Paige is in no way their most popular diva. Nor is she their most popular woman wrestler.

She may be their most popular English female.

_________________

2nd most popular after Nikki Bella.

I know they're not loved by the hardcore wrestling crowd but they're easily the two most popular with the casual, mainstream crowd.

Paige is very popular. The only one who's more popular is Becky. Nikki is up there.

I think the only reason why the E is concerned w/ her sex life is because they have no lives of their own, so they need to meddle in others. Trips also HATES ADR, so he probably wants to stick it to him as much as possible.

There's no way Becky is anywhere near as popular as Nikki or Paige.

The closest is probably Sasha but not being on Total Divas hurts her mainstream popularity while keeping her cred with the IWC.

Yeah Tits Bella is who I was thinking of in terms of more popular.

Sasha will surpass Paige soon, and Bayley will end up more popular than everyone.

DELETE or DECAY was the hook for tonight's show, and while it wasn't as great as FINAL DELETION it was still pretty good.

No way on Bayley. Not good looking and her overly cheerful gimmick will wear thin on people quickly as a full time WWE performer.

Is it just dead air now?

Isn't the big thing with Paige and Del Rio, is he may have been married at the time, they started being together.

I know that wouldn't be the first time that's ever happened, but in the PG era, could be watching a little more closely

Randy Orton is reportedly not cleared to wrestle tonight (concussion-related) against Bray Wyatt. Possible replacement is Kane.

They need to move at least two mid-carders (Zayn, Cesaro?) over to Smackdown to create some depth on the babyface side.

They need depth bad. Cesaro would be perfect to join Smackdown, especially after he loses the next match to Sheamus.

They could have Erick Rowan pull a face turn & challenge the now competitor-less Bray Wyatt.

Wasn't someone recently saying they were not using AJ right?

They made him the champ tonight.

That match was awesome. AJ is easily the best heel working in the E today.

_________________

I agree, the match was great. I actually like what they are doing on Smackdown.

I feel like they need a little more depth.

The best part was the show ended at 9:30.

AJ has held the NWA, WWE, IWGP, and ROH titles.

Best thing going on Smackdown.

Kevin Owens and AJ Styles are your heavyweight champions in WWE.

The company will be in great hands when HHH takes over.

_________________

2nd best thing going on Smackdown is Health Slater and Rhyno.

So glad they won.

Heel Usos aren't bad either.

_________________

Heath Slater has been a nice surprise.

It was not too long ago that I did not understand why he was still being kept around.

It still amazes me that he is still there and Sandow is gone.

I think they should put Harper & Rowan bak together as a team or at least bring Harper in as a heel. Harper is a good worker and would help deepen the tag division or the heel side, allowing them to bring a couple of faces over to SD!

I also enjoyed Maryse channeling her inner Rick Martel in using hairspray on Ziggler

And the Usos completely changed their look...no facepaint or colorful trunks definitely established their heel personas. Hopefully this serves as a template for a Reigns.

On the subject of Styles, how cool will it be to see him face Rollins, Balor, Zayn, and Owens?

I knew Rusev would interfere.

Yeah, it was a given

Finals of the Crusierweight Classic was tonight.

Semis had Zack Sabre Jr against Gran Metalik and Kota Ibushi against TJ Perkins.

Metalik advanced to the finals in a good match with Sabre, and TJ Perkins advanced in a fantastic match with Ibushi.

Perkins then won and became the new Crusierweight Champion.

The whole tournament was pretty damn fantastic.

There are reports out there, WWE maybe trying to buy TNA

At what point does this become a monopoly?

_________________

Now?

_________________

And I don't buy the rumor.

WWE already has 3 brands and doesn't get anything from buying TNA.

_________________

Why would he even bother? They're siphoning all the good talent away from TnA, TnA's video library is practically worthless. Is Vince that thirsty to make a "Best of AJ Styles" video package?

The rumor came from an article about Billy Corgan trying to buy it outright. He places TNA's value at $40M.



He's delusional if he thinks anyone is paying that for TNA.
