So let’s do this again! Hopefully Smackdown Live reloads tonight. I especially want to see The Club reunited with AJ Styles. Stay tuned for my reactions as the night goes on.
8:01pm They start off with a rather obvious development. They can’t have both secondary titles on Raw and pretend the shows are equal. KO to SDL!
8:05pm Baron Corbin picks right up where he left off: secondary title feud.
8:07pm You knew Sami Zayn couldn’t be far behind! Welcome to Smackdown!
8:08pm AJ Styles is still here!
8:11pm Wait what? Chris Jericho can win the US Championship and then go away with Fozzy? Does Kevin Owens go back to Raw if that happens? Let’s hope KO keeps the strap and stays on SDL.
8:14pm Commercial break question: who will Shinsuke Nakamura feud with now that Miz is on Raw?
8:20pm So what is Erick Rowan doing by himself on Smackdown?
8:23pm I like the idea of a faction with members on both brands, and it does cultivate a mystique for Bray Wyatt. But the Wyatt Family is misused more often than not. So we shall see…
8:30pm This is would be a good time for Gallows and Anderson to run in… Wishful thinking, perhaps.
8:40pm I was right about the incoming tag team ambush. The Shining Stars were not who I had in mind, however.
8:41pm Jinder Mahal is coming to Smackdown. Woohoo.
8:58pm Now for the Smackdown Live women’s division! Who’s coming? Charlotte, Sasha, both, neither?
9:02pm Tamina is coming to SDL.
9:03pm The crowd wants Sasha. Shane gives them Charlotte. Is Sasha still on the way?
9:04pm Looks like she isn’t.
9:08pm Sin Cara on Smackdown makes no damn sense. They never found a place for Kalisto. Rusev will be a good get when he returns. Rusev and Lana can be an “it couple” in lieu of Miz and Maryse.
9:09pm Aiden English is going to be this round’s Heath Slater.
9:19pm Uh, Bob Fosse used bowler hats–not top hats.
9:21pm SDLanswers my 8:14 question with Dolph Ziggler.
9:30pm Just in case the WWE is reading this, the triple threat match would be a good time to introduce The Club.
9:33pm The New Day is a good addition. They haven’t had much to do on Rawrecently.
9:37pm AJ Styles just Too Sweet-ed himself. Foreshadowing?
9:59pm No Gallows and Anderson. Ah, well.
10:01pm Smackdown Live is a decent wrestling show–it wasn’t 24 hours ago. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Rusev/Lana aren’t exactly an equal trade for Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt and Miz/Maryse. But the newcomers can tell good stories. It will still be a good show, but I care less for this set of characters/wrestlers. If they aren’t going to put The Club back together with AJ Styles, then they ought to do it on Raw with Finn Balor.
I’ve seen hear a lot of people saying damn where are all the surprise entries and why is it all nxt, honestly I’m proud of wwe for not going with the old school method and really showcasing the future of the company, I went in not really caring about Lacey Evans, but she impressed me and I can’t wait to see more
Charlotte Flair was seen wearing theChristian Siriano Colour Block Halterneck Dressat the 2019 WWE Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony on April 6th, 2019. Her dress is no longer available.
Charlotte Flair proved tonight why she is one of the greatest of all time. Not only she and Rhea had an amazing match but she made Rhea look good and she just did SO FUCKING WELL. Also, she played with the audience, she made them feel involved in the match, the in ring psychology… Good job, queen.
