SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, December 22nd 2023: US Title Tournament continues

[Butters]

Damn.....next you gonna tell me Santa isn't real or Butters is some dork and not the cartoon character

None of those are true. Im with santa right now.

 

[King Kota]

Kross & AOP

 

[Y2Jayne]

This is so random but I'm all for it.

 

[Chris]

I don't think the optics are gonna play well with the IWC bc it's like two failed acts together (AOPs failure being off screen) but I think it's got legs too. I just hope it isn't too corny

If they can stay healthy I think they’ll be over

With Kross though the corny aspect is always an issue

 

[Chris]

I think it's the best thing for Kross rn, I do worry the AOP return could be doomed from the start bc of it

 

[Dale]

I feel like it's a super weird combo tbh. I like both of them but on paper they just don't feel right. Is Scarlett gonna fit in with them or are they just gonna totally bin her and use Ellering?

 

[Chris]

The ellering news I was more skeptical on anyway bc I thought his whole thing years ago was he didn't wanna travel a lot so he left when they went to main roster?

 

[Dale]

That's what was rumoured but there was also the rumour Vince didn't want him with them because of his age I think

 

[Jimmy King]

Great show.

That eight women tag match was a lot of fun and set up a new challenger for Iyo in Michin, which is nice.

Great matches with Lee vs Butch, KO vs Melo, Lashley vs Escobar, and Styles vs Solo as well.

Loved the stuff with Roman and Nick Aldis too.

 

[Cwalker]

Nick Aldis sat down with Roman Reigns and basically told him “I run this show”

Adam Pearce could never

 

[Jimmy King]

I also thought the Kross vignette was interesting, probably the most interested I’ve been in him so far. I’ll reserve full judgment until I see it play out more.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Nick Aldis sat down with Roman Reigns and basically told him “I run this show”

Adam Pearce could never

Yeah he ain’t no mother fucking bitch

 

[Dale]

He's been a great hire so far

 

[Cwalker]

Yeah. While I’d love to see him in the ring, he’s killing it in his current role
