WWE Smackdown Live Open Discussion Thread (7/16/19)


WWE

Tonight is the first episode of Smackdown Live after Extreme Rules 2019 and here’s WWE.com’s official preview:

Kevin Owens has made his disdain for Shane McMahon extremely clear in recent weeks, including during the aftermath of his win over Dolph Ziggler at Extreme Rules on Sunday. Apparently, Shane has decided it’s time to air out any and all grievances. Shane-O-Mac has vowed to host a town hall meeting tonight for the WWE Superstars to let them voice their complaints.
KO certainly has his concerns, but will any other Superstars speak up? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA!


Our five-point preview:

1. So far the people’s champion Kevin Owens’ very relatable rants about Shane McMahon have not decreased the amount of Shane McMahon content on our TVs 2-3 times a week. Maybe tonight at this town hall he’ll stunner him out of our lives for a while? Please???

2. Daniel Bryan will make a “career-altering announcement” on this episode of Smackdown, which is not the least stressful thing to read, considering Bryan’s past career-altering announcements. But Bryan did cut a masterfully deranged promo backstage at Extreme Rules teasing the next angle for his character, so this could be great, actually.

3. ASUKA AND KAIRI SANE ARE FINALLY CHALLENGING FOR THE IICONICS’ TAG TITLES THIS IS NOT A DRILL

4. In other women’s tag team action news, Ember Moon will have a mystery partner against Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. In this post-Wildcare era, it could be anyone.

5. WWE hasn’t hinted yet at what our WWE Champion, Smackdown Women’s Champion, Smackdown Tag Team Champions, or new Intercontinental Champion will be up to this week, if anything. Any ideas, comments section?

As always, +1 your favorite comments from tonight’s open thread and give them a thumbs up and we’ll include 10 of the best in tomorrow’s Best and Worst of Smackdown Live report. Make sure to flip your comments to “newest” in the drop-down menu under “discussion,” and enjoy the show!
