#1 Compared to Raw the women's division on SmackDown is worst because outside of Bayley, Nia Jax, and Tiffany Stratton the other big names (or The Big 3) aren't doing anything important. Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and Naomi are only there to help push Nia Jax and feud with the Unholy Union in order to make the women's tag titles look relevant. #2 The men's tag team division is stacked but the only way they'll be used is on NXT, hence why The Good Brothers are there every week. #3 Logan Paul is a part timer and will only be around for the big PLEs. I don't think that's a bad thing but if I was in charge he would be defending the title either before or the event. #4 The problem with Cody Rhodes is that nobody he's fighting against has a believable chance at beating him. We knew he was going to beat AJ Styles, we knew he was going to beat Logan Paul, we know he is going to beat Solo Sikoa and there has never been a reason to think otherwise. #5 Cody Rhodes other problem is that he's still fighting The Bloodline. That storyline should have ended at WrestleMania and not be picked back up until Roman Reigns returns.
LOL if Roman reigns comes back he will turn on SOLO and get rid of his act as the Bloodline tribal chief BS>. Solo sucks even the big show would beat SOLO’s ass. Cause SOLO is not tough.
I can see where your coming from. My main problem with smackdown seemly repeating storyline almost every week. The big one being the bloodline 2.0. Almost every time the show ends with someone getting thrown threw the announcer table.
I’m praying LA Knight wins he honestly deserves it through his hard work and him maintaining to still get over with the fans even though he hasn’t done pretty much anything this year
absolutely not😂, after WM Raw has been stuck at a million viewers per episode and has not pulled a 2 in ratings, whereas Smackdown has been consistently pulling 2 million per week and only dropped to 1 million for one episode, so no Smackdown clears badly
the rock is a blessing to WM 40 & maybe 41, but is a hindrance to the main title, because cody is just waiting for that story with the rock to pick back up. any feud with a part timer is not good for wwe atm. i hope after the rock feud we're done with these part timers. midcard like you said just needs a prize, they probably shoulve done a tournament to be the #1 contender for the US title while logan was away. I also feel like 5 matches for a minor PLE is part of the reason why some of the titles just lazily dont have a story. Triple H needs to realize that the pay off to a long story is not the only thing that matters. The build has to be good too. I also would want solo to win at summerslam, because his whole thing is "losing has consequences," and it'd be stupid to have no one from the bloodline win a bloodline rules match. Good video
Agreed with some things said in the video, also I feel like they are making the Bloodline way too much of a priority over the Champion and the Championship. When the importance of both of those things should be neck to neck. And I have been commenting this various places, and I'm going to comment it here, and that is SmackDown starting 2025 NEEDS to be a 3 hour program from now on. Because the rosters on Raw AND SmackDown are STACKED full of men and women who are ultra talented, and it doesn't matter WHO would necessarily be drafted to either brand I feel like because SmackDown would also fall short with TIME to display and build the mens mid card on SmackDown, the women's division on SmackDown, the women's tag division on SmackDown and the men's tag division on SmackDown. I feel like alot of wrestlers in these divisions on SmackDown are falling through the cracks because not enough tv time to develop them as Raw has. Also SmackDown needs it's OWN SmackDown womens tag team champion ships and so does Raw, all this bouncing the womens tag team champions back and forth between brands is just too much to me and feels unecessary. And also just like NXT the women need a mid card belt on each brand as well, there should be a Women's Intercontinental Championship and a Women's United States Championship. There are so many talented women in the locker room that aren't in tag teams that just be in the back, not on tv, doing nothin and I think that is sooo sad!
People are suffering from Bloodline Dependency more specifically Roman because people adored the storyline between Reigns and Rhodes so much that it was the only thing they truly loved about Smackdown not about the talent that's been built now with LA Knight,DIY,and Tiffany Stratton or even the current reign of Cody Rhodes.
It's like it's just interns writing Smackdown and the wrestlers have to come up with their own promos. Roman disappeared for 4 months, comes back for 3 weeks, solos the Bloodline twice, gets packed up by Jacob Fatu, and he hasn't said a word. If Roman disappears again, he'll legit have accomplished nothing and Smackdown continues to be a nothing show
I agree I think it's also Roman has become an actual top tier guy like as good as it gets Cody is just at best okay John Cena at his worst was better than Cody is now Cena at least always had charisma even with bad or typical booking
Smackdown storytelling pace requires way more patience than raw. The nuance of seeing the new bloodline members express themselves slowly is very interesting and doesn't give away their personalities right off the bat but allows them to grow into characters naturally over time. If you watch smackdown they usually are putting on some of the best matches in the weeks (as well as on pay-per-view) but they just really don't have as much time as raw does. Raw as it's 3 hours consistently is the same players and gives them ample amount of time to develop their stories while smackdown has about the same size roster but has to interchange people because of its shortness in 2 hours. NXT does the same with 2 hours but the roster is not as vast and seasoned as SmackDown. Overall smackdown is still great it's just a slow burn show compared to raw which is good to have. not much has really changed it's just that people missed Roman and now that he's back we will now claim that all of a sudden it's way better while top to bottom everything has been consistently good since WrestleMania. It may not always be the most exciting but is consistently good and saying that it's anything else would be a disservice to the many storytelling beats that smackdown has throughout it's 2 hour runtime.
Roman alone can't save Smackdown. Roman is part time, Cody needs real heat w someone, LA Knight as well. Sd lack the stories that Raw have or even NXT have
Exactly. Everybody keep acting like Roman could save Smackdown by himself but no he can't and he won't. I believe he will make it worst because they will focus on the bloodline even more now. Smackdown needs more heels, and to stop revolving the show around Roman and the bloodline.
Smackdown Is Boring cos HHH is not a Good Booker. .he so overrated. And Priest is a Mid card Champion .......Cody Rhodes is Good Champion but He needs a good Booker ......HHH don't care about the mid card Div
Cody's booking has been awful as well. He wins yes, but barely all the time. He isn't a strong champ. I don't want Roman to have it, but at this point they haven't built anyone up to make me feel like they are going to be champion.
Bro what are you talking about man. Cody's defences are won cleanly and has definitively beat the person. Is literally been on every pay-per-view and put on probably the best lack of each ppv. Even after 1000 days y'all did not have this pressure or energy towards Roman.
The brother beats Carmelo Hayes and his first defence then beats AJ styles and one of the best matches of the year were one of the best crowds at backlash then had another match where he bashed the man face with steel steps at clash of the Castle. The only person who has pinned cody was solo, then he defeated him definitively at SummerSlam. So saying he hasn't been booked strong it's just ridiculous man and it's just unfair and not realistic expectations to even have. If you keep looking at wrestling like that you're not going to have fun with it
WWE is gonna be like WCW go out of business supposing that happened well pro wresting is fake, Drew is the evil plankton in WWE that he got screwed the politics behind the scene is the reason WWE is going downhill. I am sick of this entertainment of pro wrestling fake scripted stuff. LIV is the worse WWE champion she is like a porn star lol. Now that Vince is gone it will no longer be WWE…it will die…WWE will go bye bye .
Bro I don't get it, what kind of magical WWE did you watch that was different from the other WWE that we have all seen. What secret era of wrestling are you watching that you can be so sure that this era and the things that are happening right now are not going to be successful even though they are grossing the most money than anything any other era has done before. Instead of trying to Embrace the new era you'll have your looking back at an era that one you can't even reference in name. What is this methodical era of wrestling or company that you watch, that you feel as the work that's being put on is going to put them out of business.
I hate to say it, and this isn't to offend anybody.. But smackdown hasn't been SmackDown since Teddy Long left. Monday night RAW has always been IT.. it's got the best wrestlers and most action.. it's got more of the talent and more promise. It's got the world heavyweight title.. yes that might have been a title that was created later on but still. There is more to see on raw than SmackDown. Smackdown has become more about drama than it has about talent.
Logan Paul could pull off being part time champ if he would even show up part time. Be available every week for promos. Do every PLE. But he can’t even do that. Tag handling has been terrible. DIY deserved better. Bayley also deserved better. I won’t forgive them for having her enter before Piper like she was the contender. Bayley is the third most interesting in the match after Nia and Tiffy with Tiffy being the top draw right now.
Yeah having the title for that long and only defending it twice is fuckin insane It’s even more insane when you know he doesn’t give af about being the US Champion
So we didn't predict Roman will retain for almost 4 years? SmackDown doesn't have top guys ,tell me how you expect Cody or anyone to have a great reign in that environment...
Don't blame Cody, its not his fault. Its Triple H/ Wwe fault for being awful at booking. There are little to no opponents to challenge Cody. That's why there's no excitement with his title reign. Most the heels who can challenge him are on Raw.
Stop saying that because that's what people are doing 😂🙄. You're saying don't watch, but people are tuning out and ratings have been going down. Reigns is the ONLY star on the show.

Roman: *dips*

Why? Even when turn heel, it's too soon and you're still going to compare to Roman Reigns.

Because Cody is boring as hell 😅 and no I’m not a Roman fan (not even close). I just can’t see Cody as main event material.
Cody can be great with the right material
But with what we he has been fed the past few weeks has been TRASSHHHHH
Cody is main event material he’s just not being booked like a main eventer
I agree I think it's also Roman has become an actual top tier guy like as good as it gets Cody is just at best okay John Cena at his worst was better than Cody is now Cena at least always had charisma even with bad or typical booking
Cody boring because he have no opponents to challenge him. Its Wwe fault for booking bad. Cody should go to Raw.
