The fuck was that lmao

 

[Y2Jayne]

A.J. Styles wins

 

[Y2Jayne]

Nice to see Edge put someone over for once.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Damn Lashley is bleeding.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Grimes with a quick win



But my boy Corbin jobbing again

 

[Y2Jayne]

I wonder how they will use Grimes on Smackdown. His rich gimmick made sense to NXT fans because they saw the whole storyline between him and Dibiase but I don't see it translating well with casuals. I think they should have gone back to the redneck character.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Can't believe they had Styles beat Lashley clean but I'm glad they did.

 

[Lethal]

with Sami announced for NOC. Doesn't sit right with me at all

 

[Dale]

Why? He's clearly going on his own accord.

 

[Lethal]

um Saudi's regime

 

[Chris]

um Saudi's regime

they're making peace with Syria now apparently, only as of like a week ago tho which is insane timing

 

[Lethal]

they're making peace with Syria now apparently, only as of like a week ago tho which is insane timing

yeah hence the trepidation. I just don't feel right about it at all

 

[Storm Trooper]

they knew they had to make peace because they needed Sami in person. Sami is the reason for the peace.

A segment that was originally scheduled for last night's episode of WWE Friday Night Smackown has been pushed to a later date.

The insider private Twitter account, @BoozerRasslin, is reporting that there were plans for LA Knight to find a tag team partner on SmackDown. However, that segment never aired.

The plan is for Knight to team with Rick Boogs, but this partnership is said to be temporary. How or why they will split up/end the partnership is anyone's guess but WWE history shows that most tag teams split up on bad terms so there's a good chance that Knight or Boogs will turn.

Knight has been getting great babyface reactions at the live events and seems destined for a big singles push. Boozer made a point to note that Boogs was the plan to be Knight's partner but that could still change.​

 

[Chris]

They were rushed so not surprised if it got cut. That's a weird angle tho, it feels like it'd make more sense if LA Knight turned on him soon after instead of Boogs but I want face Knight to continue. Heel Boogs seems terrible
