Smackdown put on one of the best shows of the year Friday night, but not everything happened as planned.

Fightful has learned that an unadvertised women's tag team match was originally planned for the show but was cut for time. Liv Morgan and Toni Storm were set to take on Carmella and Zelina on the show. We haven't been told if the company plans on running the match any time soon. That segment was cut during the actual show, while a planned segment between Kevin Owens and Happy Corbin was cut from the program this afternoon.

Fucking bullshit. How you don’t have time for women’s WRESTLING (not a segment) in a 2 hour show is a joke.

I thought it was weird Zelina wasn't on the show given her father's death on 9/11.

Saw Zelina's post. She even made new gear for tonight. Damn.

Something tells me that the edge vs Rollins 2 match went longer than it was supposed to

No matter the company it is, you got problems if don't have a Women's match on your show 2 weeks in a row

Toni would have been Liv tag partner i am guessing.

They haven't had a women's match for two weeks. Why is it complaining when you should showcase your female talent?

Business is business and things have to get cut but it's always the girls which is so shitty because they are honestly such a huge draw. I know for myself and sooo many people - if it weren't for them I wouldn't even be watching. I love Roman but we don't need 19 segments related to him a week

As much as I loved Smackdown tonight, cutting a Kevin Owens segment in MSG when you’re trying to convince him to stay in 4 months probably isn’t the best idea but I wonder what went long. My money is on Edge and Rollins

Crazy that they’re going to cut Zelina in her hometown the day before the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Could’ve been a heartbreaking, but truly beautiful moment.

She also posted on Twitter pre-show the special gear she had made for the MSG show to honor her late father (who died on 9/11). Awful, heartless decision by WWE.

Joel Wood

Heartless decision by WWE? It was cut during the show meaning obviously something went long. They didn’t cut it at 5;00 in the afternoon because they just said fuck it we don’t wanna do it. If you’re gonna blame anybody, blame some of the long segments or matches. If I was a betting man, my money would be on Edge and Rollins. People try and blame WWE for everything when it was literally out of their control based on the time in the show.

Roman Reigns didn't start speaking on last night's Smackdown until 10 minutes into the show. There is no reason why his entrance needs to be 6 minutes long. Start the show with him already in the ring. Keep Edge's entrance before the commercial (like they had it) but have Seth already in the ring when you come back from break. WWE feels so slow when you're watching it live. If you know you're going to be short on time (which they did since they'd already cut a Corbin/KO segment earlier in the day), there are small production changes you can make that will help keep you on time.

None of those things feel like big losses to me lol. Even though Kevin Owens deserves better and I really wish they would give Liv Morgan a chance
