Kane and The Undertaker vs. Heidenreich and Snitsky -- that'll put butts in the seats.

Kane is a draw.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Old ass marks with the nWo shirt

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Shane testing who the heels and faces are.

 

[TheStruggler]

what is this strange feeling I get before smackdown.....oh ya excitement!

 

[somedevil]

I am just imagining if shane was this in shape during his first run what would be different.

Kane and The Undertaker vs. Heidenreich and Snitsky -- that'll put butts in the seats.

Passing of the torch, except they came to their senses.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Shane's going into the elimination chamber, isn't he

 

[RBH]

Those cool dudes in the front row with the nWo shirts 😎

 

[Bluekaveli]

Shane should've said Roman just so we could laugh.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Not watching Raw then watching SD feels so good. It feels fresh.

 

[ramoisdead]

Elimination Chamber for the WWE Championship.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Shane's going into the elimination chamber, isn't he

How else are they setting up Shane vs AJ for Mania?

 

[TimeEffect]

shit, AJ winning the EC would be a great notch under his belt

 

[British Monsoon]

Oh, ROH...

http://www.pwtorch.com/site/2017/01...ct-update-roh-free-agency-wradicans-analysis/

"Keith Lee announced on Twitter this past weekend that he has signed with EVOLVE. Lee had been under a non-exclusive deal that recently expired. EVOLVE quickly announced that he will face Chris Hero in one of his final EVOLVE matches on Jan. 27 in San Antonio during Royal Rumble weekend."

"ROH management reportedly dragged their feet when it came to moving negotiations towards a close. One source noted that ROH booker Hunter Johnston expects things to fall into place and is never proactive when it comes to negotiating new deals. According to sources, Johnston was advised not to put over Taylor & Lee strong at the ROH TV tapings given Lee’s tenuous status with the company, but he did anyway."

"EVOLVE management was thrilled to sign Lee, who they see as a potential star on the indie scene in 2017. ROH management wasn’t as high on Lee as EVOLVE is. According to sources familiar with ROH managements thinking, they see Shane Taylor as more “TV ready” than Keith Lee."

fucking lol. Also, article confirms ROH's deals now ban talent from working for FloSlam promotions, even Beyond who only had one event streaming on FloSlam and don't have an ongoing deal with them. Meanwhile, as many of the best talents on the US scene sign with EVOLVE, ROH are mainly signing guys who they can sucker into paying for a $300 seminar with Brutal Bob. So, no one of note particularly. I guess they can always plug the gap with talent from Europe, once WWE, ITV, WCPW & 5* have had their pick of the crop.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Sami, Cesaro, Ambrose, AJ, Miz, Joe

Good Elimination Chamber!

 

[ramoisdead]

AJ gonna CM Punk the title, this time take it to Japan.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Sami, Cesaro, Ambrose, AJ, Miz, Joe

Good Elimination Chamber!

I could see the last four and then Cena plus maybe Corbin since it's Smackdown only and Joe with luck goes there.

 

[TheStruggler]

....I wouldn't mind that AJ, he put on some of his best work their. Plus the bullet club werent little bitches

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol at cena dancing to john cena sucks chants. He'd be such a great heel.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

How else are they setting up Shane vs AJ for Mania?

No mas!

 

[Bluekaveli]

Sami, Cesaro, Ambrose, AJ, Miz, Joe

Good Elimination Chamber!

Riiiiiiiiiiiight

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

I love what Smackdown has become, but we don't need another authority verses top star angle. I don't want to see Shane wrestle ever again, much less at Wrestlemania.

 

[TheStruggler]

lol at cena dancing to john cena sucks chants. He'd be such a great heel.

if only....sigh the turn that'll never happen

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

AJ gonna CM Punk the title, this time take it to Japan.

Didn't he do this in TNA in a bad rip off the Punk storyline?

 

[Keyser Soze]

I wish Sami and Cesaro still wrestled. I have no idea why Smackdown wont sign those free agents.

 

[kirblar]

I love what Smackdown has become, but we don't need another authority verses top star angle. I don't want to see Shane wrestle ever again, much less at Wrestlemania.

That's not really what this is, it's just AJ being a whiny heel who doesn't want to do what a billion other champs had to.

 

[Guzim]

That's how you know AJ is over because the crowd doesn't chant Cena sucks.

 

[TheStruggler]

lmao fucking aj

 

[Barrage]

Pretty hot crowd mang. Cena really is such a great character to bounce off of.

 

[ramoisdead]

AJ is continuing his best promo work.

Keep the title on AJ throughout 2017 as well.

 

[galvatron]

Is this finally the double turn that the world deserves?

AJ spitting truth

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I smell a tag team match

 

[Keyser Soze]

I could see Joe coming out now... I also wish it to happen

 

[Bluekaveli]

That sign sdl > raw

 

[giancarlo123x]

I fucking wish aj never had to drop the title or smashed the record for longest time held. He deserves it so much.

 

[SallyIsNow]

AJ should break Punk's record.

 

[Hex]

My my Maryse.....mah god

 

[TimeEffect]

Damn if EC is after RR then Cena is likely champ right?

Are we expecting Cena to win?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

OMG that triple H poster. YES.

 

[RBH]

AJ should break Punk's record.

.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Oh my lord Miz

 

[UberTag]

if only....sigh the turn that'll never happen

Damn if EC is after RR then Cena is likely champ right?

Are we expecting Cena to win?

Yes. Why wouldn't we? It's Mania season.

 

[Hidden One]

AJ should break Punk's record.

No.

 

[Barrage]

This should scare everyone away from a Styles face turn.

Miz is coming off as a megastar.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Smackdown, thank you for not forgetting The Miz.

Set him up to be in the championship scene even if he doesn't win it.

 

[The Main Event]

Miz da God

 

[ramoisdead]

Miz and AJ trading barbs and John Cena staying silent. Smackdown Live is great.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Lmao my girlfriend loves the soccer mom hair jokes so I can't wait to share that with her.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Lmao Miz is amazing.

 

[spindashing]

But Miz and AJ were cool
