WWE SmackDown Review: WWE Remembers Hulk Hogan, TLC Match Made for SummerSlam, Logan Paul & Jelly Roll

<v Speaker 1>Listen WWE superstar Drew mcintyr, and you're listening to the
<v Speaker 1>WWE podcast show, the one that everybody wants me.
<v Speaker 2>So well, yours is my You can acknowledge me. Good morning,
<v Speaker 2>good afternoon, and the evening. Hello, whatever time it is
<v Speaker 2>with you and wherever you are. Thank you for downloading
<v Speaker 2>this SmackDown review as part of the WWE podcast. As always,
<v Speaker 2>it's an absolute pleasure to have you listening along. I
<v Speaker 2>am Amanda at your host of the SmackDown review. Give
<v Speaker 2>me a follow on Twitter. I am at Amanda SD review.
<v Speaker 2>So after a week off, I'm back and as addicted,
<v Speaker 2>what a week it was. Let's talk really quick about
<v Speaker 2>Saturday Night's main event and evolution before we dive into
<v Speaker 2>our SmackDown review. Overall, I thought Saturday Night's main event
<v Speaker 2>was a little bit underwhelming. Gunther versus Goldberg for the title.
<v Speaker 2>This was a longer match than I thought it would be.
<v Speaker 2>Think it was about fourteen minutes, possibly having to fill
<v Speaker 2>after the seth thing, but a predictable guns the win
<v Speaker 2>and apparently Goldberg was very salty afterwards as his speech
<v Speaker 2>got cut off. But me rawlins versus Night and this
<v Speaker 2>is the one that got everyone talking for all the
<v Speaker 2>wrong reasons. Unfortunately, Seth seemed to get any injury, calling
<v Speaker 2>for the match to be cut short and a win
<v Speaker 2>for Night. There's a lot of speculation about whether the
<v Speaker 2>set injury is real and is it all at work.
<v Speaker 2>As far as I know, we haven't had anything officially
<v Speaker 2>confirmed either way as of yet, but there are really
<v Speaker 2>strong rumors doing the rounds on several other podcasts suggesting
<v Speaker 2>it's a work and that Seth springs a surprise attack
<v Speaker 2>at SummerSlam, cashing in the title, possibly screwing Punk in
<v Speaker 2>the process, etc. Etc. So let's see where we go
<v Speaker 2>with that one. Drew versus Randy was okay, I guess
<v Speaker 2>Randy beat Drew and we got the setup for the
<v Speaker 2>whole Jelly Roll Logan Paul match for SummerSlam. Let's see
<v Speaker 2>what they do with that. Solo versus Jimmy for the
<v Speaker 2>US title was a solo win, and then we move
<v Speaker 2>on to Evolution Eo versus Rea for the Women's title
<v Speaker 2>as predicted, an absolute banger of a match, interrupted by
<v Speaker 2>Naomi to make it a triple threat, and she took
<v Speaker 2>the title, which I thought was absolutely brilliant stuff. Loved it.
<v Speaker 2>Tiffy versus Trish for the title again as predicted, Tiffy retains,
<v Speaker 2>Becky versus Bailey versus lyra Of for the Intercontinental champions
<v Speaker 2>Becky retains twenty Women Battle Royale. We didn't get any
<v Speaker 2>surprises here in terms of returns. Nikki Bella didn't really
<v Speaker 2>do much and we got a Stephanie Vacker win setting
<v Speaker 2>her up for a title match in Paris, which is brilliant.
<v Speaker 2>She is, I think top of the list at the moment,
<v Speaker 2>absolutely a brilliant wrestler, Absolutely fantastic Jay versus Naomi no
<v Speaker 2>holds barb match. Jade takes the win, and this was
<v Speaker 2>great actually, as it left people thinking there's no way
<v Speaker 2>that Naomi would cash in, and then she did, which
<v Speaker 2>was fabulous. The Women's tag title match roxane and retained,
<v Speaker 2>but we have a Summer Slam match already set up
<v Speaker 2>for Charlotte and Bliss to take on the tag Chace.
<v Speaker 2>Our thought Evolution was very good and lived up to
<v Speaker 2>my expectations. Certainly, do we need it every year, Probably not,
<v Speaker 2>but I would love to see it on the calendar
<v Speaker 2>of WWE as a semi regular pla. And then of
<v Speaker 2>course we had our Roman return and what a pop
<v Speaker 2>he got when he first came out hooking up with Jay,
<v Speaker 2>getting revenge on the weasel that is Paul Hayman. Just brilliant.
<v Speaker 2>Are we headed for Roman Set at some point down
<v Speaker 2>the line? I think that's where we're going, But when
<v Speaker 2>and how we get there that's the fun. And we
<v Speaker 2>can't start the review without a word for Hulk Hogan, who,
<v Speaker 2>as you know, died this week age seventy one. For
<v Speaker 2>whatever you may have thought of him, the guy was
<v Speaker 2>a foundation stone of the WWE for sure. So let's
<v Speaker 2>get to it for our main event, and let's review
<v Speaker 2>the SmackDown that aired on July twenty fifth from Cleveland,
<v Speaker 2>and we start off with a tribute to Hogan, which
<v Speaker 2>Triple H delivered, and many of the roster past and
<v Speaker 2>present on the stage to pay tribute. And as we
<v Speaker 2>kick off tonight's show proper, we have Joe Tess trying
<v Speaker 2>to sum up a complex man's life talking about Hogan.
<v Speaker 2>Wade calls him the most important figure in WWE history.
<v Speaker 2>We don't get started, and we get logan Paul out
<v Speaker 2>in Cleveland is his hometown and even they hate him.
<v Speaker 2>We get it confirmed that Drew Logan Paul versus Randy
<v Speaker 2>and Jelly Row. Jelly Roll will be on Summer Slam Saturday.
<v Speaker 2>Paul starts off by telling Cleveland it's good to be home,
<v Speaker 2>and they bow him. He claims the thank you Hogan
<v Speaker 2>chance as thank you Logan chance, so typically classless from
<v Speaker 2>him as always well done Logan Paul. He says Cleveland
<v Speaker 2>raised him, but it didn't make him. In fact, he
<v Speaker 2>made the city. He says he isn't like them. They
<v Speaker 2>have nothing in common. He says he made it out
<v Speaker 2>and you all didn't. And he says tonight is about
<v Speaker 2>the community and he's giving them all the opportunity to
<v Speaker 2>see his show live. He says he's going to show
<v Speaker 2>jelly Roll what a real hometown hero looks like. At
<v Speaker 2>that point, we get jelly Roll's music kits, which is
<v Speaker 2>actually pretty catchy, and he comes out to a big
<v Speaker 2>reaction from the crowd. He tells, Paul, you think you're
<v Speaker 2>an inspiration. The only thing you have inspired is little
<v Speaker 2>lasshole kids filming themselves being little ass holes, which I
<v Speaker 2>thought was absolutely brilliant and oh my god, so true brilliant.
<v Speaker 2>He says he's sick of Logan acting like people from
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland actually like him. Logan tells him this is impulsive TV,
<v Speaker 2>so shut him out and show some respect. He says
<v Speaker 2>he brought him out so he understands who he is
<v Speaker 2>getting in the ring with at SummerSlam. Logan says that
<v Speaker 2>Jelly Roll has nothing to offer but a few cheap shots,
<v Speaker 2>So who does he think he is and what has
<v Speaker 2>he done? Jelly Roll tells him that he's going to
<v Speaker 2>put him in a body bag at SummerSlam. It's escalating
<v Speaker 2>fairly quickly. Jelly tells Logan that he has had to
<v Speaker 2>struggle his whole life, unlike Logan, who's never had to struggle,
<v Speaker 2>and he's been a silver spoon kid his whole life.
<v Speaker 2>Jelly says that he's getting in the ring for all
<v Speaker 2>the poor kids who have had to deal with high
<v Speaker 2>school jocks like Logan their whole life. He says he's
<v Speaker 2>getting in the ring to bring a light he is
<v Speaker 2>he has there as he's been a WWE fan for
<v Speaker 2>his whole life and it represented him and represented the
<v Speaker 2>whole crowd. Jelly Roll says that his story has inspired millions,
<v Speaker 2>and he calls Logan a prime pedaling punkast bitch, which
<v Speaker 2>again is just a quality line. At that point, Drew
<v Speaker 2>arrives and removes his shirt Hogan style and Jelly's back up.
<v Speaker 2>Rko makes his entrance. He looks like he's about to talk,
<v Speaker 2>he's got a mic in his hand, but instead he
<v Speaker 2>just chins Drew and however, we get the heels taking
<v Speaker 2>the advantage and Paul beats down on Jelly in the ring. Thankfully,
<v Speaker 2>Randy comes back and takes care of Drew, giving Jelly
<v Speaker 2>a chance to get some great shots in on Logan.
<v Speaker 2>Jelly it's give him his flowers phenomenal slam, which leaves
<v Speaker 2>us with Randy and Jelly standing tool. Now I think
<v Speaker 2>that this was an important opening segment. We were in,
<v Speaker 2>I think desperate need of some context and some story
<v Speaker 2>behind this, and now we have it, the silver Spoon
<v Speaker 2>Logan Paul versus the everyman Jelly roll. Yes, I like it.
<v Speaker 2>It's very good, old school good versus evil, and we
<v Speaker 2>have the two legends Drew and Randy in the ring
<v Speaker 2>to keep things on track in terms of wrestling. I
<v Speaker 2>wasn't bothered about this match at all, but this segment
<v Speaker 2>has worked a treat on me and now you can
<v Speaker 2>count me in very much a very very good, strong
<v Speaker 2>start to the show. We then get a vignette from
<v Speaker 2>Andreade and Phoenix, Andrede says he knows who Phoenix is,
<v Speaker 2>which is always and is your tag team partner. Phoenix
<v Speaker 2>says that he also knows who Andrada is well see
<v Speaker 2>above comment. They say they are money and they are
<v Speaker 2>on a different level. It's only a matter of time
<v Speaker 2>till the goal is around their waste. That's all I
<v Speaker 2>got to say about that. I'm not pretty bothered. Yes
<v Speaker 2>they're an awesome tag team, Yes they've got some wicked moves,
<v Speaker 2>but it does feel like they've been a bit shoehorned together.
<v Speaker 2>Hey look, maybe I'm wrong. Has been known like literally
<v Speaker 2>every week, But at this moment, I'm not really bothered
<v Speaker 2>by Andrada and Phoenix, apart from the fact that obviously
<v Speaker 2>they're completely fire in the ring. Anyway. Now we go
<v Speaker 2>to our first in ring wrestling action of the evening,
<v Speaker 2>and it's Bliss versus Prayers with Charlotte in toe getting
<v Speaker 2>a good reaction with black pom poms and I absolutely
<v Speaker 2>love it. The tag match is confirmed for Summer Islam.
<v Speaker 2>Saturday kicks off with Bliss in charge and Wade reminding
<v Speaker 2>us that last week, Charlotte got the win over Raquel
<v Speaker 2>with a nice assist from Bliss. We do start off
<v Speaker 2>with Bliss in charge and Charlotte stepping in when Raquel
<v Speaker 2>tries to get involved outside the ring. Bliss is absolutely
<v Speaker 2>handing Perez her ask as she goes for sister Abigail,
<v Speaker 2>only for Perez to break it by raking her eyes.
<v Speaker 2>We get Raquel with the blind side on Bliss as
<v Speaker 2>Charlotte again takes her out. Bliss is about to go
<v Speaker 2>for twisted Bliss this time, but it's distracted by Riquel,
<v Speaker 2>who returns to beat down Charlotte. Bliss changes tack and
<v Speaker 2>hits a sweet twisted Bliss on Raquel from the top
<v Speaker 2>to the outside, saving Charlotte. But off of that distraction,
<v Speaker 2>Roxanne gets a quick roll up with one hand on
<v Speaker 2>the ropes, gets the free crown and takes the win.
<v Speaker 2>So we go to the go Home Summer Slam show
<v Speaker 2>next week with this one at one win each. A
<v Speaker 2>decent match that didn't last long. I would like to
<v Speaker 2>have seen it go a bit longer, but I guess
<v Speaker 2>they're wanting to keep their powder dry for SummerSlam, and
<v Speaker 2>that's okay. Some nice developments in the Bliss Charlotte friendship
<v Speaker 2>in inverted commas and we are Defo being sold to
<v Speaker 2>Perez and Raquela. On the same page. After the match,
<v Speaker 2>we see that Bliss is bleeding from her nose, which
<v Speaker 2>looks kind of real, So I hope this is okay
<v Speaker 2>and she doesn't have a busted nose all our Becky
<v Speaker 2>Lynch all those years ago in twenty eighteen. Again though,
<v Speaker 2>good building for the Summer Slam match. Now backstage, we
<v Speaker 2>have Kathy Kelly who is with Jade Queen of the
<v Speaker 2>Ring my ass Cargill, sorry, but I'm still not buying
<v Speaker 2>that she is ready in any way, shape or form
<v Speaker 2>for any time. Kathy asks her how she is feeling
<v Speaker 2>a week out for my title shot. Jade, with a
<v Speaker 2>generic answer, says next week she will show everyone she
<v Speaker 2>is a natural born champion and walks away. Chelsea Green
<v Speaker 2>approaches Kathy and asks her is she sure she wants
<v Speaker 2>to talk about Jade. She says that she was screwed
<v Speaker 2>at Queen of the Ring. She says Jade is stupid
<v Speaker 2>and slow. Predictably Jade's behind, Chelsea punches her in the
<v Speaker 2>face and they brawl through Gorilla and towards the ring,
<v Speaker 2>Jade is carrying Chelsea on her shoulders tosses her into
<v Speaker 2>the ring where there is a The bell rings, so
<v Speaker 2>we have Chelsea versus Jade. She's weird. It just happened
<v Speaker 2>to be a ref hanging out in the ring doing nothing,
<v Speaker 2>and the bell just rang and there's a match. Who
<v Speaker 2>made the match? No, I'm not having this at all.
<v Speaker 2>This finishes quickly as Jade hits Jaded and wins. Jade's
<v Speaker 2>beaten down them by the secret Harvist. After the match,
<v Speaker 2>and for some unknown reason, Tiffy comes out to make
<v Speaker 2>the save. The two team up and clear the ring.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what and what what is the point of this?
<v Speaker 2>I guess they set up Chelsea to be squashed by
<v Speaker 2>Jade to make her look strong, But of all the
<v Speaker 2>people on a roster, why do Chelsea day? They could
<v Speaker 2>have literally used any other woman. It looks like they
<v Speaker 2>are decided on moving Chelsea into the mis role, which
<v Speaker 2>is a massive shame as she's brilliant and why in
<v Speaker 2>storyline world would Tivvy come out and save Jade. Surely
<v Speaker 2>Jade getting a pre Summat slam beatdown is good news
<v Speaker 2>for Tiffy. Weird and don't like it. I fear we
<v Speaker 2>are getting WWE. They're just going to push Jade to
<v Speaker 2>the top, whatever happens. For me. This has a massive
<v Speaker 2>whiff of Vince pushing Roman to the moon pre his
<v Speaker 2>OTC babyface Roman, regardless of how everyone else felt. Basically,
<v Speaker 2>we're being instructed by WWE that Jade is awesome and
<v Speaker 2>therefore she's getting pushed. And I just think sy backstage
<v Speaker 2>now and we have blissed. She's been comforted by Charlotte,
<v Speaker 2>who says maybe they can be friends after they win
<v Speaker 2>at SummerSlam. And I have to say, again, brilliant stuff
<v Speaker 2>by WWE with Charlotte here. They have turned me one
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent round on Charlotte and I am now rooting
<v Speaker 2>for her and Bliss as a team. And yes, I
<v Speaker 2>am an absolute mark. We've now got Cody in his
<v Speaker 2>new dressed down look, which I think is pretty cool.
<v Speaker 2>I'm enjoying him being a bit less politician. He says.
<v Speaker 2>He comes to the ring and he says, yesterday WWE
<v Speaker 2>lost a giant in Hogan. He again acknowledges the complexity
<v Speaker 2>of feeling around him, but says his contributions are massive
<v Speaker 2>and he thanks Hogan for everything. He goes on to
<v Speaker 2>talk about the match between him and Sena at SummerSlam.
<v Speaker 2>He says it will be violent, and sometimes that is
<v Speaker 2>what doing the right thing looks like. He says that
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't want to wrestle this Scena. He doesn't want
<v Speaker 2>to fight a guy who didn't want this match and
<v Speaker 2>is counting down the day till he's out of the door.
<v Speaker 2>He wants to fight the real Scena. He says, the
<v Speaker 2>title Seena has is the biggest and best in the
<v Speaker 2>business and that means something. He says he wants the
<v Speaker 2>old Sena who used to talk to Stu on the
<v Speaker 2>way to the ring where the title the right way
<v Speaker 2>round and run down to the ring so they can
<v Speaker 2>beat the hustle, loyalty, and respect out of each other.
<v Speaker 2>He says he wants the real Scena as he needs
<v Speaker 2>to know that the story meant something and was real.
<v Speaker 2>So if some channels would be to believed, we apparently, maybe,
<v Speaker 2>allegedly possibly might be getting a double turn at Summer Slam,
<v Speaker 2>with Cody finally turning. Heel, now, I am not one
<v Speaker 2>of those who thinks that would be good. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>we turn him and we turned Sena. Fine, Okay, Sena
<v Speaker 2>leaves in December, and Cody is still heel. I think
<v Speaker 2>if you look at the roster, we are really heavy
<v Speaker 2>on heels right now. So I'm not sure the promo
<v Speaker 2>were short and sweet, a bit more build. I guess
<v Speaker 2>nothink we didn't already really know, but we keep pressing
<v Speaker 2>to Summer Slam, and I'm assuming surely we must have
<v Speaker 2>a Sena appearance on next week's SmackDown. We get a
<v Speaker 2>recap then of last Friday's slightly on car crash angle
<v Speaker 2>on what led up to the still cage match at
<v Speaker 2>Summer Slam and Solo's quote unquote arrest by some real
<v Speaker 2>dodgy looking police, and a promo from Fatou, who tells
<v Speaker 2>Solo that he loved him, but he tried to get
<v Speaker 2>him frayed and sent back to jail, and he said
<v Speaker 2>he was never ever going to go back to jail,
<v Speaker 2>he says, though he doesn't mind getting locked in a
<v Speaker 2>steel cage for the US title, and he's going to
<v Speaker 2>dog walk his ass now into the mis. Yes, you've
<v Speaker 2>heard me, the mis, he says. Six weeks ago Fatou
<v Speaker 2>took him out, and it's given him time to remember
<v Speaker 2>who he is. He says he isn't a target, He's
<v Speaker 2>a main character, and with that in mind, he's set
<v Speaker 2>up a match tonight against Fatou. Now I'd forgotten Misses
<v Speaker 2>from Cleveland, so I guess this was nailed on. That
<v Speaker 2>match is coming up now, and we get miss out
<v Speaker 2>to a decent hometown pop. Before we go to that match,
<v Speaker 2>we get a promo from Priest, who is building his
<v Speaker 2>beef with Black. They have a match next week, but
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately as only on SmackDown, not at Suna Slam. Let's
<v Speaker 2>see how that match between those two goes could be awesome,
<v Speaker 2>could be a complete damp squib, but I'm interested to see,
<v Speaker 2>as you guys know what wwe do with Black and
<v Speaker 2>similarly with Priest, because they're both great talents. We then
<v Speaker 2>get back to this match. Fatou is out and gets
<v Speaker 2>a much bigger pop than hometown Mis and I fear
<v Speaker 2>for them is here. He may be about to get
<v Speaker 2>his head ripped off. This one starts off with Mis
<v Speaker 2>trying his best, but Fatou predictably beating the what is
<v Speaker 2>out of him? The crowd one hundred on Fatoo side
<v Speaker 2>and he is kicking ass. We get Solo and his
<v Speaker 2>MFT coming down. To the ring, which distracts Fattou, allowing
<v Speaker 2>Miz to attack and start making some in into the match.
<v Speaker 2>Fatu flies out of the ring, taking out the MFT
<v Speaker 2>and Miss Fatuu ends it quickly with a pop up
<v Speaker 2>Simo and the pin getting the win, but in our heartbeat,
<v Speaker 2>the MFT are in the ring and beating down Fatou.
<v Speaker 2>This brings out Jimmy with a chair to make the
<v Speaker 2>save and he takes out the MFT, but is leveled
<v Speaker 2>by Talatonga and the rest of the gang then carry
<v Speaker 2>on where they left off, but Fatou, as we've come
<v Speaker 2>to expect, launches an awesome fight back and ty Solo
<v Speaker 2>lot of a chair around his neck and looks to
<v Speaker 2>hip the hit the hip attack, but it's flattened by
<v Speaker 2>Talatonga on his way across the ring. We end up
<v Speaker 2>with Solo and his MFT standing tall over Jacob Fattuu
<v Speaker 2>and chops in after him. So I'm going to go
<v Speaker 2>early here and say I think we're getting a Fattou
<v Speaker 2>win at Summer Slam without his crew. Solo is unfortunately
<v Speaker 2>barely average these days, and Miss, on his return from
<v Speaker 2>injury into his hometown, is once again fed into the storyline.
<v Speaker 2>And chewed up and now do you see what I
<v Speaker 2>mean about the path of Chelsea Green and the miss
<v Speaker 2>It's like they're just tools. Backstage, Kathy has the Profits
<v Speaker 2>with BFAB. She asked for their perspective on tonight's match.
<v Speaker 2>BFAB says they are a specific enemy and need to
<v Speaker 2>be dealt with in a specific way. Dorkin stays it
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter as they are next. So hang on, wait, wait, wait,
<v Speaker 2>If Beefab is now back with the Profit profits, did
<v Speaker 2>we decide that her and Meeching are no longer a thing?
<v Speaker 2>That's a shame. That was looking interesting. They were both
<v Speaker 2>thriving in that environment. Anyway. Profits are interrupted by Dy
<v Speaker 2>who say they blew their title run. They should step
<v Speaker 2>aside and DIY handle it. Candice tells them they have
<v Speaker 2>a plan and all they have to do is stay
<v Speaker 2>out of the way. We then get a trailer for Unreal,
<v Speaker 2>which starts this week. Now, for anyone who's been living
<v Speaker 2>under a rock, this looks to tell the story of
<v Speaker 2>the writing room and how all this comes about in WWE.
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of contention around the WWE fans podcast, Twitter, etc.
<v Speaker 2>Is this a genuine look behind the curtain or is
<v Speaker 2>this also part of storyline? I don't know. I'm really
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to it in equal measure of not looking
<v Speaker 2>forward to it. It feels like Christmas might be about
<v Speaker 2>to get ruined. But also I really really want to
<v Speaker 2>have a peek behind the curtain, see what goes on,
<v Speaker 2>see what the processes are, the thought that goes on.
<v Speaker 2>So I will watch it, possibly like I used to
<v Speaker 2>watch words or gummage as a kid. Which is throwing
<v Speaker 2>my fingers and slightly behind the sofa because I'm not
<v Speaker 2>sure I really want to know, but I'm certainly intrigued
<v Speaker 2>and more wwe programming that we have got to make
<v Speaker 2>time for in our week, Thank God for Netflix. Backstage,
<v Speaker 2>we have Selena facing up to Julia. Yes, yawn, Selena.
<v Speaker 2>We have Keana James as her management and spokesperson, and
<v Speaker 2>she tells Lena that she will get her rematch next week. Ugh,
<v Speaker 2>let's hope that that marks the end of that and
<v Speaker 2>let Julia go on to face any of the other
<v Speaker 2>massively impressive women on the roster. I thought we did
<v Speaker 2>away with rematches for this very reason. It's just we
<v Speaker 2>get caught in a vortex of rematch, rematch, rematch and
<v Speaker 2>the same stories over and over, so let's hope this
<v Speaker 2>is a one and done next week Julia retaining hopefully
<v Speaker 2>against Selena. Now to our main event this evening, which
<v Speaker 2>is the tag title match Why It's six versus Andrade
<v Speaker 2>and Ray Phoenix. This one kicks off with the Challenges
<v Speaker 2>getting ahead and Andrade managing to hit three amigos, but
<v Speaker 2>Loomis and Gay Gaysey excuse me, quickly managed to fight
<v Speaker 2>back some impressive moves from Phoenix. Phoenix though a kip
<v Speaker 2>up straight into a superkick which looked really really cool.
<v Speaker 2>A double tag brings in Andrade, who does well, taking
<v Speaker 2>out both the tag team champs and getting a very
<v Speaker 2>close cover. Gasey and Loumas, though take back the upper
<v Speaker 2>hand and get a cover which is only broken at
<v Speaker 2>the last nanosecond by Phoenix. Andrade hits the message and
<v Speaker 2>to be honest, looks to have it one, but the
<v Speaker 2>ref is yanked from the ring by Niki Cross, who
<v Speaker 2>finds it all hilarious, so this one goes to a
<v Speaker 2>dq finish. We get the bell rung almost immediately, which
<v Speaker 2>means the wy At six retain, and after the bell
<v Speaker 2>we get Eric Rowan come to the ring and one
<v Speaker 2>by one, takes out all the manager, all the members
<v Speaker 2>of the Tag locker room who come to the ring
<v Speaker 2>one by one and have a go at him. Finally,
<v Speaker 2>the Prophets come out to a decent pop actually, and
<v Speaker 2>seem to be making headway against Rowan, but Nick Or
<v Speaker 2>just makes an appearance with his mic at ringside with
<v Speaker 2>DIY and it's all gone completely crazy. Nick says that
<v Speaker 2>he has had enough of this. Despite what he'd set
<v Speaker 2>up a couple of weeks ago, everyone seems to still
<v Speaker 2>want to go, so he makes a much match for SummerSlam,
<v Speaker 2>and it's tables, ladders and chairs for the whole Tag Division.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that is going to be a spectacle and
<v Speaker 2>a half with the athleticism and the moves that some
<v Speaker 2>of these Tag Division partnerships are capable of. Blind me,
<v Speaker 2>I'm relieved I don't have to summarize that much for
<v Speaker 2>the podcast. It will be absolute carnage. But what a
<v Speaker 2>match that is going to be. That is going to
<v Speaker 2>be something quite specialized. Really looking forward to that. Absolutely
<v Speaker 2>one for the ages. I'm sure so well done WWE.
<v Speaker 2>The show comes to an end with the whole Tag
<v Speaker 2>team division brawling. We've got what looks like every producer,
<v Speaker 2>every referee, every WWE official out there trying to break
<v Speaker 2>things up, but it is absolute carnage as the WYAT
<v Speaker 2>six make their way away from the action, still whole
<v Speaker 2>in their tag team titles. And I don't think you
<v Speaker 2>can call who's going to win that TLC tag team
<v Speaker 2>match at Summer Slam. Yeah, it could be any of them.
<v Speaker 2>They are all super supremely talented, and all I know is, yes,
<v Speaker 2>please sign me up. That's going to be awesome. We
<v Speaker 2>also got tonight the day by day card of Summer Slam,
<v Speaker 2>so we know who's going to be on the Saturday,
<v Speaker 2>who's going to be on the Sunday. So obviously on
<v Speaker 2>next week's show we'll be making some predictions, so we'll
<v Speaker 2>go through who's on Saturday and who's on the Sunday.
<v Speaker 2>So I thought tonight was a great show, some good building,
<v Speaker 2>some good story development, not a massive amount of actual wrestling,
<v Speaker 2>but I don't mind that so much. We are on
<v Speaker 2>route to the second biggest pearly of the year and
<v Speaker 2>the stories need to get out there and be told,
<v Speaker 2>particularly as this is the first two night SummerSlam. There's
<v Speaker 2>an awful lot of quite detailed storytelling that needs to
<v Speaker 2>go on there, So I'm okay with there being a
<v Speaker 2>more minimum amount of wrestling on tonight's show, as long
<v Speaker 2>as that doesn't become the norm, because obviously we love
<v Speaker 2>the stories, but we also really love the wrestling, which is,
<v Speaker 2>let's be honest, why we're all watch him. So we
<v Speaker 2>continue to go home show next week, and I for one,
<v Speaker 2>am very excited about this Summer Slam. I want to
<v Speaker 2>say a massive luck to the Lionesses who face Spain
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow afternoon. We would love to see them retain their
<v Speaker 2>European championships and bring football home once again. So come
<v Speaker 2>on the Lionesses, and anyway, guys, that does it for
<v Speaker 2>me this week. Reach out on Twitter let me know
<v Speaker 2>what you thought of this show, which I thought was
<v Speaker 2>quite a different show, and I'd be interested to see
<v Speaker 2>what you thought. I am AMANDASD review, so reach out,
<v Speaker 2>let's talk wrestling. That does it for this week's show.
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for having me in your ears once again,
<v Speaker 2>and remember, until next time, be kind to come on
<v Speaker 2>the linuses.
