WWE SmackDown Discussion II

Even Becky's screen time has been drastically cut back last I watched and she isn't featured more than the majority of the top men anymore, unlike before Wrestlemania. Now she feels like any other women's champion they've had during the last 2 years instead of a top star in the entire company.

At least Bayley's getting more screen time.

Nothing excites me less than Dolph being in a main event feud

Ziggler whinging whilst in a main event feud (and a few months later resigning with the company)?

Corbin in a main event feud?

Also smackdown basically is raw recap again.

Please WWE, please run this raw recap nonsense type show once you go to Fox, see exactly what happens (they won't even be demoted to FS1, they'll be axed). End this nonsense wildcard, just cause raw is rubbish, doesn't mean people should be subjected to that on smackdown as well.

It's literally like they are begging us not to watch this crap. I have zero interest in either main title feud, unless of course they do the smart thing and Rollins squashes Corbin in embarrassing fashion.

Kofi-Dolph "It should've been me" = Orton-Christian "One more match"

At least the latter was entertaining.

Nakamura challenging Balor for the IC Title = Nakamura challenging Balor for the NXT Title without Balor's lengthy acceptance speech

Hopefully this means Dolph is gone again, what a waste of time

tugs · Post #1269 » by **tugs** » Wed Jun 26, 2019 3:05 am

I mean I wouldn't mind if he got his shot if not for the fact we knew "It should've been Kevin".

SmackDown on Tuesday has Bischoff advertised to appear

iMoreland · Post #1271 » by **iMoreland** » Wed Jul 3, 2019 3:52 am

Heavy Machinery main eventing SmackDown? Ok

Spens1 · Post #1272 » by **Spens1** » Wed Jul 3, 2019 8:18 am

This sounds like a Bischoff booked show alright :lol:

Look, if nothing else, it should be a fun ride.

Scott Hall · Post #1273 » by **Scott Hall** » Thu Jul 4, 2019 10:22 pm

What a disaster they completely mailed it in which I guess they'll do until Bischoff officially takes over on the
Smackdown after Extreme Rules.

I've reached my max with the New Day and let me first off say when this gimmick first started I was one of the few
people that actually liked it in a "it's so bad it's good" kind of way when people were chanting "New Day Sucks"

But what's it been now 5 or 6 years of this? They are just so completely corny and cringe. If you were to show a friend
who isn't into wrestling something to get them into it would you show them the New Day? They gotta evolve and nuke
this gimmick and completely change their looks.

The top 3 stale acts in the company that need complete makeovers are Roman Reigns, The Miz and New Day. They've
reached the max with what they can get out of them at this point. If Hulk freaking Hogan can reinvent himself when
he started to get stale so can these guys. New looks, new theme songs and new characters.

Daniel Bryan is arguably the biggest star in the company and needs to be a focal point of the show not just treated
like another guy. This tag-team with Rowan isn't doing anything for me. Speaking of stars I know people get sick of
Charlotte dominating a shallow Womens Division but shes one of the top 5 biggest stars in the company and her
absence is felt.

Wow an Apollo Crews sighting... I completely forgot about this guy. They need to move him to RAW I bet Heyman
could actually get him over. If Heyman can get Al Snow and Aldo Montaya over he can get anyone over.

As for Shelton Benjamin like Mike and Maria I just hope this leads to something and not go absolutely nowhere like
the Mojo Rawley skits.

Are they turning Kevin Owens face again? I hope so... SummerSlam is in Canada and they should have him go over
Kofi for a monster pop and boom a new star is created. Although it looks like its leading to a mid card match with
Dolph who looks likes hes aged quite a bit lately.

One thing I'm looking forward to with Bischoff is he sticks with storylines all the way through and makes sure there
is a payoff whether it was the nWo or Aces & 8's he won't waste your time like Vince and nuke something after a
week or 2.

As for Aliestar Blacks mystery opponent I wouldn't mind seeing Orton be the guy would make
Black feel important.

iMoreland · Post #1274 » by **iMoreland** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 5:25 am

Kevin Owens is gonna be a babyface for SummerSlam in Canada. He's gonna be the most over guy on the show.

Spens1 · Post #1275 » by **Spens1** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 10:04 am

Kevin Owens vs Samoa Joe feud please.

tugs · Post #1276 » by **tugs** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 1:21 pm

Worried about the Cesaro-Black match. Cesaro has been on a roll lately but I want that to continue not at the expense of Aleister.

Scott Hall · Post #1277 » by **Scott Hall** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 3:07 pm

Kevin Owens promo was great I hadn't realized how much Shane McMahon has been on TV lately until he mentioned it.
With the wild card rule Shane has been on TV way to much during the week both on RAW and Smackdown. I think after
KO mentioned that Shane was in another 3 or 4 segments after that. They really need to end the wild card rule and
Shane needs 1 segment a week on Smackdown or RAW a week and thats it. Actually he could use a hiatus like Steph
right now. Also it doesn't appear Elias is benefiting with his allegiance to Shane at all and doesn't feel that more important.

I still can't believe they built Owens up as a face then were like oh crap we need a main event heel to go against Kofi
and of all people they get KO to do the turn and put him over and now are like ok we're done turn him back and build
him up as a face again lol

I just hope this doesn't lead to a KO vs. Shane feud again we just saw this a couple of years ago when they had that
big Hell in a Cell match where Sami Zayn saved KO and turned heel. I like the KO vs. Samoa Joe feud idea that
was mentioned or something fresh.

Thats probably a match I would least worry about. I think these two are gonna have, in the words of J.R., a good old fashioned slobber knocker. I expect cesaro to lose, while still looking like a million bucks and it really won't hurt him.

Did anyone else notice the weird timing on Ali's promo Tuesday? They say Aleisters opponent revealed next. Then they play a promo of Ali saying he fights evil and evil wins if you don't step up to the challenge. Then blacks opponent is revealed to be Cesaro. Not really seeing the logic in what they were trying to do there. But I'm guessing Ali will be Wyatt's 1st feud maybe?

Per WWE.com, Daniel Bryan will be making a "career altering" announcement on SmackDown. Anything Daniel Bryan does is destined to be great so I'm definitely interested in this.

No idea how true it is, but his contract status has been floated around lately. I wonder if he'll put his "career" on the line at Summerslam.
