I decided to combine my review of Raw and Smackdown after the big Summer Slam Pay Per View. The shows aired on Monday August 21st and Tuesday August 22nd.
Fans did not seem to appreciate John Cena coming to Raw because fans instantly began to boo the tag team of Roman Reigns and John Cena facing the Miz and company. For the most part Raw feel back into the old habits of the show. Only news was the Cass may have injured his leg in a no dq match with Enzo. Fans do not want to see the same old feuds and rivals the WWE has been putting out there. As a fan it is nice to see a feud but after that feud has been played out several times is gets old. An announcement was made that Lesnar will face Strowman at No Mercy Pay Per View
NO MERCY is on SEPT 24th 2017 and the Lesnar vs Strowman Match is the only match announced so far and here are my early odds on it:
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH FOR THE WWE UNIVERSAL TITLE ODDS:
LESNAR +125
STROWMAN EVEN
Smackdown has been doing a SPLIT SCREEN during commercials and I think it is fantastic idea however they forgot to do it in the US Championship match with AJ Styles and Kevin Owens. Smackdown is bringing more wrestlers up from NXT adding BOBBY ROODE and BENJERMAN SHELDON to the roster. If Smackdown is going to be the show where NXT wrestlers move up into more of a spotlight it may give the show an edge over Raw if Smackdown can create more story-lines and be a little more creative.
I really liked what DOLPH ZIGGLER stated it does seem gimmicks are what it is all about in the WWE lately. He pointed out the singing both on RAW and Smackdown we have entertainers singing before matches. Not that I mind but I thought this was wresting not the Americas Got Talent Show. I am all down with a good entrance song and theme but WWE fans want wrestling matches not long drawn out entrance themes and songs.
Since WWE is nearing the biggest event WRESTLE MANIA on APRIL 4th 2018 you have to wounder where the WWE is going with story lines and creativity. So far this year we have not seen Lesnar defend the Title many times and even though we had several title matches at Summer Slam is still lacked that head turning wow moment I believe the WWE fans need and want.
SMACKDOWN also allows the WWE SMACKDOWN CHAMPION to CHEAT to win. Even Daniel Bryant brought this fact up during Smackdown. All Jinder Mahal does is use the Sing brothers to win matches and in matches and with no Sing brothers he has lost.
In my review both RAW and SMACKDOWN need to step up the game I have been calling out SHANE AND STEPHANIE MCMAHON for months over some creative ideas I have. However they must really fear THE OUTLAW MICHEAL TOMSIK ideas and thoughts for the WWE or just do not care about the WWE FANS because I never get an answer.
SO I AM ASKING YOU WWE FANS TO HELP WE SOCIAL MEDIA BRING THE OUTLAW MICHEAL TOMSIK TO WWE!
