    Hasn’t Logan done enough part-time damage to the belt? I guess Santos is winning to further Knight and Paul’s feud. This is coming from a fan of Logan’s ring work and promos (and NOTHING outside of his wrestling) but Knight needs to take that belt off of him QUICK.

    Am I right to expect Tiffy and Jade to cost each other the match and start a feud? I’d rather Stratton win, but she hasn’t been doing much since her, uh, post about Bianca. I’m torn on the other qualifier. My heart says Indi, my brain says Blair, my gut says Naomi. Sticking to LeRae somehow winning, I doubt they would put her and Indi in the MitB match unless they are going to split, which I don’t think they should. The more I think about it, the more Davenport makes sense. She’s ran into Bayley at least once, and seems to be getting a decent push. My only issue is they really seem to like Naomi and Bayley working together one way or another.

    Edit: just to speak on the United States title a bit more, compare it to what Gunther did with the Intercontinental belt and the US title is a fucking joke.

      Tbf the belt’s been a joke since it’s current design was introduced.

      (Sorry I just loathe it lmao)

        You’ve got me there, but my point is more that it could have been elevated as well, but is instead kidnapped. I know a big problem with the mid card on Smackdown is the lack of the extra hour Raw has, but Knight could easily make it mean more in my opinion.

          Oh you aren’t wrong, was just making an ugly belt crack lol.

          I do want to see him drop it soon as well tho. It was a nice moment seeing him win it and defend it once or twice. Time’s up, get it back on a wrestler wrestler.
