<p>Im loving the Survivor Series buildup. Dolph kicked more ass in a 5 minute segment than he did in an entire year. Would have been even better when Kurt was back in the ring with Shane, Orton comes outta nowhere hits RKO and bam, legend killer strikes again. </p><p>

Champ vs Champ matches look good on paper.. But really 3/4th of them are heel vs heel and seriously doubt they have enough chemistry. Baron Corbin and Miz? Mahal and Lesnar which will be one suplex and hes done</p>

<p>I enjoyed Raw and Smackdown this week but some of the booking did my head in. Partly to clear the feud deck for the Survivor Series build and partly because of Vince being stupid.</p><p> </p><p>

Emma took another loss to Asuka instead of feeding her Dana or some jobbers.</p><p> </p><p>

The cruiserweights continue to put on fun tag matches but there's still no tag title for them to fight over.</p><p> </p><p>

Lesnar squashed Strowman to make him look dominant for Reigns at Mania. Finn beat Styles only to lose to Kane so Braun has a strong opponent to beat to get his monster push back on track. Meanwhile Finn is rumored to be a future opponent for Lesnar (Rumble maybe) but will probably be stuck feuding with Bray instead once he's recovered from being sick.</p><p> </p><p>

Most of the SS matches are heel champion vs heel champion and not particuarly good match-ups. Without dodgy finishes, a bunch of champions are going to have to lose.</p>

NXT has been great the past few weeks. Especially the build for a potential match between Aleister Black and The Velveteen Dream, which has been outstanding.</p>

Emma has so much potential and it is a shame that WWE never could figure a way to book her. Summer Rae virtually does nothing for me even from a sex appeal aspect so no feelings on that one lol.</p>

I thought the Asuka vs. Emma match they ran in NXT was Asuka's finest so there is some sense in trying to replicate that on the main roster. But I agree that her release is somewhat baffling given the timing even though there's a feeling of inevitability to the entire situation. It has felt like more a case of when and not if she's getting released ever since the iPad case debacle and subsequent arrest in 2014.

<p>Summer was serviceable in the ring but never got a chance after being injured.</p><p> </p><p>

Emma finally gets on a PPV and has her best match since returning from injury only to be let go. There goes my fantasy booking of an Aussie heel stable on SD.</p><p> </p><p>

Meanwhile Dana and Tamina are still there and I couldn't name 1 good match either have ever had.</p><p> </p><p>

The silver lining is that there are plenty of talented women in NXT. Nikki, Ember, Peyton and Billie are all basically main roster ready.</p>

<p>Lio Rush is in the doghouse, getting blasted by other superstars. The tweet itself is funny but the timing was innapropriate. Not to mention an NXT guy with 1 televised match has no place interacting with or commenting on the main roster on social media. Don't they teach them not to do this on day one in the Performance Center?</p><p> </p><p>
