SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, February 9th 2024: US Title & Tag Team Titles challengers to be determined

[Cwalker]

Man I wish Hunter could still go in the ring.

Could definitely found a way to spin this to one last Rock/Triple H match too.

Alas…

 

[Kross Rhodes]

So the rest are going to remain as damage control I assume? Because I hope so.

Yeah fucking sucks. Because I can guarantee you now that they’ve put Cody back in the Roman match they would have 1000% had magic in Triple H and rock because they’ve been talking about doing that since I wanna say 2011.

Them staying as Damage CTRL would be pretty shit really considering it was a Bayley creation. Use something new.

Leaders get ousted from their factions all the time. I assume it won’t long to last too much longer. Bayley will probably destroy it over the next couple months.

It would be the perfect disrespect to Bayley tbh

I mean Judgment Day was still Judgment Day after Edge got kicked out

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Shit even one of the most famous factions of all time DX Hunter came out the night after Shawn lost about to Austin basically said he couldn’t cut the mustard anymore. He said he was taking over the group and then he added the New Age outlaws and Xpac.

At least here Bayely will fight to destroy the group.

Good point. A super recent example and honestly they’re thriving even more after edge was tossed.

Only one I can see leaving MAYBE being Dakota, pending how much of the whole Sasha was originally supposed to be Bayley’s back up story being true, and now they have to change course. Cause Dakota wasn’t there when this happened, so it’s definitely a possibility. But also very likely she just stays with the group.

 

[Bad News Booty]

Let’s be easy on Dale he still thought Rosie was gonna show up as part of the bloodline story as recently as yesterday

 

[Dale]

I just think they could come up with something better and most likely Japanese influenced. (Yes I know Kota is still there)

I mean she’s shown that she speaks Japanese she knows everything they said about Bayley behind her back. Kinda hard to fix that

 

[Cwalker]

Unless they’re gonna rebrand themselves to something like the Kabuki Nation or whatever, they might as well just stay damage control

As Chris pointed out when I bought this up, they can spin it to where the times she was around they didn’t actually say anything mean, and only did when Dakota wasn’t.
