SmackDown Live WWE SmackDown thread, Jun 19, 2020: Firefly Funhouse returns, Mandy Rose on MizTV & more

What's crazier is Riddle never got an NXT title run

 

[Chris]

If his SmackDown run isn't great, I'm gonna be salty about that for awhile

 

[Vegeta]

I’m hoping Riddle can win me over.

 

[Chris]

In-ring I have no doubt he will

 

[Chris]

I'm worried about his promos bc while he's not bad on the mic he can be corny as fuck and if someone else is scripting even cornier stuff

 

[Chris]

But he had a few promos on NXT where he was serious that showed me he can cut a promo when he wants to

 

[Jimmy King]

I liked AJ saying “no shoes, no shirt, no championship match” or something like that

 

[Chris]

That was great

 

[Chris]

I still pop for Riddle's flip flop spot in his entrance every time tbh

 

[Chris]

It's like legit one of my favorite things in wrestling rn can't even explain why it just pops me

 

[Vegeta]

His “Bro who runs the show” line was pretty good.

Like, we’ll see. Maybe if I see more in ring stuff I’ll be won over enough to overlook his mic work

 

[Chris]

I have so many dream matches for him in-ring tbh, he's so ridiculously natural at it

 

[Chris]

It's crazy that he hasn't even been wrestling that long and even had that match with AJ tonight tbh. I mean Ronda did pick it up quicker than him if you compare UFC people but she was also just a special case

 

[Jimmy King]

Riddle had been on the indies for awhile before joining WWE but yeah he is a natural at it, he just kind of comes off as arrogant

 

[Chris]

Only since what 2015-2016? Really not that long compared to most
