SD's going to be doing more of that picture-in-picture stuff where the matches are still shown while ads play on the rest of the screen

PWInsider posted:

NBC Universal will be using picture-in-picture commercial breaks to show more Smackdown action while advertisements run in a picture on picture format. USA did this several times following the Brand Split in the summer of 2016.

Enzo & Cass loving suck and I wish they'd go away forever

I'm glad they're never going to have a tag title reign, at least

This is all filler until next year's Shake Up where Cass goes to SD and wins the world title

it would not surprise me at all if the reason was seriously "bayley's elbow drop is a macho man tribute, so it matters more"

Wasn't this why when Punk was doing it as a signature, nobody else was allowed to do it at the same time

Yes, I'm sure there's truth to a rumour that someone in this thread literally admitted to making up and sending to Meltzer.

It took years but we finally found the one poster who takes Cavauro's posts seriously

Remember when Dolph cashed in on Del Rio and everyone went nuts?

How much title changes ever happened on TV at that point

Also it was off of champ Del Rio, which I can easily believe was a thing people were sick of at any point

Jericho was on Busted Open radio. Highlights:

He was originally supposed to win the Universal title at Mania,
then lose it to Brock at Payback
He pitched a Mania match with Nakamura after that fell through
He thinks a way to fix the cruiserweight division is adding Enzo to the roster and having him feud with Neville

Mahal spoke with Sportskeeda after winning and told them he didn’t find out until Sunday that he’d be taking home the title. When asked about McMahon’s reaction he said, “Vince was very happy. He was really proud of me because Vince knows how much work I’ve put in.”

Adding, “And, I told Vince, ‘Hey Vince, my goal is to come back every week and improve. Every time you see me perform I’m going to get better on the mic, going to get better in the ring and I’ll be in better shape every week.'”

is the 13th a sunday? why are they announcing matches for a smackdown weeks from now

It's a Tuesday, and it's the last live event at New Orleans before Mania, so they'll be trying to both make the show a big deal and hype up Mania tickets

It'll sell of course, but they always try to stack up the last shows in the area before the show to get people hype
