of some old WCW PPV where they had Great Muta vs Ric Flair with a ten or fifteen minute time limit, and the announcers called it by saying that Flair usually tries to outlast his opponents in hour-long matches, but with a short time limit he has to wrestle at a pace he's not usually comfortable with while Muta is more accustomed to a balls-to-the-wall fight. It changed the dynamics of the match, and provided a plausible reason how Ric freakin' Flair could lose to some Japanese dude. With that in mind, I wouldn't mind seeing an angle where Raw picks Bliss since she's their champ, and SD instead of their champ picks the woman with the best win/loss record against this particular wrestler. Could be interesting.

Yeah, I think Alexa is gonna go over Natalya as well.

Of course. that probably means the women of Smackdown will win the five-on-five Survivor Series match.

If Mahal used all the moves he has on 2k18 I might won't mind him as champion.

Gable and Benjamin are jerks and I hope The Usos wipe the floor with them.

One thing WWE's is doing right, is trying to legitimize Jinder as a threat to Brock.

Every time I see them I think they should be called the Basham Brothers, but some little voice deep inside of me tells me that isn't right.

Poor Rusev. To think, he was once a monster heel.

It is the future of all most monster heels.

But really, isn't every day Rusev Day?

It'll be a sad day if Braun ever gets subjected to it.

Trying to still make Sin cara into Rey. *sigh*

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY!!!!

Breezango does Stranger Things tonight!

Give it time he well. I think only Lesnar and Undertaker if he counts have avoided it.

I thought they decided Kalisto would be the new Rey. He even did an underdog speech and said he was dedicating a match to Eddie.

I should probably watch that. Won't be able to finish it in time for the parody, natch, but still...

Rusev vs AJ Styles with the winner being on Team Smackdown.

WTF is wrong with Shane? If I were SD manager/commissioner/director of authority I'd want them both, not try to kick out one of them. Just sayin'.

'Sweet Wynona Ryder' :lol:

Damn straight. 

Nakamura vs KO.  

It'll be interesting to see who's the better of the matchup between strongman, and strong style.

And better yet, the chance of seeing Kurt and Shinsuke in the same ring together.

For as heelish as Smackdown has been acting in the war. Currently they have an all face team.

I can’t wait to watch Lesnar German suplex/F5 The Singh Brothers into space.

The Fright Night Fatal 4-Way should go down in the annals of fun festive themed Halloween matches. None of the guys took the match all that seriously, which was great because it got the personalities of the performers over and there was enough action to keep fans interested in the action. That interesting part of the match is that the biggest conflict of the match was whether Mustafa Ali could get Tony Nese to eat a candy bar which he succeeded in doing. In fact, this was a pretty decent performance from Ali and while he wasn't anywhere near as athletic as Metalik during the match, he came off pretty well on the show, scoring the winning pinfall with a top senton with a broomstick in hand.

For a show that seemed more interested in celebrating the holiday on the surface, I was surprised by how many serious angles were on display. After Tozawa made his comeback last week, he faced off against Gulak, winning in a fairly one-sided encounter. Watching the match, I couldn't help but feel they were building Tozawa up for a championship match down the line, similar to Kalisto defeating Gulak on Raw this past Monday.

That was followed by Rich Swann versus The Brian Kendrick, which had been hyped as a match where Alexander could turn on Swann and join Kendrick. Through out the match, I was just waiting for the inevitable swerve but to my surprise they just played the match straight with Swann going over. Actually, I really enjoyed the lay out of the match and what it said about Swann's character. Instead of getting offended by the 'clown' remark, he embraced it and used it to get under Kendrick's skin. Watching Swann in full clown gear and come out with the clown entrance was great and the way he threw Kendrick off early really legitimised the whole segment. That could have very easily backfired, but they made it work and the two went onto have a good television match. It seemed like a full-stop on their program, so it'll be interesting to see whether or not they'll use the result to push Swann as a contender for the Cruiserweight Championship.

No Kalisto or Enzo on the show, I assume they traveled to the UK. It didn't hurt this show, but I hope they can build something up on Raw. Both guys are capable, so I can't wait to see what they can do in the coming weeks to build their match up, because at the moment it feels like Kalisto is just holding down the fort, waiting for a better opponent to arrive.

On a final note, Nigel McGuinness is challenging Graves as one of the best commentators on the show. He's got the perfect balance of professional analysis and fun banter.

Nigel is growing on commentary. I always thought his voice was a bit off for it but he is coming into his own the further he goes into it. I'd love to see him go back to his ROH champion hair style with the spikes, that was pretty damn cool.

I like Nigel as a commentator. I just wish they didn't shoehorn Percy Watson in as the third man on NXT.

Sami is killing it as a heel. I'm loving it.
