[Marty McFourth]

Brock

Becky/Sasha

Balor/Zayn

 

[Chris]

Two and a half hours

 

[Dale]

And the bottom two womens matches will still get less than 5 minutes between them

 

[Chris]

I'm very skeptical on Naomi/Sonya even even a real match this week lol

 

[Vegeta]

Hopefully whatever the main event is I don’t care about, cause Fuck 2 and half hours lol

 

[Sky]

Prediction: no women's match will go over 10 minutes, Sonya will beat Naomi, and Becky/Sasha will have a fuck finish with Bianca interfering like a heel for no reason.

 

[Dale]

Hopefully whatever the main event is I don’t care about, cause Fuck 2 and half hours lol

I'd assume it's gonna be a combo of Brock and Becky/Sasha.

 

[Dale]

It was announced during last night’s Iowa vs. Penn State college football game that next week’s “Supersized” edition of WWE SmackDown will be running their added half hour commercial free as it overlaps against AEW Rampage for the first time ever.

While it is not confirmed many assume that SmackDown women’s champion Becky Lynch will be taking on Sasha Banks in that time-slot to assure that WWE doesn’t fall to AEW, especially since SmackDown will be broadcast on FS1 rather than FOX due to the MLB playoffs.

This adds yet another interesting layer into this story, as AEW President Tony Khan has been hyping up Rampage all week, and even tweeted that he looks forward to defeating WWE in that 30-minute interval.

 

[Mox Girl]

I wonder how our cable network will deal with the commercial free half hour I'll be extremely fucking surprised if they do it also, cos the few other times WWE has done commercial free, they actually shoved ads into the ad free broadcast and made us miss parts, I shit you not. They have the show listed as 2 and a half hours on the TV guide, so maybe they will for a change. Doubt anybody really wants to advertise on a Saturday afternoon anyway

Who here is actually watching the whole show and won't be switching to Rampage? I'll be here for the whole thing cos I only watch Rampage when Mox is on it, lol.

 

[Chris]

I'll be watching the first hour max lol the rest probably tomorrow morning but maybe tonight after Rampage if I'm feeling frisky

 

[Deezy]

Usos/Street Profits for the tag titles added.

 

[Vegeta]

I mean, I might watch the first hour. Maybe. But surely not all of it. I’m a simp for TK and AEW

 

[Dale]

Deffo watching tonight. Sami/Finn is gonna bang and there'll be plenty of Roman/Brock interaction I woulda thought and then top it off with Becky/Sasha

 

[Jimmy King]

I’ll be watching this first because I’ll be getting it before the other show due to it being on FS1 I get it earlier than usual.

Looks like a hell of a show.
