Lesnar on SmackDown Live?
After SummerSlam 2002 was done and dusted with, Stephanie McMahon signed WWE Champion Brock Lesnar to an exclusive SmackDown contract and he started appearing only on the blue show following the move. For almost the entirety of his remaining first run in WWE, Brock Lesnar competed on SmackDown.

There have been reports of Lesnar being brought in to the blue brand upon its move to FOX. Although he won't appear regularly like he used to do in his first run, Lesnar being a SmackDown Live exclusive Superstar could really make fans care about the show more, and would give WWE a chance to build Monday Night Raw around a bunch of future stars.

WWE Talking Smack debuted on the WWE Network on August 2, 2016, as a post-show feature. The show's final edition aired on July 11, 2017, and was hosted by Renee Young and Shane McMahon. The short-lived run of Talking Smack gave the fans a string of memorable moments, the biggest of them being The Miz's outburst on Daniel Bryan, regarded by many as being one of the best promos of the modern era.

The show was a hit among the fans, and bringing it back will only add to the overall unique feel of SmackDown Live. Here's a look at how amazing this show used to be:
Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
