Smackdown is a disaster right now. It's really telling how much WWE favors RAW when a few injuries completely destroy their depth... THeir main event picture has been wiped out, so now they need to get people from Raw. Their midcard champion is injured, so the challenger is feuding with a celebrity. Their Top Face in the women’s division is injured, leaving the champ with nothing to do. And a member of one of their top tag teams is injured. The injury bug has hit them on every level. You dont build new stars, you don't build contingency plans... shit's gonna bite you in the ass eventually.

SmackDown's like a perpetual Great American Bash 2006 right now.

The depth chart is looking very bottom-heavy…
Faces Kingston Boogs Cesaro Ricochet Viking Raiders Mansoor Gulak - Naomi Li (absent?) Aliyah (absent?)
Heels Reigns Usos Corbin/Moss Sheamus Zayn Los Lotharios Mahal/Shanky Ali (absent) Mace (absent) - Flair Baszler Natalya Shotzi
Your #2 singles babyface at this second is RICK BOOGS. That should’ve only happened on MERIT, not by default!

Yeah, he's been nursing a hand injury since after Survivor Series, apparently.

Feels like turning Sheamus face would do a world of good right now. Pretty overdue anyway honestly.

Gee. If only they hadn’t made so many talent cuts…

www.instagram.com/p/CY-N2JApCK0/Tommaso Ciampa's got a whopper case of elbow bursitis, so he'll probably need to take a bit of time off to get that cleaned out.

Besides Drew McIntyre and Sasha Banks, who else won't be at the Rumble due to injury?

So, even if the 5 of them were in the Rumbles they would still not be star-studded matches. This is another example that WWE released way too much talent.

Well, I mean, at the moment they've found room to publicly announce Dominik Mysterio, Madcap Moss, Angelo Dawkins and Robert Roode, but not Cesaro, Nakamura, Edge or Balor. The hand is weakened but they're deliberately weakening it further.

Speaking of weak hands, Nakamura’s been cleared to return from his hand injury.

NXT UK’s Blair Davenport suffered a pretty nasty ankle injury in a match against Meiko Satomura this week. Their women’s division actually being somewhat snakebit as that’s three major injuries in it right now.

It was heating up nicely as a match and they didn’t show the landing initially so I assumed it was part of the match, but when they showed the replay, yeah the human ankle isn’t meant to bend that way. I hope it’s not as bad as it looked initially but she was in a lot of pain. There’s Aoife Valkyrie and now Blair davenport. I’m blanking on who the third is.
