[7/19] WWE Draft on Live Smackdown Thread - It's Time To Shake Things Up Again! (Live Updates in OP)

[Jmare007]

Balor is also tiny and doesn't look legit at all facing bigger guys. At no point do you think AJ can't hang with dudes like Roman and Cena, but Balor doesn't even look legit against some of the slightly bigger NXT guys. That's definitely going to hurt him. He's like...Bryan size, but without the genuinely likable underdog aspect, the actual skills, or the personality.

Going back to the Ambrose comparison, Dean isn't menacing at all either, and his move set is a complete joke (just like his character) but dude is still over because for some reason his gimmick and mannerism makes people like him. That's all Balor really needs, and with all his limitations I think he MIGHT accomplish it if his demon BS connects with the fans. But yeah, if he doesn't succeed rather early he'll get thrown to the bushes and be Neville 2.0.

Don't know if this is a work or shoot but to Cesaro for saying some real shyt either way.

He's absolutely right about the GM nonsense. I'm so over these storylines always revolving around that type of nonsense. It should be about the wrestling-characters.

bu bu bu bu bu Cesaro ca can't talk, b b b bland, doesn't connect

 

[El Guapo]

Hmmm, looking at his Twitter account, it looks like he posts out of character, so I'm thinking an old high school friend who played football and wore #93 passed away and this has nothing to do with wrestling.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Likely after Brooklyn, she's got Asuka at Brooklyn.

Don't get too hyped for Bayley as the mystery partner, best bet is Paige.

I bet it's Naomi

 

[LastManStanding]

 

[Momentum]

And still no Bayley.

Someone has to get those girls in NXT ready.

 

[El Guapo]

I'm also assuming Smackdown is making their own Women's championship and Tag championship (and World title if Dean loses). So Becky, Naomi or Natalya will actually get a reign I wonder what they'll call it though if they're not going to use the term "Diva". Just Women's World Title?

 

[NoMorePie]

Carmella on SD but Enzo/Cass are on RAW

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

[Bonefan32]

If vets are coming back, they will just be brought in as "Free Agents". They weren't drafted because they aren't kayfabe signed yet

Agree and I cant wait for Stevie to return on his instagram he said he was at the WWE performance center watching the draft

 

[RammerJammer]

She wearing timbs and dropped at least 10 "word is bond" and "superstars get drafted every day b" in the locker room

 

[Playaz Eyez]
