SmackDown - CAGE MATCH + Jerry Lawler + Surprise Person spotted backstage - OFFICIAL THREAD 1.17.17
 

Ya Mickie James!

Really excited for this show. Might be setting the bar high, but I hope Alexa & Becky go all out in that cage match tonight.

It wouldn't be seen as lite if they used what they have properly. Carmella and Naomi could have a program. That would be four women's feuds if you include Maurice and Renee.

Wonder if Shane's big announcement is him remembering where he put the keys to the mystery box Vince fears about.

Time for the A show!

This is the first WWE womans cage match ever (that I know of):

Shane's announcement pretty much gave away a RAW guy is winning the Rumble. Completely brushed off the idea of someone from his brand winning because they have the Chamber instead.

Oh god.....they're starting to tease Styles/Shane for Mania.

What a waste of the best wrestler in the world.

:lol: "Growing your hair to be America's Next Top Soccer Mom"

The Miz is Awesome!

Why do they keep mocking Styles hair it is glorious.

Because it is probably the only thing about him WWE could use to generate heat. He's the superstar of the year and is Shawn Michael level right now.

Is the reason they didn't do Slammies that they would know AJ would win hands down over Roman?

Ambrose looking more like his stupid nickname

Orton vs Ambrose should be a good one.

The slammies are rigged so I doubt that's the reason std.

Rollins beat Roman last year.

Late to the party.

Miss anything important?

Miz-Styles match was pretty good. Meh at SuperCena's return though.

Probably more of a scheduling reason due to Smackdown being live now and them taping Tribute to the Troops show later than usual.

A pretty good opening segment with Shane's major announcement just being the Elimination Chamber ppv.

Also a good Miz-Styles match.

who won miz/styles, I missed the end of it

Chamber PPV Smackdown only, or joint-op with Raw?

That's a weird place for Natalya to be.

Should be SD only if I'm not mistaken. Only the big 4 are crossbrand I think.

THIEF!

Are they really resorting to rehashing R-Truth's 2011 "complain about the merch stand" promo?

Nattie cutting the promo of her career.

Because this is literally the most words and time shes been given since she got on the roster.

No contest. Thought at first the ref DQed Styles for some reason but nope, it just abruptly ended.


Smackdown only.

Wish the black ref on Raw was here to break up this fight

"Excuse me I'd like to purchase the shirt that got smashed between natty and Nikki bellas bewbz plz."

Alexa's hair reminds me of Hulk Hogan

ty @ smelly meatball

Alexa Bliss would look good w/ a Mohawk IMO

Yay @ SDLive for showing comedy Kurt Angle segments!

Really want to watch the curse of oak island right now...damnit why does it come on during the A show!?

Love me some bray wyatt.

"DirecTV Now" buffering / freezing making this unwatchable....... haven't seen anything in the past 10 mins

froze during Kurt Angle thing... fuckers

This video was way better than the one on Raw.

I seriously hate the Wyatts fancy clothes has Randy been giving them money?

damn it.......

Remember when New Day went to the Wyatt compound? That was sooo legit.

Fun times.

@triple a just watch it on ur phone

Can't wait for broken Matt hardy to show up at the wyatt compound looking for MEEKMAHAN.

Ditch the dish, Triple A.

My husband Roman Reigns just called me with a special message for TPWW. He wanted me to say "Much love from the Big Dog".

Wonder what Luke Harper is thinking with that gaze he's giving Bray.

Maybe he's worried he's not going to be able to afford his monthly bar of soap if Bray is too upset or busy to pay the monthly Wyatt Family wages.

it's kinda working now but at like 240p

nah it's not a dish, it's online streaming tv

Ah.

I'm on Harper's side here.

Would be pretty amazing if it ends up Luke being the one to split and Randy stays with Bray instead of the more obvious Randy destroying the family from within like Cena with Nexus.

Bray is looking like a badass right now.

Orton destroying the Wyatts from within was probably his goal all along.

That was a great fucking shot of Luke Harper walking up behind Randy while he was still in the ring and Harper was on the floor

He isnt doing anything though. Luke keeps acting like an idiot.

How long before rowan attacks orton? Can't be much longer, right?

And we get an out of the blue interview show with Jerry Lawler next.

How did this come about?

Batista for surprise rumble entrant confirmed.

People may hate part timers but this RR is fn stacked.

Its Memphis

WM21 was soooo good

Yeah, it feels like the biggest Rumble match in years

I agree. Haven't been this stoked for the rumble in a long time.

Show's in Memphis tonight? And because of that there was a need to get him on TV?

Hope Dolph goes after him.

Why is King on SD!, and why does he have a talk show?

Seriously. Wasn't he just recently released?

EDIT: Oh, he's got a Legends contract, and he's on now, corny jokes and all.

This is shaping up to be a beast of a RR

Omg he's about to wrestle isn't he look at what he's wearing. Please god no.

kings court its 94 all over again

King's in ring attire.

He can't fight, he'll die................possibly.

Still want Dolph to kick him in the teeth tho.

worst theme

Still think Dolph is one of the top 5 performers in the E.

Not sure if its a wise idea for Ziggler and Lawler to be in the ring at the same time. Last time Ziggy was a heel and interacted with Lawler, he almost killed Lawler during a match.

SD Live presents the death of the king in HD.

Dolph: "Why the fuck are you here?"

PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!!!!

Dolph Ziggler has the same hairstyle as Lana now

Yeah, nobody wants to see him have another heart attack in the ring.

He even got some of his old swagger back sucks hes playing a face

Is the accent the same now too? Can't tell due to him silently "brooding" all segment long thus far...

If Kings tames any bumps then no way Angle can't wrestle.

Superkick Lawler please

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh. Is it the arrest stuff?

Oh shit it just got real!

LOL

WOW, they're actually using the heart attack as an angle.

:lol: them actually referencing the time Ziggy almost killed Lawler

GET HIM, DOLPH!

"Dolph, we're gonna get you over as a heel tonight. You're going to kill the King. Instant nuclear heat." -Vince

This still won't get Dolph over as a heel

Don't try to throw a punch, King. You'll die!

Gonna stop recording this now. Don't want a dead guy on my dvr.

........

Whoa there, JBL!

JBL, M.D. to the rescue.

Well that was sort of anticlimactic.

I'd be offended at them using the heart attack to build an angle, but it's Lawler. It was probably his idea in the first place.

He comes from a time when nothing was off limits to sell a story. The man suggested that Michael Cole use his own mother's death against him in an angle.
