Noid completes the week with Official SmackDown
 

SmackDown is the show I am least intrigued to watch this week, but I'm going to try and muscle through. WWE have advertised four matches for the show:

* Roman Reigns & The Usos vs. King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode
* Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Braun Strowman for the Intercontinental Championship
* Shorty G vs. Sheamus
* John Morrison & The Miz vs. Heavy Machinery vs. The Revival vs. Lucha House Party for a shot at the SmackDown Tag Team Championship

Looks to be a good card.

WWE still "trying," whatever you want to make of that.

I think Morrison & Miz will become #1 Contenders; Gable will catch Sheamus and then Sheamus will get his heat back, possibly to be interrupted by a face turn Cesaro; Strowman wins the IC Title; Reigns & Usos win the main and then Bray Wyatt makes his presence felt and takes out Reigns somehow.

Show will open with a Daniel Bryan talking about what's next in his career.

Would love if they threw a Bryan vs. Cesaro match on there, but I don't see it.

They did that exact same 6 man tag last week and it apparently wound up being over a 30 minute segment. Seems rather unimaginative to just run it again.

Between Carrillo/Andrade on Raw and now Shorty G/Sheamus on Smackdown, they’re continuing a recent trend of running the PPV pre-show matches on TV during the week. All but reinforcing that the PPV pre-shows are pointless.

you can guarantee that it'll be mediocre since Bruce Prichard runs the show.

I gonna be watching too I think.

Only thing I disagree with here is the stuff with Bray Wyatt. I don't think they'll pull the trigger on that quite yet. They are going to want Bray and Roman to both have matches at Blood Money V and I don't think they'll pull the trigger on that feud until after that because of how WWE books feuds. I imagine Bray will prob have another match with Bryan in Saudi (or maybe a transitional, one-off feud with someone) and Roman will do whatever. I imagine they'll have their first real interaction the following week on SD a couple days before the Elimination Chamber, which Roman will win to officially kick off their feud.

That only leaves them a month to build until WM but considering the history between Wyatt and Roman, they don't need that much time. And this is probably going to be one of those 3-4 month back and forth feuds tbh. They have time.

Reigns and Corbin feud still going................ SmackDown truly seems unwatchable

I didn't see the actual segment, but didn't Kane do something with Bray? Given the Saudi show is coming up, I'm pretty sure Glen will be getting that truck backed up.

Honestly kind of wish SmackDown didn't have a Women's Division. It's really just Sasha and Bayley doing their thing and Mandy/Sonya. Just move them all over to Raw.

If Bischoff wasn’t fired we could’ve been getting Mandy and Sonya HLA segments. Sad.

Lol, classic promotional strategy: Just plaster "Super" on top of it to make it seem special.

WOOF WOOF

BARK BARK

BIG DOG

Hot woman in crowd genuinely embarrassed to be there.

Honestly when I see Roman I want to see the Uso's. I want this Bloodline stable to be a real thing, how can you boo Roman after Cancer and when he's with his Uso's?

This Reigns vs. Corbin feud should have ended at the Rumble instead of still dragging along pretty much since Smackdown's move to FOX.

The fact they are doing another Loser Eats Dog Food match at a house show really feels like that's going to end up happening on Smackdown or a PPV soon.

I wonder if they will do LOSER EATS THE DOG FOOD MATCH at Super Showdown (in Jeddah).

The Usos charismatic chaps. Can probably be singles stars if the other decides to go into real estate.

I'm SO OVER Dolph Ziggler. He should really pursue Stand Up comedy.

SmackDown set looks amazing. SmackDown commentary is awful. Roman Reigns promo is awful.

Is Ziggler even wearing gear?

WWE makes enough money to design Corbin some better gear. Get NASA on that if you have to.

Uso's do promo better than The Big Dog. But honestly this trio is money they need to push this group like The Shield.

Corbin, Roode and Ziggler look like they are about to shoot some throat fuck gangbang casting porn in HD.

This is fucking awful.

LOSER EATS DOG FOOD

FETISH HOT STUFF OMG

:| They are actually doing the Loser Eats Dog Food match tonight.

The dog food angle is not that bad.

Reigns calling people "fetish boy" sounds like a fetish...

That opening promo segment was bad.

The whole angle is fine it's just so Bruce right? Over the top dumb stuff but it was kind of fun, it wasn't terrible. Uso's and Roman are money money money together and even the heel trio was entertaining. I am looking forward to seeing the losers eat the dog food tbh.

I both love and hate The Usos at the same time.

Big fatal four way to determine who faces The New Day at Super Showdown my money is on Miz and Morrison.

This match will be a cluster, but I do like me some John Morrison.

Will be interesting to see Morrison mix up with Lucha House Party.

Looking forward to seeing where they go for The Feind at Super Showdown. Slik told me the rumor is he faces Kane. Which would probably suck but the spectacle could but fun.

Meltzer said the Revival asked and were again denied their release the weekend of The Rumble.

I think The Miz is probably my least favorite WWE wrestler of any consequence ever.

This show is so damn gentrified.
