Looks so good!

According to PWI, the official reason why there won't be a new 205 Live episode tonight is due to Triple H and co. giving preference to NXT for tonight's crowd in a pretty good location.

WWE will be taping content for future episodes of WWE NXT tonight as part of tonight's Smackdown taping at the Barclays center. That is why they are not broadcasting 205 Live tonight.

Keith Lee & Lio Rush vs. Tony Nese & Damian Priest are among the matches scheduled. That match will air on 12/25.

[Emperor Smeat]

:| Why does every opening segment for Smackdown these past few weeks have to involve Corbin.

Bryan had a pretty great promo going on and even Miz interrupting it was interesting but now its plummeting downward fast.

[Droford]

Revival - we want to be the best pure wrestling tag team

Vince - hold my coffee

TLC - ladder match
tonight - street fight

[Droford]

Someone's getting that ham thrown at them in this match

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice of Mandy to give Otis a gift of roasted ham for Christmas.

Also don't think that's how the rules for Secret Santa works.

[Droford]

RIP the ham

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor Otis's ham meal. Got destroyed for the 2nd week in a row.

This tag match has not been that good soo far.

Since the ref isn't counting, that ham might still be good to eat via the 5 second rule.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the sweat stain Otis gave to Mandy after that hug.

[Emperor Smeat]

Starting to think WWE legit doesn't know how Secret Santa works since now Sami revealed he's Strowman's Secret Santa.

[Droford]

Missed an opportunity if Braun got a ham for "get these hams"

[GD]

One of her achievements is that she's the first openly Lesbian WWE Superstar.

Is the WWE using white ropes because they're also taping NXT tonight?

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably just part of the Christmas theme for tonight's stage and show and not anything NXT related.

:y:

[Droford]

Wonder why WWE always inserts that rounded red roof into that far shot of the stage

[GD]

lol @ Kofi striking Nakamura's pose.

[GD]

Oh God! Can't deal with Cole saying "Shin".

[Emperor Smeat]

New Day vs. Ceasro & Nakamura was pretty good overall.

Except for Bryan's promo at the start, nothing about this show soo far has been must watch material.

[xrodmuc316]

Big Bucks Dana Brooke with they new 5 year deal and a match against Bayley.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rather see a Dana vs. Bayley feud for the title than WWE trying once again to push Lacey Evans as a big star in the division and her feud with Sasha and Bayley.

[GD]

I'm tapping out.

[Emperor Smeat]

Did some kid in the crowd called Sasha a "stupid ass"?

Also that Lacey vs. Sasha match was terrible.

[Droford]

Daniel needs a new Tron video that doesn't evoke "planets Champion" gimmick

[Emperor Smeat]

These AR graphics WWE uses for entrances and matchups have been mostly bad. Corbin's king theme graphics looked decent but could be better if the royal flags were better positioned or if the crown looked good instead.

[Emperor Smeat]

Main event was very good overall. The ending with Bryan flying over Ziggy and Miz to prevent Corbin from breaking up the submission was cool.

Still doesn't make up for tonight's show being mostly dull and skippable.
