So who would be the big names on Smackdown? Raw now has the likes of Cena and Brock. SD has AJ and Owens?

Styles
KO
Nakamura
Orton
Y2J (when's he's around)
New Day are kinda big

Wwe are trying to make Bobby Roode into a big player but will his gimmick be able for the main roster or will it get stale and annoying fast ???

Mahel, Corbin and Rusev are missing something while one of them is being used as a marketing tool for India

SD is only 2 hours while Raw is 3 hours

CastorTroy

I personally wouldn't count Nakamura. He wouldn't have the broad appeal to attract people who didn't know him before SD.

Lord TSC

Corey Graves going to be JBLs replacement.

McGuniess takes over from Graves on 205 and Main Event.

Thrilled. Graves is brilliant. Presume he pulls double duty with Raw.

Angron

JBL leaves, and things immediately get better.

CastorTroy

I was trying to think who could replace him and for some reason i thought they might go with a woman. Though highly doubt it will happen. Could imagine his reaction to finding out he was replaced by a woman.

Christ, I don’t watch WWE programming in weeks and I tune in to catch the most savage promo I’ve ever seen from Owens, telling Shane-o-Mac that his family (especially his kids) would have been better off if he’d been killed in that helicopter crash!!!!

Pentecost

I give even less of a crap about Ziggler now than I did before all that nonsense.

Yea loved the promo myself and it made the feud more personal and made you hate Owens even more (which we are supposed to do)

Jerichoholic

Watched for Nakamura/Orton. Was very good really, wish they'd give Nakamura a 20 minute match with Orton/Cena or AJ.

Furious-Red

It wasnt the worst of Smackdowns imo

PTH2009

yeah it was a good SD

Shane is suspended for attacking Owens, i wonder where they will go with this ??? is Daniel Bryan now Commissioner ??

They need to get the title off Jindar and i really hope Nakamura goes too win it and really kick start his main roster run

Aj Styles is a little wasted in the Us title picture but he will move back into the main event scene pretty soon

Really hope Vince is not going to announce another superstar shake up next week

CIARAN_BOYLE

Has Jinder won a match clean yet since he came to smackdown. I don't always watch an doften just watch highlights but I think all his wins have with assistance.

J. Marston

Wish Dolph would inflict his comedy somewhere else.

Christ, he is a pain.

Furious-Red

Is the Indian tour over before HIAC?? Yea everytime Jinder is on screen i just fast forward the whole segment and hoping they get the title off Jinder at HIAC.

Isnt Zigglers contract up soon? Was kinda hoping Naomi would come out and superkick Ziggler after his version of her entrance :pac::pac:

Im guessing we will get a Shane vs KO match at some stage. Would be great to have Kevin get Bryan fired in order to get his own show which leads to Shane return with his job on the line etc (would be great to have Bryan turn heel tho)

Yeah as far as I know the tour ends sometime in September so they can take it off Jinder in hiac.

I'm gone YouTube only on WWE now.
I like Dolph in ring but those 'skits' were so bad afterwards I hated myself for wasting my time watching it. :mad:

Bounty Hunter

Some guesses:

Vince to announce Shane vs Owens in the HIAC, with some stip included to sweeten the deal for Owens and avoid a kayfane lawsuit i.e if he beats him Shane he replaces him running things literally making it the Kevin Owens show

Dolph to do what he did for Nakamura again and be the first PPV feud and win for the newest main event talent to have come from NXT but in this case the Glorious Bobby Roode who kinda sums up the kinda wrestler he was referring to with his promo.

Long term AJ & Jinder to swap roles, with Mahal as the anti American mid card heel holding the US title but AJ in the world title scene facing people like Nakamura in main event matches.

PTH2009

i wonder will Styles drop the US title at HIAC and move on to face WWE champ Nakamura (if he wins the title) for survivor series ???

more importantly we could get styles vs nakamura on the 2nd Nov in Dublin :D

edit looked up the 3arena website and saw this lineup

WWE Championship Fatal Five Way Match
AJ Styles
vs Shinsuke Nakamura
vs Baron Corbin
vs Kevin Owens
vs Jinder Mahal w/The Singh Brothers
***

Line-up subject to change

Natalya, Carmella and Tamina w/ Lana and James Ellsworth

I wonder if this means Ellsworth is jumping ship and forming a stable with Lana and Tamina?

Funnily enough, there's no tour, and there never was.

I think it's more just clunky formatting, rather than sticking his name on the middle of the active participants.

I was looking through live dates and found it odd not seeing any Indian dates

Seriously dis Jinder Mahel Publicity stunt has gone on long enough

PTH2009

'WWE will be holding two Raw live events this December in New Delhi, India at the 16,000 seat Indira Ghandi Indoor Stadium. WWE will hold the events on Friday, December 7th and Saturday, December 8th. Also, WWE will be returning to Abu Dhabi for a live event on Thursday, December 6th at the Zayed Sports City Tennis Stadium'

Seems like it's the RAW crew touring India this year, I wonder will they keep the title in Jinder and move him to Raw for the tour ???. Poor raw Crew there in Europe early November and then a month jetting off too the Middle East

Fúck me, if that means 3 more months of Jinder as champion...

CastorTroy

Even better. He'll be the undisputed champion, with both belts.

Wrestling is in a bad way on boards atm if the preview is only been linked now anyway it's a 'sin city Smackdown' with 3 title matches and Vince McMahon returns to confront Kevin Owens

CastorTroy

I'd say at least one title will change hands.

PTH2009

Keyfabe Vince must be doing business in a hotel or at a casino but in reality is and has been in the arena all day
