  1. WWE smackdown need both Jimmy and Jey in the same side as a tag team. They are the best tag team in the WWE today.

  2. It’s 8 days before payback and still no decision on who is challenging Sky at Payback?? Will Bianca appear? Former champ Asuka received terrible booking during her pitiful 70 day Women’s Champion reign!! Will it be Asuka vs. Charlotte to decide the challenger? I guess we’ll finally learn in a few hours what WWE has cooked up for tonight’s Smack Down episode!

  3. Is not going to be Bianca Belair she has her time but she is just like Shayna Baszler always choosing Charlotte Flair for the women’s belt i like the damage control she had it coming holding the belt so long. Asuka is another story ever since Becky Lynch tell her she is new champion since money in the bank 2020 in 3 years ago. They should not go after Iyo Sky is not their business because she won the 2023 money in the bank briefcase she has the right to cash in. Bianca Asuka Charlotte should be bottom of the line. I remember hall of famer Nikki Bella is longtime regning undefeated women champion.
