Maybe get Cima in there since he'd be facing Omega at the next show? I can't really think of a proper replacement for PAC from their roster who isn't preoccupied (Moxley).
Feel like it might be tough to get CIMA on such short notice.
Maybe MJF?
Don't feel he'd fit well with the Lucha Bros.
Oh that actually got me thinking. Just put Luchasaurus in there for max lucha shit. That or give someone like Sammy or Sonny a chance to shine
I'm trying to think of someone who they want at that level, not necessarily that fits the match just as a match. I don't think they have Sammy or Luchasaurus in the same "tier" as the main event guys. They seem to really be getting behind MJF.

Because Vince thinks that its still possible to find the next Trish/Sable, and that people only watch because they may find the names you listed incredibly attractive, in ring skills be damned.
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I feel like this is a huge blind spot for WWE in general. Vince fucking loves his blondes to the expense of the rest of the women on the main roster right now. Becky and Bayley are the sole exceptions, and I can't help but imagine that Bayley is going to just be fed to Charlotte again.
NXT isn't much better right now, just in a different format. If Shayna retains on Saturday, the NXT Women's Division is going to be in incredibly deep shit booking wise. Because logically there should be no reason for Shayna to retain anymore, considering she's completely leveled EVERYONE ELSE in the division.
This is probably a lukewarm take, but AEW is doing a lot better with what women they do have right now. I feel like while the AEW Women's Roster (incl. guest talents) is weaker on an even playing field, they still have a fairly significant edge over WWE simply because they are going to push a wider variety of women. Where in WWE, Vince is on an eternal quest to find another Trish/Sable, while also beefing up Charlotte's title reigns. Which suffocates everyone else.

No one is in the same tier as them that's available unless they'd want to insert Page for some reason. I guess I have to concede MJF the next logical choice if they want someone closer to that level but they also seem to want to similarly push Havoc and Jungle Boy too so maybe their good candidates as well.

i have to imagine they taught him how to do a destroyer, that'd be fun
Jebailey about to sacrifice for this business

So in "water is wet, sky is blue" news, WWE cancelled another Smackdown house show on Monday due to the Wildcard Rule.
They cancelled the one yesterday so Reigns could run in AFTER his cousin got his ass beat, and so there could be that ridiculously long Ziggler/Kofi shit. Vince is out of his fucking mind
With this whole 'work the boys' thing and Sami.
Why would that even be something you would lie and manipulate your employees about?
Fuck is wrong with them.

I mean...they've been doing that since the Lesnar/Orton thing.
Jake Strong getting the belt at the end aside, I actually really enjoyed LU. I even thought the brief Sexy Star reign was fine even though that's kind of not great in hindsight. The Cueto Cup in season 3 was a really fucking good tournament. People seemed to really like it in season 1, but Meltzer started turning on it and everyone else just kind of did too, but I always thought it was super fun. I wasn't a fan of how they handled contracts, but everything actually on screen was always pretty cool. Lucha Underground was my first exposure to wrestling outside the WWE, and I'll always appreciate it for that.
I think the "Will they, won't they" delay before Season 2 followed by a severe drop in quality did more damage to that show than anything else. Season 3 was a pretty good rebound and the Season 4 was just batshit insanity, and not in the good way.
I can't say too much bad about Season 4 though, they gave Marty the fucking belt (even though the season/series ends with Jake Strong holding it)
Nikki has been on Raw the last 3 weeks and Carmella has gotten a lot of screen time lately as well. As has Mandy & Sonya.
Oof
Not good
lmao
The problem I have with this is that you can just see how much more effort is required by Gallagher than Humberto here. lol
Sure
But at worst it should look like each guy is giving equal effort. When I'm significantly more impressed by the guy taking the move than the guy giving it, there's a problem. lol
