Superstar Shakeup / SMACKDOWN Thread
 

Daniel Bryan has revealed the James Ellsworth is staying on SDLive the A-Show!

But will he survive Spring Cleaning?

I would hope Becky or Carmella at the very least, let James smell there sweaty underwear after intense matches.

The face that runs the place

Will prob miss the beg of the show, store crowded af

Omg this woman is standing right behind me in line...if u can read this over my shoulder plz back the f*** up

Her phone ringtone is 'Jesus take the wheel'...talking unbearably loud now

Well, first few minutes will set the tone of the show. Either bring out your big prize first and get the crowd in the mood, or a not-so-good star and piss everyone off.

Kevin Owens/ Jericho/ Joe/ Sasha/ Charlotte/ The New Day

That's who's coming to smackdown per my sources

Hey, the return of Suit Owens.

KO DOWN

It starts. Time to get #FireJBL trending again.

Kevin Owens shaved :lol:

I miss Mauro.

Byron is just going to make this weird.

Jericho pretty much has to follow him

1/1

Makes sense Owens swapped now that Dean's on RAW.

Gotta change the lights during his entrance music from red to blue now.

So immediately I wonder

Will KO defend the belt on the RAW PPV vs Jericho if Jericho also shows up

Glad they did the logical thing and moved KO over.

Here comes Boston's own Sasha Banks.

Nakamura time?

Clean cut Owens is actually a pretty good look for him.

Just puttin' it out there.

LOL

wtf

Baron Corbin is America's fighter.

I feel real confident.

Kind of funny WWE teases a possible stable of Joe, Owens, and Triple H going into Mania and then drops it as quickly as it started.

so shocking

Was expecting Corbin to sprout out some Steiner-like match with the way he was playing up his chances.

:lol: at the feud that never ends moving to the Blue Brand.

OH NO!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Hahaha Zayn and Owens are destined to always be on the same show

Here comes Zayn vs. Owens #5,321

Sami Zayn has arrived!

The face that runs the place to restore order.

I like having Owens on Smackdown.

I like having Zayn on Smackdown.

But I don't want Owens and Zayn on the same show.

Oh good because I told myself I don't think Ive seen Owens and Sami face each other .

Best thing to happen to Smackdown last night was keeping The Face That Runs The Place and his glorious hair.

Owens and AJ should be good

Zayn - AJ

KO - AJ

Corbin - KO

Corbin - Zayn



I'm interested!

Tag team sense is tingling.

Oh, nice curveball there.

TAG MATCH PLAYA!

This is one intense start to Smackdown.

Oooh, a "State of the Women's Division" address.

Anything from the rumor mill/dirt sheets about Naomi? She re-injure herself?

Sorry, everyone for the confusion, but this thread is NOT official. Please direct all further posts to the OFFICIAL thread for tonight's show.

Thank-You!

Ooooooooooooooh.

So, should they merge then? Or should this one be closed?

Rowen is a rudderless ship now

I say we do away with this thread. #SHUTITDOWN

Slik made his thread first.

Why is Erick Rowan still on Smackdown? What is he doing?

What is Luke Harper doing?

This is such a bad photoshop job

BRAY'S BACK!

Rowan = http://i.imgur.com/BkStsHS.gif

Harper = Putting the finishing touches on the transformation to a new Harperlina look. Already got a new shirt and doesn't look like he just woke up in the morning or as a hobo.

That's just what he wants you to think.

Ah nice to see the Shepard still tending his flock

Would be nice if Wyatt menaced both brands since y'know Taker is gone


Rowan finally stopped failing!

Rowan's beard has gotten even more ridiculous

fuck outta here with that DQ finish

Just tuning in, KO and Sami to SD? Anyone else so far?

fuck outta here with these anti smoking commercials

Not yet

R-Truth should be doing these WWE anti-smoking ads.

It progressed the storyline, I don't see where your gripe is.

Surprise tag team, please?

So this is half the tag division, right?

If they ever want kids to stop listening to music just play him as K-Kwik and Road Dogg trying to rap to "Get Rowdy".

Alpha, Thug Usos, Fashion Police, Ascension. Vaudevillians finished, Hype Bros. on hiatus.

Missing anyone else?

Does Rebecca know you talk like that?

Where my DIY at

This tag match right now is literally half of Smackdown's tag division.

Feels like these are SDL's last two teams

Ouch at whichever Uso it was that Gable suplexed since it looked like he landed right on his head.

Good tag match.

goddammit

Was gonna say the same thing.

If the preview image on the SD! page for tonight is any indication (not saying it is), then expect to also see tonight: Charlotte, Emma and Roman.

:lol: at Smackdown actually wanting the Shinning Stars. Last thing they need is more jobber or low tier teams.

Primo & Epico in casualware.

Whatever.

Ascension, Breezango, Shooting Stars!??

Smackdown tag division is STACKED!!

Hey, Smackdown got Jacked Jinder Mahal.

Please tell me SmackDown is getting another team and not just The Shining Stars.....

Golden Truth? :shifty:

I don't think they're The Shining Stars anymore.

The SHINING Stars? lol


oooo SDL got the greatest pick of all Jinder Mahal and his iron veins of peace

‪Just went to take pizza out of oven, did the tag match end, what happened?‬

Wait...the man who's first half of his last name is the Monday show isn't now on that show?!

Gronk's back again.

He must know a guy, or is looking for a new job.

I love the idea of Kurt Angle and Daniel Bryan sitting down to discuss trades, and at some point they were like

"Fancy swapping Jinder Mahal for Curt Hawkins?"
"Er, I mean.. yeah, I guess?"

OH BOY....THIS'LL BE A BARN BURNER! :roll:

Guess Jinder got tired of smashing people in the face on RAW.

This would have been a bad pick if it wasn't for the stuff at Mania since it at least gives him something meaningful to work with unlike with Hawkins.

If I were running SDL I'd except a sandwich made in 1995 to trade Mojo to RAW

How did Mojo not get sent to RAW

I like the idea of them swapping GM positions to different shows better, but then again 90% of that is an excuse I want for American Alpha and Kurt to interact.

Heh. Lil' Naitch almost got ran over.

WHAT are they doing to #SDLive

Uhh...that's assault.

Ouch. I heard that.

Ill assume Jinder got traded for that spot right there and by next week hell be forgotten

So if we're doing a scorecard of the trades here's where we're at:

Ambrose for Owens
Miz for Zayn
Slater and Rhyno for Primo y Epico
Hawkins for Jinder
Otunga for Saxton

Raw also obtained Wyatt, Alexa, Mickie, Crews, and Kalisto

SmackDown would definitely be bringing in two women I'm sure. So it's the other three I'm wondering about. I think Crews and Kalisto may have been swapped for another tag team, because they need the help there. It's likely a face team.

So that leaves the question of who moved, if anybody, moved over for Wyatt. Can't see it being Strowman since he's being positioned to face Lesnar for a few PPVs down the line and of course they did the Reigns angle.

Maybe Samoa Joe? It'd keep him with Owens if they want to stay aligned. He can have a blowoff with Rollins at Payback and then switch shows?
