WWE SmackDown on Syfy Discussion

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

I think the only way to elevate the IC Title is to actually make it look important. Give it big storylines, give somebody a long reign where they win the majority of their matches and put on great matches. Even make it the Main Event on Raw or even PPV's.

They should do that. All of the belts should be important though. These athletes are putting their lives on the line for them.

I did!

I'm fine with the Prime Time Players becoming the number one contenders to the WWE Tag Team Championships. I think it is a minor feud The New Day can win before moving on to feuding with the Lucha Dragons.

I like that Ryback beat Stardust. Nice to see that even though the mid card champion is not John Cena, he is still winning non-title matches.

Strong work from Kevin Owens in the NXT Championship Open Challenge.

Kofi Kingston vs Neville was a solid match. I'm not sure how I feel about Neville winning though. I'm thinking that Kingston should get some wins before wrestling Brock Lesnar in Tokyo.

Miz's attire for Miz TV was grand. I love it.

I'm fine with Kane being in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. I assume he is in there to play the role of "catcher." Good role for him to play. Plus he has the connection with Roman Reigns so there we go.

WWE SmackDown Preview: June 18, 2015

How will Rollins respond to the return of The Beast Incarnate?

Just 24 hours after a grueling Ladder Match against Dean Ambrose at WWE Money in the Bank, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins was shaken on Raw after learning he will defend his title against Brock Lesnar at WWE Battleground. The formerly suspended Beast Incarnate has been at home and patiently waiting to make his return to WWE.

Is Lesnar The Authority's new chosen one?

When you consider that Rollins has been operating on an island as of late — far from the protection of The Authority — how will The Architect prepare for his trip to Suplex City on July 19? Does he have what it takes to overcome The Anomaly? Find out how he will respond when “The Future of WWE” addresses the WWE Universe on SmackDown, tonight at 8/7 C on Syfy.

Mind games get personal?

Bray Wyatt made his unforeseen return Sunday at WWE Money in the Bank on WWE Network, when he cost Roman Reigns the Money in the Bank contract. If that wasn’t enough to draw the fury of The Big Dog, The Eater of Worlds opted to make his mind games against Reigns personal on Raw when he showed a picture of Reigns spending time with his daughter.

A driven Reigns is dangerous enough. What will he do now that The New Face of Fear has crossed the line? Will he seek out payback against Wyatt tonight on SmackDown? Could his ominous adversary take things even further, en route to their WWE Battleground showdown?

What consequences will Kevin Owens face?

Kevin Owens. A name that just a short time ago was known only to NXT and the independent faithful is now infamous throughout the entire WWE Universe. To say that the self-professed prizefighter has made an impact in a short time may be taken as disrespect (if you ask him). After shocking the world by defeating John Cena at WWE Elimination Chamber and injuring Cena at Money in the Bank, the NXT Champion powerbombed hip-hop artist Machine Gun Kelly off the Raw stage. While Owens was forced to apologize for the latter publically and the matter has been dealt with internally, Owens clearly remains out-of-control. Will his aggression continue tonight on SmackDown? Or will it finally be met with sufficient opposition?

Can Paige Beat The Bellas?

It seems that The Divas Champion Nikki Bella and her sister Brie have Paige’s number. After two Divas Championship Matches, as well as a Handicap Match on Raw, The Diva of Tomorrow can’t procure a win or any allies in her war with the twins of trickery.

The Divas Champion reminded the locker room Monday that The Authority protects her and no one seems ready to step in her way. This begs the question: Will Paige find anyone willing to join her fight as she goes one-on-one against Brie?

A serpentine trip to the Bank?

Sheamus is only the second Superstar in history to be crowned King of the Ring, win the Royal Rumble Match and (most recently) become Mr. Money in the Bank, but he is certainly not the first to have a problem with Randy Orton.
In the past few weeks, things have gotten intense between the two Superstars. Monday on Raw, both cost each other their respective matches. What’s next in the battle between The Celtic Warrior and The Viper? And when will The Celtic Warrior look to cash in his Money in the Bank contract?

Who's watching SmackDown tonight?

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

Look, fellas, it's the vanilla mohawk Mr. MITB Sheamus. You still look pretty damn stupid.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

I don't think Dean Ambrose has any issue walking into that ring and taking the MITB. Sheamus. You're the one w/o stones.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

The bond between Ambrose and Reigns is still as strong as ever. Suck it Kane.

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

When will Paige learn there is no messing with the Bella Twins in the current WWE system.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

It's that time of year when all the Total Divas girls band together or feud. Rinse and repeat WWE.

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

The King of Swing has no problem putting his hands on Owens. This is going to be a battle on SmackDown.

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

It's the blond bombshells Lana and Ziggler. Bo Dallas can't handle this much awesomeness and sex appeal.

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

Thanks WWE for not even giving me two days to catch your Tough Enough special before your spoil the 13 finalists on SmackDown.

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

There's no way Rollins is going to let Lesnar take him to Suplex City. He is the future of WWE.

Re: The Brand Spanking New SmackDown Live Discussion Thread~!

I want to see a rematch of WrestleMania 31 at SummerSlam Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Let's make it happen.
