This happened because WWE is pandering to the Saudis at the cost of the "Women's Revolution". WWE sacrificed literally all the progress it made in women's wrestling for money to hold events in a country that goes against what WWE is supposed to stand for. They've held what 3-4 Crown Jewels in SA and only one Evolution which came across more or less as a mea culpa for excluding women in the previous ones. WWE should have never signed the agreement without stating the entire roster is allowed to perform or nobody. Anyway, NXT made Smackdown one of the best Smackdowns or even main roster shows in general among the best ever. Ciampa, Ripley, Tegan Nox, Adam Cole, there's more personality and charisma in all of the NXT roster than there is in the mains combined.
It's struggles are because they faked the e3 video, lied about the 6 year dev cycle when they built the game in 18 months with literally zero endgame, broken loot system , just ok story and then they continue to lie and lie and lie. Cataclysm is their latest lie.
@gunnyninja: I can speak from doing it for years across Destinys where we went to DestinyLFG to get people to fill the raid groups and people actually taught people the raid step by step via voice even let them take point to get the experience and it would benefit later pugs as it did us. We were cool with wiping because it was all part of others learning and at least for us never had anybody being elitist about it. It's a safe assumption they sold out to the top clans because it would be rather embarrassing to have a pug immortalized. One should never discount the ability of random players to work together. Impossible to bear Dark Hours as a pug no, unlikely maybe.
@gunnyninja: It's because people will use Division2LFG to do the same thing Ubisoft doesn't want to offer despite promising to do so. People used DestinyLFG to pug raids and did just fine. People don't care if it's hard or extremely hard they simple want the opportunity without having to go to a 3rd party site to find people especially since many clans that were once stacked with members have maybe 2-3 online anymore at any given time.
Viking Experience is straight up idiotic, call them the Viking Raiders, Ragnar's Roughnecks anything but The Viking Experience. First they wrecked Andrade Cien Almas, then Mustafa Ali now War Raiders. Foley may be right but it's sports entertainment and am fairly certain nobody from the WWEU was on the phone day and night calling WWE corporate complaining about a group of Viking performers calling themselves War Raiders.
Boss N' Hug Connection is pretty lame and yeah Bayley should ditch the tube men and get herself a new intro and they could easily come up with something more flashy for a tag name or simply Sasha needs a new tag partner like maybe Toni Storm, Dakota Kai, whatever. Either way, the "shake up" is fairly disastrous for SDL unless they make SDL 3 hours and give more opportunities and talent.
