For the first time since October I'm not watching the opening of smackdown. Why bother ?

Chuck Noland

Chuck Noland

Chuck Noland

Talk about an over sell! Segment was rubbish

Goldberg getting a title shot. Incredible.

I hope they’re not looking at Goldberg vs Reigns at Mania for the title...

They remember the rematch clause when it suits don't ya know.

ThePott

What crime did we commit to have to still endure this Roman/Corbin feud. I actually think at this point their plan is to just drag it out so long that whatever feud or opportunity they give Reigns he will not be booed. The feud is going until SSD so they will only have one month to build his Mania match. Goldberg vs. The Fiend has a tiny bit of interest if only because it will either be a squash or rubbish.

Smackdown is dreadful at the moment, Daniel Bryan and the Otis story are the only thing keeping my attention.

EDIT- Kinda weird they had Naomi lose too. She had some momentum.

CastorTroy

Yeah Naomi not winning was weird but taking the pin was even weirder. Was sure she would win. I'd see through it if they were looking for a match to put on at Super Showdown, but that likely won't happen. This match will probably happen next week.
So when does Once Upon A Time On The Dirt Sheet open?

I really hope Super Showdown is used to end feuds. But with Elimination Chamber happening a week later, dunno what will happen.

So Goldberg can just appear via satellite and get a title shot? Who knew it was that easy.

sky88

I’d honestly much prefer Goldberg/roman at mania than what it looks like roman/bray

ThePott

Yeah I could maybe see them having Carmella win for a title match and that they're hoping it can be at Super ShowDown but won't announce until last minute.

SMC92Ian

Oh ffs I'm done with Smackdown. It's a waste of time and an insult to use fans.

When did the Reigns/Corbin feud start?

The White Wolf

That was possibly the first Otis segment I didn't enjoy. Vince all over it with the bad slapstick.

Spoilers abound for Elimination Chamber, after a channel was running ads for it in America.

EC will determine who faces Bray for th

So will Otis and Mandy have a good or bad date?

Good date, and he might get lucky initially

But she'll turn on him in the next month, since they rarely let things play out long term

They could easily run them as a couple for the next 5/6 months and then break them up with a Mandy heel turn, cheating on him with Bobby Roode (or any tanned guy with a 6 pack)

They'll go for the easier heel heat for Mandy though

J. Marston

Otis' big night. I'm actually looking forward to seeing what they do. I think they've done a great job with this.

sky88

Looking forward to seeing what they do too
