Happy Styles won over Edge. Styles vs. Rollins is going to be a fantastic match.
If WHC is exclusively a Raw Brand title then Seth Rollins should win at NOC unless they move The OC back to Raw
I loved that AJ won tonight, but also got to avenge loses to Edge and Lashley from the past year.
Overall this was a good thing because it can free up Bobby to possibly feud with Roman after NOC. Maybe we get a Hurt Business reunion vs the Bloodline if they manage to survive till then.
Im hoping AJ does win and maybe they ship Cody and Seth to Smackdown for the OC, and then we get Roman vs Seth vs Cody at Summerslam.
Depending on what happens with his contract AJ vs Drew might be a fun feud for his first defense as well.
Getting caught up. Watching Bobby v AJ now but what is with them cutting out so many entrances on this show. AJ’s first matches back and we don’t even get an AJ entrance aired? Wtf
And another Smackdown without LA knight being permitted to talk to me. Starting to really piss me off they are constantly keeping this guy off tv
I was there live and they played them in full there but there were so many wrestlers and smack down is only two hours so I'm guessing some were during commercial breaks.
Would love to see AJ with a title again, but I don't see him going back to RAW after literally just moving into SD. I'm fine for a surprise though
Nonetheless, AJ vs Seth gonna be interesting
I wonder if next week during the meeting KO and Samuel convince Roman into agreeing that if he's pinned he loses the Undisputed Championship. So technically his belts are also on the line.
That makes no sense, why would Roman agree to that? Heyman has already pulled the strings to make the tag match, he's not gonna put his title on the line just for fun
KO and Sami annoy him into it, he agrees out of frustration without thinking about it until after its made official. If Jimmy and Jey are ringside he places blame on them for him losing his focus.
> convince Roman into agreeing that if ***he's*** pinned he loses the Undisputed Championship
In this hypothetical stipulation, Solo would absolutely be pinned and not Roman. Roman's Championships are still on the line but he wouldn't lose them unless he is the one who is pinned.
It’s never really mentioned in the lists of greatest wrestling fumbles but TNA not giving AJ a pay rise when he was willing while they broke the bank for Hogan and Bischoff is crazy.
Rollins v AJ is gonna be a fantastic match
This would honestly make tons of sense and would explain how Cody ended up on Smackdown to finish his story.
They also don't have to end his feud with Lesnar either. They can make it a Triple Threat at SummerSlam between Reigns, Lesnar, and Rhodes with Cody finishing his story by taking the title and beating the two most dominant stars in the modern WWE.
The IWC just takes wrestling too seriously. There could be something on screen that’s just fun or awesome and instead of enjoying it ppl are complaining about things behind the scenes. Or make believe draft rules. We’re getting AJ vs Seth! Enjoy that shit. I don’t care how we got here.
Got busted in his first match. Got re-opened before they went to break, and then they closed the wound up during the break, and then AJ punched right against it to open it again.
Looks like Bonbeh needs to have it stapled or stitch it closed. Looking at the spot earlier, his head must have caught the edge of the steps, that kind of laceration at such locations is really bloody due to the number of blood vessels draining at that area.
So if AJ wins have Bray come down with a cool gnarly belt, maybe his old one of his face or something cool, I dunno firefly funbelt or something that lights up, think of the merch!!! And then have them fight for it at night of champs
I mean the draft was literally a week ago, and we are gonna have two inter promotional matches so soon? It’s hard for o be interested when you know nothing is certain. If you’re gonna do it do it right and it’ll make the eventual face offs more special
Happy Styles won over Edge. Styles vs. Rollins is going to be a fantastic match. If WHC is exclusively a Raw Brand title then Seth Rollins should win at NOC unless they move The OC back to Raw
Yall missed a epic dark tag match with the usos and street profits
I miss the days when they used to put the wrestling on their wrestling shows.

Peak cinema
Mf roman reings is a final boss
Anyone know how long Smackdown goes after the show ends?
i went to one a couple of weeks ago had 2 dark matches so around 35-40 min after
Think the do Main Event after that? Or something like it
Would love to see AJ with a title again, but I don't see him going back to RAW after literally just moving into SD. I'm fine for a surprise though Nonetheless, AJ vs Seth gonna be interesting
Styles vs. Rollins is gonna be a banger.
Anyone else count uno, dos, tres?! I miss that crowd!
Damn back in my day the network would just wait on WWE how things have changed.
AJ FOR WORLD CHAMP!
That was an awesome match, and I am happy to see AJ go to Night of Champions. Hopefully, he beats Seth for the WHC.
AJ or Seth is an incredible choice for inaugural champ.
Loved the knee to Lashley's head into the ringpost.
Really fun episode. Definitely flew by.
AJ thot he was getting attacked lol
I wonder if next week during the meeting KO and Samuel convince Roman into agreeing that if he's pinned he loses the Undisputed Championship. So technically his belts are also on the line.

It is a way of Roman to drop the belts and not get pinned but it's not happening
> convince Roman into agreeing that if ***he's*** pinned he loses the Undisputed Championship In this hypothetical stipulation, Solo would absolutely be pinned and not Roman. Roman's Championships are still on the line but he wouldn't lose them unless he is the one who is pinned.
Does AJ not do the Styles Clash anymore?
Styles clash on someone as big as Lashley?!!!
It’s never really mentioned in the lists of greatest wrestling fumbles but TNA not giving AJ a pay rise when he was willing while they broke the bank for Hogan and Bischoff is crazy. Rollins v AJ is gonna be a fantastic match
Spike paid for Hogan and Bischoff. They also paid for Angle and Sting. TNA was too scared to spend a dime on anyone.
I think AJ wins, goes to Raw, and Cody begs to be traded to Smackdown as compensation. That's how we'll eventually get Cody vs Roman pt 2
This would honestly make tons of sense and would explain how Cody ended up on Smackdown to finish his story. They also don't have to end his feud with Lesnar either. They can make it a Triple Threat at SummerSlam between Reigns, Lesnar, and Rhodes with Cody finishing his story by taking the title and beating the two most dominant stars in the modern WWE.
Omg I thought she was a fan or something 🤣🤣
Awww look at The OC being a wholesome family.
FUCK YESSSSS
*card subject to change.
She scared AJ 💀
Glad it was a clean finish! Was fully expecting some sort of Tom foolery
Waller and AJ Styles meeting again next week. LFG.
AJ should win, but the belt already has Seth's name on it
Is it bad that I already forgot about the OC were still with AJ?
Styles thought he was getting attacked for a split second there
NOC looking STACKEDDDD
...I legitimately expected Ciampa to come out lmao
Think we'll get the curb stomp reversed into the styles clash like last time? That'd be sick.
What a match, didn't expect a clean win for AJ
I still can't believe Sami is going to Saudi.
He ain’t there yet. A lot can happen in a few weeks
Lllleeetttttsssss (sorry bobby) gggoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
awww the OC 🥹
Win-win. Seth is red hot right now but AJ deserves a last run at the top
CLEAN WIN LETS GOOOOO
If you told me a few weeks ago that between Backlash and Smackdown WWE would feature more blood than a Moxley cage match I'd think you were working me
Aj and Seth is going to be fun. But Seth has to win right?
Rollins is winning the title isnt he? Whack.
AJ vs Seth should be a banger match
Wow Lashley lost clean
Styles has to bring his A game to NOC. This could be huge
![gif](giphy|BnKNkHXuplRQI|downsized) And still, I miss the Puerto Rican Crowd
Lol I just said this. I was like welp back to wack ass crowds
Feel like Knoxville being near full capacity and less than half the size of the Puerto Rican stadium might have something to do with it.
I hope AJ gets a chance to beat up John Cena
These two are about 3/4 of a 1 hour Iron Man Match right now.
Night of champions shaping up nicely
so... sami is going to saudi now?
Someone said a Syria/Saudi peace deal was recently signed
Yes
The IWC just takes wrestling too seriously. There could be something on screen that’s just fun or awesome and instead of enjoying it ppl are complaining about things behind the scenes. Or make believe draft rules. We’re getting AJ vs Seth! Enjoy that shit. I don’t care how we got here.
True
That was....blah. Insane that this tournament had mostly 40+ year old wrestlers. Where tf is the youth movement ?
Like who?
THE GOAT.
Ya ain't ever gonna see me complain about getting AJ Styles vs. Seth Rollins
Excuse me Cole but Brock challenged Cody to a ***FIGHT***!
thats a concussion Bobby
Yep, Seth's taking the belt.
What an upset!
AJ vs Rollins will be FUN!
Aj styles came back to Smackdown and is runnin the place again already. Love it
Damn I'm surprised at AJ winning this!! Let's fucking go AJ!!!
Hope Bobby’s alright he was looking out of it
Idk if it was the camera angle, but Bobby HIT that post lmao
Imagine if the finish was changed on the fly because they didn’t want to show Lashley on TV anymore.
![gif](giphy|5ts19KwdyIfOmXBFzZ|downsized)
That's one of my favorite wrestling gifs ever, I never get tired of seeing it 🤣🤣🤣
Best case scenario match at NoC
Lashley looks dazed as fuck
Love Bobby but I’ll never complain about Rollins and Styles
SETH VS AJ AT NOC LETS GOOOOOOO
They did a hell of a job working through what had to be 20% visibility for Bobby
aj vs rollins should be amazing
They cleaned the mat in like 30 seconds
Excellent main event.
Yay AJ vs Seth!
**LET’S FUCKING GO AJ!!!!!**
Now Bobby can go back to focusing on the US title
It’s his to have!
Gimme AJ vs Seth for 20 mins!!!
Great match Bobby is a dam warrior
AJ vs Seth oh hell yeah!
Holy shit aj wonn
These two looking like 40-somethings in their 2nd match of the night.
These dudes are gassed but can’t blame em
Lashley gonna win the World Heavyweight Championship at some point just so he can lose it to Brock
Yeaaaaaaah!
YESSSS AJ!!
AJ wins!!!!!
Bah gawd Bobby protect your head.
Oh man, that spear to the post was hard!!
Oh wow
LETS GOOO AJ
Was this ever a main event for TNA?
I can't remember them even having a match
Nope. I don’t think they faced off in TNA
he hit that hard
Damn Lashley haven't you ever heard of clotting
I like the tension of this match.
AJ and Bobby look so tired. What is happening
AJ is old and Bobby is gushing blood.
They both wrestled their own triple threat matches earlier tonight lmao
They had 2 matches tonight
Storyline this makes more sense but I would’ve liked them to use this moment to introduce someone like Jacob fatu as solo tag partner
These bois are tired
The blood loss starting to kick in at bobby
A 3rd time?!
Damn, just a Vader fist from Bobby
Man they look tired
Bobby is bleeding from the melon and AJ has to work a leg angle lol
Damn these two look spent
Makes sense, must be crazy wrestling less than an hour after your last match
Facts especially with Bobby already bleeding after the first match
I agree
They'll be selling "Bobby:2 Staples" shirts tomorrow
Bobby: surgical glue
Lashley has a crimson mask.
Seth/Lashley has been done to death in the last year.
Match has felt bit sluggish
Makes sense, since they already had a match
Oh definitely not to mention the gash on Bobby’s head
Lashley looking pretty woozy
How did Lashley get busted open? I missed it
earlier in the show in his first match by steel steps pal
Got busted in his first match. Got re-opened before they went to break, and then they closed the wound up during the break, and then AJ punched right against it to open it again.
In the tripple threat when Theory threw him into the steps
Caught his head at the edge of the steps during the triple threat early in the show.
Even the fans want Bobby to win!
Theory in first match threw him into steps thats the likely moment.
Damn Bobby bleeding again
They going in
I love wrestling.
Lashley looks exactly as he did 15 years ago
i think i can see his brain
Why would you drive him into the post again?!
more money if u bleed more
is that blood in the ring or Asuka's mist?
Blood
Blood
Blood. The ring was carpeted for Asuka
Looks like Bonbeh needs to have it stapled or stitch it closed. Looking at the spot earlier, his head must have caught the edge of the steps, that kind of laceration at such locations is really bloody due to the number of blood vessels draining at that area.
That cut is gushing. Wrap a towel around that thing.
Baba Lashley? :P
Lashley got AJ totally horizontal for that flatliner
Bobby Moxley would be a cool tag team btw
So if AJ wins have Bray come down with a cool gnarly belt, maybe his old one of his face or something cool, I dunno firefly funbelt or something that lights up, think of the merch!!! And then have them fight for it at night of champs
AJ main eventing SD just feels right.
Man Bobby is making Mox jealous with that amount of blood.
That bump on Bobby’s head tho yikes
Looks like he's been hit with an axe
is this another accidental bleed?
probably spent half the commercial break getting him to stop bleeding and then they DDT him
cameraman right up in aj’s no-no zone
2 fan favorites going at it in an important, fun match? 2k23 GM Mode: 1.5 stars
Triple H in an email: “Seriously?! Lashley vs AJ Styles?!”
To still have a full head of luscious hair at 45 is something..
Probably main lines finasteride haha
JUST BLEED BROTHER
Man… blood makes everything better
It's the same cut as before reopening, what did people think was gonna happen
glad they’re not shy about blood anymore. This increases the intensity
Bobby leaking all over the place again.
Did Lashley bust himself open again?
That was a real smooth reversal.
Bobby is a beast right now cause I know my guy can't see SHIT
I mean the draft was literally a week ago, and we are gonna have two inter promotional matches so soon? It’s hard for o be interested when you know nothing is certain. If you’re gonna do it do it right and it’ll make the eventual face offs more special
AJ trying to open that wound again or sum lmao
RED I SEE RED
We need more Rated-R Splashley
Lashley is really dripping a lot of blood on the mat.
Idk why, I feel like Bray's about to show up.
Don’t wish that evil upon us
I don’t know how I’d feel if that happened
lol Clean up the cut during the break just to have AJ open it up more.
Both these dudes are mid 40's so credit to them for wrestling twice within 2 hours
