SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, April 19th 2024: A title match + 2 title opportunities

[Jimmy King]

Love the look of the new tag titles. Easily the best looking titles in WWE.

Another good show, Styles and Knight was really good. I loved The Bloodline stuff with a bloodied up KO, and the main event was solid and I love Tiffy being back in the mix. I can see it being a triple threat at Backlash where Bayley retains, and then Tiffy earns a one on one match for a later PPV after she beats Naomi and Tiffy wins the title then.

So they hired a Polynesian and had him pretend to be Mexican

They're all the same peoples to Vince I guess.

Someone said Dakota looked like a smaller Nia Jax last night and now I can't unsee it

 

[Lethal]

Dakota is gorgeous

 

[Sabretooth]

Uh I think that’s a stretch lol. She has maybe a passing resemblance to Nia but not enough that it’s noticeable

 

[Cwalker]

Tama will have fine matches in WWE lol what he wasn't good at was being pushed as an NJPW main eventer wrestling 25 minute singles matches.

His brother is the one that sucks

What is this?

 

[Chris]

What is this?

he does it every match. The announcers are just like "and we've seen this signature offense before"

I thought Moxley and Shane McMahon threw the worst strikes in the business but nah Tanga takes the award

It’s so bad it looks like he’s joking.

 

[Gentleman Jake]

They look like Orange Cassidy strikes without the gimmick
