Smackdown - August 16, 2016 LD

[Deoxyribonucleic A.C.I.D.]

If Orton vs Brock turns out to be a squash that would be a huge crime, lMO. Hope it is an even match between the two... with Brock picking up the victory in the end(Orton really shouldn't be the conqueror of the conqueror of the streak, lMO).

After the shame Brock brought to the WWE, the same month Roman gets suspended and sent down the card, Lesnar staying completely unpunished is a travesty.

Randy Orton is a WWE original, a legend. If anything, he deserves to win at Summerslam. I don't know how it happens, with interference, with 10 punt kicks, with a low blow, Orton has to win, at least IMO.

Plus that way you can sell a big rematch for Survivor Series, the same way WWE sold the rematch between Styles and Cena for Summerslam.

 

[enviousdominous]

Ah, so Bray isn't really here after all. False alarm.

 

[L@RISANO]

Loool! Heath thinks he's on RAW.

 

[enviousdominous]

There's Bray!

 

[alfonzo13]

Kinda getting the feeling that Bray costs Orton the match now...

 

[enviousdominous]

They forgot to add the fact that Dean Ambrose once headlined WrestleMania against Moondog Rex.

 

[enviousdominous]

Kinda getting the feeling that Bray costs Orton the match now...

I'm thinking that Brock might take a loss, given his most recent controversy. Randy taking a loss to Heath seems like penance for a win over Lesnar.

The worst thing WWE can do is make Orton vs Lesnar go on longer, especially given they are on different brands. Need to have a clear winner and move on to other stuff. Ntm, Brock Lesnar is still very much able to 'make' someone by laying down for them(Nakamura is my choice actually).


This Brock vs Orton SummerSlam match was made before the Brand Split was official, so the crossover feud was acceptable, but post-SummerSlam, there should be none whatsoever, lMO.

Who would have thought 6 months ago that Ambrose would be the leading man for one brand and WWE Champion at the same time, for real.

Oh don't say that.

Well they're surely setting something up for Orton vs Wyatt, no?

 

[enviousdominous]

Not so much a tilt-o-whirl, he just spun around and fell forward.

 

[enviousdominous]

Well they're surely setting something up for Orton vs Wyatt, no?

No.

 

[Navi]

Oh the irony, Rowan loses one match and Bray walks away pissed. Bray loses almost every feud and Rowan sticks by his side.

 

[enviousdominous]

ALEXA BLISS! I'm happy.

 

[klunderbunker]

JBL: You wouldn't expect Dean to drop a top rope elbow while someone is standing up.

He does it every single match.

 

[enviousdominous]

Blah, they didn't televise Alexa Bliss' entrance.

 

[enviousdominous]

Thank goodness for Hulu. I'll have to watch last week's Smackdown after this.

 

[Navi]

Jesus Christ hilarious it's Eva Marie.

 

[enviousdominous]

So Eva can just have a match anytime she wants!?

 

[enviousdominous]

I love the new Naomi even more because she's working with Eva.

 

[Navi]

Eva Marie's gimmick, best thing in the WWE right now.

 

[enviousdominous]

Naomi looks like a He-Man villain in that getup.

 

[Navi]

She looks great.

 

[Dmbfantomas]

Eva is amazing.

By the way, Becky is the women's MVP right? She is carrying this division to being legitimately interesting basically on her own.
