As we learned on Tuesday and discussed during Wednesday's AEW/NXT thread... Sami Zayn has been stripped of the WWE Intercontinental Championship after he decided to have his personal coronavirus stay at home order... which had the terrible side effect of forcing Cesaro & Nakamura into the Baron Corbin midcard vortex of evil... and for that alone Zayn should be forced into jobber hell

With that as the focus... Smackdown tonight comes from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla. and I'm pretty sure tonight has been pre-taped

With the Intercontinental Championship now declared vacant... a tournament will be held to crown a new IC Champion. Neither the competitors nor the bracket have yet to be revealed so... who do you want to see win it all? Will there be any Raw "invitees" allowed to battle for the title since that's now a thing?

Speaking of Corbin... how will Corbin & AJ Styles handle the fact that Elias essentially cost them both the MITB briefcase? I guess we already know Styles' answer... and that is focus on the Undertaker again... so just Corbin then?

The NXT Women's Champion will make her return to the main roster... so what does this upstart Charlotte Flair chick have to say about getting the call up to the big time?

The 2020 Mr. Money in the Bank... Otis Dozovic... will make a guest appearance on Miz TV... oddly enough not the Dirt Sheet... to discuss his plans for the MITB contract... will he try for the WWE BlUniversal Championship? Will he instead use it to get he and Tucker Knight a tag team title opportunity? Will he hand it off to his gf Mandy Rose to allow her to go after Bayley? Will Miz or (more likely) Dolph try to steal it from Otis? Why does G The Tiger Fan & SMS hate people that weigh less than them, like Otis? All the hard-hitting questions that Miz will likely ask tonight.

Will GTV v2.0 have any new footage?

Did Bayley celebrate her big win at MITB with some HLA with Sasha?

Has Dana Brooke gotten out of WWE HQ yet? She seemed trapped & confused a lot in there

Bray Wyatt made a TicToc that was also just tweeted out by WWE... check it out

Since WWE made her look like a complete moron during the MITB match last week (and I did too a couple sentences ago)... here is Dana Brooke looking fine... enjoy

a little early to kick off the split up storyline, no?

this is how these break-ups usually start

Let’s see Chris Jericho try for the IC.

Actually an AEW -WWE invasion angle would help both brands while on lockdown.

I definitely think Cesaro should have been higher on the card the past several years.

I thought I've heard Vince doesn't like tournaments but I've always been a fan of them.

I was having a good day before this vicious, unprovoked attack by rt3.

Did anybody see Mandy in that little pre-recorded video she sent Otis on The Bump or whatever it’s called? My God this woman is next level fine

Corbin should be fired for breaking the mirror and putting a hole in the wall in the WWE HQ weight room

ETA: also 2 counts of attempted murder

If it wasn't for Corbin, one of the foreigners could've won MITB. He should be praised.

He was the only male competitor who even tried to stop it, rt3. All of the others were just gonna let it happen.

Apparently he did and he's stuffing it with sandwiches and Gas-X.

Good point. He did not climb the ladder. It shouldn't count.
