SmackDown Live LIVe SmackDown Discussion thread, July 22nd 2022: Maxxine Dupri to debut alongside Maximum Male Model’s beachwear line

[Kiffy Lube]

Main event sucked. Bringin' day Jey with this shit. Glad Lesnar saved the end of the show..

 

[Dale]

All I said was I hope she stays in her gimmick

Bro with Lyons at SD please don't tell me she's Maxxine Dupri

She's wearing a swim suit dress too

 

[Y2Jayne]

They actually went for a thank you Vince chant, I'm surprised.

 

[Y2Jayne]

The singing in Walter's new theme song is a bit corny, I think his previous one was better.

I like the dynamic with Ludwig. He won the match but needed Gunther's help so he still took a chop to the chest. He beat Nakamura with Velveteen Dream's old finisher btw.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Pat shitting on Corbin so much over the last few weeks and overpowering him last night makes me hope he's losing to him at the PPV.

I swear Shanky looks like a lycan in RE Village.

The "Brawling Brutes"? Really?

Rodriguez went from a badass asskicker with a heavy theme to a generic smiling babyface with some random latino music ffs

 

[Y2Jayne]

Theory messed up for the finish of the main event, Moss had to go for the spot twice.

Brock Lesnar's segment screams "last minute", but at least he's back. That whole tantrum for nothing smh

[John McHenry]

So watching now.

Steph out dull

Street profits oh no this is the main event ugh. Theory with usos doesn't make sense, they walk out on him.

Ludwig has a last name? Face turn.

Well that was quicker than expected

So over Rousey there's less charisma then he who can't be named.

The fox free preview let's me skip some commercials not others. Damn hulu and their inconsistent times. I only get a free hour let's go.

We need Liv to move on from the this is mine because... Passion

Corbin could probably be better.

Damn it another commercial free preview is going to be 15 minutes of wrestling, 20 promos and 25 commercials countdown timer is nice though

Bum ass Corbin, that's the best they could do?

Jinder and raiders... Skip

This Sonya Adam angle is taking too long.

Raquel is overhyped

This butch thing needs to go somewhere too.

Is Sheamus getting an axe? I hope so just let these two put on armor and go at it... Not really but I agree the sword is dumb.

Drew needs to go back to main eventing

I'm smoking pulled pork and it's about to rain great...

My stream froze but not the countdown timer...

Shalelys aren't axes. Disappointed.

Sheamus said balls was expecting miz to run in.

The sword have mystical fire powers now?

Uso promo. Is Heyman going to draw how to run away on the whiteboard?

Paul's makeup is weird.

Wish they'd stop this unified bs

Raquel and Sonya. Skip. 10 minutes left.

And the power goes out...

It's back 6 minutes

Lacey walking out again. So no dq match soon? VS who?

Jeff Jarrett the ref nobody expected. For no reason. I got to the main event. 5 minutes guess I'm skipping to
the finish?

And 2 minutes for commercials.

Powers out missed the finish

Not as omg as anyone expected

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Well that was positive

I meant that everyone assumed the announcement to be more than that. I think titus got more air time

With the show airing just hours after Vince McMahon announced his retirement, Friday night's WWE SmackDown averaged 2.17 million viewers in the fast national ratings, up 9.8 percent from the previous week's overnight viewership number.

It's the highest fast national viewership for SmackDown since June 17, which was the day Vince McMahon appeared on television following the announcement that he was stepping away from his WWE chairman and CEO roles while the Board of Directors investigated his alleged misconduct.

Last night's SmackDown drew a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demo in the fast nationals. That topped all of network TV and was double the next highest rated program.

SmackDown's final viewership is usually 5-10 percent higher than the fast nationals. The fast national demo rating is rounded to the nearest tenth, so 0.6 could be anything between 0.56 and 0.64. The final 18-49 rating is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of fast national viewership and 18-49 demo numbers for SmackDown on Fox, as well as the final numbers for the previous 10 weeks.

The show featured a brief appearance by new WWE chairwoman Stephanie McMahon.
