Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

yeah it looked like there was maybe 1100 people for tv, slightly less than the ppv. orleans was an interesting challenge but i dont think vegas was the right market for them, or at least this wasnt the right size venue yet. orleans seats about 8k.

At this point you might as well just take a wild guess that Jericho could show up out of nowhere at any given event

Former WWE and WWE World Champion Rey Mysterio is currently slated to return to WWE at the Smackdown 1000 broadcast from Washington, DC, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.

The arena website for Smackdown 1000 is now advertising two main events for the show.

- AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan vs Samoa Joe and The Miz
- Becky Lynch and The IIconics vs Charlotte Flair, Asuka, and Naomi.

Dunno. I can see the women's match being aired. Because WWE loves their 6 woman tag matches. And Becky and the IIconics are likely winning at Super Showdown. I imagine if that's the case, WWE will be having the babyfaces win on Smackdown 1000.

Anything advertised by the venue for a TV taping is always a dark match. They don't get the cards ahead of time.

While I wouldn't be shocked if you are correct about this situation, the venues do sometimes get some of the matches in advance. The website was just updated this morning. And the Smoothie King website was advertising Charlotte Flair vs Carmella (for the title) on the Smackdown after Wrestlemania 34 as well, and it was updated a day before Wrestlemania with that announcement.

You also have to factor in that WWE never has two dark matches in a row. And they are going to want to fit as much as possible onto the SD 1000 show, which is still only two hours, I think. Them doing a six woman tag match that falls after Super Showdown isn't exactly unexpected and makes sense from a booking perspective, since all of the Smackdown women at Super Showdown are involved in said tag match.

They frequently advertise 2 dark matches for Smackdown actually.

They used to do one before and after, I assume that's changed with 205 Live taping.

They even did the rare one where both were big matches in that format earlier this year when it came to MA. I was there, Carmella retained over Becky before the show started, Styles/Nak went to no contest after the show ended

For Montreal they advertised Bryan/Nakamura, and some kind of multi-woman match for the title. But then they were running Becky/Charlotte/Asuka vs. Carmella/IIconics on TV, so that second match didn't happen.

Rusev Day vs. The Usos ended up being the opening dark match instead.

Apparently the one line that has some chatter surrounding it is the Ronda/Bellas vs Riott Squad betting lines. The Riott Squad have been improving all day, probably because of the Nikki vs Ronda at Evolution rumors. People figure that angle is going to get started at SSD.

PWInsider is reporting the following names will be at WWE Evolution:

Bianca Belair

Io Shirai

Jessamyn Duke

Candice LaRae

Dakota Kai

Marina Shafir

I would guess that Jessamyn and Marina are either there to start the 4HW vs 4HW feud or screw Kairi out of the title. ESPECIALLY since Vince is running the show.

More names announced for Evolution, per PWInsider:

quote:

Add Lacey Evans, Mia Yim, Rhea Ripley and Kacy Catanzo to the list of WWE NXT talents who will be at the 10/28 WWE Evolution PPV in Long Island, NY. There is no word yet on what their role, if any, will be at the show. As we reported yesterday, Bianca Belair, Io Shirai, Jessamyn Duke, Candice LaRae, Dakota Kai and Marina Shafir are also slated to be at the PPV. With so many NXT talents scheduled, I have to wonder if they are doing a Battle Royal on the undercard of the show.

I feel like there's been a LOT of "we're making progress" women's Battle Royals the last year to the point where a 2nd Women's Royal Rumble feels kind of like "another TLC/Hell In a Cell/Ultimate X/Whatever."
