This second of four videos from Chair Shot Reality on this episode 345 is about the WWE Women’s division on both brands and SmackDown Live. Here’s an excerpt of the Women’s debate:

Juice Springsteen:
In secondary feuds, I would have to say Smackdown has the edge right now, with a better talent
pool that can put on better matches right now, which showed two strong Women’s matches on
the pay per view [Tables, Ladders & Chairs] for the title feud, it’s almost a toss up, because I
love the Sasha [Banks] and Charlotte stuff, but it’s been dragging on for too long, but right now
they keep doing different matches so it’s like a legitimate feud. They’re doing an IronMan match
now; they’ve done a Hell in a Cell match, so, difference being, Smackdown not having any long
term feuds.
Justin LaBar:
Alexa Bliss is one of the brightest spots for Smackdown right now, but again, Smackdown, less
content, but I do like what Alexa Bliss is doing. I do not want to mistake that at all. Her quote that
she had, “This little bitch now runs the Women’s division of Smackdown,” it was great. It wasn’t
because of profanity that makes the quote standout because of WWE’s PG content, but it’s
because she believed it, like I’m really starting to understand what Bliss’s voice is all about.
Juice Springsteen:
The best part was right after on Talking Smack, she was almost in tears after she won the title,
and then, as soon as Renee talked about Becky Lynch, she shot right back into her promo.
Justin LaBar:
She has a very villainous, comic book kind of look. All that said though, I don’t think I can say
enough about the Raw Women’s division, simply because of what you said. On one hand,
repetition harms it. We’ve seen Sasha and Charlotte go round and round since the brand split
since July, which ironically happened in Pittsburgh. The fact that they broke so much ground:
main eventing Raw, main eventing PPV’s, Hell in a Cell, contract signings, and now the first
ever Iron Man (Woman) on Raw or Smackdown. I saw Sasha and Bayley match for NXT in
October a couple of years ago, they did a 30 Minute Iron Woman match, which was a fantastic
match, but this is going to be on a bigger stage, and for me, it’s coming right after we saw the
best of Charlotte. That segment with Charlotte and her father calling him an SOB, slapping him,
and then the intensity when she assaulted Sasha Banks, that was amazing. That had me
hooked, lined and sinker, like, man, I despise that woman.
Josh Isenberg then joins the show from Florida and speaks on depth issues on SmackDown Live:
If you watch Smackdown Live this past week on the USA Network, you might have questioned a
lot of the booking decisions. From a Hype Bros and Ascension match, with Zack Ryder and
Mojo Rawley picking up the win. Even towards the American Alpha match with Breezango, you
wonder what’s going on with Smackdown Live? Especially when Smackdown Live showcases
James Ellsworth as their #1 guy in the company, but there’s a problem and there’s going to be a
problem, and that’s depth. Whenever you have Miz and Dean Ambrose as your main event, with
AJ Styles taking a day off, and much needed one after doing that amazing 450 splash through a
table, which is definitely one of my most favorite AJ Styles moments in WWE, but you have to
look at the depth and you have to realize that there is no competition for Miz’s Intercontinental
championship. There’s no real competition for AJ Styles as World championship, so what do you
do? Who do you book?
