Tonight Smackdown makes it’s highly anticipated debut on Fox. This show has been promoted heavily for the last few weeks, and it’ll feature Brock Lesnar’s first TV match in over 15 years as he takes on WWE Champion Kofi Kingston in the main event. Also match wise on this card we’ll see a loser leaves …

Normally it would be my job to answer that question, but it was sort of a mixed bag this week. This leaves only more questions to be answered next week on RAW and Smackdown. One notable rumour circulating about the wrestling publications is the much vaunted ‘Wildcard Rule’ that Vince McMahon announced many moons ago …

So we have another week where a McMahon family member comes out and imposes a random stipulation between the two brands, as Vince instituted the so-called “wildcard rule” whereby four random wrestlers from RAW and Smackdown appear on the other brand. Roman Reigns, who was just drafted to the blue brand, along with WWE Champion …

There’s a lot to unpack from this past week’s RAW and Smackdown Live, but let’s focus on the main thing that a good chunk of people are probably talking about: the debuts on the main roster of Ricochet, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa and Aleister Black. On RAW, Triple H announced that the four would be …

So one of the new changes since the McMahon family returned to actively “running” RAW and Smackdown is abolishing the so-called ‘automatic rematch’ clause for championship titles. This was evident after Seth Rollins lost the Intercontinental Title to Dean Ambrose and Triple H pretty much said “nobody is going to be automatically handed anything anymore.” …

Although the next WWE pay per view is Hell in a Cell, everyone knows that right after the next topic is going to be Survivor Series, and the excitement over the fantasy match ups being considered as RAW and Smackdown Live go head to head as per the annual tradition. In the first year of …

I have to admit, this entire piece is basically a gigantic mark on this week’s episode of Smackdown Live. How am I confident enough to say this? Occasionally I conduct a live tweet thread on either show, and out of the two I did this week, the #SDLive thread was much more solid and contextual. So …

According to Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer, the reason that recent NXT call ups the Authors of Pain (AOP) and SaNiTy haven’t been on WWE television as of late is that their creative teams literally have “nothing for them” at this time. While the first instinct is to chalk this up to WWE creative’s …

I don’t know if I’m alone in thinking this, but WWE’s overall television production seems very half hearted right now. Let me kick this off with the absolutely cringey, embarrassing and ridiculous words they seem to put on the screen during superstar promos. First off, I’m not a fan of the hand held cameras to …

This Sunday, #SDLive hosts the Fast Lane pay per view, headlined by a 6 pack challenge as AJ Styles defends his WWE Championship against Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn, Baron Corbin and John Cena. Now I have no doubt that this will be a fast paced, actioned packed entertaining watch, however, is it really …

To say that parts of 2017 were a creative booking mess would be putting it lightly. WWE repeatedly backed themselves into corners they were unable to get out of with confusing angles, badly positioned superstars and not continuing storylines. Despite this there were plenty of positives to come out of the year, and as we …
