The storied rivalry between Sasha Banks and Bayley will come to an end, this Friday at 8/7 C on FOX

Apparently WWE changed their show preview format for SD at least for this week. Only other stuff announced was two Team Smackdown qualifiers for the men's side.

Card and preview for tonight's 205 Live show:

Mansoor and Adonis have seemingly each made loose alliances with The Brian Kendrick in recent weeks. The Man With a Plan has imparted his veteran wisdom on Adonis, who has displayed plenty of raw talent but also an inability to stay laser-focused during his matches – at least until he finally defeated Kendrick in his third try several weeks ago.

Mansoor defeated Kendrick in singles competition two weeks ago, then joined forces with him last week to pick up a tag team victory against Ever-Rise. What will happen when Mansoor and Adonis, who have faced off frequently, once again slug it out?

Immediately after bursting onto the scene of 205 Live, Stallion found himself at odds with Nese and Daivari, who consider themselves the 205 Live O.G.s and have claimed that Stallion isn’t in their league.

Stallion, who lost to Nese in singles competition but defeated Daivari, has been challenged to a tag team match by the former Cruiserweight Champion and The Persian Lion, and he has recruited none other than his longtime partner Austin Grey.

What will happen when the old school takes on the new school in what is certain to be a fiery tag team collision? Find out on The Most Exciting Hour of Television, streaming on WWE Network at 10/9 C tonight!

Opening hype video for Sasha vs. Bayley was great.

Going to laugh if Sasha somehow loses the belt tonight considering her streak with title reigns or if this big hyped up match ends in a no contest or DQ considering WWE's recent booking habits.

Smackdown Women's title match was very good.

Probably could have done without the Super Cena-like "overcoming the odds" booking Sasha got at the end since Bayley quickly tapping out made her look weak considering all the punishment Sasha was getting before it.

:lol: at Kayla making fun of Jey Uso's low status in the Reigns' tribe.

:| at this never-ending Mysterio Family shitty telenovela still going on. Whatever momentum and future potential big star status Dominik got earlier from this storyline is basically all gone by now.

WWE managed to go 45 minutes before they screwed around with the fake crowd audio buttons too much and making a mess of the show's audio.

Guess Murphy and Aalyah were screwing backstage based on that revealing clothing Aaylah was wearing and her having to fix her top while coming down to ringside.

Forget Retribution's terrible storyline and handling, this never-ending Mysterio Family shit gets my vote for worst WWE storyline this year.

Ruby Riot does not pull off the green hair like Shotzi.

:lol: at Zelina being way too blatant at breaking her pin attempt.

This show fell off a cliff hard these last 20-25 minutes.

Guess Murphy still works for Rollins which barely makes sense considering how his recent storyline direction was going.

Poor Otis. First his MitB case gets taken away and now his chance to rep Team Blue Brand at Survivor Series.

LOL is this dude serious right now??

They bullied me after I kept calling them racial and derogatory names, the jerks!

:| Murphy really did rejoin Rollins and now teasing at possibly dragging Aaylah into the group.

Think by now I'd rather have Kane hook up a car battery to my nuts ala Shane McMahon back in the day and get jolted for 2 hours than sit through any more of this Mysterio Family shit.

Not sure if Lars is getting turned on with this retelling of his school bullying story. Way too much heavy breathing going on.

Bruce Prichard and/or Vince must have been smoking crack when the latter half of the script for tonight's show was being written.

Peanut butter and crack sandwich

:lol: at Kevin Owens getting headbutted in the nuts.

Uso vs. Owens was pretty good.

This week's episode was mostly average overall. First 40-45 minutes were very good and then mostly junk afterwards. Still stand by the stance that someone had to be on drugs when they came up with the latter half of the show's script.

Is this the saddest thread on the forum?

What better way to celebrate the monumental 205th episode of 205 Live than with a pulse-pounding Fatal 5-Way Match to determine who will get a future NXT Cruiserweight Championship Match?

Curt Stallion, August Grey, Ashante “Thee” Adonis, Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari will match wits and fists to earn an opportunity at the crown jewel of the purple brand.

Since his arrival last month, Stallion has taken 205 Live by storm, picking up a pair of wins against Daivari (one by disqualification) and suffering a narrow loss against Nese. Most recently, Stallion recruited his longtime friend Grey for a tag team match against Daivari and Nese, though the 205 Live newcomers were defeated in controversial fashion.

Speaking of Grey, the 205 Live rookie isn’t short on charisma or in-ring bona fides, as he showed during last week’s tag team match. Will we see an alliance between Grey and Stallion when the bell rings, or will it truly be every man for himself?

After suffering through a lengthy losing streak, Adonis started receiving some unsolicited teachings from The Brian Kendrick. In subsequent weeks, Adonis has become a more focused competitor and even scored a victory over The Man With a Plan on 205 Live. Adonis has also turned some heads on NXT, most notably coming to the aid of Isaiah "Swerve" Scott and attacking Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza during "Swerve's" NXT Cruiserweight Title Match with Santos Escobar at NXT TakeOver 31. Adonis will need to keep his head on a swivel for what is arguably the biggest match of his career.

Nese, who has formed an alliance with Daivari in recent weeks, is the only former Cruiserweight Champion in the bout and has enjoyed a recent hot streak, as he’ll enter the fray with four consecutive wins on the purple brand.

Daivari has routinely rolled out the welcome mat for 205 Live newcomers, only to quickly chastise them and look for an immediate edge over his newfound peers. All the while, Daivari hasn't been shy about proclaiming himself and Nese as the O.G.s of the purple brand. Will he once again look to join forces with Nese to overwhelm the 205 Live rookies?

For whomever emerges triumphant, their work will just be getting started. Escobar has established himself as a dominant champion since capturing the vacant title in May, retaining against the likes of “Swerve” and Jake Atlas. And on the rare occasion that Escobar has been reeling in title fights, Legado del Fantasma have been there to provide an assist, making the task of dethroning Escobar significantly more daunting.

Who will earn a future NXT Cruiserweight Title Match against Santos Escobar? Find out tonight during the landmark 205th episode of 205 Live, streaming on WWE Network at 10/9 C!

I like this Drew/Reigns stuff.

Drew's beard gives me a boner.

Yeah that promo segment between the two was very good.

Although wouldn't make sense to tease that match for Survivor Series if Drew isn't winning the title off of Orton next week but then you run into another issue of them booking a completely useless title reign for Orton if that happens.

Jey Uso is such a little bitch now.

Is Sammy Zayne still feuding with Bobby Lashly? It's been like 2 years now lol

Sammy is one dirty green wifebeater away from completing his transformation to Skinner.

Who's this bald guy making matches? Is he GM?

I want to suck a turd out of Sasha Banks ass.

Rey's eye covering on his mask looks like its being held together via Velcro.

Don't remember it looking that weird before but then again barely paid attention from how boring his story related stuff has mostly been these past few months.

Adam Pearce and no but he somehow has match making powers despite never being named in that official role.

Not sure if its still the case but before he became an on-screen character, he was the person in charge of 205 Live behind-the-scenes.

Going to laugh if Otis goes right back to tag wrestling with Chad Gable as his new partner.

WWE really needs to stop fudging around with the fake crowd volume button since their shenanigans are now messing up the audio for entrance theme music.

was that a 619 botch i saw?

:lol: at Rey botching the 619

Rey vs. Rollins was very good.

Thank god this shitty storyline is over. Need to find a gif to express how happy I feel right now.

Ecstatic Daniel Bryan on Talking Smack feels about right:
https://i.imgur.com/tLATtOS.gif

and in honor of Rey vanquishing this feud, might as well honor him with the yearly lawn dart gif since its currently Nashvember.

https://i.imgur.com/CR6a5nb.gif

Its nice of Rey to give Buddy Murphy permission to bang his daughter.

Natalya saying she's the " BOAT " is probably the funniest fucking thing i've ever seen on WWE television.

Natalya's ass is known to spring a leak like a BOAT.

Nice of WWE to finally remember that they actually called up Chelsea Green several months ago.

Also Green somehow is now on Smackdown despite not actually being drafted it during last month's festivities.

Natalya is so ugly. I wish she would retire.

:lol: at Green not being the final member of Team Blue Brand Women.

Also Natty now lost all three qualifier matches she was involved in.

Drew vs. Jey Uso was pretty good. Laughed a bit at Uso losing to Drew's finisher outta nowhere since Drew no sold the pummeling of punches he took right before it.

This week's episode was decent overall. The opening promo segment with Drew and Reigns and the Rey vs. Rollins match were the only really interesting stuff tonight.

Drew Winning the belt Monday just so they can avoid Orton vs Reigns at SS and so Orton can get #15 at..I guess..tlc?

Why did they break up New Day just to stick Big E with the Street Profits in every segment he is in? It makes zero sense

Whelp that explains why she barely did anything in the women's fatal four-way match for a spot on the Blue Brand women's team for Survivor Series.
