SmackDown LIVE preview, Aug. 29, 2017: Will Owens be on the warpath?

Last week, Kevin Owens thought he had a surefire way to regain the United States Championship from AJ Styles after choosing Baron Corbin as the special guest referee. However, when The Lone Wolf bailed after his refereeing skills were called into question, Shane McMahon stepped in for the pinfall that saw Styles retain the title. Now that he can no longer challenge for the title, how will KO react? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Will Kevin Owens be on the warpath?

Is Dolph Ziggler ready to show off his star power?

[rez]

teaming up with Rusev....really?

Orton/Shin win, obvi

[ClockShot]

Jinder is missing his magic carpet.

[ClockShot]

KNEEL! AND BEG!

[slik]

The Singh Brothers can bump better than can promo. Like way better.

[ClockShot]

Quiet thread tonight.

[Lock Jaw]

Boring start to Smackdown.

[rez]

sigh...AJ isn't going to get an open challenge off and if he does, Owens interferes.

[Lock Jaw]

oh no

A new theme

[ClockShot]

Oh. Shelton & Chad get a new theme.

[rez]

nice. guaranteed victory for gable and benjamin

[Emperor Smeat]

Decent new theme for Gable & Benjamin. Alphas theme was better though.

[ClockShot]

Should have brought back AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

[Lock Jaw]

I hope Shelton goes heel on Gable

[ClockShot]

I hope Shelton goes heel on Gable

Don't say that. Chad Gable's been through enough shit as it is.

[A.J.K]

Chad Gable > Jason Jordan

[Lock Jaw]

I want Gable to continue his burgeoning singles career..... people were getting into him more than they were Jason Jordan......

A bloodfeud vs. Shelton Benjamin could solidify him.......

[owenbrown]

theme should have been this...

4M7mkOB_q44

or this....

Cxmh4ncDyyY

[rez]

I know SDL! lacks hard in tag teams but Benjamin needs in the uppercard.

[Lock Jaw]

Shelton looks younger than the last time I saw him (some ROH show)

[Emperor Smeat]

Good match overall for Shelton's return.

[ClockShot]

Paydirt.

[ClockShot]

Shelton got a bit of ring rust. But not a bad match for his return.

Almost botched jumping over the top rope there.

[ClockShot]

Didn't take long for WWE to jump on the Hurricane Harvey bandwagon.

[rez]

There won't be any new Game of Thrones until 2019 :(

[Lock Jaw]

I like when AJ Styles' theme says "ain't nobody"

[rez]

I like when AJ Styles' theme says "ain't nobody"

:heart: double negatives

[Triple A]

Baron Corbin is a good heel tbh

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder who Tye pissed off to be treated this badly since getting called up.

[ClockShot]

God damn, I expected that go to longer.

[Lock Jaw]

Thanks for coming Tye Dillinger

Living up to the match quality of Cena's Open Challenge for sure

[rez]

I also love Corbin fails.

[Triple A]

Where is this crowd

Like 93872597853798235897523x better than last night's horrendous crowd

[Lock Jaw]

Handsome Rusev & Hardbody Mahal reunited

[Lock Jaw]

Oh yeah, forgot about Bobby Roode already

[rez]

Where is this crowd

Like 93872597853798235897523x better than last night's horrendous crowd

Little Rock?

[Evil Vito]

Wonder who Tye pissed off to be treated this badly since getting called up.

Probably nobody. Think it just came down to him clearly being ready to leave NXT but Vince not being particularly high on him.

[Triple A]

Who do you guys think Bobby Roode will be "in action" against

[Triple A]

Who is the Curt Hawkins of SmackDown? Or is Curt Hawkins on SmackDown...

[Triple A]

Who is the Curt Hawkins of SmackDown? Or is Curt Hawkins on SmackDown...

Aiden English maybe... but he wrestled him last week

[rez]

Who do you guys think Bobby Roode will be "in action" against

James Storm...they could use something to breath life into the action tonight. :wavesad:

[Triple A]

Sin Cara maybe

Or maybe just a Local Enhancement Talent

[Triple A]

Mike Kanellis...

[Lock Jaw]

I guess Bobby Roode is a face.......

[owenbrown]

[Evil Vito]

Nobody singing now that they're out of smark city

[Savio]

The first part of Sheltons theme reminded me of the forest temple from OoT for some reason.

Wonder why Tye jobbed so quickly.

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably nobody. Think it just came down to him clearly being ready to leave NXT but Vince not being particularly high on him.

Seems dumb but then again makes sense for Vince and Creative in years. Think Triple H mentioned if he had his way, people only get called up if Creative can guarantee them a storyline or direction to work with and not be quickly ignored.

[Lock Jaw]

Poor Mike Kanellis..... skipped NXT to immediately go to the part where he joins the main roster and is subsequently lost in the shuffle as "just another guy"

[Emperor Smeat]

Semi-Glorious match for The Glorious One.

[rez]

I'm hoping Roode makes a fast jump to heel.

[slik]

w/e happened to Sami Zayn

not sure I like Bobby Roode as a crowd-pleasing babyface

[Savio]

Sincerely hope Ziggler shows up in glow in the dark stuff, etc like he promised last week.

[owenbrown]

Time to wish Aiden English future endeavors

[rez]

That was very nice of Owens.

[Savio]

Someone said KO wasn't good on the mic, I disagree.

[Lock Jaw]

Shane gonna send out Sami Zayn to fight him

[rez]

lol

[Lock Jaw]

Didn't Aiden English randomly beat Sami Zayn a few weeks ago........

[Lock Jaw]

lol at the bell actually ringing

[Lock Jaw]

Would have "laughed" if Kevin Owens actually did a good "unbiased" job, and then came out the next few weeks as a referee doing the same, just because he wanted to prove it wasn't that hard.

[Lock Jaw]

New Day vs. The Usos to build up to New Day vs. The Usos!!

[Savio]

What will this mean for a future Sunday?

[KIRA]

Owen teaching refs how to ref

[Evil Vito]

Oh look. Another "push back debut/return" gimmick.

[Savio]

Dolph should be doing all of these things at once.

[Lock Jaw]

THE EVOLUTION OF DOLPHALINA COMING SOON

[rez]

half time time

[slik]

This is a really weird SD Live so far.

[owenbrown]

THE EVOLUTION OF DOLPHALINA COMING SOON

in 2019

[KIRA]

Dolph might be having a breakdown

[Savio]

Really wants dolphs new gimmick to be a time share salesmen for Puerto Rican hotels

[KIRA]

"You want all flash?"

Hasn't he been using that get all my moves in style anyway?

can't imagine him turning that up to 12

[Savio]

Or he can change his name to "Adolph Zigler" carry a tiki torch to the ring and chant "White lives matter"

[Lock Jaw]

I really want to see a storyline where a jobber wins a title, and loses it right away, and then demands his contractual rematch....... only to be told that isn't actually in the contract he negotiated. We then get weeks of vignettes of him with his lawyer trying to renogotiate his deal.

[Lock Jaw]

Two weeks ago they said "Breezango returns in two weeks"......... wonder if they will remember......

[rez]

what's left? a women's match/tag team and then the rusev/peck god versus borton/shin?

[Savio]

JBL said 3 things that the WWE considers to be the same thing.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at where Ellsworth got a gift of flowers from.

[Lock Jaw]

I remember Little Rock crowd being really terrible before...... they should stop going there......

[rez]

if Ellsworth makes more money than me irl i'm sad

[Lock Jaw]

Two weeks ago they said "Breezango returns in two weeks"......... wonder if they will remember......

Awwww yeah. :cool:

[KIRA]

Natalya got a pop

[KIRA]

OOO damn the shot at Corbin

[Savio]

The segment that keeps SDL > Raw is up next :cool:

[Lock Jaw]

Natalya got a pop

Are you sure it wasn't for her shirt?

[KIRA]

Nattie is gonna pull a Maurine Pondarosa and slowly morph herself into a cat.

[KIRA]

Are you sure it wasn't for her shirt?

No.

[Lock Jaw]

Nattie is gonna pull a Maurine Pondarosa and slowly morph herself into a cat.

Would be a premium gimmick. Book it.

[Savio]

Find it odd there were 25 popeyes commercials on raw last night and 0 tonight.

[rez]

Nattie is gonna pull a Maurine Pondarosa and slowly morph herself into a cat.

Nice ref but she's more likely to continue to morph into bad college headaches

http://www.11points.com/images/nattylight/naturalice.jpg

[Lock Jaw]

"Which means she is the only woman who can HAVE ME....."

[Evil Vito]

"UP NEXT: Fashion Files"

So why the fuck am I having to watch a Tamina match?

[Savio]

Come on don't tease us with Fashion Files then make us wait.

[Savio]

She looks like the winner of Tough Enough.

[rez]

That would have worked so much better if Lana was still just a manager..

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at how the jobber got pushed out of the ring.

Lana yelling "Crush" doesn't feel the same without Rusev being involved.

[Evil Vito]

Tamina has never been a good wrestler and turns 40 in a few months. This feels like an unnecessary experiment.

[rez]

SEASON 2

[Evil Vito]

HERE WE GO

[rez]

fuckin lol

[Savio]

lol "that's a title"

Tamina has never been a good wrestler and turns 40 in a few months. This feels like an unnecessary experiment.

I think she is built up to destroy Natty (Or who ever is the womens champ at the time) so Carmella can cash in.

[KIRA]

The intro alone is better than all 3 hrs of RAW

[KIRA]

THEY HAVE SHIRTS

[rez]

ARROWS

[Savio]

https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/prowrestling/images/b/b1/1440377824864.png/revision/latest?cb=20150824005742

[rez]

I bet I could be cooler with 3 pairs of sunglasses

[Savio]

Fashion Files may or may not be a good way to introduce the broken universe.

[rez]

Referee Owens and Fashion Files Season 2 slightly beats out last night's RAW.

This last match is a write off. It'll be racist against Jinder in some way.

[Lock Jaw]

I think it would be good to get a female member of The Fashion Police

[rez]

I think it would be good to get a female member of The Fashion Police

Like a Bat Girl?

[Lock Jaw]

Kind of..... don't know who, though..... Would not want Becky Lynch in that role, but she might be the best "suited".........

[rez]

Dana would be decent but wrong brand and they should be giving her time off right now.....

[Savio]

I think it would be good to get a female member of The Fashion Police

Sounds like we should introduce "cousin olivia".

[Savio]

Really wish Rusev would go over someone for once.

[owenbrown]

damn @ that RKO outta nowhere :eek:

[Blonde Moment]

So Orton wins next week and Nakamura faces Rusev?

[KIRA]

OH NO HE DID NOT

[Tom Guycott]

Who is the Curt Hawkins of SmackDown? Or is Curt Hawkins on SmackDown...

*Curtis

[DAMN iNATOR]

theme should have been this...

b8HllJaDQ4c

Fixed. :shifty:

[XL]

I think it would be good to get a female member of The Fashion Police

Summer? She's got the connection to Fandango.

At this point, I'm convinced that Corbin has been caught whacking off to pictures of Steph or something.

[Lock Jaw]

Summer? She's got the connection to Fandango.

Forgot she existed. Could work.
