The only thing that had any buzz was the Cody situation and that's cooled off with each passing week. It's just a boring product with no concept of 'momentum' or booking stars. People had already soured on Ronda towards the end of her last run and now the world has moved on. I think Becky vs Sasha and Charlotte vs Bianca would be much more compelling feuds at this point. Becky being forced into this ridiculous heel role has really had a negative effect on the the division and her vs Ronda has no juice where they currently stand. Sasha is likely seen as a liability as she always seems to get injured/disappear at the worst times. Austin making his long awaited comeback to this tired shell of a promotion is just sad.

Plus they would just pipe in the boos anyway if that was the issue.

Apparently Vince thought he looked too much like Randy Savage.

Eddie Kingston to squash him on the way out.

Really? Can't see it happening but I'll take it. WWE can keep him.

Yeah, the only person who seemed to be thrown under the bus was Swole. If Tony wasn't such a petulant, thin-skinned manchild (again), none of this shit would have blew up like it did.

At least they were committed to Kofi before they ultimately jobbed him out . They're not even pretending to give a shit about Big E. The nature of his victory (babyface cashes in on an injured oppenent. No plan, no journey. Just a reactionary ratings grab.) kneecapped him from the start, and they've done nothing since to suggest they see him as a star. Poor guy just looks like he's keeping it warm for Seth before Mania season.

It genuinely seems like Vince has thrown in the towel when it comes to babyface stars. Like, they know they'll fuck them up anyway, so why bother. All his faves are heels. Constantly standing tall on every show. It would explain the inexplicable Becky Lynch heel turn. Poor Big E might be the worst booked world champion in over a decade.

I don't watch Smackdown, but from what I've gathered from reading, podcasts etc . . is Storm getting "Mickie James'd", so to speak? Disappears from TV. Returns looking trimmed down. Confidence seemingly shaken. And now her gimmick is that she's into pies?

Sure, but the spot didn't go "according to plan" because Storm didn't get into position.

A nice way of summing up why she fucking sucks. I don't think she did much wrong in that gif above though. That's all on Toni. Is Meltzer still banging on about how Toni Storm is a future superstar? I never saw it.

Seven years straight of the Brock/Roman/Charlotte show and a revolving cast of chumps. God knows how anyone can still enjoy this shite.

Also, Kevin Owens was one of the biggest and best babyfaces on the planet early this year and they they didn't even attempt to keep him hot after the Roman feud. They just fucking hate babyfaces. Booking heels is so much easier.

Yeah Bianca was doing surprisingly well. So, of course they had to set her back. Now they're in danger of turning her into the babyface Roman Reigns which is NOT good.

The only thing of any interest from WWE this year was Bianca Belair becoming a superstar and, well, umm...
