WWE Smackdown May Thread

[Majingir]

MITB month is here, what might happen on SD over these next few weeks?

Michael Cole just said that both the Men's & Women's MITB Matches will be happening AT THE SAME TIME. That sounds like a big cluster waiting to happen.

Enjoyed seeing Mandy Rose on Smackdown. She continues to get development and airtime. Sonya has been a highlight too with her promos. I dont see Mandy winning the MitB but her being in the match is cool. As well as Otis winning his way into the MitB match against Ziggler in the main event. Never thought I would say that. Daniel Bryan's promo to open the show was good too. His match against Corbin was fine. The Stroman/Wyatt feud is going good so far too. Everything else was just whatever to me. Although it sounds like Sheamus wants a piece of a returning Jeff Hardy. Thats a fresh feud if it is going to happen.

Since Bray is fighting Braun, not The Fiend it seems Braun will retain on Sunday. While I'm enjoying the feud, I wish they didn't rush into it. If they had stuck with Nakamura getting the first title shot, would have been good.

So the hacker first revealed Sonya's plan and the eventual split between Sonya & Mandy. Now the Hacker(s) played back the footage of Mania where Bayley allowed Lacey to pin Sasha and did nothing to save her. That would be two Women Tag Teams being targeted by the hackers. Interesting.

WWE has announced that Sami Zayn is unable to defend the Intercontinental Championship and the title has been declared Vacant. A tournament to determine a new Champion will begin this Friday on Smackdown.

Official Bracket for the IC Championship Tournament.

Miz & Morrison vs Otis and a mystery partner in the main event tonight. Perhaps Braun?

Charlotte on SD too? We get why Charlotte is appearing on RAW & SD, "hey don't watch that other show on TNT. Look here's Charlotte Flair!"

I was excited that Charlotte was going to be on NXT, and just NXT as it would have been something different for her to do. She's done it all on the main roster, so going back to NXT was a chance to freshen her character up. At the same time, she took away spotlight and wins from other talent who needed it more. I'd figure with her going back to NXT, this means other Women on RAW & SD have a chance to shine for a bit. Guess not as she still needs that precious TV time on RAW & SD, again taking away time that could be used for other Women in the division.
