What will be the fallout of this Ultimate Thrill Ride barnburner between Styles and Shane-O-Mac? Will a new level of respect be forged between the two Superstars? Could matters intensify between the two? Or, could Styles find himself fired after all?

Following a several-month conflict that featured betrayals, compounds being burnt and the use of weapons of the apocalypse, Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton’s WWE Championship Match from WrestleMania 33 certainly fit the same mystical mold. But now that The Viper has reclaimed the WWE Championship on The Grandest Stage of Them All, what is next between these two former “brothers”? Will The New Face of Fear come looking to reclaim what was lost? Or, will a new challenger step into the spotlight?

The time is now … for wedding planning, that is. John Cena & Nikki Bella were victorious in their ever-personal matchup against The Miz & Maryse at WrestleMania 33, but that was only the first part of the story, or fairytale, as it may be. The Cenation Leader then shocked both Fearless Nikki and the WWE Universe with perhaps the most epic marriage proposal of all time. What is next for the two love birds?

How will Naomi kick off her second reign atop the Team Blue Women’s division? And who will be the first to step up and try to turn to dim the lights on the GLOW?

Having evened the score after Corbin’s savage attacks leading up to The Ultimate Thrill Ride, will The Lunatic Fringe Dean Ambrose be able to move on? Or, will The Lone Wolf regroup and re-attack, leading to even more uncanny chaos between the two?

Talking points:
*A phenomenal ascent
*The viper reigns yet again
*The proposal seen around the world
*Team Blue is feeling the GLOW again.
*More to come between Ambrose and Corbin?

I'm gonna hold out hope for Nakamura to debut, since he didn't show up on RAW. Also, since Revival got called up last night, I'm gonna say tonight we will see #DIY called up to SD. Also wouldn't mind seeing Shelton Benjamin make his long-delayed return to the blue brand.

Main Event

I was kind of disappointed with the Nakamura debut. He did nothing. Awesome entrance though and I was happy that he's on the blue brand. Just hope they don't move AJ away from him. Let them feud!

No surprise that the Bray and Orton feud is continuing. Harper on Ortons side suddenly? Hmm... he hated him last month. I see a swerve coming, and not a very well hidden one. The Wyatt family will be back together. I'm happy to see Bray in the main event picture so want him to get that title back and have a nice dominating run with it.

There was talk of WWE turning AJ face, which lets face it would be pretty easy to do as he's amazing. Seems that they're going that way.

Good show though. Smackdown knows how to use their time properly.

He doesn't need to do anything, it's his debut. And if you're holding on to hope for a Styles feud, I'd hold your breath. He's clearly gonna get Miz first (since he interrupted him) and they'll probably save AJ Styles for SummerSlam. It's a huge match, I don't see them blowing it on a shitty SD PPV.

I think as long as they do the feud people will be happy. Doesn't have to be now, but at least do it at some point before Styles get's too old. Although I imagine he'd like like HBK and awesome whatever age he is.

As for Nakamuras debut, would have been good to see him boot Miz in the face. It would be difficult to get a bigger pop than he did, but that would have done it.
