It was billed for tonight at SS (which they could still do but I can't find any mention of it on wwe.com), but according to PWinsider Jinder Mahal vs. AJ Styles is now the main event for Clash of Champions. Can't wait.

The cruiserweight division is so embarrassing to watch, it feels like the women’s division during the diva era and any time Alicia Fox is involved.

Apparently the WWE are in talks with Facebook Live for a new weekly TV show, to air after SmackDown, so 205 Live might be on borrowed time (or they're going to tape it).
Main Event tapes before RAW though, and that would make the SD Tapings with this potential new show 4 hours long. People might be more inclined to stick around if they knew top tier RAW talent was turning up though.

Well to be fair, AJ could wrestle a broom in a 4* match. I think most people felt their last match was Jinder's best match of all time (not a high bar I know) but it wouldn't be so bad to see a rematch on a PPV.
AJ is at such a great level right now. He has carried the company through some really shitty PPVs since he joined.

I guess this Women's Royal Rumble match is a cert.

Did they really have to introduce the new Smackdown women the exact same way the ones from Raw were introduced just one night before?! Shows that Smackdown really is the B show. The 3 from Smackdown even looked like a budget version of the 3 from Raw. Liv though

Would love for this to happen, but not at the Royal Rumble itself. It could work, but I think the "main" Rumble should stand alone. It would make a great selling point for the final hour of a Raw

I've only just realised Bray Wyatt (in drag) vs The Demon went nowhere.

Oh yeah, how strange.
Also just watched SD. Why the hell have they put a copycat of Paige’s faction on SD. You even have a pasty white one (ruby) who was stood in the middle most of the time.

I say trial it on the preshow. I think it's getting to the stage though where they could really ditch 205 Live and have a full on women's show. It's a massive risk, but with Charlotte and Alexa leading the division I feel it would be miles stronger than 205.

The tricky thing is a first ever women's rumble needs to be and should be treated like a massive deal. It won't headline the Rumble event though, and putting on immediately before would be mistake. It could kick off the PPV, but I think the preshow would be a mistake.

Dave Meltzer getting into an argument with the editor of the Wrestling Sheet (which has come out of nowhere in recent months to get a lot of scoops):
