Smackdown Live 7/17 - AJ Styles vs Andrade Cien Almas

[smarkmouth]

I need a cigarette just from writing that thread title. Hope they give it time!

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Almas has been very impressive so far and has made me a believer. He's gonna be a star.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I like Becky Lynch, but she’s just too generic.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Did she say Becky Balboa?

[BestSportsEntertainer]

This has been a great episode so far

[smarkmouth]

I'm very behind, just finished Almas vs AJ. So glad to see Cien look so strong! Damn good match! Almost compensates for keeping him off TV for like four weeks.

Nice little staredown afterwards. I love the little things.

*Generic comment about how awesome Miz is*

Miz vs Bryan for the WWE Title at WM 35 needs to happen

[smarkmouth]

Did she say Becky Balboa?

Indeed she did. It's a thing.

Miz vs Bryan for the WWE Title at WM 35 needs to happen

All for it happening at 35, but I almost hope there's no title. When a feud is this hot, I feel like bringing a championship title into the mix dilutes it.

[smarkmouth]

Oof, WWE is going to be promoting Miz and Mrs against their own 205 Live timeslot. Eh, a diverse audience I guess.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

This has been the most enjoyable TV episode in a LONG time.

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

Did they just show a child in the crowd with a sign supporting a heel?

What the fucking fuck is going on these days ?

I have to revise this after the funeral. This is definitely happening at Summerslam, but a rematch for the title at Mania might not be so forced. Especially with Miz saying that Bryan's days of headlining WrestleMania are over. There's a story.

Sadistic heel Orton is the best Orton

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

Heel orton, the best Orton.

Please switch Shinsuke back. Please.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Tremendous show tonight and the best since WrestleMania. Not a single bad match or segment, and you get the sense that they actually have a clue about what they want to do. Like KB said, tonight's show had a goal. Build Almas, Sanity, Joe, and Becky up. Further the red hot feud between Miz and Bryan. And then a good match between Nakamura and Hardy at the end. Also Orton is now MUCH more interesting, and this is something he has needed for a while. Great show and worthy of a B+

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Heel orton, the best Orton.

Please switch Shinsuke back. Please.

Nakamura as a face was just... boring. He's been a LOT more interesting as a heel.

We’re past Extreme Rules and officially on the way to Summerslam, meaning things should be getting a lot bigger in a hurry around here. AJ Styles is still the WWE Champion and is going to be needing a new challenger. There’s a good chance that’s going to be Samoa Joe, which should be good for everyone involved. Let’s get to it.
