    Let's be real here- fans of WWE will probably watch both shows.

    There are more wrestlers on Raw that I like but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna watch Smackdown.

    And yeah, splitting up the women's division is stupid.

    Last night's live WWE SmackDown, featuring the WWE Draft and the first show since moving to Tuesday nights, drew 3.170 million viewers. This is up a whopping 53% from last week's show, which drew 2.068 million viewers. It was the most watched episode since February 7, 2014. It also tied this week's RAW audience, which also averaged 3.170 million viewers.

    One of the things I'm most looking forward to is the new sets for each show.

    I honestly miss the old red/blue ropes on each show too.

    It helped to give them a different look/feel, but I understand why they went with the same set and same coloured ropes for each show once it became apparent that the original brand extension was ending.

    I'll not watch both every week, not a chance. Smackdown seems like the slightly better choice to me at the moment. 2 hours, AJ Styles, Cena, American Alpha, Mauro on commentary. Will just watch the youtube videos of Raw most likely, might give next Mondays one a watch though just to see what happens with Finn.

    This should also mean that Survivor Series will see the return of the old 5 on 5 elimination tag team matches now.

    Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Jinder Mahal is being considered by WWE for a possible return.


    According to multiple sources … Jinder has been talking with the company about coming back to help fill one of the new rosters, although it’s been a few weeks since the two sides last spoke.

    PWInsider reported this morning that Curt Hawkins and Rhyno recently inked new deals to return, which makes it clear that WWE is looking to wrangle up former talent.

    Mahal was released from his contract in 2014 alongside Drew Galloway — causing 3MB to disband — and since then the 30-year-old has been mainly wrestling in Texas.

    – As noted on Tuesday, there was a fight backstage between Simon Gotch and Sin Cara at the live SmackDown in Worcester. This was said to be a “quick and one-sided destruction” in favor of Cara.

    I'm pretty sure the other Sin Cara was involved in backstage fights during his time with WWE
