AT PHILIPS ARENA<br \/>\nBy Joey Galizia (@RamJam89), PWTORCH SPECIALIST<\/h3>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cFIELD OF DREAMS\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After weeks of multi-women matches pitting the newly formed \u201cWelcoming Committee\u201d against the champion and team babyface (Charlotte, Becky Lynch) tonight a new no. 1 contender will be determined. Natalya, Charlotte, Becky, Carmella, and Tamina (God help us) will clash in a Fatal Five-way in Atlanta in what should be a fun affair. Will the new alliance between the heels get tarnished at their quest for gold? Will Charlotte and Becky\u2019s lack of partner chemistry reignite another feud between the two? Hopefully this is what gets the division back on track because currently the Red Brand and the Blue Brand are swinging the pendulum at who can make the women look dumber. #SAVEusASUKA<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cCELEBRATION CONTINUES\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As of now the decision to put the title on Jinder Mahal seems like a smart one. Last week\u2019s Punjabi celebration was an exiting ceremony that actually felt like a man celebrating, and the great numbers the segment did on YouTube has to please the WWE higher-ups. It\u2019s almost guaranteed that the champ will make an appearance at the Philips Arena tonight, but will the Viper return to put the pressure on? With several weeks before their rematch at <i>Money in the Bank<\/i>, it only makes sense for some RKO\u2019s to get delivered.<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cMONEY HANGING IN THE SKY\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MITB as a pay-per-view has quite the reputation. Going back to 2011, the event isn\u2019t just a one match show, but end-to-end a highly anticipated card. With that said, the lineup for this particular ladder extravaganza could be one of the greatest of all time. (IMO) Kevin Owens and A.J. Styles clearly have unfinished business, as do Sami Zayn and Baron Corbin. No offense to Ziggler, but he\u2019s only in there to enhance. (And if he does win, I really will question my sanity.) Shinsuke is the big surprise to be added. We are so used to seeing the king damage his victims with his stiff striking abilities, but now that weapons are involved who knows what can happen. Until then, expect another round of the participants facing off against one another.<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cTEAM BLUE. TEAM RU.\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-No only has Rusev\u2019s title angle been dropped, but his Predators are already down a game in the Stanley Cup series.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-748755186\" 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<p>-Like&#8230; remember how in EVERY match people chant &#8220;10&#8221;? Remember how when the &#8220;Perfect 10&#8221; Tye Dillinger comes out and wins people go crazy? Right\u2026 so why doesn\u2019t this guy have a feud yet? Why isn\u2019t HE in the MITB ladder match?<\/p>\n<p>-The Usos were able to fend off the fashion police two times in a row. Who\u2026 WHO\u2026 WHO\u2026 will be able to step up and challenge the Samoans? Hint: They were on Talking Smack last week and it rhymes with Pew Pay.<\/p>\n<p>-Baron Corbin needs anger management bad. He hates losing so much that he\u2019s willing to destroy everyone to prove that he\u2019s the best. Even though that\u2019s childish, it\u2019s still one of the better character developments we\u2019ve seen on the blue brand.<\/p>\n<p>-Sasha Banks will be on 205 tonight as she prepares for her mixed-tag match with Rich Swann against Noam Dar and Alicia Fox. Regardless, I\u2019m excited.<\/p>\n<p>Come on SD\u2026 let\u2019s get back on track.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S ARTICLE:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2017\/05\/23\/smackdown-primer-523-jinder-mahal-celebrates-wwe-title-win-new-day-return-shinsukes-next-step-breezango-fashion-files\/\">SMACKDOWN PRIMER 5\/23: Jinder Mahal celebrates his WWE Title win, New Day return, Shinsuke\u2019s next step, Breezango Fashion Files<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2728829529\"><div id=\"pwtor-1739078493\"><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>SMACKDOWN PRIMER MAY 30, 2017 ATLANTA, GA.
