SMACKDOWN LIVE SUPERTHREAD

I remember B-Fab was first to be released before the remaining members were released a short while later.

Seems HHH is backtracking all those "budget cuts" now that they found a way to save millions.

So 2 questions: Who would be resigned if they hadn't gone to AEW? I would say UE. And when will Nia return? Maybe HHH knows even he can't do anything to help her, especially with Nikkita being the new and more mobile version.

Another John Morrison return with Taya/Franky? Though Tiffany Stratton seems to have the Franky character now.

He's got Trick on NXT so not on his own, then just replace the barbershop with a recording studio or something.

Drew has a back injury but is still expected for CATC

Yeah a repackaged Tbar/Dominik Dijakovic will be the new leader

Really hope that's Sheamus but I'd be cool with Sami too. Either match would be fantastic.

Twitter tells me this morning that Michael Cole called Sami El Generico last night!

Now that’s a chance that could start to draw me back to watching the Fed if it’s more than a tease.

Don't think I've seen a cop with that much makeup on before.

Why should we continue watching Smackdown when even their own people leave after one match like Bayley, Iyo and Dakota did? 😀 But good to see Toxic Attraction. Seeing the bracket made me realise Raquel could face Dakota. Though doubt they'll beat Toxic Attraction.

Maximum Male Models just leaving after getting knocked out of the ring? Not a good look. I'm sure some might like it, but hope live Hit Row performances aren't going to be a regular thing.

Found it funny how any offence against Sami was booed but when Sami wasn't involved they responded as expected, like cheering Ric. Not sure why they did the injury angle, unless it was either legit or they wanted to give him an excuse for losing. But just how he got up after the White Noise from the ropes didn't look good for the move. May be why Sheamus wasn't impressed.

So will this lead to the breakup of the Bloodline? Roman beginning to choose Sami over Jay. Since Sami was there for him this week and sacrificed himself.

Was that Sarah Logan with the Viking Raiders? May just have been for that video and not an actual return.

I expect Kross to be the reason Drew loses to Roman.

Another very good Smackdown. At this point it's becoming a streak 🤣

Didn't think Toxic Attraction would get the win and doubt Nikita/Zoey would have had they been the match so fair play and the package they played as they entered did an excellent job of setting them up and why they were a big deal (they've done well with these lately).

I'm okay with Maximum Male Models running from conflict as part of their gimmick is wearing outfits, so they're not in ring gear and can't have a match but hoping they get their own back next week or soon. On the other hand, I was fine with Hit Row coming back, that segment was the drizzles. Went far too long, they also tried this in NXT and even with Swerve it didn't work. Was a real swing and a miss.

Sheamus winning was the right choice and that match should absolutely slap.

The highlight of the show was all the Sami Zayn stuff, him and the Bloodline has been fun but that segment with him and Roman was excellently executed and got me intrigued. It did so much for both of their characters. I think we're building to an Usos Vs KO/Sami tag match and I'm here for it.
