New Day and the Shining Stars help SD's tag team division but they could really use #DIY or TM-61 soon. Other than that I really dig what they did too balance out both shows and there's lot of cool stuff happening. I didn't like how quickly PS Hayes gave up on the Vaudevillains and I'm bummed Gotch got endeavored but English looked really good in his singles match.
Smackdown having Nakamura, AJ, Zayn and KO is like a smarks wet dream! And I'm betting we get some type of a Shield reunion at some point since they are all babyfaces right now and they need something exciting on Raw. Overall i think there were a lot of good moves to freshen up both sides but Smackdown still has AJ so it will still be better! Also that Strowman Beat down was Maj!
Imagine how awful WWE would be if there wasn't the NXT Pipeline and the genius that Dusty Rhodes left behind. The main-card of RAW Rollins, Bray, Balor, Joe, Reigns, Ambrose, Bayley, Sasha, Nia, Alexa, Emma, Dana, The Revival, Enzo & Cas, Neville, Aries, Kalisto, Crews, etc The main-card of SD KO, Shinsuke, Sami, Harper, Corbin, Charlotte, Becky, Natalya, Carmella, Alpha, New Day, The Ascension, Tye, English 85-90% of this talent would still be wrestling in front of a few hundred people
I am really impressed by Charlotte. Is she the GOAT female wrestler? I guess getting dropped on her head brought her some attention, but as a female wrestler I don't think I have ever seen any female do what she does.

He toiled in developmental, and the indies for a long time. He really isn't anything special, but the NXT crowds tend to get behind those types. He was finally given a somewhat tolerable gimmick with the perfect 10, and the crowd ran with it. Tyler Breeze got over for a similar reason. The fans felt he paid his dues and really got behind him. I would be pretty surprised if he isn't relegated to jobber fairly soon, but he does have that good size Vince loves, maybe he finds a niche.
I think Dillinger will get over, probably not WWE Championship level but he can be a US Title/Tag Title mid-card guy down the road. Saying he has no charisma is wrong, he's got more charisma than most of the top guys on the roster. It's why fans are behind him, he doesn't have a work rate like Styles, Rollins, KO, etc. He's just a fun change of pace guy. I wish Breeze would take his old gimmick and go back to NXT. They are throwing money away with him. He was super over with the Full Sail crowd. Are just let him not have a gimmick. He's got the right look to be a top guy and he's not a bad worker at all.
Jinder Mahal is getting a WWE Title match at the next PPV, so it's wrong to say that this guy or that definitely can't get over or is destined to be no more than a jobber. All you need to do is get some visible veins.
Was thinking about the Big Show vs. Shaq match, so I decided to look up Big Show's college basket ball stats: http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/paul-wight-1.html
I HATE what they've done with Seth Rollins. I know it's not his fault he lost some of his in ring speed but this MUH KNEE gimmick is terrible. He's basically I LOVE how the WWE made Braun Strowman the biggest babyface right now destroying Roman. Hah I'm NOT FINISH WITH YOU is the best quote we've had in years.
