**Official Smackdown LIVE Thread 7/26/15** - #NewEra

[SquirtlePower]

Welcome gents and gents to the first smackdown thread of the #NewEra, post WWE draft, post Battleground and were once again LIVE!

-The dude is STILL WWE champion, who does he feud with at Summerfest?
-Hopefully AJ Styles continues to beat up John Cena without "The Club"
-Miz is STILL IC champion and should have something for Summerslam also I would think
-Will the no enhancement needed king of Viperville strike someone else down tonight?
-Where do the Smackdown womens and tag division go from here with no titles?
-Raw is making a new title, will Smackdown follow with a new womens and tag titles?
-I would assume the debut of American Alpha
-Will Bray look to recruit someone else for the Wyatt Family?


What are everyone's thoughts going into Smackdown tonight? After the shake up and change in Raw it's hard to think about what could happen tonight. It seems to been made almost clear that championships are exclusive to the shows so Smackdown has to create new titles. That's the most interesting thing for me tonight.

[Miz-Zou]

Definitely in to see how they'll try and attempt to top Raw...especially with the women's division. Think they'll probably take an L this week for that segment.

[SpartacusNYC]

We're eatin' good this week

Bruh, it's 2016

[anonymous]

i'm going to see radiohead tonight, so no smackdown for me
but.....very curious as to who is gonna end up the number one contender. Dean needs an opponent for summerslam. Balor/Rollins is obviously gonna be hnnnggg and will close the show though.

maybe miz title for title?
bray?

[SuperHippo]

[Land Shark]

In for the Phenomenal One and El Patron

Also the creation of a blue brand tag titles and women's title

Tonight's WWE Smackdown LIVE comes to us from the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York. We will present live coverage beginning at 8pm EST tonight. WWE talents advertised for the show include WWE Champion Dean Ambrose, John Cena, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, AJ Styles plus RAW Superstars Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.

As of this writing there are zero matches announced, but WWE is focusing on the following points:

* How will Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan maintain SmackDown's success?

* Who will come after the WWE Title on SmackDown Live?

* Will chaos create cash for SmackDown Live with stars like Randy Orton, Kane and Baron Corbin?

* American Alpha, Alexa Bliss, Mojo Rawley and Carmella are coming to SmackDown

* Will Superstars like Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, Zack Ryder and Kalisto reaffirm that SmackDown is their house?

I'm really curious as to who challenges Ambrose for the title since Cena/AJ are feuding and Brock/Orton are doing their thing. Who the hell is left that is credible?

IMO, they should insert Dean into the Cena and AJ program

But I suspect we're getting...

[boody22]

In!! I'm excited to see if they can match or out-do RAW last night. Finn going over and Sasha winning made my night so let's hope Shane O'Mac and D-Bry deliver for their show

[Sweeuxj]

[SquirtlePower]

[MikeTheOne]

In for dat Bliss booty.

[SuperHippo]

Im glad they kept the traditional commentating position on at least one of the shows

[JustJones]

Gotta bring the tag titles at least. Whats the point of being a tag team on the show if they don't have a title.

[Deathstroke]

1 or 2 hours?

[Deathstroke]

Sorry, got mixed up while reading you guys conversation....but I meant is SD! Live 2 hours still or did they add a 3rd?

[Thai_Clinch]

waiting patiently.

[JustJones]

1 or 2 hours?

Half hour.

:edit, ah, still two hour show

[Deathstroke]

SD! I get is the underdog but if it's a success I hope it goes 3, both should be given the same amount of time.
