WWE Friday Night Smackdown Thread: Bar Fight Edition

WWE has finally made official what we all knew already... SummerSlam is not happening in Boston. They didn't say where it would now happen from... but all the money in the world is betting on the Performance Center with maybe a cinematic match thrown in for good measure

5x World Champion King Booker T had some opinions about #GiveNaomiAChance that popped up on social media after Naomi's loss to Lacey Evans last week. Let's just say those opinions were against the grain and has now garnered the Hall of Famer some heat from fans and wrestlers alike

This could perhaps be considered quite the coup by AEW on the international wrestling landscape... Sky Italy is apparently dropping WWE programming, replacing it with AEW programming

Eddie Kingston's work on Dynamite the other night is being praised all over and there are major calls for AEW to sign the 38 year old... and another indie darling we could see in the very near future is Warhorse... a guy who was discussed during Wednesday night's thread... as it's being reported that he will eventually face Cody for the TNT Championship

Not all good news from Dynamite however... as several key guys may have been injured during the show... including both Young Bucks and The Blade during the Falls Count Anywhere match and Darby Allin may have picked up a concussion when his head bounced off the ropes after Ricky Starks hit him from behind... NOLA guys having to destroy Seattle grunge shite again

Adam Cole (BAY-BAY) was on the Pat McAfee Podcast show... and it was a thing. Surely it was a work... but Cole got super heated at McAfee and stormed off during the middle of the interview. This could be a new character for the Panama City Playboy in NXT

Now for tonight's episode of Smackdown from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla.

Recovering addict Jeff Hardy is being forced into a bar to face Sheamus tonight in a bar fight

Naomi will "continue the conversation" on an episode of MizTV... so consider that a skipable segment

Bayley & Sasha Banks continue to walk around with a stolen belt... and will for some reason be given precious airtime to flaunt their thievery and "address the championship landscape" in WWE
