Oh, cool, I see Itami's taken up using the What The Hell Was That.

Was either that or Roll of the Dice.

I think we are almost due for someone taking up the Overdrive.

Is Cedric supposed to be turning heel? He's working that way in this match and his promo during his entrance had a cocky air about it.

I was really hoping the flatliner was his new finisher because honestly for some reason I just don't at all like the Lumbar Check.

I think he's been coming off as somewhat heelish for a while, like the original plan was going to be Cedric costing Swann the title.

Man, they didn't have shit for this show.

Really glad to see these two've managed to wake the crowd up a little bit. Been a really fun match.

Also, good on the crowd here for no audible Enzo chants the whole time. I honestly expected something, even if the rest of the crowd started booing it out.

Um...

So what happened to Bryan showing up and announcing a GM? We just forget all about that?

That 205 Live really reminded me of the post-Benoit ECW. I remember seeing certain guys on that show - Punk, Cena, Roddy Piper - having to physically force themselves to stay in character. I saw the saw the same exact look on the faces of Jack Gallagher, Mustafa Ali and especially Cedric and Gulak tonight.

Speculation on who the GM will be, I'm gonna guess Rockstar Spud. He was supposed to be part of the roster for a while now, and it seems like the role that would make the most sense for him.

[AlexaBliss4Life]

For all that are curious, Jinder only had one Singh with him because Samir tore his ACL. Nobody's in trouble, just an injury folks!

THAT's what it was reminding me of.

God, Cena on that post Benoit show doing his best to be the big time babyface in the face of THAT.

This week on Smackdown Live, WWE Champion AJ Styles competes in two singles matches against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Can Sami and Kevin get a victory over the champion before their showdown at the Royal Rumble in a handicap match? Plus much more as Smackdown Live heads towards the Royal Rumble!
