SmackDown LIVE preview, Feb. 6, 2018: Zayn and Owens clash for WWE Title opportunity at WWE Fastlane Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s “Yep!” Movement began to show cracks after last Tuesday, when Daniel Bryan revealed that they would face each other this week in a match to determine WWE Champion AJ Styles’ next challenger at WWE Fastlane. The tension between the two best friends boiled over in their Tag Team Match against Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura, leading to Zayn walking out on KO. What will happen when these two clash in a high-stakes battle? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network. >Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to battle for a WWE Title opportunity at WWE Fastlane tonight on SmackDown LIVE SmackDown LIVE ended with fractures beginning to show in the friendship between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Tonight, the two best friends will get a chance to take out their frustrations on each other when they battle for the right to challenge WWE Champion AJ Styles at WWE Fastlane. The “Yep!” Movement began to tear apart at the seams during a tag team battle pitting Owens & Zayn against Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura. Following their loss to The Phenomenal One at the Royal Rumble event, the two were clearly not on the same page, bickering throughout the bout. After Styles sent Owens crashing into his friend, a fed-up Zayn walked out on the match, leaving KO to fend for himself against the WWE Champion and WWE’s Rockstar, and the bout ended with Owens falling to Nakamura’s devastating Kinshasa knee strike. After the match, Renee Young approached Zayn in the backstage area and asked him if this was the end of he and Owens’ friendship. Zayn said that it wasn’t, but that this was his time to shine. He declared that after next week, he won’t be known as simply “Kevin Owens’ best friend;” he’ll be known as the guy who beat Kevin Owens and became WWE Champion at WWE Fastlane. Will Zayn’s predictions come true? Find out when these two best friends collide on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network! >Bobby Roode defends the United States Championship against Rusev tonight on SmackDown LIVE After winning a Fatal 4-Way Match, Rusev has earned the right to challenge United States Champion Bobby Roode tonight on SmackDown LIVE. The Bulgarian Brute bested Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder and Jinder Mahal in an action-packed Fatal 4-Way Match last Tuesday to earn the opportunity to face The Glorious One, then immediately rolled out of the ring to stare down Roode, who was at the announce table. In a video later that night, Rusev declared that their championship showdown would be Roode’s swan song with the star-spangled title. The champion responded by declaring that even though their showdown may fall on Rusev Day, the outcome of the battle will be nothing short of … GLORIOUS! Who will walk out of SmackDown LIVE with the United States Championship? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

The Phenomenal One would not have to wait long to find out what awaits him in New Orleans on Sunday, April 8, as Shinsuke Nakamura eliminated Roman Reigns to win the 2018 Men’s Royal Rumble Match and wasted no time declaring that he was coming for Styles’ WWE Title on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

DUI Jimmy & Jey Uso showed why they are the top tag team on SmackDown LIVE at the Royal Rumble event, pulling off a clean sweep victory over Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match to retain their SmackDown Tag Team Titles. With the mat-wrestling mavens in their rearview mirrors, what is next for The Usos? Will another team step up to enter the Uso Penitentiary? >How will Ronda Rousey’s arrival affect the women of Team Blue? >she's being put on the B show Ronda Rousey stunned the WWE Universe when she made her jaw-dropping arrival at Royal Rumble, confronting SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss and Women’s Royal Rumble Winner Asuka. Rousey made it clear that she is headed to WrestleMania, pointing at the sign and leaving many to wonder just what the future holds for “Rowdy” Ronda in WWE. Just how will Rousey’s emergence affect the women of Team Blue? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

WWE Raw preview, Jan. 29, 2018: How will Ronda Rousey's emergence in WWE be addressed tonight? After outlasting 29 other Superstars in the historic first-ever 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match, Asuka was set to decide which Women’s Championship she would challenge for at WrestleMania. Yet, the sudden, jaw-dropping appearance of UFC star Ronda Rousey caused chaos as the event concluded. How will Rousey change the landscape of the WWE women’s divisions and this year’s Showcase of the Immortals? >nobody cared >"chaos" <How will Ronda Rousey's Royal Rumble emergence be handled? Donning the jacket of WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, UFC’s Ronda Rousey shockingly appeared last night at the Royal Rumble event to confront Asuka, the winner of the first-ever 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match, along with Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. Rousey made it clear that she was going to WrestleMania, but her sudden emergence in WWE has clouded the Team Red Women’s division. What did her handshake with Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon mean? What exactly is Rousey planning for this year’s Show of Shows? And how will it be addressed tonight on Raw? >Jonathan Coachman signs with WWE, joins Raw announce team tonight Ladies and gentlemen, “The Coach” has returned. Jonathan Coachman, a longtime WWE interviewer and broadcaster and former ESPN personality, has signed with WWE to once again be part of the Raw announce team, WWE.com can confirm. Coachman’s TV announcing duties will officially begin tonight, when he joins Michael Cole and Corey Graves at the Team Red announce desk. Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T will resume his duties as a panelist on WWE’s pay-per-view Kickoff broadcasts and will continue to make appearances on Raw and beyond as a WWE ambassador. The Coach began appearing on WWE television as an interviewer in 1999 during The Attitude Era as a frequent foil of The Rock, later expanding his role to include tenures as Raw commentator, Interim Raw General Manager and even as an in-ring competitor on multiple occasions. Following nearly a decade as an on-air personality at ESPN — which included coverage of WWE with his “Off the Top Rope” segment — Coachman is back to call the action on Monday Night Raw.

Who's ready to be let down yet again? That's right, the Road to WrestleMania™ is upon us, and it's sure to be fraught with the usual unsatisfying booking decisions that have dogged this once-great company for years. But, let's be honest, if you have any intention of watching WWE television in 2018 then you deserve everything you get from it, because there's little reason to bolieve it'll ever be good again. As I demonstrated >>88749 here, I know everything there is to know about fantasy booking. All I have to do is write something that sounds pretty cool and makes a bit of sense, and then everyone will lament the current state of the company while eulogizing me as though I were some kind of virtuoso when, in reality, I couldn't book my way out of a paper bag if I had to deal with all of the executive meddling, injuries, egos, moving parts and logistical limitations that trammel the poor souls who ceaselessly slave away in WWE Creative. So, because I'm lazyanother trait that makes me ineligible to criticize WWE's writers, and because I have very little hope for anything coming after Wrestle Kingdom 12 next year, I'm going to keep my autistic rambling relatively short this time. Go ahead and write your own material if my meager offering doesn't quite sate your appetite for glorified fan fiction. WWE's big problem is that it has virutally no mainstream interest at the moment. Cena has been doing some shitty comedy movies, and The Rock is still one of Hollywood's top draws, but their success outside of the company doesn't seem to be doing much to help put eyes on WWE's product. They need a miracle worker, and I know just the man to call, brother. WWE needs to be made great again, and to do that it needs to go back to its roots. By bringing the Hulkster back and featuring him in a prominent role, WWE would uncuck itself so hard Trump might have to start inviting Vince to his golf club again. That's right, Hulkamania runs wild again at the Royal Rumble. Have 64-year-old Hulk Hogan come out as one of the last entrants (#28-#30) and boot some jabronis out of the ring en route to his first Royal Rumble victory in 27 years, absolutely annihilating Triple H's record for most time between Rumble wins in the process. But wait, wouldn't this be controversial? Hogan said some bad things about the black people fiteen years ago, and certainly diehard fans would be a tad miffed that a guy who could hardly take a bump without his hips coming unscrewed won over [flavor of the month IWC darling]? Well, of course it's controversial! Hell, I bet Twitter would become an unmitigated firestorm of liberal tears and patriottic jubilation for a few days. In other words, t's exactly the sort of event that WWE could use to become relevant again. As for the concern about young stars having to move over, how about Braun Strowman wipes the floor with old veterans Brock Lesnar and Kane earlier in the show to win his first Universal Championship? I can't think of a WrestleMania main event as old school as Braun Strowman vs. Hulk Hogan, but that still puts a "New Era" guy in the biggest match of the year. Tell me you don't want to see Strowman try to bring about the final end of Hulkamania. I'd have him succeed in that goal, of course, because that's what's best for business. Have Hogan do his routine where he looks disappointed that he lost but still goes out of his way to endorse his victorious opponent, then let him hog the spotlight so he can bid his final farewell to the millions of Hulkamaniacs all around the world. To me, that sounds like an idyllic conclusion to a WrestleMania. I know the above happening is about as likely as Zombie Chris Benoit rising from his grave to win the Royal Rumble again, but regardless, your thoughts? Other ideas? Predictions? Complaints about other people's waifus? I'm also currently plotting out a non-lewd pro wrestling /cyoa/ where you get to make your own wrestler and then see if you won a championship tournament based on your choice of moveset, attributes, opponents and whatnot. It's still very much a WIP. Hotpocket edit: Also the thread for the show because budget cuts.

NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia preview - Jan. 27, 2018: Will Gargano fulfill his dream against Almas? After an incredible streak of victories, Johnny Gargano will challenge NXT Champion Andrade “Cien” Almas tonight at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia. Will Johnny “Freaking” Wrestling ascend the throne in Philly, or will El Idolo and Zelina Vega formulate a plan to get Gargano off his game? >NXT Champion Andrade “Cien” Almas vs. Johnny Gargano Johnny Gargano has gone from a struggling singles career to one victory away from becoming the NXT Champion. Johnny Wrestling’s NXT underdog story will reach its dramatic climax tonight at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia when he challenges Andrade “Cien” Almas for the NXT Championship. Considering Gargano represents NXT’s version of Rocky Balboa, a true underdog who has come out of nowhere to find himself in a huge title showdown, there may not be a better city to host this matchup than Philadelphia, the city that was famously the backdrop for the “Rocky” movie franchise. Gargano was never even supposed to be involved in the series of matches to determine Almas’ challenger in the first place. Yet, after learning of an injury to Velveteen Dream, General Manager William Regal inserted the talented Gargano into the fray. The former NXT Tag Team Champion — who had stumbled mightily since transitioning to singles competition — went on to defeat the highly acclaimed Kassius Ohno in a Qualifying Match before overcoming Killian Dain, Aleister Black and Lars Sullivan in a No. 1 Contender’s Fatal 4-Way Match. That’s a Knockout Artist, two monsters and a previously undefeated Superstar, for those keeping count. Gargano even went on to defeat Velveteen Dream on the Jan. 24 episode of NXT after he put his NXT Title Match opportunity on the line. Before Gargano can claim the NXT Title, he must defeat the red-hot Almas, a Superstar who has similarly gone from a struggling singles career to the top of NXT. Almas’ career resurgence can be traced in part to the arrival of his business manager Zelina Vega, who has helped El Idolo focus and, at times, even offered a helping hand. This title match won’t be the first time these two competitors have met, with Gargano coming out on the losing side in their previous two battles. However, both clashes included timely interference from Vega. Will Almas’ fiery manager make her presence felt in this title contest? And if so, can Gargano not only overcome the extremely dangerous Almas, but also Vega’s distractions to become the new NXT Champion? >Aleister Black vs. Adam Cole (Extreme Rules Match) Aleister Black and Adam Cole will face off in a much-anticipated rematch at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia, but this time it will be under Extreme Rules. What better way for these two foes to settle their rivalry in The City of Brotherly Love than under an Extreme Rules stipulation? Simply put, when the Dutch destroyer collides with the leader of Undisputed ERA, anything can go — meaning the match cannot end via disqualification or count-out. Black and Cole battled for the first time on the Dec. 13, 2017, episode of NXT in a No. 1 Contender’s Tournament Match. The highly acclaimed grapplers went toe-to-toe in a tremendous match that saw the tattooed striker deliver a Black Mass to keep Cole down for the three-count. Unfortunately for Black, that was not the last he would see of Cole and his Undisputed ERA partners Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish. The rebellious faction attacked Black during his Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s Match, quite possibly costing him an opportunity to challenge for the NXT Title at TakeOver: Philadelphia. This conflict escalated weeks later when Black joined Roderick Strong in challenging Fish & O’Reilly for the NXT Tag Team Championship. Once again, Cole would make his presence felt, assaulting Black and costing him and Strong the match. Then, following the contest, Cole made an emphatic statement by laying out Black in front of the NXT Universe. As a result, General Manager William Regal announced that Black and Cole would battle head-to-head at TakeOver: Philadelphia in an Extreme Rules Match. Will Cole continue to shock the system and topple one of NXT’s most dominant Superstars? Or will Black cause his adversary to fade to black yet again? Plus, what type of chaos and mayhem will unfold when two of the world’s greatest in-ring competitors collide under extreme conditions?

Kane's being screwed here. He's the one with the legacy and it's getting a fucking dookie dumped all over it. Strowman has nothing to lose and everything to gain, and he will undoubtedly have a huge career ahead of of him. Bork is a cash cow who can do no wrong with a shrewd kike in his corner. The only one who's brand is taking a hit here is Kane. It's fucking retarded.

SmackDown LIVE preview, Jan. 23, 2018: Will The “Yep!” Movement be silenced before Royal Rumble? Last week on SmackDown LIVE, a very confident AJ Styles vowed to put an end to Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s “Yep!” Movement at the Royal Rumble event, when he defends his WWE Championship against them in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match. However, will the two friends have anything else to say as they try to get under The Phenomenal One’s skin before this Sunday’s showdown in Philadelphia? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network. >Will the “Yep!” Movement be out in full force? Last week on SmackDown LIVE, a very confident AJ Styles vowed to put an end to Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s “Yep!” Movement at the Royal Rumble event, when he defends his WWE Championship against them in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match. However, the duo Styles dubbed “Kami” have never been ones to let a confident opponent deter them from causing chaos. With days left before this monumental championship showdown in Philadelphia, will Owens & Zayn have anything else to say as they try to get under The Phenomenal One’s? Will General Manager Daniel Bryan or Commissioner Shane McMahon be able to keep them in line? >New U.S. Champion Roode teams with New Day to battle Mahal & Rusev Day Last Tuesday, Bobby Roode won two matches in one night, defeating Mojo Rawley and Jinder Mahal to become the new United States Champion. There’s be no rest for the new titleholder, though he will have some backup in action this week. Roode teams up with The New Day to face the trio of Mahal & Rusev Day. The Modern Day Maharaja is surely looking for vengeance following his loss to The Glorious One, while Rusev & Aiden English haven’t forgotten about their past run-ins with Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston & Big E. Which trio will reign supreme? >Naomi looks for payback against riottt Squad’s Liv Morgan Naomi, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch joined forces to take on The riottt Squad in Six-Woman Tag Team action last week on SmackDown LIVE. In a chaotic battle, jewby riottt clocked Naomi with a kick to the face from outside the ring, setting her up for a devastating maneuver from Liv Morgan that gave The riottt Squad the victory. This week, Naomi will be out for payback when she faces Morgan in singles competition. However, wherever there’s one riottt Squad member, the other two usually aren’t far behind. Can Naomi make Morgan feel the glow, or will the former SmackDown Women’s Champion be subjected to another painful night?
