AJ in US title shot now?


😅😂😂😂😂😂😂 Blue

 

[Tagyhag]

This is so stupid and needlessly complex.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Why is AJ involved in this?

He can't challenge Orton for the belt til after Payback.

 

[Jerm411]

Why is AJ involved in this?

Right lol.

Who the hell are they pairing Nak with too???

 

[Tom Nook]

KO vs Jericho for SDL spot

 

[ReiGun]

So, I guess Kurt and Daniel drafted the titles and not the people holding them. Since KO v Jericho determines who actually goes to SDL.

All the more reason to want Jericho to win. Send Owens back to Raw.

 

[kirblar]

This is so stupid and needlessly complex.

Belt stays put, whoever wins of Jericho/Owens stays on Smackdown. (Obviously Owens.)

 

[Beefy]

Crowd cheering Randy...

 

[LiQuid!]

What did Bryan just book? I didn't catch it. It sounded like there's a chance someone's not going to be officially on SDL???

 

[somedevil]

Why is AJ involved in this?

Cause he is a face and Orton has the title and is facing Bray in that weird match.

 

[Hidden One]

Why the fuck is AJ styles in the mid card

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Smackdown is LIT

Fuck off, JBL.

 

[slabrock]

Right lol.

Who the hell are they pairing Nak with too???

Tyler Breeze

 

[Rimfya]

Tag Teams?

On MY SmackDown Live?

 

[Gaiaknight]

Why is AJ involved in this?

to have a big name in the match Zayn is either eating the pin from Corbin or Zayn is pinning Corbin AJ is way above the US title.

 

[TheStruggler]

Right lol.

Who the hell are they pairing Nak with too???

i honestly want them to start ba slowwww burn with this one and not throw it in our face right away have them randomly bump into each other now and then but slowly create the story and follow through

 

[blackaroni]

Erick Rowan and Orton? Yay?

 

[Pikma]

This is so stupid, there's basically no belts to fight for

 

[The Strokes]

I went out for a few seconds, what's this shit Bryan said? Is Owens not permanently staying in SD because of the US belt? I didn't catch that.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The dirt sheets have been taking Ls these last two days.

 

[TimeEffect]

Pretty damn great how Smackdown seems to have both the WWE title and US title on fire. Both feel so legit if they keep this up.

 

[ramoisdead]

I don't mind AJ in the US title picture.

AJ can get another title to put in his resume, I rather have AJ face Kevin Owens or Jericho (I know it's not Jericho) than Randy Orton, and already the US Title belt is getting much earned respect compared to the Intercontinental Title.

Smackdown stays winning.

 

[excelsiorlef]

What did Bryan just book? I didn't catch it. It sounded like there's a chance someone's not going to be officially on SDL???

AJ vs Corbin vs Zayn for #1 Contender for US belt after Payback

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Who cares if its the midcard, its Sami vs Styles, thats fucking dope

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

That SD Women's segment graphic made it look like Shane is fucking pissed at how the SD women look.

Queen Charlotte coming in now.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I went out for a few seconds, what's this shit Bryan said? Is Owens not permanently staying in SD because of the US belt? I didn't catch that.

The winner of the KO/Jericho match at Payback goes to SD.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Why the fuck is AJ styles in the mid card

Its probably just until the Orton shit ends.

 

[plagiarize]

It does make the timing of this weird what with Payback and the title situations. But i guess it gives them higher stakes and pretty much guarantees blow offs between Orton and Bray and KO and Jericho.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

We now have KO, AJ, Sami, and Nakamura on SD, and we're stuck with Randy Orton as champ.

Yep.

 

[RBH]

 

[cordy]

Styles got put back in the midcard...and it ain't gonna be Corbin here since he's a heel, can't have 2 heels go against each other like this. I'm guessing Styles or Zayn wins and honestly I'm sick of Owens/Zayn.

But LitDown Live stays fucking lit homies!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tagyhag]

I'm all for elevating the belts I guess.

And since AJ can't go for the WWE championship until later, it's better than not having him do nothing.

But fuck man, Orton as the champion, ugh. Can't argue that he's not over at least, dude always gets pops somehow.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

AJ won't even be involved in the finish of this match.

 

[MG310]

I went out for a few seconds, what's this shit Bryan said? Is Owens not permanently staying in SD because of the US belt? I didn't catch that.

No matter what the belt stays on Smackdown - so if Jericho beats Owens Jericho comes to SD

 

[The Strokes]

Why the fuck is AJ styles in the mid card

I assume because Orton is stuck with that title match vs Bray and they're still figuring shit out.

 

[orioto]

An AJ/owens feud for the us title is going to give so much motys it's not even funny

Also Owens looks like a bank employee without a beard.

 

[Anth0ny]

piece of shit got booed

 

[LiQuid!]

AJ vs Corbin vs Zayn for #1 Contender for US belt after Payback

I got that, but it sounded like he was saying someone would be "officially on SDL" does that mean someone isn't officially on Smackdown yet?? I couldn't make out what he said.

 

[DMczaf]

HEY!

Dave HAND WROTE THOSE OBSERVERS BACK IN THE DAY!

Fuck you Lust Hogan!

 

[Dark Ninja]

Why the fuck is AJ styles in the mid card

Orton and Bray already happening at Payback. They have to wait for that shiet to end or Brock is coming to Smackdown.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

They need to get the belt off of Orton as soon as possible.

 

[RBH]

 

[SallyIsNow]

I went out for a few seconds, what's this shit Bryan said? Is Owens not permanently staying in SD because of the US belt? I didn't catch that.

AJ, Nak, and Owens are moved to RAW if SD goes over 2 hours tonight.

 

[cordy]

I'm all for elevating the belts I guess.

And since AJ can't go for the WWE championship until later, it's better than not having him do nothing.

But fuck man, Orton as the champion, ugh. Can't argue that he's not over at least, dude always gets pops somehow.

This is the same thing Ambrose did and yet dudes actually thought Ambrose was being thrusted back into the midcard. Main eventers go for midcard belts every once in a while (Reigns, Ambrose) just so they don't clog up the main event. Styles would do well as champ.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Why the fuck is AJ styles in the mid card

Because this is going to elevate the secondary title hopefully closer to were it used to be back in the day.

And AJ is not fighting fir the WWE title right now and can't until at least after Payback

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Ugh. So if these folks are the ones going to Smackdown then Smackdown lost big. Only one of them is worth giving a shit about besides KO and Sami

Backstage at smackdown besides KO and Sami are:

Spoiler

Alicia Fox

Charlotte Flair

The Shining Stars

Sin Cara

 

[Skatterd]

I went out for a few seconds, what's this shit Bryan said? Is Owens not permanently staying in SD because of the US belt? I didn't catch that.

Whoever wins is staying, him or Jericho

It's likely him since Fozzy is touring in May

 

[sf2fanatic]

Shooter!!!!!!

 

[ramoisdead]

You marks complaining AJ stuck in midcard scene going for a midcard belt.

Dean with the Intercontinental Title is a midcard belt. Already 15 minutes in and the US belt feels more legitimized.

 

[somedevil]

They need to get the belt off of Orton as soon as possible.

Someone brought up that he will lose the title to Bray and Brock goes to Smackdown. If that happens then the US title is the highest belt being defended.
