Smackdown wins the final week of 2016, and boy did that 2 hours fly by

8/10 for the last show of 2016

Happy New Year everyone, and see some of you early Tuesday morning for Raw

Now for 205

I don't mind him getting a shot but just saying I want a match and getting one even more so after been away about 3-4 months.

He should at least earn it

Felt like a PPV. If you added an hour with a few crappy matches it basically was one.

Great show.

Not sure who was under the mask (not Naomi like I said earlier). They had blonde hair- could be seen through the laces at the back.

It's not even just earning it (and believe me I'm totally with you there)

Built right AJ Styles vs John Cena could easily be the smackdown Wrestlemania main event. I'm just hoping they're "giving it away" at the rumble to do Cena v Taker at Mania.

Also starting to think that they might go with AJ v Balor if Balor is ready to go.

Wanted Cena to AA Styles to blur the lines of face and heel a bit.

So Enzo does this he's the face
Noam Dar does the same thing in fact even less (Plus Fox isn't married) and he's the heel

Genuinely thought Noam Dar was the face 😳

TBF I'm English (obviously) and I have to really listen to understand what Neville says and don't always catch it.

Kinda makes me understand when people don't understand some things I say (I moved to another part of the country 19 years ago but still have a strong Yorkshire accent)

He was heel on his first night turned face after his first match went heel again on his next appreance

I don't think the one botch should take away from the fact that Corbin put in his best ever performance so far tonight and played his part in a really good match. Luckily for him, AJ had the ring awareness to kick out and save any overly awkward moments. Glad to have Cena back and I hope he and AJ can have a legitimately great match this time instead of the video game spam they did at Summerslam.

That was the first time I've watched a full show on TV in a while and I must say it was quite enjoyable. Smackdown is good.

I do find Gallagher funny this is how a comedy face can work

what a match between swann and nevile

If they were used like this on Raw they would be over as hell.

oh yeah swann can wrestle.

problem with raw is it's too long

Anyone else really enjoy watching Talking Smack? For what it is, it does give a great opportunity to let the wrestlers have a far bit of microphone time, and can generate good storylines from it.
It is far better I think than Raw Talk.

Well done American Alpha!

Did JBL actually say F*** unbleeped when talking to Ambrose?

By competing in the 30 man Royal Rumble!

Cena heel turn is a must I think, it's there and it would make the feud more interesting

I wouldnt want a Cena heel turn. He's been the face since 2003 so why change what aint broken.

Smackdown was awesome this week so impressed with Corbin in the triple threat and well done to alpha fully desverd does this mean undertaker will win the rumble or will he cost cena the title

It's certainly showing signs of cracks, we've had the spilt reception for him for so long, we have Styles who's supposed to be heel getting cheers and it's clear that the fans are more on board with him being the 'face'. Cena's promo has put him in a good position for it to be happen, will the WWE be brave enough to do it I surely hope so. Cena's character needs to evolve and turning heel I feel would be the best for him now as he's gotten stale, in fact it might get him more over.

Problem is Cena has been there for so long now would it really be worth it changing him when he'll probably retire in a few years anyway.

Plus he gets a ton of Make a wishes so I really cant see them turning him.
