RAW got right to it. From the get go, Monday's show featured a litany of new performers making their bow on Monday night television. Some for the first time, others for the first time in a long while. Whatever the case, with main event caliber guys, a midcard champion and top quality female talent, RAW certainly had our attention. Not to mention Braun tipping over that ambulance was friggin' fantastic. Oh and we've got the treat of Byron Saxton and JBL reuniting on Tuesdays. Hope you've got your mute button at the ready.

New Blood, Blue Blood

Shinsuke Nakamura. Tye Dillinger. Two fan favourites from NXT. Two new SmackDown superstars. Both men made their respective debuts in varying forms - one with a pinfall victory over a jobber, the other with merely their spectacular entrance. What does the future hold now that they're facing a whole new set of opponents?

So...is AJ a good guy or a bad guy? Or is he simply the guy? Shane McMahon would probably opt for the latter with both men showing mutual respect and as Styles moves on from his Mania program with the third generation McMahon, the two men showed respect was not simply given, but most certainly earned.

TONIGHT!
Once More, With Feeling

It's SmackDown's time to shine. They've lost their secondary champion, one half of their main event title picture and the stand out performer in their woman's division. But that was Monday. Today is Tuesday and today, SmackDown gets to show off its new talents. Who'll be making that move from the Red Mondays to the Blue Tuesdays? And who'll make their presence felt?

So, In the Immortal Words of Heath Ledger's Joker...

Can't wait for Bryan to come out and say he traded everyone last night for the Cruiserweight division and Dana Brooke and then a report from Meltzer comes out saying it's all part of a plan to make Mojo the WWE Champion by the end of the year so he can work with Gronk at WrestleMania 34.

 

[Snugglebites]

This is it. It's finally happening. Eva Marie returns.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

I'll throw an early prediction for Hulk Hogan for SD live.

 

[Galvatron]

Rip Owens' beard

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Clean K.O.

 

[BaconBits]

He looks all clean cut and shit for the switch.

 

[Sean Valjean]

So since Otunga wasn't on Raw does that mean it'll only be Cole and Graves on commentary? Because that would be wonderful. Also, where the heck has Mauro been?

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Its True K.O. Preach it!

You really haven't heard about the Mauro situation?

Ask JBL....

 

[BaconBits]

Have KO and Baron ever worked together before?

 

[TJ Matics]

Kev's really a ray of sunshine tonight.

Don't follow the dirtsheets nearly as much as I used to, so I only know what WWE has said (stranded/sick/etc)

In reality, nobody actually knows what the deal is. All of what's out there is pure conjecture.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

FOREHEAD SMACK!!!

Basically he had a bipolar episode and it was brought on by JBL's constant bullying of him. Mauro isn't expected back on TV.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Oh my god, Sami and KO are literally bound together for eternity.

 

[Galvatron]

Still on the same show.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Obvious picks are obvious. Fine, but obvious.

 

[BaconBits]

They really, really needed to keep KO and Sami apart. Sami needs to forge his own deal instead of being tied to KO.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

And then the face that runs the place showed up. They don't want none.

Way too many Canadians for my taste.

Don't be guyist, guy.

Tag match, playas.
