Dolph Zigger to face Baron Corbin tonight on SmackDown LIVE in a battle with WWE Fastlane implications
Tonight, Dolph Ziggler returns to SmackDown LIVE for the first time in seven weeks. By the end of the night, The Showoff could be walking right into a WWE Championship opportunity. SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon revealed on Twitter Thursday morning that the winner of the battle between Ziggler and Baron Corbin will be added to the WWE Championship Match at WWE Fastlane. That means that AJ Styles will have to defend his title against Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and the winner of this showdown.

Charlotte Flair continues her quest for payback against The Riott Squad
Last week on SmackDown LIVE, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair defeated The Riott Squad’s Liv Morgan, then made a bold claim: “One down, two to go.” The Queen’s quest for payback continues this week when she faces Sarah Logan.

Bobby Roode issues a United States Open Challenge
The Glorious One, who ranked No. 5 in the first-ever SmackDown LIVE Top 10 List, is determined to prove he’s a fighting United States Champion and possibly move up in the rankings. Tonight on SmackDown, Bobby Roode will aim to do that when he issues a United States Open Challenge.

The New Day take on Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin
Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin have made it clear that they are on a mission to rid SmackDown LIVE of any team that doesn’t take competition seriously. After picking up wins over SmackDown’s resident sleuths Breezango and their best pals, The Ascension, the mat-wrestling masters are aiming their sights at one of the most successful tag teams in history: The New Day.

There was some concern that people might start taking them seriously as a potential threat, so they're doing everything they can to fix that.

They straight up said,"Placement on the list will lead to title opportunities" and then put the WWE Champion, Women's Champion, US Champion and Tag Team Champions on it.

Edit: Bobby Roode is even having an Open Challenge for the US Title tonight, rather than somebody on the list getting the shot!

Greetings, fellow SmackDown Live viewers! I just got in; that was a fun match between Baron "The Lone Wolf" Corbin and Kevin "KO" Owens!

Then my brain takes a step back from the in-ring work and realizes it's merely a cog in an endless leviathan of an overbooked story that makes 1998 nWo seem like streamlined booking! Kill me.

The match WAS good in isolation, true, and I at least enjoyed it for that.

lol I just remembered that Orton/Jinder main evented 3 straight PPVs. No wonder no one's going to those things.

Then after Jinder won all of them in EXACTLY the same way... they had a random non-title match on Smackdown and Orton just straight up beat him no ifs, ands or buts and it was never mentioned again.

So I don't care about Rhonda Rousey and I never cared about her even during her MMA days. Am I right for feeling this way? Or am I missing something?

She was amazing in UFC though she had plenty of detractors, but she and especially her coach completely blew it in her fight against Holly Holm, and her comeback fight was pathetic and did a lot of damage to her perception as a monster asskicker.

The bigger issue is that UFC has failed to really have anybody step into place as the dominant female fighter since then (lol Cyborg) so there is still a lot of interest in Rousey, simply because once she was gone nobody else came along to make people forget her.

I have my doubts we'd see it happen but their plan is sound: price lower than meat and produce new meats with richer flavors than you can get from real meat. They hope to basically outperform and wipe out real meat within 20 years and hell I hope so! They got most current major meats figured out flavor-wise and cook-wise such that it cooks the same as real meat. It was the most exciting thing I worked on in a while and made me believe in hope a little bit more.

You were involved? That's awesome and you're good people :)
