jokes on you they have a foot fetish
Hopefully yes... but most likely this just an opening promo and the tag team match is later.

I miss how Nakamura's name would splash across the screen during the violin drop.

By WWE logic, this means the babyfaces win the main event.
Glad to see Shelton made it out of Houston.

Ziggler is everyone's first feud.
Then they graduate to face someone more important.
Like those losers Baron Corbin and Rusev.
Here's a spoiler... Nak vs. AJ Styles is going to be given away on a random Smackdown, too.

Wtf no benjamin theme
Like 80% of their income comes from their TV deals, they have far more motivation to get their ratings up then they do to sell network subs.

I understand why they do it, but they should give more notice and hype.
Like NXT gives lead of two weeks on most of their big important matches.

When you give away "dream matches" on TV without advertising them in advance, you don't get a ratings spike from them.
That needs to be a crowd chant during Jinder promos.
"DRINK SOME WATER!"

I miss Jim Johnston.
It's like CFO makes like 1 good theme to 10 bad.

I would love if Shelton just turned and destroyed Gable after one match.

They really brought benjamin back to give him a shitty tag team theme
Remember that this is WWE making these decisions.
"Hey, we should do big stuff on TV" is as far as their foresight goes.
I for one don't miss *generic butt rock riff #643* from johnston

Jim Johnston had his fair share of misses too. CFO$ crank out way more themes though, so their miss rate probably seems higher than it is.

Kind of expecting that, or maybe just hoping for it

Did I miss something? I thought it was a tag tonight with Nak & Orton vs Jinder and Rusev? I looked away a bit at the end of them getting beat down but has Nak vs Orton been announced?

It looks like it may head that way. Shelton's been acting a bit arrogant teaming with Gable in this match.
And I don't mind if Shelton turns heel on Gable. It'll be a good program between the two.

yep for next week on smackdown winner gets a wwe championship match

I don't think it's nak vs orton tonight I may be wrong but the whole point of the promo was nak/orton vs rusev/mahal
oh

I think that's the problem. They probably have hundreds of in progress tracks that haven't gotten the full treatment, and WWE asks for something asap, like the awful Big Cass theme, which was changed a few weeks later, or Jason Jordan's theme.

I love the Jim Johnston classics but either the dude was out of juice or phoning it in from the end of the attitude era onwards, CFO$ may be a mixed bag (there is some generic ass buttrock galore) but he's actually brought back identifiable themes for numerous wrestlers, to the point that the crowd will even sing along to the best ones.
Which is to say while JJ was better, I don't really want him back now, the last 15 years worked against him.
