Multi-man tag matches...yay.

I think smackdown have completely let me down on matches over the last few weeks, there was a great tag team match about 3 weeks ago in the main event. Everytime i see Owens, he just looks tired and not on his A-game. Not sure what the issue is at the moment, they should be killing it.

The majority of superstars being pissed at the shit booking probably has something to do with it.

Watched WWE (have read results) for first time in a couple of months this week with Smackdown and thought it was an okay episode, not great but not shit.

Next week's should be decent with four matches already announced, wonder if Carmella is going to win the brief case again?

Hope the Owens open challenge becomes a regular thing ala Cena's, as that produced some great matches.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, James Ellsworth is the best thing in WWE right now.

I've started to like Carmella, for fuck's sake.

I think the ending was the best outcome that didn't bury carmella.

The james ellsworth stuff has definitely ran its course now

Think they may be gearing up for Lynch vs Elsworth at Summer Slam, with Lynch going over of course.

I know WWE haven't done inter gender for many years, but if it does get billed it will be very one sided, but the crowd would love it. All about building the heat now, it's been obvious it's the direction they 're heading in.

Glad Rusev has returned but a feud with Cena being the anti-usa Character again, fuck off.

Everyone was wondering why Rusev's return was so delayed...it turns out WWE realised that an episode of Smackdown Live fell on the fourth of July and Cena was ready to go again.

Damn it.

Absolute travesty that Ellsworth is suspended. Daniel Bryan is obviously jealous that he is nowhere near as talented or as much of a man as Ellsworth.
But that battle rap though. It was a good one.
I can't wait for #lolcenawins to make its return at the PPV either.

Good Smackdown this week, think most of us assumed Cena would win, fingers crossed Mahal's reign comes to an end at Summerslam to Naka!

Painful looking bump for Cena there. Thought they might try and do a triple threat (US v India v Japan) but probably a bit much with the Raw title being 4 way.

Anyone else dislike Nakamura's finisher? It's so ugly and rarely connects properly. Bryan's running knee was better.

The one he did to the back of Corbins head looked brutal, got me thinking maybe it should be a rear facing finisher instead.

I'm sure many of you mainly Oaf will be happy to know that Corbin lost his MITB contract match v Jinder this week. Once Cena is done with him at Summerslam it'll probably be the end of him for a while at least.

Again i attended this show last night, don't know how it came across on TV but it was rubbish. There couldn't of been more than 5,000 fans there, i paid for a £25 restricted view ticket but ended up getting upgraded due to low ticket sales and getting a £65 seat. Shane McMahon literally stumbled like mad in his opening segment but everything was so slow and laborious, the battle of the sexes was just terrible. Even AJ Styles struggled to carry Jinder to a good match, but holy shit, seeing the WWE Championship change hands and in England was one of the most shocking things ever. I doubt WWE would of kept it in, but the fans were all chanting "you're on steroids" to Jinder which was amusing.

What followed that was 205 Live, that show should just be cancelled now. 20 minutes of Enzo talking, and a further 10 minutes of watching him fail to wrestle.

The biggest pops of the night (other than styles winning the title) was Breezango in a dark match before the show, and Nakamura/Roode after the show.

I could tell they'd edited Shane's promo. :lol:

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have been sent home from the European tour - reasons unknown at the minute.

The report described the move as discipline for Owens and Zayn reportedly “going into business for themselves” on last night’s Smackdown Live that required editing.

hmmm interesting.

Sami has had a hell of a push for a while beating AJ this week. I wonder if they will have him winning the title?

Not a bad Smackdown last night, good choice in Paige as general manager.

Not sure about the whole Carmella as champion idea, don't think she will hold the belt for long but we shall see.

I really hope not but I fear Bryan will be off to Raw on the shake up now hence why they did AJ/Bryan last night unannounced, can't see them swapping AJ for Brock.

Orton/Mahal fued again though, is that a piss take.

Yeh I know what you mean. Hope DB stays on Smackdown. Him, AJ, Naka, maybe move Finn over, would tear it up.

I'd prefer Seth over Finn but tad more complicated now he has IC title unless Mahal went to Raw but Finn would be a great addition to smackdown in fairness.

Think Asuka & Charlotte will swap.

I'd quite like to see Samoa Joe & The Bar move to Smackdown too. Think Jeff Hardy might go to Smackdown too and leave Matt with Bray.

Miz is going back to Smackdown at the request of Bryan, that is going to be very good!

Wonder who will go to Smackdown tonight, assume one of Jeff Hardy or Seth will do now Jeff has the US title, think it may be him (and I did call it!).

Well I think Smackdown has had a bloody good Shake Up and looks a lot better now with the additions of Miz, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Asuka, The Bar, The Club, Sanity, Cien Almas. Mandy Rose & Sonya will be effective as for R-Truth forgot he still had a contract.

Not sure about Big Cass but I'll give him a chance before passing judgement.

Give Rusev a push as a huge face plus the additions and current stars and Smackdown will be the better show like it was in the early days of the draft.

The Raw roster looks so weak in terms of potentially entertaining feuds in comparison to Smackdown. Can't help but feel they are really pushing for SD's ratings.
