Taz opens today’s show speaking about the final segment of Monday Night RAW from last night. Enzo Amore stood in the middle of the ring and roasted each cruiserweight one by one, as they all just stood on the stage taking the verbal jabs. Taz understands that WWE is trying to make this division feel important, but having all the other cruiserweights stand on the stage together made it feel like they are all ‘less than’ Amore.

He goes on to say that he enjoyed a lot of the verbal confrontation between Neville and Amore. Neville is over right now, and his terrific work as Cruiserweight Champion did a lot to add legitimacy to that Title. Amore is obviously very good on the mic, so the interaction between these two men makes for very interesting television.

Taz didn’t consider last night’s final segment to be a double turn with Amore and Neville. Amore is slowly turning into a heel for sure, but it’s been happening for weeks now. His attitude and boastful nature has slowly turned the fans against him, but the turn hasn’t been cemented just yet. Taz doesn’t think Neville’s character is going to change at all and if the fans start cheering him, that’s okay too.

Taz says that Mickie James is one of the most underrated performers on WWE’s roster right now, and her promo last night was terrific. Her and Alexa Bliss had a great in-ring segment, and he likes that WWE creative is implementing ‘shoot-style’ content into the Women’s division now as well.

Bischoff is joined on today’s show by his co-host Nick Hausman.

Bischoff says he wasn’t surprised to see Lesnar retain his Universal Title at SummerSlam because he wasn’t buying into the rumours that Lesnar was going to drop the Title and head to UFC. Dave Meltzer is now reporting that WWE plans on having Lesnar take on Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34, but Bischoff would personally rather have Cena take on Reigns at ‘Mania.

He thinks it’s strange that WWE’s doing Cena/Reigns & Lesnar/Strowman now instead of saving those matches for WrestleMania, because he thinks fans would get behind those matches more than Lesnar/Reigns. In spite of his thoughts on this matter, he’s happy that WWE is at least planning months in advance so they can suitably serve these two men and build a convincing and intriguing storyline.

Bischoff comments on the rumoured backstage heat on Baron Corbin. Apparently WWE has been upset with Corbin’s use of social media, and Bichoff says that’s why he stays away from texting or tweeting about business because text is easily misinterpreted. He also points out that WWE loves their talents to utilize social media, and it can be difficult for heels to do that without getting into a dispute from time to time.

Taz says that he enjoyed the different open to Smackdown Live last night. All five women who are competing in the Money in the Bank Ladder match next month cut promos in an old school ‘cold open’. He believes that from time to time, it’s a good idea for WWE to open their shows in different ways like this in order to keep fans guessing.

The only thing Taz didn’t like about these promos is that they all felt very scripted to him. He understands that each of these promos were very short, and it would have been tough for these women to ad lib promos that short.

He also says that by opening the show like this, WWE made their Smackdown Live Women’s Championship feel very important. Later in the show these five women went all out in a crazy brawl before Shane McMahon came to the ring and announced the first ever Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Taz thinks this is a great idea, and he’s looking forward to watching this match.
