>Brian Kendrick vs. Kalisto is announced for Survivor Series, with the stipulation being if Kalisto wins, he not only gets the title, but the Cruiserweight division comes to SmackDown.
So it's pretty much confirmed. TBK jobbing to great lucha thing.
>>1945621
No fuck off we're full
lol if true tho
>>1945621
One of the last few men left in wrestling.
cool
>>1945631
When is Kalisto Silas Young?
>>1945621
I hope it's true. I'd like to see a few of the CWC guys but Raw is too trash for me to watch any of it.
>>1945631
thats not hunico
Done with WWE if kalisto wins. The last thing the one good show needs is more vanilla midgets.
>Smackdown is now a de facto 3-hour show with flippy no-character shit in the third hour
wew
>>1945621
This pretty much means the IC is going to RAW
Fuck, I hope Zzzayn gets injured and leaves the thread vacant
Raw gets Intercontinental Title
SD Live gets Cruiserweights
So that new Cruiserweight show at 10pm makes more sense now
>>1945662
Miz is going to interfere and cause a DQ got to set up the feud for TLC
>>1945621
>great lucha thing
GOD DAMMIT WOO
>>1945663
This would be fucking terrible. I knew Vince couldn't let Smackdown be good for long.
>>1945664
Based Miz keeping the vanilla midgets out of the tittle scene
>>1945693
Big Scripts Ward is gonna save the Cruiserweight division.
>>1945621
Nah we good raw we don't want your just desserts we'll take gentleman jack wherever he is the brian kendrick rick Swann and Cedric Alexander. No cruiserweight division.
>>1945621
Based Kalisto is shooting his way to the top. Dude is cucking all these white dudes of their pride by knocking them out at catering.
>>1945663
This is definitely the plan. IC has to go to RAW to give them 1 more title to chase when they lose the cruiser.
I had been wondering if SMACKDOWN was going to cut the tag team and divas out completely to make room for the cruisers, but I'd forgotten about the planned 1 hour live show on Tuesdays "right after SMACKDOWN, no relation".
>>1945621
I think they're trading the Intercontinental championship for the Cruiserweight division because of Smackdowns weak midcard game
Zayn will take the Intercontinental championship to Raw, which will elevate the US title further to main event while the midcard on Raw can argue about the Intercontinental championship. Smackdowns lackluster mid card will get a boost, and everyone wins
>>1946843
Vince lacks subtlety in his planning, if anything
>>1946957
Vince lacks subtlety in general.
IC won't go to RAM because SD still needs a midcard title to chase or it would be barren.
RAM already has it's mid and top title. They're not changing that formula.
The only change is CW's going to SD so they can go to 205 Live. It's a very minimal change, doesn't really effect RAM much, since they're there for like, 20 minutes weekly anyway.
Moving the IC would fuck SD hard.
>>1946971
This. The existence of 205 Live is key, basically.
>take CW's
>put them on hour-long flippyshit extravaganza
>they're not actually on SDLive itself
>"Lol lets take the IC anyway and rob SD of it's only midcard male title, inundating RAM and clogging it up in the process"
lmao how stupid are you motherfuckers. IC ain't moving, 205 Live cements that.
>>1946978
Nah they did say the championship goes to the victorious brand.
IC still isn't budging, though. Sami's literally the best worker on RAM, they just want to get the best possible match out of the opportunity.
>>1946985
I think Cesaro just edges Zayn out in terms of pure workrate.
>>1945663
Seems unlikely but I hope it happens. IC title is wasted on Smackdown as there's no mid card. Cruisers are in the water with Raw's bookers.
>>1947013
There's no midcard on RAM either.
And there's certainly no midcarder who's freeing the US Title from Roman.
>>1947015
Raw midcard:
>Zayn
>Rusev
>Cesaro
>Sheamus
>Jericho
>Strowman
>Neville
Smackdown midcard:
>Ziggler
>Miz
>Corbin
>>1947017
Jericho is Owens' upper-midcard lackey and won't be around for much longer.
Rusev just got destroyed by Reigns.
Cesaro & Sheamus were put in tag team ghetto.
Strowman hasn't even had a singles match against a non-jobber.
Zayn is Strowman fodder.
Neville is even less relevant.
>>1947013
>IC title is wasted on Smackdown
>just came out of a Dolph/Miz feud hotter than literally everything RAM has put on post-brand split, and for a good stretch pre-brand split
Retard.
>>1947021
Yeah but there's literally nobody for Ziggler to feud with now.
Retard.
>>1947019
Yeah exactly. Literally all of your points can go some way toward being fixed by giving them the IC title to fight for. Thanks for helping my point.
>>1947026
They could also go away if any of them were even remotely close to the US Title picture.
But they're not. And you think another shiny belt will fix this issue?
RAM has a midcard so barren that next month they're having their US Champ defend against...the Universal Champion in the main event.
>>1947028
That's much more about the main event scene being so barren that they have to bring Roman back into it since he's the only other babyface than Rollins.
As outlined already, they have plenty of midcarders.
>>1947024
>so he should go to RAM and job to BBD!
t. Fedoramen
>>1947013
>wasted on Smackdown
>did more with a worthless title than raw did with a shiny new one
Yeah, your point about more talent is decent, and all. But the usage of them is far inferior to how it is on SD.
So, no. Run along Rawtismo, nobody wants to watch your shit-show anyway.
>>1945621
so basically if this calypso guy wins im done watching wrestling
im going to fucking canada
Goddamnit WOOO
>>1947043
> FedoRamen
>>1946985
Zayn needs to go to SDL, really. He's wasted on Raw.
SDL needs midcarders. Who've they got to compete in the current IC race?
>Ziggler
Good challenger, seems to be a shitty champ. His programme with Miz was great
>Miz
Great champ, but literally doesn't wrestle outwith championship matches
>Corbin
His gimmick doesn't allow him to go after titles for some reason
>Swagger
Lower mid card
>Kalisto
Mishandled talent
>Rhyno
Currently in a tag team
>Heath Slater
Currently in a tag team
>Curt Hawkins
Lower mid card
>Apollo Crews
Lower mid card
So basically this leaves yet another Swagger/Miz programme
BASED KALISTO
Lol like a fucking Mexican is gonna win anything with the wall about to be built
They need to move the titles around along with certain wrestlers
Raw
Universal
IC+US (merge the titles)
Women
SD
WWE
TAG
Cruiserweight
BOOM all fixed
>>1947030
>Reigns
>babyface
Literally not even as loved by the crowd as midcard heels.
>>1948285
worked
>>1945663
Then Smackdown will have no fucking Midcard title.
>>1949011
There are no midcards on SD anyway.
>>1949011
Why the fuck do they need a miscard title you cuck? Their roster is paper thin. Cruiserweights and a main belt is good enough. I hate this mantra neo wwe has cooked up where only 3 guys can be in the main event scene at any time
>>1949399
>Cruiserweights and a main belt is good enough
Cruiserweights will be on 205 Live, separate from the main SD show.
>>1945663
>having ic and us title on the same show
why?
God
Dammit
WOO
>>1949011
Like the IC Title was gonna lead to a ton of great feuds with SmackDown's tiny roster anyway. Miz-Ziggler was good, but do you REALLY trust Ziggler to carry the midcard in any tangible way?
Besides, this gets us one step closer to AJ vs. Kane for the title.
>>1948986
0 D I M E S

>>1949622
>to AJ vs. Kane for the title.
Why would you ever want this?
>>1949682
Why would you not.
>>1949685
Kane wasn't exactly a great worker in his prime and that was 15 years ago?
>>1949691
AJ's good enough to carry him and Kane's just so fucking charismatic, it'd end up working.
This truly is the darkest timeline
>>1949699
Just go watch Styles vs. Bad Luck Fale and pretend The Underboss is Kane.
>>1949600
unify them, 2 midcard titles and 2 main event titles is too much for the current roster even with the brand split
they would have to do some trades between the shows to make this work though
Brian has the plan.
>Baron Corbin will attack Kalisto and the match will end in DQ.
>Since no show wins the title, they will announce that the CW title will be on it's own show 205 Live.
>>1945621
>Kalisto wins by DQ or countout, division still goes to SD
>Zayn wins and moves the IC Title to Raw
>US Title is unified with the Universal Title at Roadblock
>>1945621
Implying a Trump supporting McMahon would let a mexican hold a belt
please gain height
>>1950037
lol this is the stupidest shit ever, there should be even more titles frankly
>>1947024
Baron Corbin and jack swagger are two names
>>1951213
Ziggler already feuded with Corbin earlier this year and it sucked.
