    They need to change that story though because they had Reigns go through it for 4 months and it became stale around SummerSlam. Vince has to create interesting feuds for Rollins that will elevate the Universal Championship. That will add prestige to the title much more than Rollins wrestling day in and day out against random WWE Superstars.

    I honestly don't understand why they didn't let Shinsuke go through with his Nakamerica gimmick. That Blackmass Design photo he posted on Twitter "Make Nakamerica Great Again" was brilliant.

    Paige being removed as GM was BS, she's dine nothing to deserve losing her job.

    Hopefully Mustafa Ali's push continues and this is the start of them finally given Almas some good stuff to do.

    I'm not sure what Vince was talking about with Becky? She was doing exactly what Vince claims she should do, so him scolding her a Charlotte like they were children felt, odd.

    Rusev needs to be pushed as a consistent main eventer, he's the total package and his potential is being wasted.

    Joe continues to be awesome, and Jeff was great as well.

    They need to find some new challengers for Asuka.

    Etc.

    Overall decent show, and FAR better than Raw was.

    I think you read my mind.

    The McMahons being "hands on" removes the need for a General Manager. Hopefully they have something good for Paige because she's really warming up into that type of role.

    Ali and Almas could very well be the future of Smackdown. They should fill in that void of mid-card talent for awhile.

    Vince's comment about Becky's behavior was weird. I wish they let Becky call Vince out on how they've booked her for the past few years and she took it upon herself to finally "grab the brass rings." Becky's fire is slowly burning at the moment but once the Royal Rumble comes around, The Man can be the brightest thing in WWE heading into Wrestlemania.

    Asuka needs good Heels and, sadly, the only good one is Charlotte. (I don't consider Becky to be a Heel.) The only way to legitimize Asuka as a top class Women's Champion is to be in a program with Charlotte and beat her at Wrestlemania.

    Also it's hilarious that freaking Vince, who's spent the last 20 years playing one of the most petty, vindictive, and obsessive characters ever (and who has a known vindictive/petty streak IRL as well) telling other people to "get over it."

    Pot meet kettle.

    Asuka using the Codebreaker was cool, hopefully she makes that a more consistent part of her moveset.

    The Iconics are pretty good heels, but they sort of lack credibility. Asuka,Charlotte and Becky have both managed to essentially beat both at one time in the past, so they are somewhat watered down. Still, because they have numbers it's not impossible to quickly build them up if they wanted to get a stronger push.

    But yeah, Charlotte is basically the only real threat. I imagine that'll be Asuka's Wrestlemania opponent because really who else can it be?

    Vince chastising Becky without allowing her to talk back was the wrong call but I'm not putting too much into his "get over it" attitude as I am with his "do something about it" attitude. Sooner or later, they're going to need to let Becky go off on Rhonda without any interruptions. Especially from Charlotte.

    The IIconics don't work well in singles competition but are best when teamed together. I would have no problem with them being the first Smackdown Women's Tag Team Champions.

    Sonya Deville would be my go-to for building up a future singles Heel for Asuka after Charlotte but it seems like it'll more than likely go to Mandy Rose. I honestly wouldn't mind Lacey Evans as a future contender either.

    Shane literally said that Paige was still going to be around, so not really getting why folks are worried about her. She'll probably still occupy a pseudo-GM role on SDL for when none of the McMahons/HHH can be there kayfabe-wise.

    As for Becky and Vince, he basically gave her carte blanche to to get payback on Ronda however she wanted. Not seeing what the actual issue is there.

    The General Manager role is gone until the McMahon takeover is done which more than likely won't be any time soon. They don't want to acknowledge Raw as being the only damaged product so they're taking over Smackdown as well...a brand that doesn't really need to be taken over and a General Manager role that didn't need to really disappear. There were certainly a lot of strong improvements this week but whether or not it was a result of the McMahon takeover is questionable. It didn't necessarily feel forced by intervention.

    The opening segment was written kind of poorly but Vince's "do something about it" attitude was certainly the highlight...except they didn't really do anything with that. The camera shows Becky saying "I will!" but there was no focus on that other than seeing it on camera. There was no dialogue between the women and Vince so it fell flat.

    Ali and Almas would be a great program for both competitors. It already has a good beginning and can really take off during the Royal Rumble.

    Put Nikki Cross on SDL, those two had a great feud in NXT. And move Sasha over to SDL as well, we got teased with that cool Sasha vs. Asuka match on Raw awhile back, so I'd love to see those two have a proper feud with each other.

    I think the Iconics work fine as singles heels because it means any face wrestling them needs to deal with the numbers game. And that makes them at least a moderate threat to any face because they are always outnumbered unless they get back up to even the odds.

    Which isn't to say they aren't a ready made tag team if they ever need get a tag division, but Peyton can be a singles competitor with Billie at ringside if they need someone in a pinch.

    If Smackdown gets Nikki (which they probably will since Sanity is on Smackdown), that's probably the best choice. The only question mark is if she's a heel or face, since she's sort of been a tweener for awhile.

    It's about Wrestlemania season--maybe we are getting Nikki Bella coming back to face Asuka.
