However, this past Tuesday it seems that USA Network ran a rerun of an Episode of RAW I have never seen in the Smackdown timeslot.
The Spirit Squad? The Head Bangers? WTF? Why? Retro night?
Are the Spirit Squad actually signed to contracts?
Bad enough they were both on SD LIVE, but both teams were fighting for a chance to be on the Smackdown Survivor Series Team? Does anyone believe that? Does anyone believe they stood a chance? What a waste.
Alexa Bliss actually looked good, getting a pin on Becky in a tag team match. Next week it is finally their one-on-one Title Match, I expect Becky to win.
There were two big stories coming out of SD LIVE, and neither of them were about the Survivor Series Team.
Yes, Miz TV was a nice bit, with Daniel Bryan and Miz going at it again. Bryan announced the team of Baron Corbin, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles. Good Team.
No, the big stories were this:
Randy Orton has joined the Wyatt Family? Why? Is this an attempt to finally legitimize the Wyatt Family? Or, more likely, mind games by Randy in this feud? Either way, Randy looked terrible against Kane in their match. He looked slow, awkward and uninterested. I wonder what was up, or is this style his gimmick with the Wyatts?
The second big story was Dean Ambrose getting another shot at AJ Styles, and this time succeeding. He pinned AJ – with distraction help from Ellsworth – and received another title shot. However, Ellsworth was banned from ringside by Bryan, so will there be fallout from this?
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall this was the weakest episode of SD LIVE since the Brand Split. It was RAW worthy.
RATING: 5.5
