Can you believe this is the go home show for Backlash? Already?! It doesn't feel like the dust has completely settled from SummerSlam yet we're now just five days away from WWE's next pay per view event.

This brand extension is alright if you can't get enough of watching WWE programming, isn't it?

Ahead of this week's SmackDown Live it was announced that Daniel Bryan would be hosting a forum in the ring featuring each of the six competitors in the SmackDown Women's Championship Six Pack Challenge - which is now an elimination challenge by the way, presumably due to the success of RAW's Universal Championship version last week.

Undoubtedly, as I write this intro before watching this week's show, one lady will say something completely unflattering to another which will set up a match.

Aside from the vacant Women's Championship on the blue brand, we had the vacant Tag Team Championships to deal with as well. Heath Slater, who needs to win the whole damn thing to secure a SmackDown Live contract of course, and Rhyno looked like facing American Alpha in the final on Sunday after their inevitable win over The Hype Bros - AA should beat The Usos too, right?

So Heath is now so, so over with the fans meaning that a loss for him would be greeted with a chorus of boos on Sunday, while WWE have introduced Gable and Jordan as unbeatable... something's got to give.

Problems!

16. Everybody Talks Too Much...

Everybody talks too much these days, we all know that. Myself included, most things that people say these days is complete nonsense. This trend continued with a tweet put out by WWE's official Twitter account.

Undoubtedly under the impression that they were being a Berty Big !*$%, the person running WWE's social media claimed that this was the 890th episode of SmackDown Live.

This, quite frankly, is wrong. Pardon me for being a bit of a pedantic Peter here, but this week's show was far from the 890th episode of SmackDown LIVE. Yes, I'm going there lads and I don't give a damn! Didn't that person running WWE's Twitter account see a massive rebranding took place a few weeks ago now?

Since SmackDown LIVE only came into existence as a result of the brand extension, this week's show was only the eighth that has ever taken place.

That statistic of this week's show being the 890th is completely fanciful! Berty Big !*$%, my arse!
