Yeet

Necro

Jey's Smackdown replacement is also set to be announced I read somewhere.

Will it still be Cody or maybe Sami or KO?

CastorTroy

Probably Cody so he can continue his story, unless they plan on having him win the Royal Rumble again.

JP Liz V1

A poor no music non reaction to Mr. Mickie James, Nick Aldis as Smackdown GM but does the crowd know him

KO to SD

Cotts72

It was possibly the easiest way to do it, a full entrance could have done like a lead balloon...slowly ease him in..he's comfortable on the mic so should do ok

sioda

KO is a good move leaves Sami and him not needing a turn breakup and allows for a reunion if needed.

The crowd in general was very up and down

JP Liz V1

Jade vs. Charlotte tease?

Necro

Would not be one bit surprised if Jade wins the Rumble and faces Charlotte at Mania given the way she's being pushed.

ThePott

Thought that was a banger of a Smackdown.

Nick Aldis came off well and thought the opening segment between Knight and Reigns was class. Really seemed like a stacked show, makes sense since it's that vague season premiere they always do.

Jade definitely is being presented as a big deal.

Magnus and Eli Drake at the top of Smackdown in 2023, nice to see

J. Marston

"I'm a big fan.....of your Dad."

Great line.

JP Liz V1

Is Dom allowed on all shows as WWE's top heel 😄

Yes Jade really is getting the mvp mega big deal treatment even more than Ronda got imho

JP Liz V1

Paul Heyman going back to black hair for Roman's return acknowledging his tribal chief 😄

JP Liz V1

It seems LA Knight against Roman for the title is official for Crown Jewel

CastorTroy

And there we have the tease for WarGames.

Jimmy stealing Mello's "Him".

So Dragon Lee's part of the Smackdown roster now?

Funny they keep announcing Cena as Greatest of all time and he talks about how he hasn't won a match in 5 years.

How stupid of Charlotte trying to spear Iyo while she was just trying to move the title, that Dakota accidentally dropped into the ring, out of the ring. I was wondering where Bianca had gone. Though I'm sure I'll be bored seeing her again soon.

ThePott

Decent Smackdown, not as good as recent weeks.

Opening promo was a bit meh. Iyo/Charlotte was pretty good even with the dirty finish. Interested to see what they do with Bianca if it's not just title chasing again.

Some pop for Jey too.

Enjoyed the tension between Pearce and Aldis, could make a good Wargames as WWE have a lot of over people right now.

JP Liz V1

Jey is really over

Jimmy gets no reaction and is just meh for me

Looks like SD GM will be heelish wonder whose life in SD he will make unbearable could it be LA, a management authority feud always is decent, fighting against the odds

What happened Shotzi, thought she was in a Bayley feud?

Bianca vs. Iyo also rumoured

JP Liz V1

Friday LA Knight Smackdown, enjoyable segment between Reigns and Knight, the cocky anti hero face similar to SCSA

Logan vs. KO one punch 😄 tease

PTH2009

There hardly going to pull the trigger with LA Knight and have him be the one esp if Roman is potentially missing Survivor Series

J. Marston

Shocked that the Bloodline can be entertaining after this long...

Don't do it to yourself, Roman ain't dropping the title

CastorTroy

I was wondering if everything that happened at that signing was scripted like Knight taking Roman's seat. If it was they did it well enough that it seemed improvised.

JP Liz V1

• Tonight
• 
  
• Logan Paul and Rey Mysterio weigh in
• 
  
• Bianca Belair vs. Bayley

CastorTroy

Austin not knowing Halloween would be over by the time this aired. Was just checking and looks like it was recorded last week.

JP Liz V1

Apparently there is a turn tonight, obvious being Santos

Is US Champ Logan Paul scheduled or is he still showering with the title 😄

JP Liz V1

https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1723102912937640245

I expect something with Theory and Waller

CastorTroy

I assume if the Smackdown women are having the WarGames match, we'll see the setup tonight.

Though looking at the Smackdown roster, I don't see who the teams would be. Would assume Iyo, Kairi, Bayley at least against Charlotte, Shotzi and Bianca? Maybe Michin and Asuka in there as well?

Well Team Damage CTL Warriors is set, is Dakota cleared for in ring?

LA ROCK STONE COLD KNIGHT KILLED ON THE MIC WITH WALLER, WHO Looked about to laugh, Waller effect a std 😁
