Guess Smackdown needs a thread.

Jinders voice sounds like he needs some water

Poor construction guys are in back like "We put this thing together to show it off for 5 minutes tonight. We gotta break it down, and build it back up again on Sunday."

:nono:

Just started watching, did Jinder Mahal say the "same exact shit" as always

Hopefully this Jinder-Orton feud is over after Battlegrounds since its been pretty terrible overall. Then again Orton's been terrible since the split with the Wyatts.

Surprisingly no. This time he spent the time explaining how the Punjabi Prison match works and threatening Orton.

Who is left that could have attacked Breezango

The New Day
The Singh Brothers I guess

The Usos and The Ascension were "cleared" I guess... and one of the Colons is injured... American Alpha no longer exists

Orton was so happy in the Wyatt family I was so happy and he was so good what happened?

WWE Creative/brand split happened.

Interestingly, the last time a title was contested in the Punjabi Prison, No Mercy 2007, Orton had been awarded the WWE Championship by Vince at the start of the show as it was vacated by Cena after an injury at the previous RAW. Triple H beat him for it to start the night, successfully defended it vs. Umaga during the middle of the show and Orton regained it in the main event, a Last Man Standing match.

The Punjabi Prison match, however, was for the World Heavyweight Championship, a match that saw Batista successfully defend the title vs. Khaki.

I get the feeling The Singh Bros. will have some kind of factor that allows Mahal to retain on Sunday.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the Fashion X-Files segment tonight!

SmackDown seems bad now

Maybe some NPCs........

Even though Mojo denied it last week, could still have the twist of him actually being the one who trashed their office.

Agreed, besides maybe AJ, who always delivers.

Oh yeah forgot about Mojo

Icy Hot Lidocane

Leesa Mattress

AJ Styles needs to be the main event focus of the show again.....

If he was WWE Champ, and Jinder was US champ doing his thing, it would be much better........

Pray... for.... Mojooooo

Double twist: It was Zack, who framed Mojo the whole time. Probably not, but I find that I could invest myself in the storyline more if they did go that route...something about Mojo going heel and getting pushed just doesn't seem palatable to me.

Doing the Raw thing where they extend a tag team feud forever and have them have long, meaningless, boring singles matches each week

Feels like most things had a reason for happening before the "superstar shake-up"... but now.......

Yeah, this match is so dull.

Actually I think last week was good

Just feeling negative now cause of this d*mn match

I thought today was Wednesday. whoops. Smackdown can start being good now that I'm tuning in.

So wait what is the maximum time a feud should last these days

ugh...I thought I imagined that Angle angle last night

If 205 Live is any indication 4-6 months.

Why do they always cross-promote things? There may as well not even be a brand split. :nono:

Becky/Charlotte tonight...... sweet.....

5 Minutes

Millenials can't be expected to pay attention any longer than that

I guess this one has only been going on for 2 PPVs, but feels like there are still like 1-2 months of it left at least

Jason Jordan should prob be a bit "mad" at Kurt Angle, who struggled for weeks with the news and primarily worried about how it would affect him and his reputation. Then finally only publicly admitted it after it was imminent that the news would "get out".....

I like when Kurt Angle messes up 15% of the words in his promo. I like when Rusev does that also. Makes me like them a lot.

So was Angle supposed to be ashamed he had a black kid or that he had a pre-marital affair for why he was scared about the secret he didn't want leaked?

Nothing about it felt like it was supposed to be a big deal especially with how commentators quickly brushed it off to hype up the main event.

I'm starting to think Vince took a hard look at SDL and was like we have to gut this show it can't be better than RAW.

Once again, R.I.P. American Alpha. :'(

Chad Gable should also prob be a bit "mad" at Jason Jordan who was just "seeya, I'm gonna go be a singles rassler now and my dad is GM of this show so I'm going there"

THE MIRACLE!

The fuck is with that ring attire?

It's like he threw Rick Rude's, HBK's, and Ass Man Billy Gunn's ring gear into a blender and that's what came out.

Yes its time to burn inside love
