SmackDown Live WWE SmackDown thread, May 29, 2020: IC Title Tournament reaches Semi-Finals

[Dale]

Jeff Hardy looks to keep comeback rolling against Daniel Bryan
In the first round of the Intercontinental Championship Tournament, Jeff Hardy proved his unending perseverance, and Daniel Bryan exhibited his incredible technical prowess. Now the two former Intercontinental Champions will put their skills to the test with a finals opportunity on the line.

The Charismatic Enigma shocked The Celtic Warrior when he pulled out a victory, despite a confident Sheamus controlling long stretches of the match. Bryan was tested by his training partner, but the veteran Superstar outlasted Drew Gulak in a display of grappling ability.

Will Hardy keep his comeback moving forward? Or will Bryan’s in-ring polish be too much to overcome?


Elias and AJ Styles set to battle for tournament finals appearance
AJ Styles is officially back on the blue brand. Is a reign as Intercontinental Champion ahead of him? Elias is hoping to sing a different tune when he meets The Phenomenal One in the semifinals of the Intercontinental Championship Tournament.

After being traded to SmackDown for future considerations, Styles announced his presence with a thrilling win over Shinsuke Nakamura. Elias got the opportunity for payback when he knocked King Corbin out the bracket with a hard-fought victory in the opening round.

Can Elias claim another win, or is the tournament destined for a “Too Sweet” outcome?​

If we don't get AJ/Bryan

 

[Lady Redfield]

Honestly, I’m a fan of AJ, but, I’m hoping Elias wins so they can do something with him

I mean yeah i guess he can lose to Bryan too but I'd prefer it to be AJ

 

[Lady Redfield]

I want him to be a serious top guy, and not for 5 seconds

 

[Mox Girl]

My Smackdown thread making streak is broken I literally came to make it to see it was already done for me lol.

 

[Mox Girl]

btw i agree with cat, i actually hope elias wins, cos i like him and i wish they'd do more with him. aj winning that match is soooo predictable.

 

[Dale]

I'll take predictable over the alternate option that ends in it sucking.

- Does Braun Strowman feel threatened now knowing that he'll be defending his Universal title against The Miz and John Morrison in a Handicap match?
- Will Daniel Bryan or Jeff Hardy end up advancing into the finals of the tournament for the Intercontinental championship?
- Will AJ Styles defeat Elias tonight in order to advance further in the IC championship tournament?
- Will Bayley and Sasha Banks continue to be on the same page tonight?
- Will Drew Gulak make his return tonight after re-signing with the company a few days ago?

Queen 3 brands getting a much deserved night off?

Probably more to do with she already used 1....or maybe 2... of her cross brand appearances.
