Smackdown officially becomes WWE's top show tonight as it makes the move to Friday nights (for the first time since January 2015) and FOX... with the first of these episodes coming from the Staples Center in Los Angeles

Here's the new Smackdown set



Oh by the way... it's also the final show before a PPV this Sunday... you know... Hell in a Cell

Did you forget? WWE might have too since there's only 3 matches officially scheduled for it so far

Brock Lesnar becomes the absentee WWE Heavyweight Champion when he squashes Kofi's reign like a bug tonight

Kevin Owens & Shane McMahon both put their careers on the line in a ladder match

The Man & Queen Connection takes on the Boss & Hug Connection

Roman Reigns takes on the man that tried to crush him to death... Erick Rowan

The Rock returns to the show that bears one of his tag lines for a cheap ratings pop

Randy Orton may or may not call someone the N-word

I'm sure more surprises are expected tonight on the debut episode of Friday Night Smackdown on FOX

Hell in Cell will be intersting considering they have to fill the card despite no storyline advancement outside of the 3 matches announced

Sting will show up tonight

I wonder if we will get any surprises

Doubt it was cheap, but it'll definitely work.

Speaking of names from the past, apparently Edge has signed a new contract and just got medically cleared. He's saying he thinks he can do one more match. Austin was kind of hinting that he might be able to do one more too. If Austin comes back, I would expect it to be at one of the Saudi shows. I wonder if Edge would do one of those or if he's in good enough shape to do a real match at WM.

Oh and Tom Phillips is now officially the lead announcer for NXT UK.

Saudi show or retirement match

Will The Rock ever have a proper retirement match? Or the Bellas?

Nikki's neck is destroyed and considering she's a woman is probably in worse shape than Edge or Austin. Plus those two have had a long time to heal.

Have to be up at 4:30 Monday morning so I’ll catch maybe the first match of HIAC before going to sleep.

Randy Orton challenged The Rock to a match at Wrestlemania on Twitter

'member when WWE put the Women's tag Team Championships on a comedy team in order to set up a title run by the Bellas only to have the neck injury come to light?

I 'member... and it caused a top WWE women's wrestler to take her ball and go home for a few months b/c she wa pissed about having to drop the belts

If we don't see at least one of Bad News Barrett, Michelle McCool/Layla(Laycool), Eric Bischoff, Farooq, or AOP(in the ring not in their interviews) tonight I might not watch much Smackdown after tonight

Do you think the IIconics will ever win the belts again?

Looks like Stephanie is going to be the focal point of the show!!!

I'm not going to watch live b/c football but I'll catch it at some point.

probably going to need to re-brand themselves in a more serious light or do something to get much more over than they are now



I'm stunned to find out Monday night's Flair/Hogan segment saw ~500,000 viewers immediately tune out when the segment ended

Your idea of "ruin" is much different than mine. I'm hoping for a two-hour sit-down interview with Daddy's Little Girl.

someone in WWE apparently texted Meltzer during the 2nd hour of NXT and said they needed to get out of the building... guess that means someone feels Full Sail will keep NXT down if this is truly a war with AEW

Those minute-by-minute numbers always seem kinda sketchy to me but I wouldn't doubt a lot of people just wanted to see Flair and/or Hogan and wasn't too much interested in the rest of the show.
