SMACKDOWN LIVE SUPERTHREAD

I agree with the tag and Seth"s match I think Seth will turn heel. Cody will win with I say Reigns getting a Rock Bottom after.

Seth will then transfer to Smackdown and fued with Cody. But given The Rock is starting filming a new film after I have no idea if they can continue his angel.

Was just thinking with the men's battle royal, that we haven't had a women's one in a while. Looked it up and they only had 2 with the second/last in 2019. Seems the pandemic stopped them. Surprised they didn't start again.

Of course, the fact the battle royal is on Smackdown kinda defeats the purpose since wasn't the original reason for it happening to get more wrestlers a Mania spot/payday.

Deserved winner in Bronson Reed

I think we might get an angle of Orton and Owens destroying Waller and theory...leading to their spot in the tag match being taken

Update: maybe not 😂

Good call on Bronson winning, but overall a messy match

Yeah the match is really turning into a big mess and fans don't really care tbh

Pointless Smackdown. Highlight was probably LA Knight accidentally swallowing his gum mid-promo. I enjoyed the Logan-KO-Randy stuff. I also like that they didn't do the usual, faces turning on each other because "there'll be no friends in the match tomorrow", just seems obvious.

Outside of that this was mostly packages (which they can save for the weekend), they clearly didn't want anyone on the card to take any major risks or gave them a chance to rest up (which is good but doesn't make for a very exciting watch).

The Andre Battle Royal was a mess as it often is. Good choice to win in Bronson Reed. Hope Tozawa is alright, that was rough.

Few things to add to your post. Jade actually went semi-viral before she even debuted in AEW for her cosplay as Storm ( https://www.cbr.com/x-men-jade-cargill-storm-cosplay/ ) She had done other cosplays but that one hit big.

As for Zelina, it's a Chancla. She introduced it last year at Backlash in Puerto Rico, it's a sort of cultural reference to the Latin-American community. Basically what Latina mothers would use for punishment with their kids, basically their equivalent of the 'wooden spoon'. She was doing it before Toni debuted as Timeless Toni Storm.

..

Bobby or KO probably

I don't think they'd be thick enough to put Owens against Cody in a French speaking country for fear of fans going against Cody.

I'd like to think it would be a heel; so AJ Styles probably, by process of Elimination. Santos Escobar has no right to be in those two Triple Threat matches.

Rumours of Toma tanga in town , wonder if he or Jacob Fatu will make a bloodline related appearance

Update : I wonder are we getting a bloodline split with Solo/Jacob Fatu becoming the leader of a new Bloodline…leading to reigns turning face and reuniting the OG Bloodline with the USOs v Solo, TTonga and Jacob Fatu at Summer slam?
