I could see what was planned for smackdown be rescheduled for next week or at Payback (even if it has to take place during the kickoff show)

I wonder if they'll just do what they did with Benoit and just cancel the show (and offer refunds for ticket holders) and just show matches. Benoit's death was first reported literal hours before Raw was supposed to air. Even without the whole "murder" thing, it's a completely different circumstance. I'd think it would be more in line with Eddie and Owen, when enough time has passed to process what happened but no one is exactly in the right mindset to tape a regular episode. So tribute show to Bray.

I'm saying this now because it's almost guaranteed, but someone brought it up on a YouTube post and now I'm dreading it
The moment they pull out "He's Got The Whole World in His Hands", I'm going to be crying worst than a Pixar Movie Death (I'll Never Forget You Bing Bong)

Being reported that Cody and Braun flew out for Smackdown tonight. No word if Braun's gonna be on camera, I'd imagine so with him flying out, even if it's just a backstage tribute.
Wouldn't be shocked to see an Alexa video paying tribute to Bray, whether it's tonight or Monday.

It's fairly easy to do at the last minute with no crew.

I really want to watch this, but since they stopped the FOX Now app I don't have an easy free way to.
Stupid TV's don't have built in antennas so I can't watch OTA without running out and buying one.
Maybe I'll do a free trial of Youtube TV or something.

So the SD preview has removed the Jimmy Uso appearance. Makes sense , save the story heavy feud to continue next week and just do matches to fill in time between all talents speaking and video tributes to Bray.

From Boozer on Twitter:
βTribute for both Terry and Bray. Show will go on. There will be tributes through out, from match types to promos. Emotional night as we have lost two great names this industry have ever witnessed.β

ugh, I'm going to be a mess watching this. Not sure what I'll have to say (I'm pretty sure my Twitter followers are going to send a search party out soon) but I'll be here during the show as well.

It feels particularly galling that wrestling has so many known sods yet this summer we've lost a number of wrestlers in quick succession who were widely loved and known to be decent human beings.

Tonight's show will not have a ratings poll, much like Brodie's tribute show, it will simply be a discussion where everyone can express their thoughts about it, it will simply have N/A next to its averaged out result and date
These shows are not fair to put a number on, and it will not be happening tonight as well, as we mourn the loss of a man who impacted so many lives in and out of the ring.

I'll put up the closest house show pics I have of him, on Twitter. Ironically, some of my favorite, since my husband (bf at the time), was in awe of the entrance.

I haven't done any live thread in weeks, but I'll be here for this one. Same. I do contribute the the smack down and PLE threads more than some other shows but I watched raw and NXT live for two weeks, but yes this smack down I intend to watch live. Iβve all them recorded which is grand but I think this is more than worthy of staying up for.

I'm watching some of Bray's biggest/best matches on Peacock right now. Watched the Wyatt Family debut on Raw, the Ring of Fire match, the six man with The Shield at Elimination Chamber, the Cena match at WrestleMania 30, and now I'm up to the Daniel Bryan match at the Royal Rumble.

Pretty shocked they're having matches tonight. I don't see anything wrong with it but I didn't expect that and I can't imagine trying to perform so soon after. They're strong ass mf's for pulling through, I'll say that much because I'm still over here just blankly watching old matches and eating junk food.
