WWE TV 04/10 - 04/16 All Across the Codyverse

[KawadaSmile]

With no Roman Reigns (reportedly) at Backlash, will Cody finally unleash his particular universe into WWE?

[sek69]

FInn's nuts for wrestling a week after getting his head split. 

[Tenese Sarwieh]

With Cody/Brock, do a dog collar match. 

[sek69]

I guess they saw enough of Celtics-era Shaq Lita

[sek69]

Evil Trish? Well that's something

[sek69]

OTISMANIA running wild in Seattle

[KawadaSmile]

Tuned in for RAW. Usos had another banger, what's new.

Not a fan of them propping up Riddle as thr newest threat to the Bloodline. Unless they feed him to Solo.

[KawadaSmile]

I love when a wrestler gets stuck with a heel character that gets them nowhere and then they decide to just turn face in the ring.

Drew essentially did that, and Io sees the writing on the wall for DMG CTRL. She has all the crowd popping moves!

[KawadaSmile]

Io is ready for a face push, bubbas. She is so fucking good.

Obvious now we're getting a 6-men tag at Backlash: Solo & Usos vs KO, Sami & Riddle.

[KawadaSmile]

They could have a banger, alright. Solo has improved so damn much just by hanging around the big boys.

Every now and then those greenhorns from NXT do some impressive shit. Flipping out of a gutwrench suplex is something I legit have never seen.

And the Sol Snatcher remains one of the top finishers ever.

[Migs]

I mean, it's good indie movez~! type stuff. They're all clearly great athletes and I like the creativity. It's a bit weird to hold that up like they're on some high level (especially when I feel like the same shit on a non-WWE show would get derision from WWE stans).

[KawadaSmile]

Oh, don't get me wrong - all four of them ARE very green and ARE on a developmental show. The NXT Women's Division was so fucking dire for a long time, and to see newcomers to the industry show some promise is good.

Sol Ruca 100% has IT, tho. She had a nice little match with Tiffany this week, which featured even more flippy shit than the clip, and actual meat to the match. Tiff is great. 

[sek69]

Yeah NXT has some pretty impressive women that are just about to break through in the next year or so. There's a few that seem like they aren't ever going to pan out no matter what, but there's a bunch of unpolished gems  as well. 

[Coffey]

Sol Rucca & Nikita Lyons could both be break out stars for WWE in the future, for sure. I could see them main eventing night one of WrestleMania is like five years. As long as they stay healthy & don't get in their own way with social media nonsense (more speaking for Nikita there).

[sek69]

Mentioning Nikita reminded me, she's on ACL tear #2 and Zoey Stark already is rocking a Steve Austin brace on one leg, wtf are they doing to folks at the PC?

Starks IIRC was during a match, but yeah, I remember those crossfit drills they used to do making a number on their roster

[Strummer]

Looks like wwe is running some sort of worked shoot with Becky and Trish. Becky has removed wwe from her twitter profile she says she won't be on Raw tonight.

this stuff really hasn't worked for AEW lately so this doesn't seem like a good direction to take
