WWE needs to have more Smackdown and RAW shows bookend the overseas PPVs.

A lot of US crowds are silent and don't deserve shows.

looking at you, "Corpse Christi"

Another QR code from Smackdown. We BOlieved, and it sounds like Alexa Bliss.

Gee the crowd in Lyon was nuts. Great to see.

Add it to Puerto Rico as the list of places they need to keep going back to.

Fair to say that most international countries that are starved of Live WWE would get crowds similar to Lyon and Puerto Rico, especially when it's more than just a house show.
It's the reason why the RAW after WM is always a little nuts. The crowd is full of internationals and first-timers.

I like the Smackdown/PLE double they're doing now, first in France then coming up in Saudi Arabia.
Looking forward to the time when it's relevant though, with results affecting the PLE the following night.
Title changes, added stipulations, add competitors to a match etc.

would be nice for them to switch it up and do PLE/RAW. Usually the SD before the PLE isn't that interesting, the RAW before the PLE is the main "PLE go home" show.

The RAW after is always more interesting. We get to see who the next challengers are, more debate on what happened at the PLE, and quite often get debuts/returns.

I don't see why they can't make a full weekend of it. Fri/Sat/Mon shows in a single country, 3-4 times a year.
Maybe do an NXT event on the Sunday. Can use 1-4 cities for the whole event.

I'm all in on the Wyatt 6!

If Nikki is in

 

[Cleavy]

I hope for the fans it lives up to the (over)hype.

Need to debut soon, can't let the vignettes drag too long

 

[Raveneyes]

Who will W6 feud with first?

Surely not Cody or Priest already.
If they debut tomorrow, will it be after or during Orton/KO vs Bloodline?
That ties them to Smackdown, but I'm not sure they'll be there.

Will it be an angle backstage?
Will they debut as heels or faces?
Will they be on RAW or Smackdown? Likely RAW in my opinion, not just because Liv Morgan is there too.

I have an idea of what may happen, but nothing is certain. Quite a few question marks. Just what good booking should do.
Looking forward to this.

 

[Cleavy]

what if they're just attacking everyone? the supernatural knows no boundaries.

Quality back for KOTR. Much better.

Woods not defending is surprising, despite losing to Gunther last week.

 

[JP Sauce]

An odd choice for sure, you'd think he could at least replace Kofi.

The thought of Gunther vs Sheamus then Gunther vs Drew and Gunther vs Dragunov (in any order) is very exciting.

I would assume for storyline purposes with Gunther injuring him from this weeks Raw

Think they'll be multiple weeks of the first round.

Guess people don’t want KKK (King Kofi Kingston).

Could easily do a week in aus/nz. Eg.. SD on Saturday morning in Bris, PlLE in Sydney on the Sunday. House show in Auckland on the Monday, Raw in Melbourne on the Tuesday, house show in Adelaide on the Wednesday, house show in Perth on the Thursday, back in the States on Friday/saturday
