Why would Summerslam being near make it be expected that raw would be the better show right now? 

Raw has the more compelling major stories at the moment. I mean you got Punk/Drew (and Seth) then Mami, Liv and Dom then Gunther, Damien then Bron, Sami (and Ilya) then the Sicks and whatever the hell they’re doing with Gable and his folks.

Smackdown has the bigger overarching story with the Bloodline but they’re slow burning it so it’s a bit repetitive. Roman’s return is gonna his like crack when it happens though.

The biggest reason is that third hour lol.

Therein lies the real reason. Smackdown is missing their  biggest star. The show has much better pacing when he’s there and the show just has a better flow to it.

People had the same complaints about Roman until it suddenly hit.

Pro wrestling is seeing that turn coming a mile away and still having fun with it lol. 

[AUDub 11,784]

Finally pulled the belt off of Sami. A run that went a little too long. Luckily it ended up with the right guy too.

Paul is just ridiculous. That top rope springboard moonsault was absolutely gorgeous.

I get him not being likeable irl and all that but his work rate is amazing and he just gets the psychology of the business like a guy that’s been doing it for years.

Never seen a more natural pro wrestler from scratch when coming in like him.  Just crazy how well he's grown to it.  Kudos to him for sticking with it. 

[AUDub 11,784]

Perfectly booked so far. 

[AUBwins 10,257]

What did Dom have to promise his wife to allow that? Lol 😆 🤣

She’s the real hero in all this. 

[AUDub 11,784]

Plus we all know which side of the family Dom got it from.

[AUDub 11,784]

“We need to flip Dom heel”

”he’s already a heel”

”ok how do we make him even heel-er”

[AUBwins 10,257]

"We'll give him a 1,000 bonus if he can kiss Liv"

[AUBwins 10,257]

Then Dom knew he'd likely only get 1 so he made it count 😆 

[AUDub 11,784]

I’m kind of ambivalent on this one. Not a big fan of either. SD women’s division is a bit boring lately. 

[AUDub 11,784]

Ooh I like this twist. 

[AUDub 11,784]

Eh could have done more with that.

Again, SD women’s division is boring. 

[AUDub 11,784]

Alright now here we go. Hope this pays off after an amazing buildup. 

[AUDub 11,784]

I really don’t know how this one ends. Head says Drew should go over but either would be good.

Drew sure is getting a lot of heat on Punk for the eventual victor though. 

[AUDub 11,784]

I am so sports entertained right now. 

[AUDub 11,784]

This is some or Priest’s best work in the ring since he’s had the title, and it isn’t all Gunther. He’s having a genuinely good match.
