WWE: Smackdown LIVE!

[Paris in Flames]

That's Tyler Breeze in character though. The man behind Tyler Breeze has to be dying inside.

Some people dont really care about being huge stars. Some people even like being jobbers.

Not saying that's the case for him, but it could be. He's probably still having loads of fun on the main roster.

 

[GKJ]

It took Breeze forever just to get here and almost got released likely more than once. I'm sure he'd like things to be going better, but they could be worse.

Would any of us be shocked to hear that Breeze is in the wave of anticipated releases? I certainly wouldn't and I kinda expect it.

At least in NXT he would have more security.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Sucks that they're probably gonna release Sandow. The guys gotten over with basically everything they gave him. Intellectual Savior of the Masses (then buried by Cena), Rhodes Scholars, Charlie Haas 2.0, Stunt Double, etc.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Sandow will make a killing on the indy's he needs to leave WWE

 

[S A W F T*]

Hawks vs. Blues in a potential playoff preview where home ice is still to be decided... or SMACKDOWN?

Hawks vs. Blues in a potential playoff preview where home ice is still to be decided... or SMACKDOWN?

Is that a serious question?

 

[S A W F T*]

Is that a serious question?

Absolutely not... can't miss the debut of the Vaudevillains.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Yeah I will not be watching Smackdown tonight.

Blues/Hawks takes precedent every time.

 

[Frankie Spankie]

I know Breeze had more air time on NXT than on the main roster but it's not like he was winning a ton of matches in NXT either... If I were to guess, they probably have a lot more fun backstage in the main roster than in NXT solely because everyone's supposed to be there for Raw and Smackdown tapings. If you don't have a match, they probably just hang out in the back. Whereas on NXT, you do your tapings and then go do your own thing so you don't get to socialize as much with the other wrestlers. This is all just assumptions though, I obviously have no clue what goes on backstage.

 

[Serac]

Having fun matches and actually being able to showcase yourself seems a lot more fun (nxt) than the squash matches he gets put through on the main roster

But he likely gets more money on the main roster, so there are the pros and cons

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I wanted Breeze to be the one to take the belt off of Balor.

He is a major player on UUDD and seems to be loving it.

There's certainly pros and cons to each.

 

[Kimi]

So yeah, as expected the stuff at the end with Reigns and co was a dark segment.

 

[Serac]

Finally got around to watching this week's Smackdown
Jericho and Owens as a team is great with how much they trash talk their opponents

 

[M.C.G. 31]

* SmackDown opens with WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz and Maryse out for MizTV. The got really good heat to start. Zack Ryder interrupts and The Miz teased that he would give Ryder a title shot but Ryder's already booked in a match with Baron Corbin

* Baron Corbin got the easy win over Zack Ryder. After the match, Corbin beat Ryder down again but Dolph Ziggler made the save and they brawled

* Emma defeated Paige in a quick match. Paige took a nasty spill in the corner but looked to be fine

* Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady defeated The Ascension to advance in the tag team tournament. Enzo and Cass were over big time and looked awesome in the ring

* Backstage segment with Alberto Del Rio interrupting AJ Styles

* AJ Styles defeated Alberto Del Rio. Good match with a very hot crowd but Del Rio botched a move and Styles landed on his neck. He won with a roll-up and was holding his neck on the way to the back, hopefully just selling but it looked bad live

* Backstage comedy segment with Fandango and The Golden Truth

* The Vaudevillains defeated Goldust and R-Truth in a quick match to advance in the tag team tournament

* Sami Zayn vs. Chris Jericho was a hot main event with Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens on commentary, and providing distractions. Good action in the ring and entertaining stuff outside. Owens interfered to cause the disqualification, which led to the babyfaces standing tall to end SmackDown

***

Hopefully, Styles isn't injured and Jericho/Zayn and ADR/Styles in one show? God damn...

 

[Kimi]

This was a half roster show, as the other half left right after Raw for the first leg of the European tour.

 

[Emperoreddy]

AJ is apparently ok.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Why is Emma squashing Paige?

 

[Kimi]

Why is Emma squashing Paige?

Paige is doing nothing, and Emma need building before she faces Becky.

 

[GKJ]

Anderson and Gallows apparently attacked the dark match? What? Did I hear that right?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Yes.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I wonder if the Vaudevillians will get their first RAW match since they moved on.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Paige is doing nothing, and Emma need building before she faces Becky.

Doesn't need to be a squash though. WWE is all about letting the women go...Paige/Emma is one of the better Women's matches I've seen. Could've at least let them go and build them both up.
