Taz says he’s really happy for English right now, who was stuck in WWE’s no-man’s land for a while. English and Rusev have developed some unlikely chemistry, and the fans appear to be getting behind the ‘Rusev Day’ gimmick.
Taz was very impressed by Chad Gable’s suplexes in this match, even though some of them looked quite dangerous. He says he can’t knock Gable for that because he made a career out of delivering suplexes that looked dangerous. Someone on Twitter dubbed Gable “WWE’s new Suplex Machine” but Taz wasn’t as quick to give Gable that title. He points out that he puts over young talent basically every day on this show so that’s not an issue, he just thinks talents need to earn those types of titles.
He says that something really needs to happen for Gable and Benjamin right now. He wouldn’t break them up necessarily, but he thinks that there needs to be a major storyline revolving around these two men moving forward. Throwing them in a tag team Championship match doesn’t really do anything for them when their characters haven’t really been developed yet.
Taz says he’s never really been a fan of Lumberjack matches, and last night’s match reinforced those thoughts. He likes the Riott Squad and he wishes that WWE would have kept them separate from the rest of the women on Smackdown for a while longer. He also thinks it’s very clunky that WWE is basically using the same storyline on both RAW and Smackdown, where we’re seeing the rise of a women’s faction.
