SmackDownLIVE - #1 Contender to be named tonight!
 

Any Owen White sightings?

Not sure which brand he was drafted to

Wonder who wI'll be Deans first victim. Has to be a big name since Balor is in the other title match. What big heels, besides Wyatt, does Smackdown have? Maybe they will go Cena and Ambrose to drive down the point Ambrose is for real.

My immediate thought after Ambrose retained the title at Battleground was Ambrose vs. Cena vs. Styles at SummerSlam, but it feels like they could run Styles vs. Cena as its own program. Hell, they might even keep it in the back pocket and run Ambrose vs. Styles and have Cena work with someone else until they get to a single-brand special they want to sell.

If they were to continue the Styles v. Cena feud, I could see it being either Bray or maybe ADR...

Kane?

Seems to be WWE's backup plan whenever they don't have anyone else ready or just want a quick toss-away feud done.

Heart says AJ Styles.

Head says John Cena.

Although I'm expecting neither of them and we get quite the curveball.

According to WWE's website, Smackdown's title is back to being called the WWE World title.

Alright Smackdown. Your turn.

who watching

me

New Smackdown opening is pretty cool.

Like the music.

Theme sucked but I liked the opening video

troubled by forced use of the word "lit" on 2 shows in a row

Mmmmm Becky

Smackdown only PPVs.

Cool. Makes things less confusing down the road.

Simon Gotch fighting off sleep on the apron...

Is the 3rd announcer guy there, haven't heard him

Checking this out like I did with Raw.

Ok. They can drop the "face that runs the place" moniker for Cena.

If they're going to do split PPVs/events make joint events unique like Rumble, Summerslam and WM only.

Would have been cooler if Bryan announced an impromptu battle royale since everyone was already on the apron.

A winner is you.

So hope Alexia Bliss wins this battle royal

:lol: they actually are doing one for a spot.

Battle Royal ftw

I would have said Orton as the 6th man, but he's booked to fight Brock.

Who else is there that got some star power?

Feels like they are being disrespectful to the women if they aren't in the battle royal and there is no women's championship.......

Would be cool if Alexa Bliss won and fought Dean Ambrose @ SummerSlam...

Casual Tuesday for Otunga.

Where are the women? He said everyone damn it!

Best thing I like since I got Sasha only one night I have to worry a week now

Alberto Del Rio gonna win I guess (via everyone else on the roster being a "jobber")

Ok did Hell freeze over with this new era?!

Smackdown roster looks painfully thin to start with

Would be fine with that.

Why do you say that?

I'm gonna say Kane or Alberto.

David Otunga seems like "another Byron Saxton"... (but not as bad)

Wait, why is Dean even in this match?

This swaying "crane cam" is you will, is a nice change of viewing. But it's starting to put me to sleep.

Feel like my TV is a hypnotist.

Nevermind, I thought that was Dean.

what does every1 think so far

Dunno why but that Missy Elliot and Alec Baldwin ad seems really unnerving to me for some reason.

Yeah this Battle Royale really exposes how small their undercard is.

MEH.

Is there a different writing team for SmackDown or no?

Just ran an ad for the Smackdown show I'm going to next month. Ambrose & Reigns vs. Rollins & Jericho is being billed.

Not happening.

Yeah, painfully small...they need more of both male and female competitors...roster is downright anemic right now.

I dig it. But like some have said, it's a light mid-card. Would have loved some of our "darlings" to come to the show.

Give it time.

Ryder's lucky he didn't injury his knee with that botch.

Yeup. The head writer is the former NXT writer although think this might be his 2nd time in charge of Smackdown.

Crews, eh.

Alright.

Hey Renee.

Good choice having Crews win imho

Don't like these immediately after the match interviews

fight forever!

Shelton Benjamin? What?

Awesome.

Shelton Benjamin hell yeah

SHELTON'S COMING BACK?!

Hate Apollo Crews

SHELTON BENJAMIN IS BACK?! :eek:

That's shot in the fucking arm for Smackdown.

:D Shelton. Would be cool if they bring back Hass to beef up the tag division.

WGTT vs American Alphas with the winner to be the official Kurt Angle approved team.

Apollo Crews has the personality/charisma/enigma of a tree limb so far.

<3 Shelton Benjamin though

It feels too forced. Two newbies getting title shots in the first two nights of the "new era".

Granted Crews hasn't won his shot yet.

racist!

Agreed, I have really no problem with Crews winning his way into the Six Pack challenge but he better not win.

Great promo from Ziggler and I was only half paying attention but he made me take notice.

This is wrong. Don't like smackdown live. Should probably just throw out my vcr.

Make SmackDown Taped again sign lol

:lol: Awesome.

Love a few things about Nattie! :naughty::drool::heart:

Next TPWW poster to go to Smackdown should take a "Where's Owen White?" sign with them.

I'll try to remember.

How come you ignore all of my posts owen what the hell :-(

U hate me or something?

Mean...

Does it seem like there are way more commercial breaks than RAW so far to any1 else?

Yes, certainly feels that way so far.

Crowd wanted that match to end way earlier.

:rofl:

And Eva Marie gets booed.

Alexa Bliss seems cool

Not feeling this Carmella lady at all

:lol: @ Eva Marie's announcer

That's 'cause you ain't fabulous.

Yeah. Ain't digging the Smackdown ladies.

Gonna have to dip into the free agent pool.

JBL lacking the same enthusiasm Corey Graves had for Eva.

Only good thing bout her...well besides the looks

I like Eva Marie's entrance.

This is weird.

I've been very upset at the direction of the forums as of late... :n:

The Smackdown Ladies need a dose of Sweet Sweet Stratusfaction

:yes: :yes: :yes: :naughty: :heart:

What not enough socks giving you attention ?

I still do not see the benefit of bringing back Maryse.

Just don't get it.

hasn't he done this before?

snooze fest

I've missed you, Randy. :love:
