Best thing for Bryan, gets screen time and protected in matches to certain points.

Wonder if its easing him back in to protect him working if he was injured post Mania. Rowan is the pits tho; its a pity its not Bryan and Harper instead.

Had to laugh at AJ saying how much he missed Smackdown Live when he only got drafted like 2 or 3 weeks ago :pac::pac:

That and what is the difference between the fans that he missed so much?

So can the Miz be fined or fired now or do The Usos count as 1?

Agent Coulson · 08-05-2019 5:53pm

If anyone can get a Tag Team Evolution going and have a Tag Team Match Main Event Wrestlemania it will be Daniel Bryan!!

CastorTroy · 08-05-2019 5:56pm

Speaking of tag teams, no sign of Iiconics. And is there a more awkward looking team than Paige, Asuka and Kairi?

J. Marston · 08-05-2019 5:58pm

Kofi has defended the the title on Raw and Smackdown this week now.

I really don't want this to be common, don't turn the WWE title into a glorified TV title.

MITB is next weekend and have they announced his title match yet?
Owens I assume.

CastorTroy · 08-05-2019 6:27pm

Yeah they mentioned it on this episode that Owens was fighting Kofi

Lithium93_ · 14-05-2019 9:17pm

So Asuka and Kairi Sane has been named the

Kabuki Warriors

.

J. Marston · 14-05-2019 9:26pm

I'm alright with that.

Fairly sure Asuka's mask is Kabuki so it fits, I guess.

Itssoeasy · 14-05-2019 10:05pm

So who's going to use the green mist first then ?

CastorTroy · 14-05-2019 10:42pm

Asuka seems more like a mist person than Kairi.
Paige just looks so out of place with them and not just because she's about half a foot taller than them.

Plus she's much younger than both. Not like she's imparting her experience on them.

Strange pairing.

I always love how one poster puts something in spoilers then the next poster spoils it

ERG89 · 15-05-2019 12:20am

Given their record I was expecting half expecting

Takeshi's Castle

She doesn't look younger tbh....

these alisteir black promos are ridiculous

Rock Lesnar · 15-05-2019 9:55am

I said it before and i'll say it again, theres a world title run in Shane McMahon, only a matter of time, best in the world

"Racist".

Twitter, Reddit and a few news sites have gone with that stance too. Would they ever shìte off.

I was thinking that a few weeks back as he’s far too involved on the physical side of things these days. Best in the world ! Only right to give him a title run !

I kind of understand it.

Paige was brilliant as the face GM of Smackdown, and they cut her from the role for a stupid short term angle (which has since been dropped). So I can appreciate they wanted to find something for her to do, and manager feels the best fit.

Likewise, Auska and Kairi struggle with promos, cause of the language barrier, and probably did need some sort of manager to help carry them a bit.

The issue is that they took two acts that needed what the other offered and put them together, when realistically they needed OTHER acts. Paige needed a better face act to manage, and Auska/Kairi needed someone who had absolutely anything in common with them.

Agent Coulson · 21-05-2019 6:52pm

I'm going to say the 24/7 title chances hands 7 times during Smackdown.

PTH2009 · 21-05-2019 7:28pm

Big E back tonight it seems ???

Would be a good time for him too turn heel on the new day and go out on his own. He has what it takes

sky88 · 21-05-2019 7:45pm

Really like stuff like this hopefully more like this than last night

ThePott · 21-05-2019 7:50pm

Drake Maverick is amazing, wish we got more of him.
That's what I want out of the 24/7 title.

Also love Maverick's avatar on Instagram :pac:

CastorTroy · 21-05-2019 9:02pm

Drake can just wait for Truth to bring the "European Championship" to Smackdown tonight

https://twitter.com/RonKillings/status/1130898059846725632

This is where the title will shine. Social media posts.
Safe to say Brock will never win it if he has to defend it 24/7

PTH2009 · 22-05-2019 3:43am

Dolph Ziggler ffs

I read this with no context of the situation he appeared in & I agree :pac:

sky88 · 22-05-2019 8:39am

We really cursed with dolph for ever aren’t we

J. Marston · 22-05-2019 10:32am

I am convinced Ziggler is a final boss type of character. You don't win a feud against him, you survive it.

If you can come out the other side with the audience still vaguely interested in you, you are blessed.

Seth passed the test last year. Drew didn't. Good luck, Kofi.

Lord TSC · 22-05-2019 12:17pm

Apparently KO is refusing to do the Saudi show (and Sami, as far as I know, CAN'T do the show), Dolph is back for that.

As poor as the intrdouction was for the 24/7 title, the midcard chaos on Smackdown, coupled with Drake/Truth's stuff on social media, was brilliant.

Lord TSC · 22-05-2019 3:34pm

Bryan also not going.

CastorTroy · 22-05-2019 5:50pm

Thought Carmella was going to pin Truth. Just ask him to lie down and close his eyes, then she gets a ref to quietly count as she places her hand on him.
So the only difference in 24/7 and hardcore titles is less violence? We need to start seeing more 1 on 1 instead of those crowd attacks. Maybe have bigger names try for or get the title down the line but don't keep it for long.

Who was the first "Big E"?

Now the big mystery is Why did Carmella have that bra? Didn't look like hers.

Is Bayley heel now or just being more serious? As for the whole being past the hugging thing, maybe she needs to tell her entrance video and all that.

J. Marston · 22-05-2019 6:19pm

Cathy starting a slow burn storyline...

Apparently neither is Aleister Black.

God I would love to see the absolute scenes if most of the roster boycotted. That 50 man rumble would be hilarious

Not even a Rumble. It's a Battle Royal, so will be hard to tell how many in the ring with that number. And remember the Greatest Royal Rumble had guys we never heard of before or since?

Speaking of Black, when is he gonna appear in a non speaking role?
And after seeing a sign with her name, Where's Liv?

Liv was on the European tour tagging with ruby riott who had shoulder surgery according to WWE.

Well come on they were siting next to each other at the HOF. And there had been constant rumours of them being a couple prior to that. That's the talk about Cathy and old velveteen dream anyway.

Oh God I thought it was a rumble, a Royal is an even bigger clusterfk.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking will never forget Not Yokozuna

Balor now seems to be all over some Mexican (I think) television presenter judging by his Twitter. He’s either stalking her or banging her. Prefer Cathy myself but who knows what happened there.

Cathy is gorgeous and smart as all hell. She’d have the pick of who she wants.

PTH2009 · 29-05-2019 1:02am

Did ziggler forget he was world champion before and not to be a whinning bitch feeling sorry for himself

Agent Coulson · 29-05-2019 3:03am

Well that is proof if we ever needed it that the 24/7 title is a joke if they wanted to put some Prestige in it Roman would have won it at the end tonight.

Rock Lesnar · 29-05-2019 12:51pm

Just when i think it cant get any worse for Elias, he's now at 24/7 title level

And he dropped it before Smackdown was over.

CastorTroy · 29-05-2019 1:10pm

Yeah, so much for titles being important. Just giving it away like that. And why did Truth pin Drake anyway?

Speaking of Drake, is it not a bad idea to make a GM who acts serious right after Smackdown look like an idiot outside 205 Live?

Now to figure out what they're doing to Black. At this point I can only assume heel

J. Marston · 29-05-2019 1:38pm

Kofi annoys me now. He was viciously beaten last week, his friend was injured again in a sneak attack and how does he enter Smackdown? Jumping and smiling and throwing pancakes.

I read that he is 11-0 since he won the belt and he has been having good matches. That is how you book a champion, why does everything else about him have to be so dorky though?

Charlotte confuses me too. One week she can look stunning, then the next week it can look like her face is melting.
