OOfficial Discussion Thread for: SmackDown LIVE (July 26, 2016)
Tonight on SmackDown: the Tuesday Night Blue Crew will have one hell of a hard time topping last night's RAW... but it sounds like they
are gonna give it the old college try...
Shane McMahon has promised that tonight's show will end with a new #1 Contender to Dean Ambrose's WWE Title... the way the roster sets up,
it would appear to be a two man race between AJ Styles and Bray Wyatt, by far SD's top two heels at this point... for me, the nominal edge goes
to Styles, with Wyatt taking some time to re-invent himself as a pure singles (unless, of course, they just intend to have him tread water for a
couple months, then have Luke Harper return from injury to reunite the original Wyatts)... Ambrose vs. Styles isn't QUITE the same as Rollins
vs. Balor, but damned if it isn't nearly as appetizing...
And in a separate development, John Cena has promised that something big is in store tonight... while not explicitly saying so, you sort of assume it
might have to do with Cena's own next chapter, as he probably won't be in the mix for a major title so long as he's a TV-only
character (outside of foreign tours, Cena will work very few house shows going forward), but still needs something significant to do when he IS on
TV.... SD's the brand that is liable to dabble in free agency, which is the easiest area in which to pull off a major shocking surprise, but I
have no educated guesses as to what Cena could be hinting at, or if he might just be hyperbolizing....
Randy Orton will be in the house, with a LOT of work to be done to get the ball rolling on his SummerSlam match with Lesnar (besides the simple fact
that it is a Lesnar match, I mean); Sunday's PPV reminded us that Orton's ceiling on the mic is "dumb high school jock with exactly one
zinger memorized," so unlike other recent injury returns, you might just stick him back into the ring for a match, rather than holding that off until
te PPV...
The Miz is IC Champ, and needs a fresh challenger for SS... Ziggler appears to be the "obvious" choice, given SD's roster, but two slightly
fresher options would be Kalisto or Apollo Crews... IMO, SD lacks the depth necessary to launch its own Womens or Tag titles, but if they have designs
on going that route, my guess is it happens sooner than later, so keep your eyes peeled for the Intergalactic Tag Team Title and the Multidimensional
Women's Title... or, if not, Becky vs. Nattie is still the primary issue driving the SD women's division, while Breezango's upset
win over the Usos on Sunday shakes up the power rankings in the tag division.... and in both cases, NXT could impact things, as Alexa Bliss, Carmella,
and American Alpha are all hyped as debuting tonight (Alpha are already one of the top 3-4 teams in all of WWE, and Alexa's going to surprise a
lot of people, and not just in their pants)...
In addition to the NXT call-ups and the possibility for free agent signings, Daniel Bryan also said on Sunday's PPV that SD will be fearless in
trying a bunch of new, innovative, outside-the-box ideas... while acknowledging that some of the ideas may flop, he said that won't stop them
from keep throwing them out there, because he knows way more will hit than miss... so that could be interesting... also, much like RAW, SD has all new
logos/graphics/broadcast crew; last night's running joke was that RAM is MAR, but I fully expect tonight's to be the SD logo's
distressing resemblance to Impact's logo...
That is all. End communication....
The flOOr is yours, OO Nation. Don't wait till after 10pm to post, either. Pre-show previewing and prognosticating is certainly welcome.
So discuss, debate, and rate!

I am sooooo tempted to point out that our own OO Rick Master & Lord of OO Universe has perpetuated the burial of Becky Lynch by placing her in the
middle of the fifth paragraph of a six paragraph post and not even bothering to use her last name.
But I wouldn't do that.

Sweet fancy moses I'd love for any one of those to come to fruition. If I may pile on...
-When in doubt, Daniel Bryan just calls people "slap nuts"
-Becky Lynch gets traded to the 2nd Season of MTV's Tough Enough section of the WWE Network
-AJ Styles in mom jeans
-Shane just hangs around backstage twirling a pair of jumper cables around. Menacingly.
-It's announced that Hornswoggle, El Torito and a freshly kneecapped Damian Sandow have been resigned for Smackdowns exclusive NXWEE division
-Natalya hot off her win over Becky jobs to one of Randall's protein-dense turds in under 20 seconds
-A baked out of his gourd Vince Russo will be replacing Mauro Ranallo at the commentary booth.
-Frequent cuts to a snowed in Tim Horton's where Bret Hart is crankily investigating the most recent in a string of vampire murders
-Playing up Cena's "special appearance" status he will from hereon out ditch the jorts and wrestle in his cock-sock from Trainwreck
-A Trios division

And she's right in the middle of the screen, in the BACKGROUND behind Shane & Daniel Bryan. She
will win the Battle Royale, and then be pinned by Baron Corbin in the 6-pack challenge match.
Most Epic Burial Ever.

Cena being satisfied by beating AJ in a six man feels out of character. I think those two aren't done till they do a second big time singles
match. My prediction is that much like RAW, all the big boys are tied into matches to settle the Title picture and we won't get a glimpse at
their own storylines till next week.
With Ambrose, Cena, and Orton as top faces I really hope they pull a Ziggler turn. Guys is in serious need of a reboot.

Can anyone tell me who that orange-headed goof betwixt Dean and Cena is? Like, is it a fan that got up on the apron or some garbage that should be
disrespected or buried in the back somewhere?
All this meanness is killing janerd.

Dear God PLEASE let them turn Ziggler. I love the guy but haven't had any reason to get behind the guy since he turned face and fizzled. The guy
relishes in being a heel. Why waste any more time as a milquetoast babyface?
Edit: I don't want to get my hopes up but I feel like they might have plams for Breezango and that makes me a happy camper.

You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,
that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but
I'm not high. You know what I mean?

This new camera angle they're using for the Battle Royale w/ Cheese is kind of... Odd? It's making me think people are taller than they
really are, or some other sort of optical chicanery.

I was one of
the people lobbying hard for The Golden Truth, and... Well, until the Pokemon Go Incident last night, Breezango actually have been stealing the show
as far as those two teams go. Considering they were supposed to be the "leftovers" of the Golden Truth angle, they're doing well for
themselves.

That whiffed dropkick Ryder delivered to Kalisto looked painful.
Edit: Ryder's a bit off tonight. And there is no reason for Kane to be in this match. Im sure he isn't winning but the big unstoppable
monster role could've been filled by Corbin or Rowan or somebody who could benefit from a rub. Dont get me wrong, I love the guy and respect all
that he's done and the many turds he's had to polish but come on.

Buried Alive Rematch!! NEXT!! ON IMPACTDOWN!
And yeah, Zack was a little too hyped up (hah) tonight. I figured that was ADR's battle to lose, and.. well, he lost it. Yay for Mr. Crews!
If they put Corbin Bernsen in the battle royale to take Spot #6, who do they give his spot to in the First Five?

As bad as he is in general, sometimes he unleashes these idiot-savant moments of awesome, and
that's why I don't mind JBL as much as others do. I'm sad that we'll only get "WOULD YOU BE QUIET, MAGGLE" when they cross

I was just about to post something similar. JBL is capable and has shown in the past that he can be a decent, even good announcer. He's a lot
more palatable so far tonight. Moreso than he's been in YEARS. Here's hoping that continues.
