Other stuff and things:

• The Kabuki Warriors to challenge WWE Women's Tag Team Champions The Iiconics

• Ember Moon and a mystery partner to face Rose and DeVille

Will Drake Maverick have found his pants?

PLEASE don't let this be leading to K.O. and Shane in a feud and fighting ever. FFS, SHANE, YOU'RE ALMOST 50!

Why does every1 think DBry is going to 205Live...have seen this all over the interweb that people speculate that...did DBry say something???

They still haven't learned how not to waste time with the stupid recaps.

He will announce that he is single-handedly going to challenge for and win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships at SummerSlam. :shifty:

I wish Great Khali would come out and tell Shane McMahon what he thought of him

Why would Reigns be upset at Shane's handling of Smackdown since he's been on RAW way more often since the Wild Card rule started.

Well, Charlotte does have a real manly face...

Liv Morgan has CENA NUFF

This sucks...unfortunately my only other option is to watch the Indians rape Detroit.

Heaven help us all, Kofi actually made a valid point.

Kairi looks confused and Paige looks bored

What's up with the top of Cesaro's mouth? Is he wearing a mouthguard, braces, both?

LOL Shane cant even take a stunner properly. Great start to the new Smackdown!

both

:lol: at Shane's Stunner botch.

Thank you Slik and Smeat for being willing participants in this experiment gone so, so wrong.

Shane botchin' a stunner is a great metaphor for Shane being a focal point of WWE programming

UGH...Shane bound and determined to keep fighting people until he literally dies in the ring.

I hear rumors that next Tuesday will just be him dancing to his theme for the whole 2 hours, convinced that he is in fact competing on Dancing With the Stars.

Creaky lift noise inbound...

Did the sound effect for Black's rise entrance break?

Sounded different than usual.

If there's one thing I will never get its wrestling Nostalgia Obsession why would you want to see people who can barely move come back

Yeah, I noticed that too. Sounded quieter almost.

Cesaro should probably fight someone else.

Owens going for the KO outta nowhere and instead gets nothing but air.

Half-hour in and this show is seriously dragging ass.

Liv Morgan please sit on my face

That was a lot better women's match than last night's 4-way disaster on RAW.

Liv Morgan gimmick change?

What did she say? Before "when I come back I'm gonna be real"

"Charlotte was right".

MANDY ROSE PLEASE BLEED FROM YOUR VAGINA INTO MY FACE AND THROAT AND MY DIET PEPSI

Damn @ Mandy Rose's hair...always been a sucker for women with super long hair like she has.

FUCK YOU BAYLEY YOU STUPID SKANK!

OMG Mandy's ass. I want to drink her poop shakes.

I hate to inform you that that is not how Wild Cherry Pepsi is made.

Also, I remember back when it first released and I'd be drinking a Mtn Dew Code Red @ my friend's place he always asked why I was drinking "period water" LOL.

FUCK YOU BAYLEY

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT???? BAYLEY DONT MAKE THE FUCKING MATCHES! FUCK THIS SHIT! ALEXA DESERVES ANOTHER SHOT!

Bayley vs. Moon for the Smackdown belt should be great.

That segment made me dislike both Bayley and Ember Moon...

What do U all think the announcement will be!!!

Yeah, that's definitely a big one in the "for" column to tune in to SummerSlam for me.

DBry going to NXT could take away opportunities but would also have good matches....

Can't picture DBry going to 205 Live getting more eyeballs tbh but would also lead to good matches...

I feel your frustration and anger, dude. Back when (ironically) Alexa defeated Bayley for the RAW Women's Championship, I never dreamed it would take her more than 2 years to win another singles title. But I'm sure Alexa will probably have plenty more opportunities.

He will be the star of a new Captain Planet movie.

What didn't you like about it ("JW")?

I thought Ember could've reeled in her excitement just slightly, but other than that I didn't have a problem with it.

Him doing a heel turn on himself by announcing he's no longer a vegan and loves eating meat.

Was way too positive and "happy go lucky" and unnatural-seeming... Feel like Ember Moon is better as a "bad ass" and not a Bayley-like character

SummerSlam is looking like dog shit.

DBry is gr8

I said last night in RAW thread i thought Orton would be facing Kofi at SS. It makes sense.

Oh man, Orton v. Kofi at SummerSlam would be absolutely fucking SIIIIIIIIIICK...

2 out of 3 falls!

They should have named this the six-man tag era

six man tag baybay

2/3 falls???

Well since the wrestlers can make there own matches, I wouldnt be shocked to see Roman Reigns come out and put himself in the Main Event of SummerSlam.

I can see Reigns facing DB at SS.

They should. Those two would bring the house down for sure.

He's fighting Brock for the Universal strap. Won the 10-man all-star battle royal or whatever last night on RAW.

Rollins won

6-man tag match was pretty good overall.

Ehh, you're right but even still, you know it's just a matter of time before Vince puts him in a Universal Championship match and has him go over.

R-Truth and Carmella are killing it.

Well... At least they're not named the Bukkake Warriors.

Would be hilarious/lame if IIconics lost the strap in their only defense.

Dammit...should've trusted my instincts. Knew they'd pull something sneaky.

owenbrown marking out r/n in his IIconics shirt!

:lol: at the ending to the Women's Tag title match.

I would think that would be something you'd be in favor of.

Sick of the stupid Creamy Snickers ad.

Did Bryan make his announcement yet?

Apollo Cruise Controls to Victory

nope

Would have laughed had tonight's main event between Owens and Ziggy been just as short as their match at Extreme Rules.

Eric Bischoff's first SD is DBry not making a scheduled announcement and a main-event of KO vs Dolphin Ziggler

...

He was supposed to, but New Day beat him to the ring when it was supposed to be his time, so he came out with an angry look and a mic like he might say something then went backstage, lather rinse repeat the process a few times and he never said anything.

...

Match ending in a no contest is dumb considering Shane didn't hit Owens and Owens ran away.

I'm sure he had very specific marching orders from Vince.

Bischoff had nothing to do with the show and wasn't there tonight according to Meltzer!

All that hype and he didn’t even make his announcement

That’s okay, tune in next to see the real announcement. WE PROMISE

“Card subject to change”

Gable vs. Gallagher match on 205 Live was really great overall. Rest of tonight's 205 Live show was pretty skippable though.

205 Live would be much better off if it was just a 30 minute show instead of them trying to stretch out almost an hour each week. Crowd would probably be not as burnt out as they currently are for these weekly shows.

Chad Gable vs Jack Gallagher might be a strong contender for MOTY. What a match!

I think Bryan/Rowan will announce they are going to NXT to take the tag team titles from the Street Profits.

I think Bryan/Rowan will announce they are trans to take the tag team titles from the IIconics.

Lol

Daniel Bryan saying he has to go somewhere hes never been..its Clearly to Saudi Arabia to fight the evil Oil drilling saudis

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought Shane hosting a town hall meeting was a joke.

Was there a Shelton Benjamin “interview” this week, or has that been dropped already?
