Line 16:
* [[Channel Hop]]: [[UPN]] -> [[The CW]] -> [[My Network TV]] -> [[Syfy]].
* [[Dueling Shows]]: With WCW Thursday Night Thunder when it first aired. Later, with ''Raw'' in [[Kayfabe]].
* [[Excited Show Title!]]: Until 2008.
* [[Face of the Band|Face Of The Brand]]: Well, okay he's technically not the ''[[Face]]'', but [[The Undertaker]] has been a major part of Smackdown since the Brand Extension started.
** Coincidentally, now that 'Taker is basically retired and saved for Wrestlemania only, the Brand Extension has more or less ended.
Line 24:
* [[Long Runner]]: It's been airing since 1999.
* [[Mrs. Hypothetical]]: While serving as a commentator, [[John Bradshaw Layfield]] would refer to Michelle McCool as the "next ex-Mrs. Layfield".
* [[Network Red Headed Stepchild]]: ''Smackdown'' has been this on every channel it's appeared on, though it tends to bring in consistently superb ratings. Despite that, The CW eventually dumped the show because of this trope. Now it's on Sy Fy, which is decaying now anyway and had previously aired WWE's version of ECW.
* [[Not Me This Time]]: A storyline in 2010 involved [[Kane (wrestling)|Kane]] looking for the one who put [[The Undertaker]] in a coma. When he accused [[CM Punk]] of doing the deed, Punk replied that while he wanted to do it, it wasn't him this time.
** An early storyline in 2011 had Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long getting taken out. Since Wade Barrett had just formed [[The Corre]] on that episode, had done something similar to the previous Raw GM ([[Bret Hart]]) during his time, and Teddy had just [[Tempting Fate|tempted fate]] by telling them that he would not allow himself to be cowed by their beatdown antics, they were naturally the first suspects. However, they denied having anything to do with it. It eventually turns out that {{spoiler|they were telling the truth. It was [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|Vickie Guerrerro]] and [[Unholy Matrimony|Dolph Ziggler]] that did it.}}
* [[Precious Puppies]]:
** An episode during the [[Chyna]] / [[Eddie Guerrero]] angle,had Eddie do something that had Chyna about to dump him - until he gave her a puppy.
** There was also Al Snow's brief run with having a chihuahua named Pepper as his, um, companion object. He gave Pepper to [[Jim Ross]], who was doing commentary, while he went to do his match. [[Jim Ross]] held the dog, noticed that he was scared of the crowds, and got legitimately angrier (for the dog's sake) as the match went on, mostly neglecting the commentary. Pepper would only make one other appearance on live TV, before being (kayfabe) cooked and eaten.
