All he said was after SS he felt like he was in a car crash.

I have enjoyed Ellsworths shennigans. But due a big beat down so AJ can claim some heat, and hopefully he gets written off until the rumble for a surprise entrant slot.

He is in danger of being ran into teh crowd though, so I hope WWE are clever in how they book him going forward.

Doesn't matter there's no money in him long term. Its just a nice gimmick with ambrose playing aj's foil. Elsworth's shelf life and run will be over around rumble time then confined to the scrapheap IMO.

J. Marston · 23-11-2016 10:03pm

Styles is great. That finishing spot with leg in the ropes could've looked so clumsy and forced but he made it look so natural.

Omackeral · 23-11-2016 10:35pm

Did anyone else notice the shoddy camera work/commentary/stalling on the Kalisto and Baron Corbin exchange? It's like everyone from the monkeys in the truck to the superstars F'd that one up royally.

Yep I noticed that too. They shot to a empty section of the crowd where Corbin was obviously meant to have been and kalisto stood on top of the rope for ages. It looked like Corbin completely missed his queue.

kronsington · 23-11-2016 11:59pm

I have to say, I cannot stand Ambrose. Have never liked him at any point in his wwe tenure thus far..Very average in the ring and, in my opinion, he is terrible on the mic. His schtick is tiresome and he is painfully unfunny and tries way too hard. The character is stale and could do with a makeover. Maybe he'd work as an effective heel but there's nothing interesting about this guy

CastorTroy · 24-11-2016 2:28am

Hoping when Nattie starts feuding with Nikki and still quotes songs, that she says to Nikki "So you think you're untouchable"

I used to like him, but they've completely lost their way with him. They went from 'unhinged' funny to 'unhinged' just plain annoying with him. Or maybe it's him himself, I don't know.

But they managed to screw up what should have been one of the most insanely over faces of this decade in a returning Seth Rollins so I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt on this.

A Rogue Hobo · 26-11-2016 1:48pm

Yeah as I've said before Ambrose is horribly overrated in the ring, he's very plodding and slow and a lot of his spots don't make a whole lot of sense. He also handles his character poorly too I feel. The way I look at it, I can't buy someone being a lunatic if he himself keeps telling me that he is a lunatic and wears t-shirts saying he should in an asylum. It comes off as a bit desperate.

Ali Bomaye · 26-11-2016 3:46pm

The bit with Ambrose dressed up as the Mountie is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
Also had a good chuckle at Bryan on talking smack not even trying to defend booking decisions and just outright stating he doesn't actually make the decisions.

PTH2009 · 26-11-2016 3:53pm

Expecting Bryan to be removed from the GM role (wrote off TV) when his daughter is born and he won't return for a while

Shane could leave after mania too

That time of the bastard week again, Smackdown Live's go home for the TLC PPV..

Preview..

Who will challenge the SmackDown Tag Team Champions at WWE TLC?
After battling their way through five other teams in a fierce Texas Turmoil on SmackDown LIVE last week, American Alpha must now go head-to-head with Randy Orton & Bray Wyatt tonight with the winner taking on SmackDown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater and Rhyno at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs this Sunday.

Since the moment they made their SmackDown LIVE debut, Jason Jordan & Chad Gable have been out to prove that they are the best tandem on Tuesday nights. However, can they stand tall against the rising scourge of The New Wyatt Family, still riding the horrific momentum from their huge victory in the 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Men’s Elimination Match?

Ellsworth is a SmackDown Superstar. Now what?
In case you’ve been living under a rock – and no, not the People’s Champion variety – James Ellsworth defeated WWE World Champion AJ Styles in a Ladder Match last week to become an official member of the SmackDown LIVE roster!

So, what happens next? Well, for starters, perhaps Team Blue’s newest competitor will start thinking about utilizing his newly-acquired WWE World Title Match – another byproduct of last week’s victory over The Phenomenal One. But will that be good for his overall health? Styles will no doubt want retribution on Ellsworth for the humiliation he has suffered in recent weeks, and that cannot be good for the chinless athlete. Then again, Ellsworth does currently hold three victories over “The Champ that Runs the Camp.” So who knows?

In any event, with AJ Styles ready to battle Dean Ambrose in a WWE TLC Match this Sunday at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, you can bet The Lunatic Fringe will have something to say (and do) about it. Ambrose welcomes James Ellsworth into the Ambrose Asylum tonight.

Is Alexa Bliss due for an Irish Lass Kicking?
Following a controversial finish to SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch’s title showdown against Alexa Bliss in Glasgow, Scotland, several weeks ago, the two Superstars once again clash this Sunday at WWE TLC.

Judging from Alexa’s attack on the titleholder last week, it’s safe to assume that their Survivor Series truce is all done. Becky will surely be out for payback, so expect both combustible elements to come at each other full force on the final show before their pay-per-view rematch. Perhaps the only remaining question is: Will there be anything left of either Superstar by the time Sunday rolls around?

SmackDown LIVE provides A-list opportunity to gain the advantage
Like him or hate him, no one can argue that The Miz is a tremendous Intercontinental Champion. Then again, with five reigns to his credit, Dolph Ziggler is no slouch himself.

So, as the longstanding adversaries gear up for an Intercontinental Title Ladder Match Intercontinental Title at WWE TLC, there’s no telling how far either will go on SmackDown LIVE to gain momentum. If history tells us anything, though, The Showoff had better keep one eye on his imminent opponent, and the other squarely on his crafty wife, Maryse.

Keep your seats as Corbin and Kalisto prepare for Chairs Match
Fair warning to Baron Corbin: Kalisto is ready to play your game … and you may be sorry that he is. Last week, after The Lone Wolf cost him both the Cruiserweight Title at Survivor Series and the Intercontinental Title on SmackDown LIVE, the masked Superstar invaded Corbin’s match against Kane and unleashed an excruciating steel chair assault.

Now that the two Superstars will officially face off in a Chairs Match at WWE TLC, it will be interesting to see whether either of these guys will be looking to get in some practice swings tonight.

James Ellsworths fame is now over thanks to AJ Styles

A ton of much needed hat for Styles

Mr.Nice Guy · 30-11-2016 3:25am

Maybe Ellsworth should be kept off TV until the Rumble. I've enjoyed the storyline but it's starting to feel a bit much for me now.

Realistically, it's only a slightly elevated version of the normal move.

But everyone involved sold it brilliantly. AJ with his smarmyness, Elsworth with his selling and the commentators' reactions, first being shocked and then the moments of silence.

I guess so. I was surprised it was allowed as a spot though given the move's already documented danger. Either way you are correct,everyone sold like a champion!

CastorTroy · 30-11-2016 8:21pm

Smackdown using "b!tch", "b*stard" and talking about Nikki's tiwns? Trying to be more PG-13?

Thought it was a pretty good show, leading into all the matches, apart from the tag match. Enjoyed the Becky/Alexa contract signing

Great job killing Ellsworth.

Now keep him off TV till the Royal Rumble and give the middle number between Brock and Goldberg and have the two of them destroy him again.

CastorTroy · 01-12-2016 12:32am

Appear next week again with a neck brace since that always seems to be the solution to all attacks. Maybe have him drinking flat 7Up as well

beakerjoe · 01-12-2016 11:50am

I really enjoyed Smackdown. It’s nothing blow away, but nothing seems like a waste of time. Everything goes at the right pace and it hit all the right notes going into the PPV for a go home show.

Becky and Alexa is set up nicely to a point where a few weeks ago I thought Becky would be a no brainer but now I’m not quite sure. Job done. And after their last match, I think they can up pull off an interesting match to say the least. It’s so much fresher than the Raw womens feud.

Carmella and Nikki is built up nicely again. Years ago this would be a try away bathroom break match, but now it means something. Though the winner of this may give away the winner of the other female battle.

Bray and Randy is a feud that I never wanted to see, yet SD once again makes you invest in this story and Randy is playing his part to perfection. Best Wyatt feud since Cena. I expect them to take the gold from Rhyno and Heath, but Randy could easily turn in a heartbeat on Bray (out of nowhere like ha). Again I’m invested, which is the main thing even if I think the match will be less than steller. Heath and Rhyno seem like interim champs though, waiting to be usurped

Ellsworth needed that to be written off and more importantly, AJ and Dean needed it. AJ gets the heat to make him credible as a heel (something Seth Rollins never got as Champ during his heel run) and he instantly looks like a man you don’t cross. Dean now has the fuel to lose the wackiness as he can focus on AJ and not be side-tracked by Ellsworths comedy Shtick. With AJ involved, and Deans fantastic bumping, I’m sure we will get a highly entertaining match, which makes the most out of the stip.

Overall its looking good for this PPV to be very much a home run show.

Great idea. Though Id love Goldberg and Brock to be squaring up to each other only for Ellsworths theme to hit.

sky88 · 01-12-2016 11:56am

There doing such a great job with the women on smackdown compared to raw of having good solid feuds with more the 2 of the wrestlers

Mr.Nice Guy · 02-12-2016 12:53am

Loved the Becky Lynch backstage promo this week. Maybe my favourite Becky promo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRx2ZzcuxLU

Ali Bomaye · 02-12-2016 1:15am

Becky had two talking segments on smackdown and was a guest on talking smack despite people claiming a few weeks ago that she's not being allowed to talk. She was excellent in all her segments and dealt with miz very well on talking smack.
Only about a half hour after the contact signing was great work by Carmella and Nikki Bella. Great to see a show push two major women's feuds at the one time.

The result of the main event should mean that American Alpha will be furious that they've earned a title match twice and still haven't received a title match.

AJ Styles has been on fire with his promos since turning heel and I am really looking forward to him and Ambrose in the TLC match. It's weird that Styles has been beat by James Ellsworth three times and it doesn't seem to have hurt him at all.

I can't wait for TLC, a good few feuds that have been going for the last few months look set to come to an end. Smackdown is such a good tv show. I look forward to it and talking smack every week and they never disappoint.

Bounty Hunter · 02-12-2016 1:45pm

I have no idea where the IC belt goes after those guys unless Corbin / Kalisto get involved that division is pretty thin. Think it looks like Dean might be free too and i'm also suspecting the dead man might get the next title feud from AJ (before then facing Cena at mania).

CastorTroy · 02-12-2016 2:01pm

Was just wondering, have Ryder and Hawkins met up since Hawkins came back? Maybe in an online exclusive or something?

My theory is that AJ and Dolph win their respective feuds this Sunday. AJ goes to work with taker at the rumble, Miz moves on to feud with Ambrose and Dolph, the new IC champ goes on to a new challenge. I dunno who that is as his feud with Corbin previously was horrible, and though Dolph himself has risen in stature since then, I fear a Corbin feud would undo that. (Not a fan of Corbin myself).

But Smackdown has had a nack of making the most out of its stars and direct feuds may cool off until after the rumble to an extent. You could have Ambrose, Miz, Dolph, Kalisto, Corbin, Kane, Bray and Orton all go into a program concerning the rumble and NXT promotions between now and the rumble could add depth too. (Tye Dillenger or Joe perhaps).

Ortons feud with Bray is going nicely for me too and I originally Expect it to end after the rumble so Orton can go on to face AJ Styles. Bray could go into a program with Dolph afterwards, which I would welcome.

Bounty Hunter · 02-12-2016 2:18pm

I think they will take their time with the Bray Randy thing so i'd say mania at most but tbh I like it and most of SDs stories in general. I'm not a 100% sure on the reason Taker will face AJ storyline wise but it makes sense if he is back for at least a Rumble (PPV) match as well as a Mania match plus build appearances & maybe a match or two on top of that which is what it sounds like. AJ & Cena vs Taker in matches (separate of course) would be nice anyway and yeah long term I could see Dean moving between mid card title feuds and the main event scene. I dunno if I think he will go straight from World title challenging to IC title challenging but him vs the Miz would work well as the main undercard feud to the Wyatt story (Tag champs?) and the World title.

Sirsok · 02-12-2016 2:21pm

With Nakamura scheduled to lose to Joe in Japan, and the elimination chamber being raw exclusive, is there anything to be said for Nakamura winning the Rumble as a Smackdown participant and then elimination chamber being used to decide Raws no.1 contender?

]Firstly I haven’t enjoyed Nakamura vs Joe as of yet. Two great talents and just not clicking. Im sure that’s a possibility, I feel anything can happen at this stage. I don’t think it’s a cert that Joe wins in Japan. On one side, WWE likes hometown heroes to lose but I feel they only took the belt of Nak so he can win it back in Japan. Also,

Bobby Roode is the number 1 contender and as of writing he’s still an obvious heel. Him versus Joe wouldn’t work as they are unless one turned and I don’t see any reason to turn either of them. Nak would be my choice to regain the gold and go on to face Roode with Joe hitting the Main roster. Which brand is a coin toss at this stage

.

sky88 · 02-12-2016 2:39pm

i think theyll string out randy/bray untill mania and have there match there. At a guess they win the titles then eventually drop it to usos or aa when randy turns on bray. well i hope something like that happens.

for sure i thought it was going to be cena/aj at mania but with taker hovering over im not so certain now.

then i think becky is turning heel to fight nikki at mania as well. Becky to be revealed to attack her at survivor series due to her being made captain even though she was the champ.

I was thinking the same thing. Carmella has been accussed and denied it, Nattie will be accused and a similar program will happen until a reveal. I wouldn't think Becky would be the most natural heel in WWE, but shes been heel on the indies before (her evil Irish dancer schtick) so its not unlikely. I have faith in the SD writing team to get the best out of a turn if that's the road they go down. They've done wonders with Carmella and Alexa, both have been slowly built up from literally nothing to seem important.

She had brief run on nxt as a heel she showed some promising heel tendencies to me but never fleshed it out fully.would agree that shes a natural face but i think they'll want a nikki title win as a comeback story.

theyll also end with a possible cena and nikki title wins for mania.

Bounty Hunter · 02-12-2016 4:21pm

Doubt that she would turn and would think that the attacker reveal would be Nikki Bellas plot heading into The Rumble not Mania. I def could see those two at mania though, i'd say it was the plan all along since the brand split. Easily the biggest match they can make and they both are present strong. The champ and first female draft pick vs The "WWE veteran" and Smackdown captain who gets storylines revolving around how she is Nikki Bella.

I feel like Bellas work better as Heels (and Becky as a face) but that it'd be face vs face going into it but one could turn at mania / after a loss.

i wonder would they say nikki faked the attack and she turns on becky. it would make no sense but its wwe its never stopped them before.

Furious-Red · 02-12-2016 6:36pm

If they turned Becky heel then they would only have Naomi and Nikki as faces. Id rather have Carmella win at TLC and go into a programme with Becky then you could have Alexa go with Nikki saying she attacked her since she should have been captain .......

If they did turn her, there is the possibility of Asuka maybe after Mania. Mickie James return for NXT could also be a possibility (though maybe not on the same brand as Cena/Nikki but who knows). Also Nattie isn't exactly heel or face and Carmella or even Alexa could turn the opposite way by the time she turns.

Chip Whitley · 02-12-2016 9:03pm

Real pity Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett weren't stil there for the draft split, they could have done well on the new Smackdown. Would have given the upper mid-card a nice boost at the very least.

Cant see her being pushed to the top of the division at this stage. I think its to early to turn either Alexa or Carmella imo. I can see Asuka going to Raw

That time of the week again.. Smackdown Live

After retaining his WWE World Title at TLC with a little help from James Ellsworth, can AJ Styles stop the rot or will Ellsworth go 4-0 against Styles and take from him the title he holds dear, tune in to find out..

Ellsworth to challenge AJ Styles for the WWE World Title
James Ellsworth stunned the WWE Universe at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs when he emerged from nowhere to betray his friend, Dean Ambrose, and pave the way for AJ Styles to retain his title in an absolutely brutal TLC Match on the award-winning WWE Network.

Explaining his actions on WWE Talking Smack afterward, Ellsworth went a step further by announcing that he will redeem his earned WWE World Title Match against “The Face That Runs the Place” tonight on SmackDown LIVE.

Though Ellsworth does technically hold three victories over Styles, it’s safe to say that Ambrose won’t be helping him this time around. In fact, considering that The Phenomenal One hates him and The Lunatic Fringe will be out for retribution, the chinless No. 1 contender’s best strategy for the imminent title showdown had better include a lot of running.

Did Natalya attack Nikki Bella at Survivor Series?
Nikki Bella may have triumphed over Carmella in an intense No Disqualification Match at WWE TLC Sunday night. However, The Princess of Staten Island quickly ruined Nikki’s celebration when she claimed that it was actually Natalya who carried out the mysterious backstage assault on her “Total Divas” co-star at Survivor Series.

Later in the pay-per-view, Natalya flat-out denied Carmella’s allegations, calling the claims “absurd” and her accuser “a liar.” But, did The Queen of Harts actually do it? Natalya went on to send out this tweet challenging Carmella to a fight tonight on SmackDown LIVE.

Rookies need to learn the consequences of opening their mouths. You talked at #WWETLC @CarmellaWWE but better be ready to fight on #SDLive!

Will she make Carmella pay for saying she did? Will Carmella accept her challenge? And will Nikki Bella herself have anything to say about it?

The New Wyatt Family defend their newly won SmackDown Tag Team Titles against Heath Slater & Rhyno in a WWE TLC rematch
A dark shroud has truly descended upon SmackDown LIVE. At WWE TLC, Bray Wyatt & Randy Orton vanquished Heath Slater & Rhyno to become the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The New Wyatt Family will now turn around tonight and defend the titles against Slater & Rhyno in a rematch, as first announced on WWE's official Twitter account.

Not only did they convincingly end the fairytale reign of Beauty & The Man Beast, but they’ve truly given themselves the foothold on Tuesday nights that The New Face of Fear has sought since WWE’s Brand Extension.

At the same pay-per-view, Alexia Bliss powerbombed Becky Lynch through a table to become the SmackDown Women’s Champion. The Wicked Witch of WWE demonstrated once again what a vicious competitor she is, but will the predator prove to be as dangerous now that she has become the prey? Does she have what it takes to stay on the top of the mountain, or will The Irish Lass Kicker (or another determined SmackDown competitor, for that matter) swiftly knock her back off?

You sure? We already have a team that have been doing that for over a year! Makes no sense for The Wyatts to do it as well, it pretty much means any 3 men can get together and be a TAG TEAM and all regular 2 man teams look like absolute donkeys for not having a third member.

95% positive as it's a rumour.. Here we go

Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton & Luke Harper are expected to follow New Day’s lead and defend their SmackDown tag titles under the Freebird Rule.

It's WWE, nothing ever really makes sense, hell I wouldn't be surprised if they followed Ring Of Honor's lead and brought in 6 man tag team championships in the near future..

Agent Coulson · 06-12-2016 11:51pm

So basically Orton & Harper managed by Wyatt 90% of the time.

How often did Woods wrestle he most managed and played the trombone.
