Vince McMahon? Last-minute changes? Never!

Well, believe it or not, Vinny Mac has reportedly made some last-minute creative changes ahead of tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown Live.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin, McMahon has had the SmackDown creative team completely rewrite tonight’s episode of Smackers.

Previously, the announced segments for tonight’s SmackDown Live were The O.C. vs. The New Day, Dolph Ziggler. Vs Finn Balor, and a King’s Court spot where Jerry Lawler would interview Trish Stratus.

That King’s Court segment was expected to start the build for Charlotte Flair vs. Stratus at WWE SummerSlam on August 11th, so it remains to be seen whether those plans will remain in place for tonight.

As for Ziggler vs. Balor, the Irishman was recently hospitalised with the stomach flu – meaning it could well be that the former Universal Champion isn’t medically cleared to compete on SmackDown tonight.

For the whole O.C. vs. New Day match, that bout was intended to showcase a whole load of gold after Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows captured the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships on last night’s Raw. Of course, AJ Styles is also the current US Champion, whilst SmackDown has Kofi Kingston as WWE Champion and Big E and Xavier Woods are WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

How SmackDown ultimately turns out, we’ll have to wait and see once the blue brand’s latest offering airs in just a matter of hours.
