Smackdown LD: 2/21/17

[shafe_41]

Dammit they beat me to the Tonya Harding joke.

 

[enviousdominous]

If someone threw someone else into me, I'd be smart enough to not blame the person who was thrown. Damn pro-wrestling logic.

 

[The Life Of Pablo Ren]

43 minutes for a 10 man battle royal?

 

[shafe_41]

43 minutes for a 10 man battle royal?

That's because the final two participants are going to be in an intensely competitive battle. Mojo and Kalisto.

 

[shafe_41]

I mean technically since Orton "relinquished" his opportunity, shouldn't we just have another normal 30-man Rumble? Why just 10 Smackdown guys?

And yes I know about the runner-up rule.

 

[Wildcat66]

That's because the final two participants are going to be in an intensely competitive battle. Mojo and Kalisto.

Well, I've always been in support of Kalisto getting a bigger push...

If only his mic skills weren't so garbage, he'd probably be in the running for the U.S title by now.

 

[enviousdominous]

No joke; I'd mark out like Sam Kinison in a screaming contest if Baron Corbin wins the battle royal.

 

[shafe_41]

And really... since we had to watch Naomi relinquish the women's title... shouldn't Wyatt in like 3-ish weeks? I mean is he actually going to defend the title before Mania? Or do they "technically" count house show defenses?

 

[Wildcat66]

Hey everyone! John Cena socks!

Get it? Get it?

Ah, forget you guys...

 

[enviousdominous]

Was John so focused on this match that he didn't feel like helping his hurt lady friend?

 

[shafe_41]

Hey everyone! John Cena socks!

Get it? Get it?

Ah, forget you guys...

What is he talking about Robin?

 

[The Life Of Pablo Ren]

And really... since we had to watch Naomi relinquish the women's title... shouldn't Wyatt in like 3-ish weeks? I mean is he actually going to defend the title before Mania? Or do they "technically" count house show defenses?

I was wondering that. I feel like the best way to interpret the 30 day rule is they don't HAVE to defend it within 30 days but they have to be ABLE to defend it. Like there can't be anything that prevents them from defending the title.

 

[enviousdominous]

I'm thinking that AJ might be winning this, since I don't know of any big feud that he's likely to be set-up with afterward.

 

[The Life Of Pablo Ren]

Where has Shane been? I feel like this AJ/Shane thing may not be happening after all.

 

[Wildcat66]

No guys. It's obvious.

Mojo Rawley's going to win the WWE championship at WrestleMania 33, it's all written in the prophecy of the late great wrestling legend, 'Alvin Kevintubby'.

 

[Navi]

Oh let's hope Ziggler is first out.

 

[shafe_41]

I think it's pretty obvious Harper wins this and sets up a Wyatt Family triple threat for the title. Not that Harper deserves the title match itself... but storyline-wise... it makes sense.

 

[enviousdominous]

No guys. It's obvious.

Mojo Rawley's going to win the WWE championship at WrestleMania 33, it's all written in the prophecy of the late great wrestling legend, 'Alvin Kevintubby'.

I'd ridicule you if I actually believed that the WWE wouldn't do that.

 

[Snugglebites]

No guys. It's obvious.

Mojo Rawley's going to win the WWE championship at WrestleMania 33, it's all written in the prophecy of the late great wrestling legend, 'Alvin Kevintubby'.

Then Ryder gets jealous when he's back, and that's the big summer feud.

 

[Wildcat66]

I think it's pretty obvious Harper wins this and sets up a Wyatt Family triple threat for the title. Not that Harper deserves the title match itself... but storyline-wise... it makes sense.

But Styles deserves a shot too...

Ah screw it, make it a five way then. Cena vs Styles vs Wyatt vs Harper vs Orton...

Ok fine, we'll add in Shane McMahon.

 

[Wildcat66]

Then Ryder gets jealous when he's back, and that's the big summer feud.

Zack Ryder: YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY BRO, BRO!

Mojo Rawley: I'M NOT YOUR BRO, BRO! I'M THE WWE CHAMPION BRO!

Zack Ryder: BRO, ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Mojo Rawley: BETTER GET HYPED BRO!

Zack Ryder: BROOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Mojo Rawley: BROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[The Life Of Pablo Ren]

YAY!!

 

[enviousdominous]

I think it's pretty obvious Harper wins this and sets up a Wyatt Family triple threat for the title. Not that Harper deserves the title match itself... but storyline-wise... it makes sense.

I hope they go that way.

AJ might still get that match against Shane.

John is likely to get Miz.

Baron is probably facing Dean.

Between Dolph, Apollo, Kalisto, Mojo and Luke; Luke Harper is the only person who could justifiably win the match.

 

[Navi]

That moonsault was a little awkward.

Mojo's gone man.

The prophecy of Alvin Kelvintubby will have to be competed some other day.
