Looking back 4 years later. This Era (August 2016-April 2017) was amazing.

I miss this so much. 2016 WWE will hold a special place in my heart

[Xkingluis]

I miss the smackdown fist stage a lot. Those were the days!

[jakobbmills]

when you think about it, this smackdown era did exactly what it was suppose to, it made main event stars out of new faces. becky lynch, alexa bliss, aj styles (who was still new at the time), baron corbin . and gave the chance for mid carders to jump into main event : dean amrbose, Ziggler, bray wyatt

There's a fist in the intro, but no fist on the stage. Why WWE?

2016-17 SmackDown was the peak of my fandom. WWE came to my area four times within one year's span (2 SmackDowns in Seattle and 2 house shows in Everett) and I was there for all of them.

SmackDown just gave Dolph Ziggler a push . Something Raw couldn't do.

[emirhanproduction]

Still the best theme in Smackdown history. I will never forget Smackdown LIVE

WHAT A TIME TO BE A WRESLTING FAN, I like everything in this new era, we have to get a fresh name for this era, everything changed, from the logos to the content of the shows, great work from WWE!
Wwe is great again dont mess this new era! Just keep doing this awesome work
Also Im so pumped up with shelton benjamin coming back!

[yvesheinrich]

Remove the 'Live' from the logo, it's inappropriate.

Leaving this comment here for those joining me in the nostalgia trip! SmackDown 2016-2017 was THE show! Dean Ambrose bringing the WWE title to the blue show, John Cena was still a full-time wrestler, stars like Bray Wyatt (R.I.P 🙏), Baron Corbin, Randy Orton, etc. We may never get another era like this in WWE!

I like smackdown intro more then the raw intro

[theryancc]

Kinda 2007ish feel with the multiscreens(Seperate instead of the 4 sided scoreboard) mixed with the 2015 looking graphics and the SD Live logo. It's not bad, I think they should've picked a better song, one thats more hard rock, something that'll pump you up.Also, it's a bit nit picky, but they should make that orange flare on the LED apron blue, the regular orange flares suit RAW better

[dannycardona]

Smackdown 2016 was something else bruh

[luismartinezxiv]

It sounds like I'm about to watch Power Rangers haha

[reyzorisk]

This roster was stacked and much better than Raw oh my goodness

[christianolvera]

Am i the only one thats seen this more than 30 times xD

[ElementGames]

New Graphics look clean. Not too sure on the theme though. Maybe it will grow on me

7 years ago? 💔 where does all the time go, So much has changed in wwe and in my personal life since then This was a simpler Time in my life and I’d kill to go back.
