SMACKDOWN LIVE SUPERTHREAD

Apparently the match isn't happening tonight

SureYWouldntYa · 21-11-2017 10:39pm

Was the rematch ever supposed to happen tonight?

I think the Jinder experiment is over

Theres no way they’d be calling AJ the best in ring performer of this generation unless theyre going to keep him on a top for a period, Paul Heyman has been hyping AJ up more than anyone in a long time

Then you also have Jinders match in India now being against Triple H, the experiment has to be done

Looking like

ruby riot and Liv Morgan

are going to be getting called up. Also word that

a Raw woman is jumping brands to Smackdown, but not known who yet.

Becky leaving Smackdown? Maybe they do something with her being the captain and getting eliminated first.

PTH2009 · 22-11-2017 2:16am

so KO and Zayn were about to get fired by Shane but Daniel Bryan came out and put them in a lumberjack match vs the new day instead

The start of a Shane and Bryan fall out ???

PTH2009 · 22-11-2017 2:44am

ohhh Shane trusting Bryan to run the rest of the show

Liv Morgon, Ruby Riot and Sarah Logan debuted tonight on SD and attacked Naomi and Becky Lynch

J. Marston · 22-11-2017 2:52am

Either Becky was selling great or that bump off the container really hurt.

Krooshma · 22-11-2017 2:54am

what is it with Shane and his stuttering promos? Every time he is on he stammers and seems nervous at the beginning..
and for someone who has been on wwe tv for years, Natalya is an appalling actor and her promos are just woeful

Furious-Red · 22-11-2017 3:38am

Anyone think they should have left Ruby Riot with shorter hair?? Feel she kinda looks a lot like Paige now

HandsomeBob · 22-11-2017 8:28am

Sarah Logan impressed me in the MYC so glad to see her get a chance. The only comment I'll make about both team call ups is that they seem randomly put together. Hopefully at the very least they made sure they have chemistry.

It very much reminds me of the randomness of the revolution when it first began. I wouldn't expect either "teams" to be kept together for very long.

I don't know what you're talking about.

They could have at least waited 24 hours before running the "The goth, pretty blonde and tough brunette attack the champion" angle again...

It has all the makings of a “Who can book it better?” contest. :pac:

Maybe WWE have their own ATH competition running at the moment?

Christ they wouldn’t last one round up against the standard in there, it’s excellent. I always think about putting the name in when it comes up, but then I see the ideas that people come up with and realise I’d be wiped out quickly.

Lord TSC · 22-11-2017 9:55am

I was trying to work out my frustration with this show and finally did.

What were the consequences of Smackdown losing Survivor Series? The Shane/Owens feud is still exactly where it was after HIAC really, and despite their efforts to say Owens and Zayn cost them, they interefered when it was Orton/Shane vs Brawn/Angle/HHH, so yeah, they were screwed by then anyway.

But what is the long term damage done by that loss? What were the consequences? What characters changed or developed as a result of what we watched?

J. Marston · 22-11-2017 11:22am

Alexa, Mandy, Liv Morgan. Do WWE grow them in a lab?

paulie21 · 22-11-2017 12:50pm

Think they might do Kevin Owens team v Shane McMahon team with the loser leaving Smackdown with Bryan costing Shane the match

Add Carmella to that list. But yes it's the same lab that makes the dark haired vaguely exotic backstage interviewers.

a moody heel Daniel Bryan could work and align him with KO and Zayn.
Maybe WWE might have a change of heart and let him return to the ring but take minimal bumps

This whole thing does seem to be leading to a Bryan heel turn. Having him as the leader of a stable with Owen & Zayn sounds good.

But I reckon it will ultimately leading to Bryan's on screen sacking for when his contract expires.

I imagine if Shane does leave wwe for a few months and Heel Bryan takes over SD leading to this. Shane will return and take charge. Who else could do a Commissioner/GM role if both Shane/Bryan are gone ????

Getting a team of Bryan/KO/Sami booed in 2017? Best of luck with that Vince.

This is Vince's logic here... he's prob thinking look at Sami & Bryan they're so small and Owens is fat... boo those people. God Damn it pal I'd boo them.

And it would make perfect sense that Vince would think Shane is more over than Bryan. The McMahons are fond of an auld ego massage from time to time.

CastorTroy · 22-11-2017 10:28pm

I was expecting Bryan to side with Sami and Owens at the end, but wasn't sure how it would happen.

So Baron Corbin suddenly has brand loyalty, despite being a lone wolf.

I hope the 2 sets of call ups happened the same week for a reason. I remember the talk before about a NXT invasion angle. With War Games at the weekend, it seems it would be good to build up to a Bragging Rights War Games PPV between the 3 brands with the men coming in over the next while as well.
And what are you on about the women's angle being the same both nights. On Raw, the ring attack took place before the backstage attack while SD had the ring attack after the backstage attack.
I would like to see Becky come out of nowhere for the rescue every week though. But not with the same ending. The door slamming looked painful. Like Alexa being rammed off everything last night looked.

I know we're not supposed to remember more than 3 months in the past, but "Harper and Rowan for the first time ever"? And in their best Kane gear.

I was reminded, though, that Psych the movie is on December 7th, which I had actually forgotten about.

Angron · 23-11-2017 10:30am

They've also gotten the name shortening treatment now, so no "Luke" or "Erick" any more. As the name shortenings go, that one seems particularly daft given they've been on the main roster for near enough 5 years now.
