Dean ambrose and Renee Young got married.

Dean ambrose and Renee Young got married.

And they get put on separate brands on Monday night. Funny that.

Doesn't Renee do Raw talk as well?

[KK]

I think that's Charly Caruso and Lawler.

Ah right, I haven't watched it since it launched, I thought Renee was on the first one.

Quick reminder that Impact is back on UK TV on Spike this Friday at 9pm.

Also, I see that Lashley has been announced for the World of Sport tapings in Preston in May.

It's the third time they've done it, but I thought it was the first time the ring collapsing on RAW looked really contrived. The second you saw the ring you knew something was up. I think it's like the barricade smash spot near the ring bell. They've done it so many times, it feels like a videogame - press X for OMG! moment.

The Live crowd continue to lap it up, to a certain extent, with almost ironic sounding "Holy gooseberry fool" and "this is awesome" chants.

Best ref bump EVER though. You have to watch it just to see him fall out of the ring.

I was staring at your comment, thinking what the hell has he been watching, what is he talking about but now i've realised that it's tuesday and not monday so Raw was on last night bloody bank holidays.

That's Roman reigns older brother. Whilst 3 minute warning didn't work out, I liked his stuff with hurricane.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

I noticed when angle was talking to Braun he said 'despite his injuries, so called' when referring to reigns. Odd choice of words.

Orton v jinder mahal at backlash. That's excellent, means I don't have to stay up and watch the end of the ppv.

It's like they thought the outcome of the Bray v Randy match wasn't obvious enough

[KK]

Where the strawberry float has that match sprung from.

Like the equivalent of, I dunno, Bob Holly vs Brock Lesnar...but at least that was the RR.

I hope the rest of the card is better, because that main event SUCKS.

Man, Smackdown blew.

The talent seems wafer thing right now considering who's just been given a title shot.

I suppose the problem is KO and styles are feuding over the US title and Zayn doesn't get a look in.

The odd thing I've noticed is American Alpha keep losing.

Having started watching again since Wrestlemania, Smackdown has been the worst show. The Tag-team division seems like a second thought. You need just 3 great teams to make a division with American Alpha being one but I'm finding it hard to think of another. Usos seem good but under-utilised. Maybe the new day will inject something to the scene. The women's division isn't as good as Raws either so find it hard to care.

It's needs more characters, Jericho (I assume) will help along with Rusev (please cut the anti-American gooseberry fool) and rumours are saying Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis have been signed so maybe it'll take a bit of time but hope they rebuild.

No way is Jericho beating Owens at Payback.

I agree. SD could do with Wade Barrett and Cody Rhodes.

[Mafro]

The Jinder thing is really bizarre but it's no doubt just a result of their last minute decisions in the Draft Superstar Shake Up.
