WWE Battleground 2017 Review | THE WORST PAY-PER-VIEW OF THE YEAR! 

We knew this would happen though. Raw is their baby. The Smackdown Surge was never going to last.

biiiig show and rybaack, strowmin' n' roman'

JDfromNY206 fire road dogg

JDfromNY206 yes by getting rid of road dogg and hoping Vince and Kevin Dunn die, then only will change ever come

JDfromNY206 lmao great khali I mean I don't hate him but why bring him up.

"oh you are just a bunch of downers, i choose to be positive, some nights we have homeruns others it's a show but the hard work is still there" that usual bullshit.

Jose Caceres "wins and loses don't matter lol"

Travis W that sound's like em

Blame Roaddogg & his shitty booking

weirdfish change in creative plain and simple

Trunks Fucked Yo Bitch there's a possibility that Vince wasn't paying much attention to it back then and has recently started throwing his weight around more often. Just like how he didn't pay attention to Talking Smack and after one show it got canceled from being a weekly show.

Kain d. Badguy GO DO IT NOW they are our only saviors

Oh, heck, I can't wait to see Bryan Alvarez rip this pay per view to shreds.

Wally Rosario right bro

Wally Rosario I don't like the pacing of NJPW. But after watching last night's PPV, I might have to give NJPW world a chance..

+lil115slayer you definitely should especially for the G1. There are gonna be matches that blow you away. definitely watch New Japan especially now during the hottest point of the year except Wrestle Kingdom

lil115slayer pacing ? Huh? Pacing is fine every wrestler there wrestles different.

Jimi Hendips good for you. You can sleep easy knowing you didn't waste your time or money on this PPV

Jimi Hendips I love your avatar pic. Used that myself on Facebook a few years ago haha Haaaaaave mercy!

Jimi Hendips 😂😂💯💯

Same just channeled this morning , im done with this childish shit

Same here. Cancelled it last night. Not worth my money at all!

I wouldn't cancel it. They have attitude era matches on there.

eric garcia Totally sucked!

eric garcia I love Nakamura and Corbin's decent, but these two have zero chemistry with each other. Feud should have ended tonight.

I have never seen Nakamura prior to WWE. I keep hearing how great he is, but so far I have seen very little to write home about. His entrance is memorable, but in the ring he throws a few knees and not much else. Perfect opponent for Boring Corbin. :)

jayfore RU-vid Shinsake's NXT debut vs Sami Zayne, if you haven't seen it already.

jayfore then educate yourself I mean if your a fan good look him up you have the internet use it. I hate that excuse

Except the two future hall of gamers the only people over on smackdown are AJ and Nakamura. That shake up ruined that brand so badly at this point they might as well give Ziggler another push

Famers* my bad

Wally Rosario How did it ruin the show when they got way better talent than what Raw got. The reason the show sucks is because of Road Dogg's shitty writing

I know that's your opinion, but I'll respectfully disagree. I find it hard to believe that a few changes in talent is responsible for SDLive's downfall. Unless they changed/switched writers, I don't think the shake-up is to blame because SDLive has just as many talented superstars as Raw does.

The shakeup didn't ruin Smackdown. The writing has.

Nathan Woods Honestly at this point we should just watch another wrestling show cause every single time and every year wwe continues and continues and continues to fail to give us what we want.

Lotus Hulkenberg you sleeping was more exciting than that match

Razor Smith I think that's a bit much. I wouldn't say any of those people got buried but their matches or finishes to their matches left a lot to be desired

Razor Smith This pay per view will be a forgotten memory in a month or two. Maybe in a month or two Smackdown Live will turn it around. I think getting a dynamic talent to shake things up a little bit will help. Seth Rollins would be great addition. They could trade for Rollins and Raw can sign Cena. Then Smackdown can feud Rollins with Styles, Nakamura, and Kevin Owens. Plus one of those four could take the belt off Mahal.

Legit same I didn't get past them getting out of the ring and I am so glad I was out before the punjabi prison

i speeded up match 1.5x to avoid the slumber 😂

bigb860 I feel bad for jinder he has to know he's does not belong in the higher tiers that wwe is putting him

I'm not saying he could never get there but you can't be a nobody, then out of no where, win a couple of a matches and become the champion. There's no story or rise, which is why no one's buying it.

That Styles was decent . Not good not bad but terrible finish Owens headlocks just kills the interest in the matches

Sai Sunny Owens' headlocks are the best and most entertaining restholds you will ever see. There is always variation. Fact is: You NEED restholds or episodes of slow pace for proper storytelling. A match can only get fast and exciting when it has slow parts. You have to build tension. Of course you can screw up pacing. But Owens and AJ are way too good to fail at this. Jinder and Orton failed. The beginning was awful. I liked the second half, but the beginning...

Sirion 3 headlocks in a span of 15 minutes means you don't give a damn

Sirion and you don't need long draw out rest holds to tell a story

Chris Ayeni The best part of the roster is the tag team division? WTF are you talking about? And you left off alot of people on the Roster. The Roster now is better than it was before the shake up

The best booked part of the roster is the Tag Division. Yes. WWE Title Scene? A joke. Jinder gives the same promo week in week out and neither him no Orton are exciting enough to make the feud work and we all know Cena is winning at Summerslam. Fun. US Title Scene? Better. You could potentially have the likes of Nakamura, Styles, KO, Zayn and even Corbin for now all go after it but WWE is still playing hot potato with the title. Women's Title Scene? After the weeks and weeks of multi-woman matches with no clear direction only now are we actually getting what seems to be a definite feud for Naomi. Carmella is interesting too as MITB holder but that's only her. The likes of Lynch, Charlotte, etc... are still directionless with no real feuds in hand atm. Mid-card? WWE not doing enough with the likes of Dillinger, English, etc... The mentioned two just sorta fight on pre-shows but they barely have any interaction on SD to constitute a feud. The Mike-Zayn stuff is decent but that's it. Tag Team Division is the one with constantly good matches and promos. Usos have been booked as fantastic and credible champions with New Day as worthy challengers. They always have solid PPV matches too. Breezango is entertaining and the intrigue surrounding who their attackers are (either AOP or Harper/Rowan IMO) is good. Even Ascension is actually in a funny role when they show up on the Fashion Files. So yeah I'd say the Tag Scene is probably the best booked division on SD right now.

Chris Ayeni Okay I thought you meant the best as talent wise... But yeah as far as booking goes you're right it's been the tag team division. Once they take that title off Jinder & Baron cashes in on whoever beats him (Most likely Cena) the World title picture will be back as the main title.

Oh I see. Nah. Honestly atm the US Title/upper mid card scene has the best talent (Cena, Rusev, Owens, Styles, Naka, Zayn, Corbin). But yeah it does seem that SD is directionless atm especially since the US Title honestly feels more like the main belt than the actual WWE title. Hopefully you're right and things do pick up after Summerslam. Some new feuds and new title holders could shake up things and re-invigorate the show because at the moment SD just feels dull.

Gerry McWilliam Yep Vince is moonwalking

THE GOOD GUY only if the WWE finally books a show that is well liked across the board. And that is a BIG "if".

Best decision you've made

Nicolas Hernandez Euron Greyjoy had a Wrestlemania worthy entrance

imsteezy1 the ship scene was awesome. I hate waiting another 6 days for the next episode

Nicolas Hernandez bro, game of thrones was fuckin sweeet sams curing jorah !

All Hail John snow

Nathan Johnson You should at least catch the New Day vs. Usos match. Only good match on the show.

Jose Caceres He's the same guy who was booking smackdown in 2016. So he can be great. But he isn't doing any good to smackdown

Roaddogg was traded to Smackdown in the shake-up (behind the scenes), and Smackdown's headwriter was given to Raw. Coincidence?

Amey Singh Um no it was Ryan Ward he was lead writer now he was the reason the show was great now he's on Raw, Road Dogg lead writer on Smackdown

StarryStarryNocturne Are you serious or trolling? Because he's been on SDL from the start

Well if you use that logic the amount of bullshit and interference is exactly the kind of main event shenanigans he's used to... remember all the times DX would interfere in a HHH match in the 2000s ?

It used to be the BexPlex.. But ur Right, though..

OneeChan Fucked Me *great

DarkHpokinsn Gaming Decent at best*

nothing above an abortion in the ring*
