That was an absolute trash of a match, both of them to blame. Natalya in 2017 as a champion is absolutely shameful.

I don't mind Natalya as champion at a time between big PPVs. Come WM season if the title scenario isn't about Lynch and Charlotte then I'll be upset.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Bit of an indictment on the champion when the title match goes on with two matches to go after it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Shinsuke ain't winning this.

EDIT: lmfao he lost seconds after this.

 

[Athlai]

Ffs.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Jinder and Corbin are the two champs on Smackdown haha. Thank God baseball playoffs are on.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Man they really missed a trick here by not doing the double Roode entrance.

 

[Niall]

Expected jinder to win tonight, but leaves a sour taste after some of the more recent promos. Jinder isn't the worst, but bored of him and dreading the idea of him holding this title to Mania where I suppose he loses to Cena, while Roman beats Brock, internet going to be lit that night

Aj next for Jinder I assume, lets hope for better.

Please don't die

 

[Niall]

get up there ref ffs

 

[Athlai]

Oh my ****ing god. Sami?!?!?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha TWIST!!!!

 

[OverratedSanity]

I don't know if this'll work but atleast it's interesting.

 

[Athlai]

Sami also selling a fair bit of trepidation and didn't stick around to help KO alone. I guess the point was to make us watch on Tuesday to figure out what just ****ing happened.

 

[Athlai]

**** I can't remember the last time wrestling worked me as much as that moment when they showed the replay of Sami pulling KO. I was stunned.

 

[Niall]

So they turned one of the few genuine babyfaces heel? **** it, turn everyone heel while at it.

I am not totally shitting on this, but ultimately its Road Dogg booking this and as last few months have proven, that guy ****ing sucks.

Great opening match, but everything after that, was underwhelming, the depressing thing is plenty of these tepid angles look set to continue. Only face who won tonight was Randy zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Infuriating that such a bog standard and predictable PPV needed to run 30 minutes overtime also.

 

[Athlai]

I wouldn't bank on Sami Zayn being a heel is a certainty there. They're at least approaching tyisbwith shades of grey. Sami helped KO not die and then had them end the match. He didn't lay a hand on Shane, he didn't celebrate with KO. There's a lot of stories they might be telling here.

Also even if Sami is heel now, the KO Zayn storyline is just one of wrestlings greatest IMO.

 

[Niall]

It does have potential as iirc Steph treated him like a dork on Raw, but its Road Dogg ultimately is booking this and as Smackdown has proven over last few months with him in charge, best not to get my hopes up.

Am curious to see what happens though, zero interest in everything else which for a PPV that was 7 hours long, isn't really a good luck.

 

[Athlai]

Pretty sure Road Dogg is still booking with that NXT writer who made smackdown great in 2016/ early 17. And really at the end of the day Vince is the guy who makes the final calls.

 

[Niall]

Also to continue my negativity! Don't need to see Shane wrestle again ever, just a really bad wrestler who relies way to much on demented spots to cover up his flaws. Credit to him for doing them as he obviously does not need to due to who he is, but that was one of the more boring HIAC matches until the turn somewhat livened it up.
