It\u2019s just past Wrestle Kingdom, which means it is time for WrestleMania season to begin! I wanted to step back and see where WWE\u2019s main roster is going into their most important show of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raw has had in interesting path from last WrestleMania season to this one. The Universal Championship has been held by Brock Lesnar in one of the most disappointing year-long title reigns I can remember. Between a lack of originality in Paul Heyman\u2019s promos (aside from a mid-year highlight with Samoa Joe) and a lack of anything compelling in Lesnar\u2019s matches (including a run of disappointing singles efforts with Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman), Lesnar\u2019s title reign has been as far from epic as possible. Now a match featuring Kane on the horizon and I\u2019m hoping for Braun Strowman\u2019s grappling hook to pull the Raw set down on me before I have to watch it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, for the last couple months, anything on Raw not featuring Brock Lesnar has been great. Cesaro and Sheamus have broken out as a tag team and are near-main event wrestlers. The Shield reunited and brought all of Raw up a level in doing so. Braun Strowman has been the consistent highlight of WWE all year long. The Miz has proven himself to be one of WWE\u2019s top talents on the mic and more than capable of delivering quality in the ring. Elias and Jason Jordan leap off the screen as unexpected creative victories snatched from the jaws of defeat. Even the recent pairing of Finn Balor with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson jumps out as Raw making quality moves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While less can be said about the quality of Raw\u2019s women\u2019s division, the additions of Asuka, Paige, Sonya Deville, and Mandy Rose have been handled well. This division seems ready for the run up to WrestleMania more than Smackdown\u2019s \u201cthrow everyone at one segment\u201d creative approach with women over 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raw is producing quality stories and quality action. It is a rising tide that seems to be sinking Brock Lesnar as his long uneventful title run is mercifully ending.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where Raw is succeeding in everything but the performance of the top champion, Smackdown is only interesting when WWE Champion AJ Styles is on screen. Anything else happening is failing to grab me, and I sort of hate that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shane McMahon is one of my favorite performers, but only in small doses (perhaps in gifs). Daniel Bryan can do almost no wrong in my eyes (except when he is a sexist jerkface on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total Divas\/Bellas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are two of the most interesting wrestlers on the planet. The combination of these four bickering awkwardly every week is killing this show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below Styles, Owens, Zayn, and McMahon, Smackdown is all about awkward conversations between Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura. Neither man wants to be in these segments, but with weeks of TV to burn before the Royal Rumble, this is where they are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A year ago, Smackdown was constantly telling the best stories in WWE. They took a Miz and Dolph Ziggler rivalry and made it engaging. They built up Alexa Bliss from a late-round draft pick to a true star. The Smackdown creative direction was always in the solid-to-great range. A year later, Smackdown is uneven and disappointing. Even with stars like The Usos, Aiden English, and Rusev finding new life, there is more bad than good.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-2679017122\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The women\u2019s division on Smackdown, lead by Charlotte Flair, can\u2019t tell more than one story despite the addition of three new characters. The main event picture for the better part of 2017 was dominated by a misguided effort to make Jinder Mahal a star. Jinder was not ready and the xenophobic strategy employed by WWE to make up for his lack of ability to inspire any sort of human feeling in fans left a bad taste in my mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smackdown\u2019s 2017 was the work of a writing team running on fumes. While the occasionally hit their stride, it seemed to be more in-ring effort from the wrestlers than storytelling support that got them there. 2017\u2019s Smackdown scripts should largely be kept in a binder labelled \u201cbad ideas\u201d for future writing teams to cross-reference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we head into WrestleMania season and the last hurrah of these rosters (I assume WWE does a Superstar Shakeup eight days after WrestleMania again), I hope both brands find their stride. Smackdown could be helped by a Daniel Bryan return, should he be cleared and is already being helped by the existence of AJ Styles. It\u2019s a show that could round into form nicely for WrestleMania.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raw has more compelling pieces to work with, but with WrestleMania season coming, that worries me. What will happen to wrestlers like Elias, who will be pushed down the card (possibly off of it entirely) for part time wrestlers who come in for three months out of the year? How will Braun Strowman find himself in a story worthy of his status as the most compelling performer of Raw?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking at what WWE has to work with for WrestleMania does have me excited. There are a ton of possibilities on the table for this year\u2019s major show. I find myself counting down the days until the Royal Rumble and doubly excited about getting two of them. Wrestling is a great thing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>What I absolutely positively love in wrestling this week:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Braun Strowman\u2019s Grappling Hook<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Look, I know wrestling can be super serious sometimes, and I love that. I also recognize the inherent absurdity of professional wrestling as a performing art and I love when wrestling leans into it. To me, that\u2019s what Braun Strowman\u2019s conveniently place grappling hook was. Add in some truss that should have been secured to some weights or outriggers on the ground and you have a great recipe for disaster. I will never stop loving absurd Braun Strowman stunts and I pray WWE never stops doing them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/uproxx.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/01\/braun-strowman-grappling-hook.gif?w=637&#038;resize=480%2C268\" width=\"480\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>WWE\u2019s Mixed Match Challenge Teams<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; What can I say?

Sami Zayn and Becky Lynch? Could life get any better? Bobby Roode and Charlotte Flair? Holy robes this is going to be fun! Sasha Banks and Finn Balor?
