Tonight, on the With Spandex WWE Smackdown Live open discussion thread for April 11, 2017:
After losing Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose, The Miz, Bray Wyatt, Alexa Bliss and more, who will SmackDown LIVE bring to the blue brand to replenish their ranks as the Superstar Shake-up continues tonight? — via WWE.com
Our five-point preview:
1. The Superstars … they have been shaken up. But not shaken up ALL THE WAY yet. We’ll see moves from Raw to Smackdown tonight. Who will be among the new Team Blue stars? Other than Kevin Owens and Charlotte Flair, obviously.
2. American Alpha will get a Smackdown Tag Team Championship rematch tonight, because their bodies were needed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania. My guess is that the Usos retain and another team gets a shot at the title picture. The New Day, anyone?
3. Even though Bray Wyatt is on Raw now, he’s not done losing to Randy Orton. He’ll get one more chance to lose to Orton at Payback, as they will begin to set up a “House of Horrors” match. I hope it’s just a regular match, but they play ICP’s “House of Horrors” in the background the whole time. That’s spookier than Bray’s ring-maggots, for sure.
4. Shinsuke Nakamura and Tye Dillinger debuted last week. AJ Styles is without a program at the moment, and it looks like he’s not heading to Raw. So … extended Nakamura vs. Styles feud, anyone? [Birdman hand rub]
5. What will Daniel Bryan do now that his greatest nemesis, The Miz, is on Raw? Probably more triflin’. Triflin’-ass D-Bry.
Also happening tonight is the hot new show dedicated entirely to cruiserweights, 205 Live. Feel free to use this as your one-stop party shop for Tuesday night wrestling shenanigans, and be back here tomorrow for the full Best and Worst of Smackdown Live.
