SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, April 26th 2024: Night one of the WWE Draft

[Dale]

-------------

Interesting that they've locked the champions but not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.​

 

[Dale]

I'm guessing they're gonna do the supplemental drafts after NXT the following Tuesday since there's gonna several days left of the draft being open looking at this,

 

[Chris]

I'm cool with champions being locked even tho them being draftable is fine now since they don't have brand specific names lol

Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles sign contract for Undisputed WWE Title Match at Backlash France​

At WrestleMania, Cody Rhodes overcame all odds and finished his story by conquering Roman Reigns in a Bloodline Rules Match to claim the Undisputed WWE Championship.

After battling through a Triple Threat Match against Kevin Owens and Rey Mysterio and overcoming LA Knight in an explosive WrestleMania rematch, AJ Styles has earned the right to challenge The American Nightmare at WWE Backlash France.

This Friday, Rhodes and Styles will make their showdown official in an Undisputed WWE Title contract signing​

Find out what is next for Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga following Kevin Owens onslaught​

Two weeks ago, Solo Sikoa launched a shocking attack on his brother Jimmy Uso with the help of Tama Tonga and claimed it was all done by order of The Tribal Chief. The following week, Tonga smashed into Kevin Owens’ car before Solo and his “MFT” unleashed a bloody assault on KO. What is next in the destructive duo’s uncontrollable reign of terror? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on SmackDown on FOX.

Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee take on Angel & Berto​

Since the mysterious attack on Dragon Lee that denied him an opportunity to team with Rey Mysterio against Santos Escobar & “Dirty” Dom Mysterio at WrestleMania, Legado del Fantasma has categorically denied involvement in the incident. As speculation continues to run rampant, Lee returns to action tonight to join forces with The Master of the 619 against Angel & Berto. Don’t miss all the action of SmackDown, tonight at 8/7 C on FOX.​

They really gotta wrap this LWO / Legado stuff over these next few days, get them on different brands now. Shit seems to have gone on for a lifetime.

Isn’t it wild that they finally removed the show names from the belts and that’s when they finally realized they could lock the champions lol

I do think champions should be locked either way though. It makes more sense.

The only problem I see is the PPV is next week.

For example if AJ is drafted to Raw but he beats Cody Rhodes then what happens? Does Cody go to Raw instead of Styles?

- Will Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles end up having a peaceful contract signing in their segment tonight?
- Will Naomi still get another world title opportunity after being robbed last week, or will Tiffany Stratton end up challenging Bayley instead?
- Will a big, prominent name like Seth Rollins or Liv Morgan end up getting drafted to the blue brand?
- Will the Raw brand end up getting any of the Bloodline, Randy Orton, or Bianca Belair tonight?
- Is the pair of Grayson Waller/Austin Theory feeling threatened by Street Profits being the contenders to their WWE Tag titles?

Find out on the next edition of Smackdown Live. Stay tuned
