NXT Won the Week. RAW Built Mania. SmackDown Slipped.

NXT Won the Week. RAW Built Mania. SmackDown Slipped.

NXT may have delivered the strongest statement show of WrestleMania week before WrestleMania even arrived, RAW packed Madison Square Garden with major movement, and SmackDown somehow kept feeling flatter than it should with a roster this loaded. This week we break down why WWE’s black and gold future looked sharper than its blue brand present, why Pat McAfee’s return has fans split, and why Straight Shoot is officially kicking weekly OVW interviews back into gear starting ASAP.
