Episode Notes

With the latest WWE Draft in the books, host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini open with a robust discussion about how the SmackDown and Raw rosters have been altered now that superstars have been rotated between the brands along with how WWE handled the draft itself [3:42]. "The Silver King" points out that the Raw main event scene is stacked compared to its SmackDown counterpart, while "Vintage" has concerns about both tag team divisions. The guys also break down WWE's decision to split New Day and swap the tag team titles, namely why the storyline was more offensive to smart fans and kayfabe then the general idea of the decision itself. Over the rest of the show, Adam and Chris breakdown the fallout from SmackDown and Raw [1:04:20], including the main event storylines (Roman Reigns-Jey Uso, Randy Orton-Drew McIntyre), why the Bayley-Sasha Banks intensity has fizzled, how both "The Fiend' Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss have been completely revitalized by their new storyline, and much more.
