- AJ came storming in right after the Hype Bros and cut a heated promo on Bryan. Called Bryan out for being a bad GM and saying the beating Ellsworth took was his fault.

- Barron Corbin reiterated that he doesn't care about the locker room or the fans. He is there to be the best and get paid. He got into it with Bryan about when his opportunity will come. Corbin looked great in this segment and Bryan said he has something planned for him next. I speculate it will be Corbin vs Reigns for the US Title after the Rusev feud is over.


all well and good but the US title is on raw so unless Corbin is traded to raw or they swap champs (only chance of a heel roman) then i doubt it happens. Though Corbin vs Ziggler this time with good booking makes sense.

Also poor Bryan :lol: Styles and Corbin doing him in.


hahaha you are right my bad. He could feud with Ziggler again for the IC Title but that has already been done to death.


true but its smackdown and given how both characters have been these last few months it would be good.

Wouldn't be surprised if Eva comes back and pairs herself with Hawkins. That'll be hilarious.

I think they should put the title on Alexa. If she can learn to put on a decent match, she's the best woman in the company imo.

That combined promo was pretty awful though. It went nowhere.

SmackDown makes way better use of their 2 hours.

The contrast from RAW is crazy. There's half an hour left of SD and I wish there was more. Meanwhile with RAW I'm just waiting for it to end (after skipping through most of it)

she'd be a good heel champion, if they're going to transition the belt off from face to face Alexa should hold it, also she isn't exactly bad in the ring either, like she's decent (nowhere near as bad as dana brooke)

I love that they call Ellsworth's superkick, the "No Chin Music".

see raw, that is how you build a womens feud, i believe that these women hate each other, jesus give them the cell.

Or better yet just have smackdown's creative team doing raw also (unless fatigue, in which case stay on smackdown)

This was probably the weakest Smackdown in a while. The majority of the show was lower mid card. I would have liked to see them capitalize on the Corbin promo from Talking Smack last week but he was left off the show completely. The most interesting character on Smackdown right now is James Ellsworth.

Just caught up on the most recent 2 episodes of Talking Smack. Baron Corbin is a beast on the mic. They need to push that dude as the top heel on Smackdown. Flip AJ and have him feud with Corbin with the stuff that Corbin was saying as the basis for their beef. Easy money.

they don't really need to flip AJ since he gets face reactions. Baron just needs to do his whole indy hating gimmick and go after him. It actually makes a lot of sense for Baron also. It would be a great feud to watch (actually probably better than Ambrose v Styles round 3)

So it looks like Randy Orton is just aligning himself with the Wyatts so that he can cause friction between Wyatt and Harper? That's stupid. It's more or less what DB did.

Bryan joined the Wyatts to get Bray alone in a cage.
