I wonder if Shane is done with jury duty...

Unless its Ali, anyone else as a potential replacement wouldn't make sense from a tournament perspective.

Definitely Shane then

Oh if it's Shane and Gable goes over, that's brilliant.

What about me? What about Lock Jaw?

Not sure how this show will follow DBW...

Monstrous pop for ze Deadman.

Taker's back to exposing his chest again.

I h8 the Undertaker / h8 wrestling I think...

Oldertaker

Getting outta the way something I never thought I would have heard myself say about the Undertaker

already 8:05

Damn, that girl in the front row is all over Taker.

Relatively tame Taker promo. Nice.

:lol: at the camera guy in the background scurrying up into position.

Wonder if The Fiend is going to attack Taker any moment now.

I'm begging Bray to put him out of his misery

WHAT A FOOL...

Although..I did go take a shit at the beginning of UT's entrance and was back when he was getting in the ring

That might have been the most useless start to a Smackdown show in a long time.

Well well, look who's back from jury duty.

:(

Well, it was a nice run, Chad

2 things already

1. Did they already forget Sami and Shinsuke are paired up? Where was Nakamura?
2. Chad Gable is not the shortest guy on the roster, so shouldn't the shortest guy get the short jokes?

So its Shane then.

Just in time to replace Elias!

Never realized until now but Clash of Champions would make a ton more sense as a Survivor Series "Brand Warfare" style show considering the theme of every belt being on the line and the name implying its champ vs. champ matches.

"He's the Intercontinental Championship" - Corey Graves

Miz hasn't been awesome for a while, MSG.

Miz and Sami are on SD, why did they have RAW logos when they entered?

The WWE should look into not letting a wrestlers future PPV opponent sit ringside. I think it sometimes promotes altercation.

Because they're both RAW superstars.

Never saw that coming.

Wildcard rules are still in effect despite WWE not bothering to mention it for the past few weeks.

I like when Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville hug each other and look like they are almost about to kiss during their entrance

@Guru Dave

Mandy's used tampons smell like caramel.

:n: Shane as Elias' replacement.

WWE can't even run something as simple as a tournament correctly anymore.

The next Superstar Shakeup cannot come any sooner.

They're like best friends / sisters or something.

Just doing this backstage segment made Shane sweat like Niagara Falls

So many 'psychotic looking' fans in NXT on USA commercial...

Why not show Velveteen or others in action, hint at their characters, give new viewers a reason to want to see THEM instead of advertising the audience as the star of the show???

We're getting so close to what time AEW is on

Yessssss Mandy back to not wearing pants

OMG IS THIS HAPPENING???? OMG I HOPE MANDY AND ALEXA HATE FUCK!

I'm getting "Piggy James" vibes from this one.

I thought she was feuding with Ember?

I was just about to say the same thing

What is the crowd chanting?

Pretty terrible promo by Mandy.

Nikki's photo looked more like a legit insane person than ugly person. Like the type that would snap at any minute and become a badass submission machine since this is wrestling.

One of these days Byron is going to slug Graves in the booth and nobody would feel bad for Graves.

Graves is way more mean spirited with his jokes towards Byron then he is towards anyone else.

David Spade could relaunch his career if he recruited Otis as a Farley cosplayer

better crazy nickki then retarded friend nickki

Curious to learn who'll challenge New Day for the Smackdown Tag Titles.

Did anybody see it in NXT when Nikki Cross was acting as Aleister black's Herald that was so cool.

Graves is so obxnoxious...had to mute the show...really wish it was Renee/Tom/Byron on brand blue

feel like nothing has happened so far

Whens AEW come on?

Moon needs to shut her mouth

She's gonna get the switch blade

Moon is a terrible promo.

crowd seems dead

There should be a Glade or Febreze Otis scent

A guy can do a tumble WHAT AGILITY!
shut up Cole.

Corey Graves can fuck off.

Cole's not here man.

Why does Shane's face look jacked up?

Otis is a gift

See I hate him just that much but I hear things like that he's all I can think of.

Outside of Shane being revealed as Elias' replacement for Gable, 1st hour of tonight's Smackdown was pretty much a big waste of time.

Damn, Cena looks super foine!

Has anyone started watching the HGTV Brady Bunch house renovation special yet?

Soooo Bryan a face again?

Either Rowan got new entrance music or its been soo long since his entrance theme last played that I completely forgot what it sounded like.

His terrible feud with Big Show might have been the last time his singles theme was played.

Would have loved to see Harper in Rowan's role.

Rowan pretty good on the mic

New entrance music.

Rowan cutting a YOU PEOPLE promo

:lol: @ Rowan throwing a plant.

Okay THAT was the best WWE segment I've seen in forever

This might be the worst brawl in years in WWE. Almost everything about it feels too tame or weak.

I stand corrected. Rowan using a stage cam to wipe out Reigns was pretty cool.

Rowan has had enough!

His speech, taking those stupid superman punches, throwing that "fan", and that camera move lol. Loved it.

Rowan is turning out to be awesome....

This makes me think about how much The Wyatt Family was wasted. How did they mess that up?

Charlotte's 9 reigns as champion includes her reign as Divas Champion. The coveted strap held by legends like Alicia Fox, Kelly Kelly and Jillian Hall.

Old man sitting behind Tom and Byron has started picking his nose on camera

Alicia Fox is awesome :rant:

I guess it's safe to say that we overestimated Ember Moon as an overall package.

Not when she was the divas world champion.

Oh shit Charlotte just did a "10" gesture. Tye Dillinger/Shawn Spears should sue.

Hate how they've "cooled down" Kevin Owens. Man felt like a million bucks at SummerSlam.

Why cant Kevin just be the sadist he was in ROH

Also Alica Fox is the unsung hero of the WWE womens division

Combo of WWE thinking they already had the next Taker with Bray and didn't put in any real work to cement his status, Wyatts being fed to Super Cena, and Orton laying waste to the group after they had finally recovered in status from the Cena feud.

I kind of feel like they include her NXT reign as one sometimes too.

What a mild ovation for the WWE Champion...

Yep

I mean, when you are doing nothing the first 15 months on the main roster with zero backstory or angles, then they decide her first angle is getting mad her Switch was broken by Sonya, well it's kind of hard to then be taken seriously when WWE randomly decides to use her.

A lot of audible booing.

They're yet to do the KOTR match.

this shit is so fucking boring, no creativity at all, just "let's have the guys who are going to have a match have a brawl through the crowd"

at least there isn't a half hour 10 man tag match I guess
