WWE SmackDown Weekly Thread

Love Finn

[GD]

Balor was gold on NXT.

[Evil Vito]

Good for Finn. Finn/Sami feud sounds fun

[Sepholio]

...so whats with the glitches there during that video package? Seemed intentional but not related to the video itself.

Also love how Shotzi not Blackheart comes down in a little tank. I want a little tank.

[Lock Jaw]

Done with my dinner, so I'm out of this

[Evil Vito]

If Shotzi and Nox beat the tag champs again they should’ve just debuted this week

[GD]

Natalya got drums.

[GD]

Oh God! Zelina and Liv are unbearable.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

They gave Apollo Crews a fake accent huh? Hmmm

Meanwhile I see they chose two of the last over, least charismatic women in the company to put belts on. Also Shotzi and her friend already beat these ladies. Why do they have beat them again to earn a title shot?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Oh God! Zelina and Liv are unbearable.

Sweet Jesus kill me now

[slik]

Liv Morgan should be a contender to win MITB imo

[Evil Vito]

If Shotzi and Nox beat the tag champs again they should’ve just debuted this week

Lmao of course

[GD]

Stop screaming Liv.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Good grief it looked like Vega’s had bounced off the floor after that clothesline.

The tag champs meanwhile have list clean twice to a rookie team. They’re looking real strong.

[slik]

Liv Morgan has CENA NUFF of snoretalya

[slik]

So far SD is fine but IDK that I will really watch it every week...

I will probably find Finn matches on YT for 'reasons'

[GD]

lol at Pat McAfee no selling the awards

[slik]

Would definitely attend a SD live tho

[slik]

piping in crowd noise very weird...just mic the crowd, I'm sure they are loud af

[GD]

WWE's piping in crowd reactions, aren't they?

[slik]

why is otis a devious heel

[GD]

If Alex Jones was a wrestler

[slik]

wish heel otis had a cape

[erickman]

i want to see how the fans handle corben he is all but a face now.

[slik]

I know Cena is the plan but I kind of would like Roman vs Big E with Cena as a guest ref tbh

[Triple A]

Damn fell asleep during the first commercial and just woke up to severely depressed looking Baron Corbin... this gimmick seems good

[slik]

Baron Corbin looks like he's been working from home the last year and a half and just found out he has to go back into the office 5 days a week.

[slik]

[Evil Vito]

Lmao depressed Corbin

[slik]

Corbin should be so broke he has to sell his ring gear and wear someone else's that doesn't fit and looks ridiculous

[Jordan]

I am generally not into WWE's women's wrestling but everything else on this show has been pretty good.

[slik]

Corbin should be so broke he has to sell his ring gear and wear someone else's that doesn't fit and looks ridiculous

Corbin so broke he goes on WWEshop to buy one of his shirts for new gear but can't afford it

[slik]

Mysterio and Nakamura have the best entrances tonight

[Jordan]

I hope Nakamaura wins. His new gimmick is pretty sick.

[slik]

would be hilarious if HHH came out during mitb and pedigreed everyone and climbed the ladder for the win

[Triple A]

Pat McAfee seems good... seems like he talks like a real person and hasn't been broken down yet by the WWE system

[GD]

RIP Shinsuke

[slik]

was overall a fine, safe show

[Evil Vito]

Not a bad ep to return back. Having fans was nice.

[Noid]

Smackdown was phenomenal. It really shows how superior WWE is compared to the other guys. Top to bottom fantastic show.

[owenbunny]

Bad Bunny

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I turned it off during the main. It wasn’t bad. I just wasn’t interested in any of it.

[Evil Vito]

Balor joins the ever-growing 40+ year old club next week. Damn. Would’ve never known by looking at him.

[Noid]

WWE's decision to make Balor their first universal champion was a colossal mistake. Rollins would've made a much better inaugural champion considering his legacy as a former world champion and the first nxt champ. Balor's main roster run has largely been forgetable with the exception of his match against Styles and Lesnar. What a waste.

[Noid]

I would not be surprised if this run turns out to be equally underwhelming.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

It’s WWE. Everything they’ve touched the last 20 years has ended up being underwhelming

[Jordan]

Pat Mac is such a great catch for WWE. Probably the best guy they've had behind the action since King and JR back in the day. He is hilarious and so energetic.

Nakamura's new gimmick while simple, is ace.

Big E is so on the edge, they gotta pull the trigger on him soon.

I wish Finn was seen as a title level challenger because he was the first Universal Champion, I hope they don't take too long for him to get back to the top.

Corbin's new gimmick is hilarious I absolutely loved it.

I don't care for babyface KO.

Those are my takeaways.

[Bad News Gertner]

Can't wait to see Eva Marie in front of a live crowd

[Evil Vito]

Seeds pretty firmly planted for Big E/Reigns at Summerslam now. Doesn’t mean he has to win MITB either. But that match should be fire.

And Edge/Rollins was basically confirmed the second Edge returned with an “iconoclast” shirt

[slik]

I know all the talk is Cena/Reigns but honestly I would prefer Big E vs Roman with Cena being used as a guest ref

[Ruien]

Would rather John Cena only wrestle at Mania now. Let him be the new and last special attraction for the show.

[Evil Vito]

If they're doing Goldberg vs. Lashley I think they'll steer clear of Roman vs. Cena. Still think Cena will come back, just against another opponent.

[Sepholio]

Cena vs Bray in a "We're having an actual match this time we promise" match?

[Noid]

I know all the talk is Cena/Reigns but honestly I would prefer Big E vs Roman with Cena being used as a guest ref

Big E has cooled off considerably and hasn't done anything noteworthy to deserve a title match against Reigns, especially at a show like Summerslam. I know people love him but he's not world champion material yet.

[Evil Vito]

Belair vs. Carmella again on the next SmackDown

Yep, fans being back won't be enough for them to run carbon copy weekly TV

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Big E can win money in the bank and should announce himself as cashing in the SD after the Rumble, which I’d have him enter early and make it to the final 4 if not the final 2. Give him a king, strong showing and then he does something different and announces his cash in ahead of time. In the meantime, just have him rip through the upper miss card for now and get the momentum going.

I’d prefer they use legends like Cena to sell the non Mania shoes and use Mania to actually elevate the younger guys. This year’s mania was a fine example of how they should do it. All the matches had roster regulars in it. Even if you look at Edge as a nostalgia act, he was still regularly appearing before getting hurt and it looks like he’ll be a regular for the immediate future. There weren’t any special attraction or legend matches and that felt fresh. Keep doing that and use the stars of the past on the other shows.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I have no interest in seeing Goldberg v Lashley. Idk who is over enough to get heated up and need an opponent for Lashley come Summer Slam, but please not Goldberg. Use somebody new or at least new to the main event scene.

[Sepholio]

Lesnar is the only person besides Goldberg they could hotshot out of nowhere into a match with Lashley. Well...CM Punk. Otherwise it's got to be someone who has been in the main event before. They don't have enough time to build someone else up as a credible challenger from the midcard.

The only wildcard here is the MitB briefcase. They could always have the winner of that immediately declare they want Lashley at SS. But when I look at that the only choice that makes sense there really is Big E. If they are gonna pull the trigger on his push then now is the time. Unless Lashley is def booked to retain, then I'd have KO or Rollins win.

TBH feel like Riddle probably wins it now.

[Sepholio]

Actually I do have one other out of nowhere contender that could work, although it wouldn't be ideal....Karrion Kross.

[Evil Vito]

Karrion Kross is so fucking boring

[Sepholio]

Karrion Kross is so fucking boring

Yeah but he's a big new hoss that could pull off a slobber knocker with Lashley and it be credible.

[slik]

IDK that I would call him a hoss.

When he wrestled Shelton Benjamin on Main Event they were about the same size.


https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E4casOiVEBkVpJX.png


This is him from a handful of years ago standing next to Darren Young

https://i.postimg.cc/hjVHGTj8/ic2semu9cr451.jpg

[Fignuts]

Kross is absolutely not a hoss.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Bring Braun back for a one off feud

[slik]

I saw some tweets suggesting Bronson Reed could be the new 'big dude' like Otis when he gets called up but Bronson isn't really that big compared to most guys on the main roster either


https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bOJ0uentewg/maxresdefault.jpg

[xrodmuc316]

LMAO come on guys, how many times have we had to hear about Wardlow, Brian Cage, Miro, Nick Comoroto, or Will Hobbs being hosses?

They are all basically the same size as Kross, 6 foot to 6 foot 3, 270 pounds to 300 pounds.

Either Kross is the same or none of them are.

[Sepholio]

guess he just looks big next to the smaller guys he is normally around in nxt or something because he looks massive there.

Just looked it up: Lashley is billed as 6'3" 273lbs, Kross is 6'4" 265lbs. I'd consider Lashley a hoss in terms of what they have on the roster now. So I'd have to say Kross is as well. ftr I consider guys like Omas and Commander Azeez to be in another class above what I would say is a hoss. Those guys are like Big Show and Andre, they are giants.

[Sepholio]

Lesnar is 6'3" 265 for comparison to them.

[Fignuts]

Kross is too lean.

Needs more BEEF to be a hoss.

[drave]

I've never understood his appeal at all (don't feed me the Scarlet BS either).


Like, his big match with Balor ended with a stupid ass forearm to the back of the neck or something......


He should stay where he's at, he's not a "superstar".

[screech]

That's kinda the problem: a lot of his appeal *is* Scarlett. He's p generic otherwise. And like Fignuts said, he's not big enough to be a hoss. That would at least give him a bit of life squashing smaller guys.

[Sepholio]

I agree he is bland. But he's a credible opponent for Lashley if you need a short term fix.

And as I said before, he's the same weight as Lesnar but an inch taller. He's just built differently than Brock and Bobby.

[screech]

I would prefer Kross face Lashley than Goldberg, though.

[erickman]

ok how did cena escape the funhouse

[Noid]

Heyman singing Cena's theme was hilarious

[Jordan]

It's nice to hear Cena get a great babyface response. That was a good opening.

[Jordan]

It's hard for me to tell when they pipe in usually tbh.

[Jordan]

Can't understand how these guys didn't see each other lined up backstage.

[Evil Vito]

Lol are they really making these fans in Cleveland sit in the arena and watch 2 matches from Miami on a screen?

[Evil Vito]

Ok apparently they’re doing a 6 man in the arena. Good. Would’ve been a big rip off for the fans

[Evil Vito]

Rolling Loud crowd looks incredibly bored

[Jordan]

I would love to know what's going on at the arena in Cleveland right now. I'd be pissed. WWE tickets are expensive and they are probably just watching this on the screen.

[Jordan]

The ring is so far from where the audience is, has to be hard to pay attention/follow the match.

[Evil Vito]

Lol the Rolling Loud crowd did not care about that at all

[slik]

The Rolling Loud crowd looks like the feel the same way wrestling fans do when they interrupt WrestleMania for a musical performance.

[Evil Vito]

I would love to know what's going on at the arena in Cleveland right now. I'd be pissed. WWE tickets are expensive and they are probably just watching this on the screen.

Apparently a Big E/Cesaro/Nak vs Apollo/Ziggler/Roode tag match happened

Sounded way more interesting than this crap they were showing to Rolling Loud

[Jordan]

Lmao @ Corbin's stain, spaghetti lmao.

[Jordan]

Apparently a Big E/Cesaro/Nak vs Apollo/Ziggler/Roode tag match happened

Ahhh okay that's good to hear.

[Jordan]

Whatever the amount of money WWE gets for the third hour of Raw they should sacrifice for the sake of the product. I can enjoy Smackdown, but if it was three hours I couldn't even tune in. Same as Raw now. It's just such a waste of time. And exercise in futility week after week. They should scratch their heads to find a way to make up the difference and tell USA thanks but no thanks or perhaps even get a different network interested that would pay them close to their rate now but only expect two hours.

[slik]

Watching opening ceremonies side by side with SD...US Team 'on the bus' in transit to stadium...Megan Rapinoe cutting a bus promo r/n

[Jordan]

Edge is awesome

[slik]

Parade of Nations kind of boring w/o a crowd tbh

[slik]

they should show Gangrel getting savagely attacked by Seth Rollins backstage

[slik]

Toni Storm not wearing long pants anymore yessssss

[Jordan]

Toni very sexy and thic.

[Triple A]

toni storm... beautiful large arse...

[Triple A]

Thinking "why did they bring back Zelina Vega if they're just gonna make her a jobber" but wonder if she will actually beat Storm in her debut...

[Evil Vito]

Juice Robinson very lucky for getting to be in that ass

[Triple A]

nice quick lil match

[Jordan]

Me likey Toni Storm.

[Jordan]

Tony Storm may be the most desirous female in WWE that I can think of. Also she can work very well.

[Evil Vito]

Had no idea who Toni Storm was until I saw her in the first Mae Young Classic in 2017. She was already super hot and has only gotten more thicc since then

[Jordan]

Okay so I've seen a few Dominick matches and sure he's improved quite a bit since Dominck on a pole, and his entrance is dope. However, I'm not quite sold on him, he's definitely green and if he wasn't Rey's kid he wouldn't even make it on NXT TV yet but he does have something about him. Lot's of potential. He's no David Flair. I think he just needs some old fashioned steroids to make the look complete and then he won't have to do so much flippy shit and he'd be great.

[Jordan]

Also I like to say this because nobody else really ever does. Rey Misterio is probably the best wrestler I've ever seen live. He's amazingly fun to watch and changes the level of every match before him. I appreciate that he's still working and still doing awesome stuff. I think he should be considered much higher on peoples list of GOAT's when it comes to "in ring performers".

[Jordan]

Also want to say that the opening angled hooked me and I'm sticking around to see what happens with Cena/Roman. Did they even announce a main event for this show?

[Evil Vito]

Saw Rey work a match with Cody at an Indy show in 2017 and it was ridiculously fun. Dude can still go when healthy. Sad he lost several years of his career from lime 2010-14 because his knees were held together by popsicle sticks.

Lucha guys tend to wrestle forever so hopefully he’s got more in the tank.

[Jordan]

Looks like Roman/Cena face to face for closing of Smackdown.

[slik]

wish roman had a cape

[Jordan]

Roman has really tapped into himself. That classic idea that your character should be you turned up a few notches. I love it.

[slik]

Roman A+ on the mic

[Jordan]

The PRINCE? What is he doing out here!

[Evil Vito]

Heel Roman is the goods, bravo on this character work

[slik]

Finnnn

[Triple A]

Yeah good promo by Reigns

[Evil Vito]

I remember Balor going over Roman in his first main roster match in 2016. Hell of a way to make a debut.

[Jordan]

Whoaaaaaaaa! Didn't see it going down quite like that. I loved it though. Main Event Prince vs Big Match Roman. The crowd treated Finn like a major star. That went very well.

[slik]

now back to olympics...us should be entering very soon

[xrodmuc316]

Balor in the mix is never a bad thing.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I know they had a match at one point, but I’m surprised they haven’t feuded Balor with Styles. He’s a guy that I would move to Smackers in the draft. Roman and Styles have good chemistry too.

[drave]

Gotta keep their boy safe and what not. Either of those matchups would be fantastic.

[Triple A]

Baron Corbin came out and asked John Cena for some financial help. He asks for a role in The Suicide Squad sequel and even offers to be Cena's stunt double. He then reveals that the groin injury he suffered last week has left him unable to perform and as a result, his wife has left him.

Baron Corbin gimmick seems very good tbh

[slik]

Outside of Roman, Corbin seems like the best thing in all of WWE right now

[Triple A]

Hope they have him continue to grow his hair out really long to the point where it looks insane

https://i.imgur.com/Bi46McVl.jpg

[Jordan]

How was smackdown last night?

[Evil Vito]

Lol I watched the first two segments tonight and the piped in noise is horrendous. Obviously they always piped in during the taped shows (remember the Smackdown seagull?) but I don’t remember them doing it for live shows. They’d usually just roll with the punches, even if it requires the announcers to claim it’s just a unique crowd that night.

Had no issues with crowd noise during empty arena shows obviously. But piping in loudass crowd noise over a live crowd just makes it seem cheesy and second rate.

Vince would love to go back to the Thunderdome lol

[Mr. Nerfect]

SmackDown was the best show in wrestling for a while, but it feels really boring now, tbh. Got major NXT vibes.

[Jordan]

WWE loves the "championship contender match", the non-title challenge. Where usually the challenger pins the champion with a roll up.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Very lazy indy style stuff.

[#1-norm-fan]

Just turned Smackdown on for the first time in a long time. I kinda like Roode and Ziggler as a team. Seems they’re just here to job though which is weird. I get it. Vince doesn’t give a fuck about tag team wrestling. But it’s a division that exists. So why not let a couple singles stars you don’t care about become a thing in a division you don’t care about?

[#1-norm-fan]

I remember seeing Bianca as a heel whipping the shit out of people with her hair. Good heel tactic. Now she seems to be just swinging her hair around to pop the crowd.

Now Sasha Banks, her rival, is coming out mid-match and Michael Cole seems to think this crazy event is a good cliffhanger before going to commercial break.

I’ve used this commercial break to scan the channels and discover that there’s a good episode of Seinfeld on elsewhere. Probably gonna watch that.

[XL]

Yep. Both the piped-in crowd noise and the “Contenders Match” are head-scratchers. Do not like.

[GD]

Crews and Nakamura having a decent match for the IC strap.

[GD]

Holy shit! Nakamura is Intercontinental Champion :eek:

[Sepholio]

HELL YES

[GD]

Boogs and McAfee are just too precious.

[GD]

A bit peeved by the audio sweetening.

[GD]

Poor Michael Cole trying to sell WWE 2K22.

[Sepholio]

what is this awful sound coming over the air? Sounds like a jet engine through headphones or something i cant describe it. Super annoying.

[Sepholio]

You know....I could see Vince putting Otis and Keith Lee together one day. Seems like something he would do.

And that honestly wouldn't be the worst thing ever now that I think about it. Watching those 2 behemoths ragdoll suplex people constantly would be pretty good.

[Sepholio]

Rollins really in the production truck delivering the message to fix the damn audio.

[Sepholio]

Me and the Guru gonna hold it down for SD tonight. Hoping for a surprise appearance from Smeat maybe. Might get a random Fan comment at some point, or a linked tweet from Slik too. One can only hope.

[Sepholio]

ticker on the bottom of the screen telling me that DISH network is dropping Fox in our region :o

[GD]

Rollins' latest entrance music is growing on me. Has a very retro arcade inspired drum portion.

[Sepholio]

Rollins' latest entrance music is growing on me. Has a very retro arcade inspired drum portion.

Same. Don't like it as much as his original yet, but it's way better than that theme he had for awhile during the whole messiah bit.

[GD]

Agreed. The Messiah entrance music was pretty weak.

[GD]

Mysterio's video package on the giant set is just gorgeous.

[GD]

A distracted wrestler actually winning a match? You don't see that everyday

[Sepholio]

Ziggler is one of the biggest dropped balls in WWE history and I will never change my mind on that.

Uhg whichever Uso was kinda screeching there should stop. That was painful.

[GD]

Whoa! Cena referencing Punk's MITB championship victory

[Sepholio]

A distracted wrestler actually winning a match? You don't see that everyday

Noticed that too. Was kinda confusing for a minute and had me wondering who the Usos were actually trying to distract.

[Sepholio]

Oh man Heels commercials running during SD too.

CM Punk to WWE confirmed.

[Jordan]

How is the kids show?

[Sepholio]

Would legit be hilarious if Punk showed up on SD next week right before everyone is expecting him to debut on Rampage lol

[Sepholio]

How is the kids show?

It was kinda a down week for Dynamite imo but I still enjoyed it.

[Sepholio]

Corbins hobo look is so damn authentic. Amazing.

[Jordan]

It was kinda a down week for Dynamite imo but I still enjoyed it.

:o

Corbin is hilarious.

[Sepholio]

Feel like Corbin should have won that match. Poor guy. :(

[Jordan]

What is Corbin gonna do now?

[Sepholio]

lol Corbin just stole the MitB contract from Big E. That's what.

[Jordan]

lol Corbin just stole the MitB contract from Big E. That's what.

That's a good match for Summerslam.

[Fignuts]

WWE really brought it for the rampage debut. This was the best episode of WWE television all year. Very good show.

[Bad News Gertner]

2.5 million viewers last night


Wow, and below one million for AEW Dynamite


Daddy's home


R.I.P

[GD]

Really looking forward to Cena and Reigns' in-ring segment.

[Jordan]

I'm gonna watch cause I don't have anything else to do before Rampage. I will be looking forward to Corbin/Big E nonsense and whatever happens with Cena/Roman.

[erickman]

i wonder if they will step up there game tonight.

[Jordan]

ON THIS DAY

[Jordan]

Time for a serious lights outs promo you guys, will Edge get interrupted?

[Jordan]

No interruption! Really wish WWE would stop doing such long in ring promo's to tell their stories. It's really bullshit to go to a live show and watch so many fucking bad acting angles.

[Jordan]

Dominick Mysterio "me too".

[GD]

I'm so uninterested in Rey Rey vs Jey. I understand why they're doing it but it feels like the combination is uninspiring.

[GD]

The return of "absconded" on WWE television :roll:

[GD]

Motherfucker! Are they seriously doing Owens vs Corbin again? :nono:

[Sepholio]

Bianca competing twice the night before SS makes me think they are having to pull some kind of audible for her match tomorrow night.

[Sepholio]

LOL Logan Paul on RAW.

[Sepholio]

Holy shit Natalya is a beast. 3 weeks after surgery and shes already back. Props to her for that.

[GD]

How many times do Shotzi and Nox need to defeat the tag champs?

[GD]

Love Rollins' attire tonight.

[xrodmuc316]

Seth channeling NBA Draft Lebron James!

[Fenix122]

THE BROOD THEME

[Sepholio]

OMFG GANGREL

[Sepholio]

well maybe not, but the music at least

[GD]

BROOOOOOOOD!

Holy shit :lol:

[Sepholio]

This segment makes me smile.

[GD]

Okay, I marked out a little there. Holy shit!

[Jordan]

A CHOCOLATE BATH! OH MY

[xrodmuc316]

And THAT'S why he was wearing all white :rofl:

[GD]

Fucking hell! How many times do I have to see Alpha Academy vs The Street Profits :nono:

[GD]

Cena's NFT is live!

https://www.bitski.com/wwe

[Jordan]

That seems like a bit of a spoiler.

[Jordan]

I don't fucking understand NFT's and if that is what an NFT is I am seriously not understanding.

[Jordan]

A menstrual blood bath if anything. Brood Bath lol, WWE such a pussy.

[Jordan]

Montez looks too skinny he needs to wear some knee pads or something.

[GD]

Rick Boogs in action tonight :yes:

[Jordan]

LOL @ Pat, he's gonna get Boogs over big.

[Jordan]

Bianca bouncing is really growing me.

[GD]

It's a bit awkward to see Vega as an active in-ring competitor for such an extended period of time.

[rez]

How much of a pay cut did Vega take to return?

[Jordan]

Carmella and Bianca are both so beautiful. Bianca is really f'n good. Probably one of the best in WWE and her growth was so fast. Very impressive.

[Jordan]

I bet Cena wins tomorrow because WWE will be pissed that Flair is going to AEW eventually and they will give Cena more reigns than Flair.

[Sepholio]

I bet Cena wins tomorrow because WWE will be pissed that Flair is going to AEW eventually and they will give Cena more reigns than Flair.

Cena wins, Corbin cashes in on him.

[rez]

I would have liked Cena way more if he woulda rocked boardshorts instead of those fake ass jorts

[Sepholio]

Cena over here saying everyone is either on Team Cena or Team Reigns. F that, #TeamPeep represent.

[Sepholio]

I would have liked Cena way more if he woulda rocked boardshorts instead of those fake ass jorts

It amazes me he has stuck with the jorts all these years. They are awful, they've always been awful, they'll always be awful. It's like the Florida Man uniform.

[GD]

Cena firing on all cylinders as usual.

[GD]

Oh snap, Reigns is definitely winning tomorrow.

[Sting Fan]

Cenas promo felt off tonight, just felt like the timing and content seemed weird. Him and Reigns both felt like they were trying to hit a lot of smark comments.

Also almost felt like a Cena heel turn when he talked about taking the belt back with him until WM... just a weird vibe.

Cenas promo felt off tonight, just felt like the timing and content seemed weird. Him and Reigns both felt like they were trying to hit a lot of smark comments.

I didn't feel that way about the promo's but I did feel they were trying to finish the segment in 9 minutes or so. I liked it, Cena got that Cena fire and Roman's heat is still fresh. I thought it was good.

Honestly I don't tune in much anymore so maybe that contributed. Maybe it was that it felt rushed, the pacing certainly did feel strange.

The end of SD leading into AEW was good... almost like it was planned... ;)

[Noid]

The bloody quality of Smackdown is garn down the bloody dunny, right mate?

Why is SummerSlam on a Saturday?

[GD]

They also have to be out of the arena by 11.

[Lock Jaw]

Summerslam is on a Saturday?

[slik]

They also have to be out of the arena by 11.

I'm totally cool with that. A 3 hour show with like 10 matches is sort of like the olden days of PPV.

[Sepholio]

I honestly prefer the Saturday night timeslot for PPVs. More people can stay up later on a Saturday.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why is SummerSlam on a Saturday?

'Cause Vegas.

I like that he was able to afford a haircut again :rofl:

[erickman]

he stole grimes story about coming into money

[XL]

I was hoping Big E would agree to sell him the briefcase and then sold him just the actual briefcase leading to Corbin’s downfall part deux.

[drave]

Big E - its his time

[Sepholio]

Turrible

Balor v Roman for the title on SD. Of course the Usos beat up Balor before the match -_-

Ended up being a really solid match. Looks like WWE hinted at Demon Balor as Reigns was leaving, so looks this is going to be an actual fued.

[Evil Vito]

Becky at long last feeling comfortable showing off the abs

[erickman]

msg show should be good tonight.

[erickman]

ug i am going to hate the new nxt

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I’m watching Edge vs Rollins. One of my all time favorites vs one of the current best in the world candidates. And I can’t get into it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It all seems so forced and produced.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This is a 5 star match if you just STOP FUCKING ZOOMING IN ON EVERY FUCKING THING YOURE RUINING WRESTLING FUCKIJG DIE ALREADY

[Supreme Olajuwon]

A fantastic fucking match that should’ve been filmed by literally anybody else.

[GD]

I'm genuinely turned off by the piped in chants.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Bloodline shirts are PrettyCool

[GD]

Michael Cole feeling off

[Evil Vito]

There was supposed to be a Carmella and Zelina vs Liv and Naomi match on the show and it ended up getting cut for time.

Considering all the 9/11 tribute packages they were doing and Zelina lost her father on that day...that’s an especially big gut punch.

[Emperor Smeat]

For some added insult to Zelina, they invited a bunch of people to a pre-show screening of their new WWE 9/11 documentary and had Zelina give the presentation for the local charities shout out.

WWE did the same shout out during SmackDown but instead of bringing out Zelina to do it, they just had the ring announcer read off the charities announcement off-screen.

she should have never came back.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hot confrontation to start the show. Becky is fire as always. Bianca has serious star power. Two wrestlers with the very rare it factor.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Pat McAfee is the best thing about wrestling. You hear me Danielson? Step your game up.

[xrodmuc316]

How come if Apollo Crews speaks with a Nigerian accent now, why does his theme still start with him yelling "APOLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO" in his American accent?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Fun ass match between Nakamura and Crews. Shinsuke is so effortlessly fabulous, Boogz is a fun addition, McAfee is just the best.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Oh dang great promo from Montez Ford.
