What's with the music and announcer in the background? Are they doing dark matches during Talking Smack?

You really think it's a better idea to go on TV and talk about Mauro's health issues?

They record this during 205. The various sounds are the matches and breaks of 205.

Not necassariy. They could mention help lines or support groups or something. If someone was injured in another way they usually do.

You know, I kinda wish she was on commentary. She's a really great talker.

What? No they don't.
They just say "hey, he's hurt, he'll be back in a few months".
Mauro's situation is private. So much so that his doctors are keeping him off Twitter. Just let it be private.

She was okay, also it was a few years ago, she'll certainly do a better job now.

She's gotta be better than Otunga.

Of course, the discretion is up to Mauro obviously.
I don't know if attitudes are different elsewhere but on live broadcasts here, as one example a local newscaster missed a few weeks of TV here and all that was said was "unfortunately X is ill and won't be here for a few weeks, we hope he gets well soon. If you or anyone else you know ever needs help please call XXXX-XXXX" or whatever. That is a super common thing to do here.
Like I said though, it would obviously at the discretion of whoever it involves.

Because its on the pre-show for free they probably don't care. Also they had to establish what kind of match it was going to be.

So what kind of match is the women's match?

Cena calling Miz a pussy on live TV is on Dwayne Johnson levels of "like hell I'm getting fired".

I hope Corbin wins, get some actual consequences to Dean's insolence.
Undertaker has a tomb stone prepared for Roman after Roman threatened to 'put down' Taker.

Corbin's difference between Corbin's delivery of his stupid Dean promo and his Talking Smack bit was night and day. Guy always looks like a deer in the headlights when he's not talking to Bryan/Renee.

As someone who has watched him practice before going in front of a camera, the guy just isn't comfortable with a script.

So they did they utter the words six pack challenge because all I heard was still the entire division... chances still of a surprise or is that it?
ElRenoRaven

Yup. Just got to the end of that segment and I was laughing. I like Dean. Him and Corbin should be a decent match.

God, this interview with Kurt Angle reminds me of how much I miss Kurt Angle. I left wrestling before a lot of his best matches, too.
He seems like he just needs bullet points and not a script handed to him to memorize.

So I have a theory as to why the AJ/Shane match is just a "traditional match" as they called it and why there's so much emphasis on that. I think what will happen is this. AJ will beat Shane on Sunday because he's a better wrestler than Shane. They'll emphasize that. Then next Tuesday on SD, they'll send AJ out to gloat about it. Shane will come out and say that he's not good enough to beat AJ in a "traditional match", so he found someone that is. Nakamura debuts as rumored and we're off.
The best promo I saw him cut was on Aries in NXT, and that was off a bullet point list he had in his hands.
