🔵Smackdown/205 Live Thread 4/17/18: Shake-up Night 2

[Hypnosis]

How will the Superstar Shake-up affect Team Blue

The first night of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up saw major changes, as Raw gained United States Champion Jinder Mahal (who then lost the title to Jeff Hardy), Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and The Riott Squad, among others, from Team Blue. However, SmackDown LIVE also gained a Superstar in The Miz. How will the faces of Team Blue continue to change? Who will show up on SmackDown LIVE? Find out during night two of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up, starting at 8/7 C on USA Network!

• Will Shinsuke Nakamura continue to antagonize AJ Styles?
• Princess Mella’s reign begins
  
• Are The Usos ready for a bludgeoning?
  
• The Miz returns to Team Blue
  

You've got this, Paige.  Good luck on your picks.

Here's my (not-so-great) score card going into tonight:

What I Guessed Correctly:
Carmella's cash-in
Iconic Duo/Iconics
Mahal
Zayn/Owens
Breezango
Natalya
Ziggler

What I Guessed Wrong:
Dragon stepping down as GM
Riott Squad
Miz
Rawley
McIntyre (Had him coming up to SDL)
Corbin
Ryder
Kanellis
Roode
Gable
Ascension

Pending Guesses:
Styles to RAW
Rollins to SDL
Balor to SDL
Hardy to SDL
Joe to SDL
Elias to SDL
Kane to SDL
Cass to SDL
Almas, Ohno & SAnitY to SDL from NXT
Revival, The Club & Titus Worldwide to SDL Tag Division
Becky & Naomi to RAW Women's Division
Asuka, Bayley & Bliss to SDL Women's Division

Made all of these last week, which you can tell from some of them. I know at least half of those pending are incorrect, but I'll make it official after the show.

Addition by subtraction.

Can’t wait until Smackdown gets Big Cass and Titus O’neil.

[The Rick Jericho]

Titus Cass.

That's an interesting team name.

She needs to add "Paige here" to the beginning of her theme song or, like BURN IT DOWWWWWWWWN, 15-20 secs in so the crowd can chant it.

It's only a step away from being named Bigus Dickus

On the bright side, we have a Tornado Tag tonight, and we all know 205 Live's track record with match stipulations.

The good thing about Paige’s genius GM’ing is that even if SDL gets some scrubs we all know that they just won’t do anything with them. They are always going to try to do something with goofs like Jinder though.

If WWE makes this a shirt and puts it up on WWE Shop I'm buying it.

Wouldn't be mad about Cass because he's be in the midcard, but they definitely need Balor and or Rollins
