At the behest of Bray Wyatt, The Viper and his The Wyatt Family cohort Luke Harper will look to put their internal divide to rest when they go one-on-one tonight. Plus, an exclusive interview with 5-time Women’s Champion Mickie James.

[ClockShot]

Final Ryan Ward show tonight. Unless he's already gone and Road Dogg is in control right now.

Harper vs. Orton should be good. Pretty excited for Mickie James, too.

[ClockShot]

Quiet thread.

[Savio]

The Wyatt family EXPLODES!

[ClockShot]

I wish they didn't.

[Emperor Smeat]

Already off to a better start than RAW. Opening segment was only a couple minutes long and did what took 15+ minutes for RAW to do last night.

[Savio]

Smackdown should add another person on commentary, possibly Jerry "The King" Lawler.

[Savio]

I wish they didn't.

Me too.

[ClockShot]

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!

[Evil Vito]

Lumberjack match? Looks like we're getting our annual pre-Rumble melee after all!

[ClockShot]

Time to pick a side, Bray.

[ClockShot]

There it is.

[Savio]

Yes! the YEAHHHHHHH is back!

[Droford]

This would have been a bigger deal in the 80s when Orton was in the Wyatt family for 2 years vs 2 months.

[Savio]

I see the split coming at the rumble or the night after.

[Triple A]

It's cool that SmackDown makes a Luke Harper match seem kinda "important"

[Triple A]

Feels like if this was Raw, this entire "angle" would just be Randy Orton fighting a different combination of the Wyatt Family in a meaningless match every week for the past 2 months, sometimes teaming up with someone else in a tag match... maybe even a 6 man tag match

[ClockShot]

Harper's pretty damn good.

I just hope this match isn't 1-sided in Randy's favor.

[Droford]

Luke needs to Examine his zipper

[slik]

Just tuning in!


So far so good.

[RP]

kinda got to watch The Flash right now.

[slik]

Yes

[Emperor Smeat]

FLYING NOTHING RKO looked really awkward.

[Savio]

I hope when Randy breaks from the wyatts he remains heel

[ClockShot]

Lame.

[slik]

good match

[Savio]

Interesting.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Bray didn't give the kiss for the Sister Abigail move.

Really hope Orton is legit staying with Bray and Harper ends up being the one trying to foil the Wyatts out of revenge and hatred of Orton.

[slik]

I like heel Orton better than face Orton. Face Orton only works when Randy still gets to be a dick.

[KIRA]

Bray is supposed to be kinda savvy like knowing things that should be impossible to know
How the fuck is he being snowed by Orton enough to give his loyal no.2 the boot?

If this is a trap this would make it twice bray has been made a fool of in this manner

[ClockShot]

Why hello, Lady in Red Renee Young.

[ClockShot]

After all these years, Mickie still got her old music.

Heh heh.

Gotta admit, she looks great.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at random guy in the crowd screaming "what?" when Mickie claimed she answered the question.

[slik]

Evil, Arrogant Heel Mickie James

[slik]

Oh I like this take on why she is heel, she is sick of hearing about revolutionary the ladies today are, just like 99% of the fans

[ClockShot]

Getting the vibe a good chunk of the crowd has no idea who Mickie James is.

[Droford]

They should have held off on this for WM

[KIRA]

After all these years, Mickie still got her old music.

Heh heh.

Gotta admit, she looks great.

She is only a 2 yrs older than Asuka

[Savio]

lol @ weak kick from Alexa

[Savio]

Mickie needs diff music though.

[ClockShot]

Hate that Twisted Bliss move.

She should stick with the DDT.

[RP]

I dont get why Alexa Bliss is getting saddled with Mickie James. She was doing just fine with out Mickie. Makes no sense.

[Outsider]

Yeah the whole Mickie James random heel return to help someone she has no previous association with is pretty fucking dumb.

Plus, ignoring her NXT return and saying it's her first time in WWE ring for however long it has been is just irritating me.

[Ruien]

Hell ya, Lumberjack match! Alexa makes me want to take my dick out.

[Outsider]

Carmella taking James Ellsworth shopping.

THIS IS WHY I WATCH WRESTLING.

[Emperor Smeat]

This has been bugging me for weeks now. Is the Smackdown table sign purple or just the way the light keeps reflecting off of it?

Everything else in Smackdown is blue except that.

[ClockShot]

I dont get why Alexa Bliss is getting saddled with Mickie James. She was doing just fine with out Mickie. Makes no sense.

Slim pickings on Smackdown.

Natalya & Nicki are occupied with each other.

Carmella & Jimmy Chinless have their thing.

Eva Marie & Naomi are MIA.

Best bet for someone with her star power is to inject herself into the title picture. Kina like Gail Kim's 2nd run with the company.

[Droford]

Lol "what are you Sami Zayn"

[slik]

this feels like a RAW segment....

[Savio]

should have kept the pimp outfit

[Savio]

WTF they cut off his entrance video!

[Outsider]

this feels like a RAW segment....

That's harsh man.

[Emperor Smeat]

Even Smackdown does "The Makeover of ..." segment better than RAW. Only took them 1-2 weeks to get a new look for Ellsworth unlike Emmalina still waiting on RAW.

:lol: at his new look though.

[Savio]

Also I don't think the Baron character should be posing

[Triple A]

DirecTV Now shitty streaming service making this unwatchable 4 me again... prob just gonna use illegal streams from now on smh.......

[DAMN iNATOR]

From James Ellsworth to #SlamMasterJames. I LOL'd when the guy working in the store commented "It's a choice".

[Outsider]

Legitimately not sure who at lest two of those guys are.

[slik]

@ Triple A

She said she is back b/c she is sick and tired of hearing about the women's revolution like she never existed in the first place. She said she hates every other diva except Alexa Bliss b/c Bliss is cool. Becky then ran down to the ring but Mickie and Alexa kicked her ass.

[slik]

Legitimately not sure who at lest two of those guys are.

which two, I know who every1 is

[Outsider]

Turns out it was Curt Hawkins.

[Emperor Smeat]

damn I missed a James Ellsworth segment due to buffering/freezing, smh....................

What did Mickie James say to "explain" her return... it froze for that whole segment until Becky Lynch came in... anything important

From PWI's Smackdown recap:
Mickie says she answered the question. She might have been away but she watched WWE. Becky and the women of the 'revolution' act like they were the first athletes. All of her sacrifices meant nothing. They would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for Alexa Bliss.

Renee asks Mickie to explain her alliance and asks if Alexa is part of the 'revolution'.

Mickie says that Alexa has been fighting this since day one. Alexa remembered everything about Mickie. Mickie says she has a lot of respect for Alexa because if it wasn't for Alexa, she wouldn't be here.

She says that Becky remembers to say she is the first woman picked. She says the hell with the revolution, this is the first step of the Reinvention of Mickie James.

[ClockShot]

I can picture Slater winning this.

[ClockShot]

Not anymore.

[Savio]

Aww wish Rhyno won

[Outsider]

The other one was just Fandango wearing different trousers.

[Emperor Smeat]

For someone who's entire gimmick is being full of hype (and possibly caffeine), Mojo's new gear looks very plain or non-hype worthy.

[RP]

DONT HURT MOJO!

[ClockShot]

I know Smackdown is good. But damn, forgotten about most of those guys in that match.

[slik]

Mojo Rawley winning Battle Royal seems like something new SD headwriter Road Doggie Dogg would do...ugh

[RP]

As soon as Mojo won that, my dog farted

[Outsider]

80% of that Battle Royal was people who have been brought up from NXT and then forgotten about.

[DAMN iNATOR]

damn I missed a James Ellsworth segment due to buffering/freezing, smh....................

What did Mickie James say to "explain" her return... it froze for that whole segment until Becky Lynch came in... anything important

She listed her accomplishments in WWE (5× WWE Women's Champion, Divas Champion) and said she watched WWE while she was gone from the company, and then went on a anti-Becky/Women's revolution rant and basically called Becky overrated and said Alexa was better than her basically, called Becky out and while Becky ran to the ring said if she wants to cry, she will give Becky something to cry about! Becky and Mickie brawl for a hot second and then Alexa comes in and Alexa and Mickie beat down Becky and Mickie says one last thing, Mickie's music hits and the segment ends.

[Savio]

Yeah... they fucking date.

[Savio]

80% of that Battle Royal was people who have been brought up from NXT and then forgotten about.

I counted 100%

[Outsider]

I counted 100%

I didn't count Rhyno or Fandango.

I would count Baron Corbin but that would mean working out percentages for a total of eleven people and that sounds hard.

[Ruien]

What? Most of those people are not new NXT people. Unless you count everyone that was in NXT as a NXT guy. I mean, everyone comes from NXT now because that is the way the system works.

[Outsider]

What? Most of those people are not new NXT people. Unless you count everyone that was in NXT as a NXT guy. I mean, everyone comes from NXT now because that is the way the system works.

I think my point was how badly they are being used since NXT rather than the importance of the fact they were from NXT.

[Savio]

I agree with Styles

[Ruien]

I think my point was how badly they are being used since NXT rather than the importance of the fact they were from NXT.

Oh.

[Savio]

NEW CENA GEAR!

[Droford]

They should have had AJ sticking out from a window in the Alamo itself

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Mets colors? Lol.

[ClockShot]

"See you sunday Kenny Omega" sign.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

[slik]

Not that I would ever wear a Cena shirt, but this one is like extra, extra, extra bad.

[Emperor Smeat]

Cena's new gear being based on an actual sports team (Florida Gators) solves the problem of what would happen when the WWE ran out of colors for him. Wonder which team is going to get copied next for Cena's future new shirt/merch.

[ClockShot]

Fuck you, Today show hosts.

[owenbrown]

"See you sunday Kenny Omega" sign.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

What's the over/under on the time before that sign gets confiscated?

[Droford]

That's a good point

Its basically Pats vs Falcons

[Ruien]

Lol at the two people from the talk show. Hilarious.

[RP]

John Cena using his black voice now.

[Outsider]

John Cena using his black voice now.

Homie.

[ClockShot]

Cena's better than the indy scene.

I see.

[Triple A]

John Cena forced "wigger" (sry for using racist term) voice driving me insane

[Ruien]

Love Cena. Break into a rap!

[Savio]

Cena's promo doesn't make sense he shouldn't say he is below him etc AJ is 3 up on him.

[slik]

Cena destroying AJ's accomplishments in a promo seems like something new headwriter Road Doggie Dogg would do...

[Emperor Smeat]

This gatekeeper-like stuff with Cena would work a lot better if he was heel or turning into one and not the usual of him just shrugging off his opponent or their accomplishments being meaningless.

[ClockShot]

So I'll ask the question.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SUNDAY?!

[Black Widow]

Cena will always suck.

[Ruien]

Anyone watching the new Randy Orton tv show after Smackdown? Shooter turned out to be really good so I am going to give it a go.

[ClockShot]

Does he have eyes on (Jack) Swagger?

We still can't find him.

[Triple A]

worst theme ever in wrestling history

[Black Widow]

Ziggler sucks!

[Ruien]

Would love for JBL to comeback for a Mania match with Dolph.

[Ruien]

Oh crap. I may get my wish.

[ClockShot]

Hey, glow girl has resurfaced.

[Ruien]

Crews seems like he could be amazing but they put their weight behind Boring Corbin.

[Outsider]

Things I don't care about are happening.

[KIRA]

Return of the glow

[RP]

I also just got the worst email anyone could ever get.

Something about making my penis bigger.. lol.. these guys lol.. i mean what? i mean? lol?????

[KIRA]

Crews seems like he could be amazing but they put their weight behind Boring Corbin.

Crews needs a better finisher and a personality

[DAMN iNATOR]

John Cena forced "wigger" (sry for using racist term) voice driving me insane

Hey, that's exactly what it is and it annoys the hell out of me too!

[slik]

Is the 1st John Wick movie really good? 2nd one "looks cool" IMO

[ClockShot]

Is the 1st John Wick movie really good? 2nd one "looks cool" IMO

I asked this in the Raw thread last night.

Nobody answered.

[Black Widow]

Is the 1st John Wick movie really good? 2nd one "looks cool" IMOYeah it's worth watching.

[slik]

It's been a long time since we've seen Naomi's entrance!

[Ruien]

Well they never actually gave him a gimmick
Finisher I agree with.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Mauro stole slik's "CENA NUFF" catchphrase after Ziggler/Kalisto not once but twice.

Also @AAA: THIS is the worst wrestling theme ever not whatever you were referring to earlier.

[RP]

Thank God Naomi has returned.

[ClockShot]

Nattie got jumped.

[RP]

I'm less interested in this backstage fight and more interested in where Naomi is returning from.

[Emperor Smeat]

So Naomi wins by default? ... guess not.

Edit: guess so.

[ClockShot]

Who else is there?

[RP]

Is Naomi doing slave talk?

[KIRA]

....Tamina

[RP]

Look at this sexy piece coming out omg. Getting my penis out.

[ClockShot]

Thanks for coming, Naomi.

She's not growing on me. I'm growing a third leg thinking about her though.

[Black Widow]

Yeah going to the 2 woman show on Raw would be better.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Which theme, Naomi's?

Naomi's theme is very good!

I hate the stuttering on the word "amazing". Makes me want to pull my hair out.

[Outsider]

What do you mean

This post doesn't really make sense

She would be obv completely wasted on Raw imo

The Smackdown Women's division just isn't that good, particuarly compared to RAW. Should have been like the Cruiserweights and kept as one division on one brand to give it more depth. Would mean Bliss had a better selection of opponents rather than just Becky Lynch.

[DAMN iNATOR]

What do you mean

This post doesn't really make sense

She would almost definitely be completely wasted on Raw imo

Yeah, feels like she'd be way overshadowed by Charlotte.

[Black Widow]

Is Nikki the one married to DBry or Cena? You shouldn't be getting them confused unless you are watching 07 videos

[ClockShot]

Nikki :heart: John Cena

Brie :heart: Daniel Bryan

SmackDown "allows her to shine"

It has fewer wrestlers and big stars but they've done a lot better job of using everyone for meaningful stuff than RAW has since the brand split.

The draft basically just gave them NXT and the main roster's women's division midcards outside of Becky and they've slowly been developing them into bigger stars. Only real bust was Eva but her ceiling for success was always going to be low.

[slik]

ty for info @ everyone

@black widow - I know one of them has big tits but I don't pay attention to the bellas...They have always been "bad/bland" at promos and wrestling so I zone them out.

[Ruien]

Raw literally had Nia, Charlotte, Baley, and Sasha. Alicia Fox is a ummm I dunno but she isn't wrestling.

Smackdown has Nikki/Nattie, Bliss/Becky/Mickey, Carmella, and The Glow. All are being heavily utilized besides The Glow which may change. The only reason Raw may be considered stronger is because of Charlotte.

[Droford]

Lumberjacks basically the tag division

I agree Smackdown in general has done a better job and people like Alexa Bliss might not have found instant success, but we're still in the early days of the brand split. They have to turn quite shallow talent pools on both RAW and Smackdown into enough feuds to last a long time. There are only so many times we can see Alexa Bliss vs Becky Lynch or Charlotte vs Sasha. Eventually everyone needs something to move on to, and then a few months later something different after that etc.

Particularly an issue with NXT lacking a huge amount of female talent as well at the moment to call up as well.

Don't get me wrong, if there was one division there would be people who wouldn't get titles straight away, but not everyone can succeed all of the time unfortunately. Success in two years time is still success.

[slik]

sd divas division way better than raw's...raw's is so repetitive

[Ruien]

Smackdown always goes by so quick but I want to watch more.

Yeah the lack of depth on both shows is an issue but should get better once the next crop of NXT women wrestlers are ready within the near future. Do agree with an earlier post it probably would have been better to just keep them on one brand while the other brand got something exclusive in return.

[ClockShot]

Still time for Miz/Bryan at WrestleMania to get going.

Also, Maryse could become a competitor assuming her and Mix ever split up and she goes solo.

RAW, on the other hand, also has Dana, Paige, Summer and "soon" Emmalina.

Wow at Sami's eye bruise during the Tozawa hype package. Didn't remember when it happened and apparently it was from when Strowman bruised him during their feud last year based on a quick online check.

WWE probably should have retaped the stuff with Zayn later.

[Evil Vito]

A good show last night, as I've come to expect from SmackDown.

Harper/Orton was fun. I've been thinking that Orton was going to "break up" the Family from within before turning on Bray and setting up a Mania match - and that seems to be where it could be leading. However, I'd love the idea of Bray and Orton staying together for the long term. A face Luke Harper coming after them for revenge could be a lot of fun if they were to go that route. Eventually he can bring Erick Rowan with him, who is clearly at his best when teaming with Luke.

Glad Ziggler got a decisive, quick win. Kalisto is really good so I wouldn't want to see him get squashed often but in this case I think it was definitely needed to try to sell Ziggler's change in attitude as a difference maker in his performance. Interesting to see JBL get up from the booth again, Ziggler/JBL might actually be a thing that happens at Elimination Chamber. Ziggler should go over in that match but I do hope the build allows him to sell the fuck out a Clothesline From Hell.

Mickie James channeling elements of her 2006 character was good to see. She really, really likes Alexa Bliss (don't we all? :love:) Mickie/Becky will be a great match when it inevitably happens. I'm happy that the SmackDown girls are getting a match at the Rumble.

I'll always be a sucker for the annual brawl on the go-home show before the Rumble so I marked for the ending of the lumberjack match.

[Big Vic]

freeek. Why does Dean have a title. Dude is bland as hell right now. Miz is amazing. Arg.

Probably so Miz can move into the main event scene.

[Volare]

Hell yes.

I'd like to see Ellsworth be a complete ripoff of Enzo:

My name is James Ellsworth and I am 5'8" and you can't teach that!
This here is Carmella she is a beautiful chick and you can't teach that!
Bada-Bing cutest couple in the ring!
WHAT IT DO!?

[Droford]

The 6 woman tag is clearly setup for a Woman's Elimination Chamber match

[Lock Jaw]

Can someone please tell me what this means for this Sunday night?

Thank you.

[The CyNick]

Can someone please tell me what this means for this Sunday night?

Thank you.

Sunday will be a fun show, so check it out!

[Lock Jaw]

Thanks! I will be sure to do so!

[XL]

It means there is no chance (no chance in hell) that a SDL superstar wins the Rumble.

[The CyNick]

It means there is no chance (no chance in hell) that a SDL superstar wins the Rumble.

Are you sure?

[Big Vic]

I'd say a slim chance.

"Slim chance, that's what you got. Slim chance in hell!"

[Blonde Moment]

So I'll ask the question.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SUNDAY?!

Well if Cena wins and the crowd goes for it then in a way Cena was right, A.J's accomplishments mean nothing if a part timer can come in and steal the beklt and the crowd from him with little effort....

[Big Vic]

I don't see Cena wanting to wrestle in an elimination chamber.

[XL]

Are you sure?

Nope. Just thought it was a mildly funny line.

I do wonder how they arrive at a title match for Mania if the EC is going to have the title on the line (rather than #1 Contendership)

[Big Vic]

I could POSSBILY see Bray winning the Rumble and Orton winning at the Chamber.

[Evil Vito]

I could POSSBILY see Bray winning the Rumble and Orton winning at the Chamber.

I could see it being the other way around.

[Big Vic]

The reason I see Bray winning the Rumble is because I view the storyline being Bray wants Randy to lay down for him so he can easily become champion to which Randy refuses.

[XL]

Feel like I haven't seen American Alpha for ages. Where they on last week?

[Big Vic]

Feel like I haven't seen American Alpha for ages. Where they on last week? I don't think so.

[Simple Fan]

They were lumberjack I thought. Maybe not.
