Yeah. Kind of a shame. I honestly think they could have done more with Stardust. Like. Have Cody go crazy. Do some damage to "someone" in a feud. Then have it culminate in a Stardust vs Dustin Rhodes match where Dustin has to save his brother from madness. Then Cody could return as "Cody Rhodes" or something down the line.

As funny as it sounds I was relieved to see Seth Rollins come back yesterday. It means that another good wrestler comes back. My only question is whether he comes back as a face or a heel. Since Reigns went heel I'd have to assume that Rollins tries for face?

"A SmackDown shakeup is about to completely reshape all of WWE. Beginning July 19, the second longest-running weekly episodic program in television history, SmackDown, will move from Thursday to Tuesday nights and air LIVE each and every week — for the first time ever — at 8/7 C on USA Network, the exclusive cable home to WWE’s marquee properties.

This bold move will have major ramifications for all of WWE and exemplify the New Era, as both Raw and SmackDown will each feature their own unique rosters and rivalries following an imminent Superstar draft."

I stand by my words on the roster split. There's a reason why it doesn't exist anymore. Oh well.

This needed to happen. Thank you WWE!

I went to the Greensboro show.

Cool

The roster should be fine.  

Reigns and Cena will probably be picks 1 & 2.  They're basically the same guy, after all; babyfaces that are hated by half the fanbase and can't be pinned by normal means.  Vince probably masturbates over the idea of them BOTH dominating WWE programs.

Past them, there are a herd of guys that can be moved back and forth between main event and upper midcard.

If they don't do this, things are going to get tight when the Wyatts return and a lot of guys are going to be left off.  A split would really benefit wrestlers like Sheamus, Neville, and Breeze.

What would really be interesting if they called out "Samoa Joe" or "Finn Balor" during the draft.  American Alpha is probably ready, too.

The women's division is more complicated.  Bayley will probably move up but I'm still not sure they have enough quality wrestlers.  They might work both shows.  On the other hand, Sasha and Becky could both be top babyfaces.  It's too bad Emma got hurt.

I thought Bray Wyatt was hurt? Won't that affect how the draft will go? It would also be good if they brought back some other wrestlers. I mean it seems like Lesnar only shows up for the big PPVs. It would be nice to see him do some regular shows.

This warmed my heart.  RAW wasn't very good but this made up for it.
