Is Smackdown taking over RAW?

(Image Credit: WWE.com)

Ever since the brand split happened, questions started doing rounds thay was this a good or a bad decision.

At first it sounded like a bad one, but it turns out, that Smackdown has been doing exceptionally well, thanks to the amazing matches, promos and scripts by the production staff and a leverage given by Raw as it tries to curb its wings and let Smackdown fly.

Of course, you can't question the genius minds of Shane and Daniel, but without their performers and the great gripping placement of matches along with a 2 hour time frame makes it even more enjoyable.

Does this mean that Raw is loosing it?

Well, not really. WWE has been keeping both brands running well, however, the current state gives Smackdown a notch higher than Raw.

What do you think?

Are you ready for WWE Backlash?

(Image Credit:WWE Twitter)

We are just round the corner for WWE Backlash, a PPV completely dedicated to Team Blue & it's superstars. When the brand extension took place & the rosters split, there were speculations that we may see brand specific PPV's & Backlash marks the start of the same this Sunday, Sep 11, LIVE only on the award winning WWE Network.

Is this a good move by WWE? Well, I feel that this is a great move because it let's you establish the brand & it's superstars distinctly, instead of getting forgotten against bigger superstars & bigger matches. So let's take a look at the matches that are happening at WWE Backlash:

Alexa Bliss vs. Becky Lynch vs. Carmella vs. Naomi vs. Natalya vs. Nikki Bella

It feels amazing to see that WWE is focusing on the Women's division as well. While we have a Women's Champion on RAW, Smackdown isn't far to crown it's own women's champion which will be decided on their first brand specific PPV Backlash. It would be interesting to see how these beautiful & dangerous & stylish WWE women's competitors perform on a night which can reform their careers & the brand as well. Who are you picking up as the winner & your women's champion?

My pick is Naomi

Tag Team Tournament Final

It's been a time of a lot of new things happening within WWE, be it brand split, new championships, new champions to name a few. The latest in this list is the tag team titles which need to be decided at WWE BACKLASH. There is a fight currently on within Smackdown as to who would claim the new tag team championships. The finalists shall be revealed this week on Smackdown & we may see a powerful tag team match at Backlash. What's your pick for the tag team titles?

My pick is American Alpha

The Miz vs Dolph Ziegler

The self proclaimed Hollywood A-lister has been undefeated for the last 160 days(till Backlash day) & that's what's entered his mind. He has become nastier, arrogant than ever before to the extent that he verbally abused the GM of Smackdown LIVE Daniel Bryan on the episode of Talking Smack & it's about time that someone put some sense in that man.

So, for the man who is in the showbiz we have the show-off Dolph Ziggler who can put Miz in his rightful place of being in the line for another title shot by defeating him at Backlash. Who do you pick as the winner?

My pick is Dolph Ziggler

Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt

The Viper vs The Eater of Worlds, now that's a match worthy of Wrestlemania proportion let alone Backlash. We all know that the Viper has the ability to strike at any split second with his powerful & vicious RKO, but make no mistake about it as the new face of fear is also powerful enough to bring any opponent down with his terrifying looks & if that isn't enough, you always have sister abigail to finish off the task.

These two decorated superstars have everything in their arsenal that could make a powerful match at WWE Backlash thus leaving the WWE Universe craving for more in months to come. Wait until you see how this amazing match transpires. Who do you pick as your winner?

My pick is Bray Wyatt

Dean Ambrose vs AJ Styles

The Lunatic Fringe has been the most unpredictable WWE Champion till now & now he heads to take on the man that calls himself 'The Phenomenal One'. With 2 wins over John Cena, Styles started calling himself as the face that runs the place, but will Dean put an end to the loud mouth Styles at Backlash?

Who do you pick as your winner? My pick is Dean Ambrose

Is Live Smackdown good for WWE?



Smackdown is going LIVE!!!

Yes, you read it right. WWE Smackdown is going LIVE from July 19 & it also marks the return of WWE Draft, so expect a lot of performers switching brands & tag teams being broken.

It may come as a surprise for all of us, because normally WWE would pay most attention to RAW than Smackdown, however with the change of plans and two people running one show ruining the brand value, this comes as a great move.

I'm sure that this opens way for old talents to make fresh waves in WWE, also, a fresh thing will happen with the WWE Draft, maybe Cena will go to Smackdown & by god he should.


He has already won so many titles so many times that now he needs to take some rest & give the new talents a chance to prove themselves on the big stage while he can help build the landscape of Smackdown as it goes live & needs some really energetic performers like Cena.

Let's see how things transcend on July 19th.
