Matt Hardy says Gran Metalik is clumsy. Duly noted, Matt.

Smackdown Week 3 Sept 2017

Shane cuts a promo on Owens, and condemns Owens to hell... in a cell!!! (71)

Randy Orton d. Aiden English. (65) We see a montage. Rusev has returned to Bulgaria to train to redeem himself for his Summerslam loss. Many scrawny bulgarians attempt to RKO him. He is throwing them all off! What a man! (77)

Dillinger attacks Corbin in the leg when he's about to answer the US Title Open Challenge. (51) AJ Styles defeats Baron Corbin easily because of his leg injury. (67)

Randy Orton comes across Shinsuke Nakamura backstage. Asks where the hell Shinsuke was last week. Nakamura calmly says he turned the TV off when Jinder came on, but he would've had Orton's back. Orton still looks angry, but reluctantly accepts that answer, and takes Nakamura aside to PLOT. (93)

We see a brief recap of Ziggler's claims of having a hot new entrance to debut 3 weeks ago. He has not been here since! Nattie gets Catty with Charlotte. Charlotte challenges her to a match. Natalya says there are tons of contenders and she couldn't possibly just gives one away. Daniel Bryan comes out, agrees, and makes a 4 way for the number one contendership Nattie is livid! (59)

New Day (Big E + Woods) d. Hype Bros (62)

Owens responds to Shane via Satellite. (83)

Charlotte Flair d. Becky, Tamina, Naomi to challenge for the Women's Championship at HiaC (48)

Jinder Mahal is out there. He has ascended beyond the standard contenders Orton and Shinsuke. He will begin hosting open challenges from now on, not to be outdone by AJ Styles, to show what a dominant champion he is.

Orton and Nakamura rush out to shut him up! But Orton stops just short of the ring, leaving Nakamura to face Mahal and the Singh Brothers alone. However, Shinsuke beats the hell out of the brothers successfully alone, runs off Mahal, and stands tall. He beckons to Orton to beat up some dead Singh brothers if he wants. Orton takes this better than you'd expect, obliges, and RKOs them. He teases RKOing Nakamura as well, but Nakamura sorta sways back and does the "I see you" gesture. (66)

Rating: 72

Changes: (Last show of SD with this too-- I'm going to go full on original with SD after this show just to have a standardized cutoff)
I'm not ready for Rusev to enter a feud with Orton yet since he's still involved with Mahal, but there's POTENTIAL there.
Of course the Mahal storyline continues to go off the rails from stupid racism promos as you can see by me actually writing some segments up. I like how a segment with just Nakamura & Orton gets 93, then you add Jinder and his goons and it drops to 66. Realism !
No Ziggler entrances, but a reminder he did cut those stupid promos forever ago promising an entrance.
Maybe slight changes to other stuff I kinda forgot details and didn't wanna look em up.

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
