Dolfan in NYC Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Next Smackdown PPV is in two weeks. Starting this now because of the amazing poster WWE has made for it: Announced matches: For the WWE World Championship: AJ Styles (c) vs. John Cena vs. Dean Ambrose For the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Alexa Bliss For the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship: Rhyno/Slater (c) vs. The Usos 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 As much as I hate The Miz and don't even care about Maryse, although she is great eye candy; that poster is a great Calvin Klein knock off. I hope Slater & Rhyno aren't dropping the titles yet. Hopefully, they hold on due to interference from American Alpha. Add more hatred to the AA/Usos feud.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I wonder if Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" was playing the background. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'm surprised Slater & Rhyno still have the titles.... I figured their title run would last two days and end at the first Smackdown after the PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured their title run would last two days and end at the first Smackdown after the PPV. With how over Slater got himself, and how well he and Rhyno ended up working together, both in ring and the skits together, that would have been the worst thing that could have happened. I should also mention how over Rhyno still is. I guess ECW nostalgia will never truly die, but the GORE chants and when he hits the gore would make you think he didn't just return to WWE TV last year. I'm sure there's a good portion of the roster that wishes they were as over as Rhyno still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 They just started with the brand specifc PPVs and it already feels like complete overkill to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I bet we see Carmella vs Nikki in a no DQ match added and maybe Corbin vs Swagger. And there is no way Orton vs Bray isnt added. I don't wanna see Mixz vs Swagger 3 but who else faces miz/ Kane? No thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt788 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Miz is such a smug asshole in that poster. The man's heel game is legendary lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That steel cage should be surrounded by fire because another Miz/Dolph match is like the seventh circle of wrestling hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Even though they're boring, I wonder why they've never done an Inferno match with a Hell in a Cell over it? It'd look cool and fit with the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Smackdown's poster game is on point with their booking. I'm really sick of WWE multi man matches, but this one has AJ Styles in it so it should at least be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I thought No Mercy was like maybe middle of the month. Two weeks is way too soon for it. I wonder how long this PPV pace is going to keep up. I remember last year I said they should just do a SNME once a month from house shows on the road. It couldn't be that expensive to use a bare minimum set. This has to be way more expensive trucking all this production. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single brand PPV's should be one a month, alternating like they used to be. Backlash was Smackdown Live's in September so for me Hell in a Cell PPV is RAW only in October.

Matt D Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm generally okay with this so long as they pace them as well as the last SD one. It's not like we're paying more for them or anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Yeah, I don't get it either. If they were charging $40 or $50 for each like with the first split, sure. If you have the network, what's the deal? You aren't forced to watch it live even. Skip the stuff you deem to be unworthy of your time if that's the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Remember that Natural is in the UK and thus has to decide whether or not to stay up all night or potentially get spoiled. But in general, yeah, the point stands. It's WWE. They've been putting on PPVs for the last few years where they don't work out half the card until the last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would feel this way too but if you view them as completely separate brands which they are right now, for SD! there's I believe four weeks of build from Backlash to No Mercy and then quite a while until Survivor Series. I think the real issue will be TLC (only two weeks after SS) but I imagine that will be mostly rematches/blow offs before they head into the new year.

RIPPA Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 For what it is worth - there is talk that Ziggler's current deal is up soon and while they have been talking about an extension, Ziggler has in the past, hemmed and hawed before re-signing. So it is possible that is playing into this too. I mean I am almost positive he wins and ruins the IC title but ya never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all these PPVs, there's no reason to not have Survivor Series be all traditional survivor matches to not have to blow through singles matches. It would be pretty easy to fill out a TLC card from things happening in 2/3 elimination tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
