Jeremy Lambert's Smackdown Notes

• They are totally turning Alexa tonight, right?
• Big E rules
• They should turn Miz and Morrison into Troy and Abed. Maybe that's what they're going for and they're just very bad at it.
• So is Braun dead or no?
• It's almost like Gran Metalik is good.
• AJ Styles. Known for being very good.
• I like that AJ's counters are just "Nah, you aint doing this."
• People complaining about crowd noise have not watched sports being back.
• The Intercontinental Title is the top belt on SmackDown.
• Matt Riddle put over Chad Gable huge on After The Bell and said he really wanted to work with him. Please credit me for this scoop.
• BAR FIGHT!!!! REPLAY THE ENTIRE BAR FIGHT, YOU COWARDS!!!
• Did we ever find out how Jeff got his face painted? Was there a tiny mouse under that hat who is very good at painting? Sounds like a Disney movie waiting to happen.
• Do they have any other plans for Jeff other than just remind everyone that he used to be an addict?
• Listen to that HEAT King Corbin is getting
• Why don't they mention EVOLVE and Catch Point? They own EVOLVE now.
• At least Gable has some motivation that he wants money and opportunity. Gable vs. Riddle is going to rule.
• While turning Gable makes little sense -- remember when he was with New Day? -- I hope this leads to actual opportunities for Gable to shine in promo/entertainment segments alongside Corbin. He's super charismatic and you'd never know it because WWE can only tell you that he's short.
• AH! YOU MISSED! YOU'RE GONNA FAIL!
• Miz is a very good first opponent for Big E on this singles run because of his championship history and also being easy to beat. The Dolph Ziggler of SmackDown.
• Oh damn. That put Big E over STRONG! Even had a submission victory. Keep this up.
• Glad Big E is chirping at Graves after the match.
• Why are they using Lince/Metalik for this segment after AJ destroyed them earlier? This is really about the lack of tag team because Lucha House Party will probably be the next challengers.
• Hey everyone, Jeff is still an addict.
• 'the 1' came on as Lacey Evans entered. This song doesn't fit her entrance for anyone wondering.
• Lacey is like actually good in her role but people don't like her because WWE likes her.
• Lacey Yano
• Toru Evans?
• Oh boy, that looked rough.
• Naomi won a quick and sloppy match that did no one any favors but she won so WWE will be like "THERE YA GO!"
• Back to folklore.
• Who stole Otis' briefcase?
• WWE hates women who are just trying to put on lipstick.
• Sonya is about to go all Sweeney Todd on Mandy.
• AHHHHHAHA SONYA THREATENING THESE FOOLS WITH AN ELECTRIC RAZOR!
• Okay, Miz and Morrison are definitely trying to be Troy and Abed.
• Didn't need comedy after a serious segment.
• 'invisible string' works as a theme song for Bayley.
• They just gave up calling it The Horror Show at Extreme Rules after the event.
• Bayley taunting SummerSlam opponent Michael Cole
• I feel like a live crowd would be going crazy for this match. Great blend of action, storytelling, and drama.
• A CLEAN FINISH!
• Oh, we are doing this.
• Right now.
• It's happening.
• Alexa took the same bump I took on The Distraction.
• Oh. Holy shit. We're doing something completely different.
• This rules
• Seth Rollins was more scared of The Fiend than Alexa.
