SmackDown Live #SDLIVE thread, Dec. 18, 2018: The era of Asuka begins

[Cwalker]

When did they say auto rematches weren't a thing anymore? That a new regime thing from last night?

Yeah Shane said the idea was antiquated so I think they’re gonna start doing away with it

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Vince actually on SD? I stand corrected.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Isn’t Shane on the show every week?

As often as he can be, but not every week. But if he's gonna be on Raw now, he won't need to be on SD.

LOL I give them 6 months before it's a thing again

 

[Cwalker]

Did not expect to see Vince tonight

Shame, but they've been doing away with them for a while. How many Universal Title rematches have there been?

Kinda hard to have a rematch for that title when the Champ works 4 times a year. Lol

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Is it time for Asuka to get her win back over Charlotte?

They've always been more of a convenience/easy booking thing anyway, they'd come up with excuses to skip them when angles warranted it like nothing so I don't rate this change as anything at all

 

[Ricky Smarks]

So Vince feeding Naomi to Asuka? Fresh start for SD?

 

[Cwalker]

I’m trying to figure out who Asuka faces at Mania.

Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler

I was thinking this too. Would be the best match probably

And fuck, Otunga is on commentary

 

[Deezy]

People bitching about Otunga.....the fuck you want? Byron back?
