Renee introduced herself and Bryan. Then they spoke of Pittsburgh being one of their favorite cities to visit and drive into from the airport. \u00a0She said she had her first Jimmy John&#8217;s in Pittsburgh, but was somehow surprised from vegan Bryan\u2019s scoff.<\/p>\n<p>Renee said she interviewed Bryan and Kurt Angle this morning about a dream match between the two. \u00a0She said it was the first of many such interviews that will be in a 360 degree format as they gear up for WrestleMania season for future social media releases.<\/p>\n<p>Renee brought up the sneak attack that A.J. Styles perpetrated on Shane McMahon during Smackdown. \u00a0Footage of the carnage was shown in its totality. \u00a0Bryan said he lost all respect for Styles after his act of cowardice because he thought he was a higher caliber human.<\/p>\n<p>Renee gave us another clip, one that saw the end of Smackdown where Shane made a match with himself versus Styles at WrestleMania. \u00a0Bryan didn\u2019t think Shane was in the right state of mind to make a decision of that magnitude. \u00a0Even though Shane is above him in the hierarchy, \u00a0Bryan said he will have to talk to him about the match. \u00a0Bryan said he knows the fans were upset when he fired Styles, but he had to based on his conduct. \u00a0He went on to say a potential match between Styles and Shane will be anticipated. \u00a0While Styles is the best wrestler in WWE and Shane is not, Bryan said Shane is tough and the match will be memorable, if it happens. He mentioned Shane was slurring his words and perhaps it wasn&#8217;t a good idea for everyone to let Shane decide, while in the state of mind, that he is fit to wrestle Styles.<\/p>\n<h3>First Guest: Mickie James<\/h3>\n<p>Mickie James surprised Bryan and Renee by already being at the desk upon her announcement to the show. \u00a0Mickie said vanquishing Alexa Bliss tonight was her biggest accomplishment since her WWE return. \u00a0She spoke of an understanding she and Bliss had; she\u2019d help Bilss regain and keep her title in exchange for a title shot at WrestleMania, but Bliss reneged. \u00a0Mickie said there really are no true friendships in this business and expected her and Bliss to go their separate ways at some point, but not this soon. \u00a0She mentioned that April 2nd has some luck behind it for her, that WrestleMania 22 was April 2nd when she beat Trish Stratus for her first WWE Women\u2019s Championship. \u00a0Mickie said she hopes to make history at WrestleMania 33 and tie Trish\u2019s record of 7 title reigns.<\/p>\n<h3>Surprise Guest: Carmella<\/h3>\n<p>Carmella interrupted Mickie\u2019s cute and touching story and \u201creluctantly\u201d tooted her horn as the most impressive woman tonight. \u00a0She vowed to be the same at her very first WrestleMania by adding to her arsenal of already present gold by winning the Women\u2019s Championship.<\/p>\n<h3>Second Surprise Guest: \u00a0Natalya<\/h3>\n<p>Natalya made her presence known and touted herself as the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. \u00a0She told Carmella that everything about her is fake and she had better watch her back at WrestleMania.<\/p>\n<p>Natalya went to Mickie and claimed herself as the locker room leader for the women since she ran Mickie off and sarcastically but nicley thanked her, to Mickie\u2019s confusion.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1477898890\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Third Surprise Guest: \u00a0Becky Lynch<\/h3>\n<p>Becky Lynch strolled to the desk in high disagreement with Natalya. \u00a0Lynch said Natalya is only the leader of snakes in the locker room, finger pointed at Carmella, and she is not her leader. \u00a0Lynch said she would rather stand alone instead. \u00a0She accused the other women of jumping on the bandwagon of attacking her from behind to make names for themselves. \u00a0She stated any such tactics won\u2019t matter and she will keep fighting and coming back for more.<\/p>\n<h3>Fourth Surprise Guest: Alexa Bliss<\/h3>\n<p>Bliss commanded, as the champion, that everybody to shut up. \u00a0She told Bryan he only has himself to blame for the chaos. \u00a0Lynch continued her snake narrative and imitated Samuel L. Jackson, that at WrestleMania she\u2019ll exclaim \u201cget these snakes out of this ring!\u201d \u00a0The joke fell on deaf ears, unfortunately.<\/p>\n<p>Bliss took the awkward silence as an opening to ask Lynch what she is still doing there despite her many failed attempts at beating Bliss for the championship. \u00a0Lynch made another joke, this one about Bliss being one of Santa\u2019s elves. \u00a0Be a Star Lynch, you\u2019re a babyface.<\/p>\n<p>After the minor bickering that ensued, Bliss emerged with a question for Bryan: How can he let this chaos happen with all these women that can\u2019t beat her, even firing a shot at innocent Renee. \u00a0She also conveniently failed to recall the deal with Mickie. \u00a0After more arguing of who deserves title shots and accusations of dishonest title retentions, Bliss asked them who is the only two time Smackdown Women\u2019s Champion. \u00a0Lynch raised her hand as the first, but Bliss said she lost it to her. \u00a0Bliss again blamed Bryan for everything and left the show.<\/p>\n<p>Natalya also picked on Bliss\u2019s height while Carmella told them all to watch their backs and left the show. \u00a0Natalya had more to say, but left in disgust after learning Renee has unfollowed her cat\u2019s Instagram account. \u00a0Renee thanked Mickie and Lynch for being on the show and gave one last mention of the multi-woman match at WrestleMania for the Smackdown Women\u2019s Title.<\/p>\n<p>Renee segued into the WrestleMania matchup of Miz &amp;\u00a0Maryse vs. John Cena &amp;\u00a0Nikki Bella. \u00a0She asked Bryan his opinion of all the verbal barbs the four of them threw at each other tonight. \u00a0He said he\u2019s still trying to recover from the previous segment from all those babbling women. \u00a0He made a funny comparison of how close that was to his real life, current and impending with a baby on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Renee asked Bryan who he is favoring in that match. \u00a0His reluctance was met with criticism from Renee, but he said he likes Carmella\u2019s potential entrance with James Ellsworth, hoping for Bayley-like balloons and flesh colored tights.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan transitioned to Maryse\u2019s accusations of Nikki from earlier tonight. \u00a0He said Maryse was wrong because he witnessed what happened and sides with what Nikki said in retaliation. \u00a0Bryan went on to state two obvious things: He can\u2019t stay objective in this situation and he and Miz do not like each other. \u00a0Despite that, Miz still gets opportunities. \u00a0Bryan goes on about what makes Miz hateable, comparing his arguing style to Donald Trump. \u00a0Bryan added he doesn\u2019t like how Miz blames others for his lack of success, comparing him to Baron Corbin and A.J. Styles and their recent actions.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1755841620\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Bryan said despite all that, he feels fans will be looking forward to the match he made tonight between Miz &amp;\u00a0Maryse vs. John Cena &amp;\u00a0Nikki Bella at WrestleMania. \u00a0Renee said it will be neat to see Miz and Cena fight again at WrestleMania, but cited her personal knowledge and experience of the tension between Nikki and Maryse. \u00a0She said they are both going to tear each other up with that personal animosity. \u00a0Bryan said that match will be a Face Punching Extravaganza as Renee gave a final plug to the matches that were announced for WrestleMania on tonight\u2019s Smackdown and signed off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S REPORT:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2017\/03\/08\/37-wwe-talking-smack-review-styles-confronts-shane-bryan-hints-wrestling-miz-maryse-fire-shots-crews-wm-plans\/\">3\/7 WWE Talking Smack Review: Styles confronts Shane, Bryan hints at wrestling again, Miz and Maryse fire shots, Crews WM plans<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-401562076\"><div id=\"pwtor-720557428\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE TALKING SMACK REVIEW MARCH 14, 2017 AIRED LIVE ON WWE NETWORK BY CRAIG ELBE, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Renee Young and Daniel Bryan were at the Talking Smack desk as the show started.
