WWE SmackDown Review: Drew McIntyre Returns, Jacob Fatu Goes Through a Table, Trish Stratus vs Tiffany Stratton for Evolution

<v Speaker 1>Listen is WWE superstar Drew mcintyr and you're listening to
<v Speaker 1>the WWE podcast show, the one that everybody wants me.
<v Speaker 2>So yours this is You're gonna acknowledge me. Good morning,
<v Speaker 2>good afternoon, good evening. Hello, whatever time it is with
<v Speaker 2>you and wherever you are. Thank you for downloading this
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown review. It's 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, your host of this SmackDown review, and please
<v Speaker 2>remember that I'm back on Twitter. Give me a follow.
<v Speaker 2>I am at Amanda SD review. So let's have a
<v Speaker 2>really quick look back the card for Night of Champions.
<v Speaker 2>Let's see how we did with the predictions. So Sena
<v Speaker 2>versus Punk I called this one right, a Sena win.
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a bit of a weird match
<v Speaker 2>with a handshake and some hesitancy from Sena. I guess
<v Speaker 2>that's a return if you like, of Sena and we
<v Speaker 2>wait to see what's going to happen. Randy versus Cody
<v Speaker 2>in the King of the Ring Final. I was wrong
<v Speaker 2>with this one. This one was a Cody win, and
<v Speaker 2>maybe this one's ramping up for the title to come
<v Speaker 2>back to Cody. There is talk of a double turn
<v Speaker 2>at SummerSlam, so see what happens there. Ascar versus Jade
<v Speaker 2>in the Queen of the Ring Final, wrong again with
<v Speaker 2>this one. I went for Ascar and Jade took it
<v Speaker 2>in what was I thought, in my opinion, quite an
<v Speaker 2>underwhelming match, and to be honest, an underwhelming result. I
<v Speaker 2>don't see Jade in the title picture just yet, so
<v Speaker 2>perhaps that one's a bit of a waste. Fatoo versus
<v Speaker 2>Solo for the US Championships. Wrong again, solo one with
<v Speaker 2>help from a returning Tongoaloa and a new family member.
<v Speaker 2>Re versus Raquel in a street fight. A few got
<v Speaker 2>this one right, rear win and a brilliant match. Definitely
<v Speaker 2>candidate for Match of the night for me. Sammy versus
<v Speaker 2>Carrying Across again wrong, we had a Sammy win here,
<v Speaker 2>So maintaining my absolute terrible form in all kinds of
<v Speaker 2>prediction in WWE, I did terribly. I thought this was
<v Speaker 2>an okay ple, not one that I'd ever rewatch. As
<v Speaker 2>I said, Match of the night for me. Rea versus Raquel.
<v Speaker 2>And we've got the news that Royal Rumble next year
<v Speaker 2>is coming from Saudi yikes, I love Royal rumble. That's
<v Speaker 2>bit conflicting. I guess money talks, but ugh, yeah, how
<v Speaker 2>do we feel about that? I'm not sure. Okay, let's
<v Speaker 2>get to it and review the SmackDown that aired on
<v Speaker 2>fourth of July. And by the way, Happy Independence Day
<v Speaker 2>to all of you from the US. And we were
<v Speaker 2>a pre recorded show from Pittsburgh, which I assume followed
<v Speaker 2>immediately on from RAW on Monday. Joe starts off the
<v Speaker 2>show by welcome him us to the special July fourth edition, which,
<v Speaker 2>as I said, I think has been pre recorded so
<v Speaker 2>that all the wrestlers and the production crew, etc. Could
<v Speaker 2>have the day off on the fourth of July, which
<v Speaker 2>is very nice from trips, and I don't think we
<v Speaker 2>would have seen such behavior in the Vincira. We start
<v Speaker 2>off tonight's show with Solo arriving in a car and
<v Speaker 2>Jacob to attacking him and his new gang, giving him
<v Speaker 2>a pretty decent beatdown before the officials and Nicoldos make
<v Speaker 2>it out to the car park and break them up.
<v Speaker 2>He's obviously fuming about being cheated out of the US
<v Speaker 2>title at Night of Champions, So I think this is
<v Speaker 2>shaping up to be a great story watching him chase
<v Speaker 2>and terrorized Solo to get his title back. We ain't
<v Speaker 2>come inside and kick things off properly with Cody, the
<v Speaker 2>new King of the Ring coming out to the ring,
<v Speaker 2>and we have a recap of the King of the
<v Speaker 2>Ring match and a reminder that Cody will face Seena
<v Speaker 2>at Summer Slam. Love the graphics for Summer Slam, by
<v Speaker 2>the way, very cool, loving it. Cody to the ring
<v Speaker 2>with his crown. We don't seem to put these on
<v Speaker 2>our head anymore. I suppose we're worried about messing our
<v Speaker 2>hair up. But he's holding it and he points out
<v Speaker 2>a band that was on's on his wrist and tells
<v Speaker 2>everyone that a sick kid with kemia gave it to him,
<v Speaker 2>and he gets the crowd to cheer for the kid,
<v Speaker 2>which is very nice and very Cody. He gets to
<v Speaker 2>business and asks what the crowns stand for. He says,
<v Speaker 2>he left a piece of himself in the ring when
<v Speaker 2>he faced Jay, and he left a piece of himself
<v Speaker 2>in the ring in DA when he faced Randy. He says,
<v Speaker 2>it stands for where we've been in the previous kings,
<v Speaker 2>like Bookati, Bret Hart, and Triple h and it stands
<v Speaker 2>for where they are going and that summer Slam where
<v Speaker 2>he can meet John Cena. Before he gets any further,
<v Speaker 2>we get Randy's music hit and he comes out looking
<v Speaker 2>very somber. Indeed, as he's making his way to the ring,
<v Speaker 2>we get Joke and Wade remind us about Randy's failure
<v Speaker 2>or I guess that's a strong word say, inability to
<v Speaker 2>punt Cody, but how Cody had no such reluctance using
<v Speaker 2>the exposed exposed term buckle to his advantage. Randy says
<v Speaker 2>to Cody that for weeks and weeks he told him
<v Speaker 2>that he would do whatever it took to win a
<v Speaker 2>King of the Ring and he wouldn't hesitate. But at
<v Speaker 2>Night of Champions, he had him lined up for a punt,
<v Speaker 2>and he did hesitate. He tells Cody that he did
<v Speaker 2>manage to pull the trigger and for that he respects him.
<v Speaker 2>He also says he won't forget it, but he respects him.
<v Speaker 2>He says what he wants is for Cody to promise
<v Speaker 2>that he will go on and beat John Cena and
<v Speaker 2>not squander this opportunity. We then get Drew's music here
<v Speaker 2>and a surprise return from him and I'm loving his
<v Speaker 2>new merch, his new T shirt says bored at work
<v Speaker 2>and I am so getting that and wearing it on
<v Speaker 2>my next team's call. Drew does the whole you hung up, no,
<v Speaker 2>you hung up, you hung up thing to Cody and Randy,
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was actually pretty funny. He says, they
<v Speaker 2>sound pathetic and when did this beat at male energy
<v Speaker 2>take over WWE? And thank god the alpha has returned.
<v Speaker 2>He says to Randy, you know you lost. You bottled
<v Speaker 2>the punt. He says. Cody's been buttering up for months
<v Speaker 2>like a true politician with a hug. But then a
<v Speaker 2>knife in the back, he says, speaking of backs, remember
<v Speaker 2>how Cody attacked Randy's back at the first opportunity when
<v Speaker 2>he tweaked it in Riddar. He asks Randy what the
<v Speaker 2>hell happened to him? He says, the legend of Randy
<v Speaker 2>Orton is dead. He turns his attention into Cody and
<v Speaker 2>tells him that he wants him to win at SummerSlam
<v Speaker 2>so Drew can face him and take the title off him.
<v Speaker 2>He says he won't hesitate, and as he turns around,
<v Speaker 2>he is blindsided by Randy, who drops him with an RKO.
<v Speaker 2>We a in the segment with Randy and Cody having
<v Speaker 2>a brief face to face, and I don't think we
<v Speaker 2>had done with those two for a start, but what
<v Speaker 2>a great opener, and what surprise having drew back, And
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind at all him inserting himself into this picture.
<v Speaker 2>This is all looking very nice in the run up
<v Speaker 2>to SummerSlam and potentially even after SummerSlam. Now we now
<v Speaker 2>go to backstage where we have Charlotte, who I'm thinking
<v Speaker 2>has maybe tweaked her look the last few times we've
<v Speaker 2>seen her. She's been a lot less ball down and
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more sporty svice, which is cool. She's
<v Speaker 2>talking to Nick and asking about a title opportunity. Shock
<v Speaker 2>hold the front page. Charlotte Flair asks about a title opportunity.
<v Speaker 2>She assumes it's Tiffany's title. Nick tells her that is
<v Speaker 2>that Tiffany is still deciding who she's going to face Evolution,
<v Speaker 2>but in the meantime, he has tag team titles number
<v Speaker 2>one contender match facing the Secret Harvis Meeting and befab.
<v Speaker 2>Charlotte looks seriously confused as Nick tells her if she wins,
<v Speaker 2>her and her tag team partner will have a title
<v Speaker 2>shot at Evolution, and we will see where this is going. Right,
<v Speaker 2>as the camera pans out, we've got Bliss standing there
<v Speaker 2>and she tells Charlotte, you're welcome, and Charlotte says again
<v Speaker 2>that she doesn't want to be friends, and Bliss says
<v Speaker 2>she doesn't want to Ela either. Charlotte tells Bliss, you
<v Speaker 2>know I don't sheared the spotlight and guys, this was
<v Speaker 2>the line of the century for me. Bliss says, decide
<v Speaker 2>to break it to you, but you haven't been in
<v Speaker 2>the spotlight for a long time. This is an opportunity
<v Speaker 2>if you just step back into it, which I thought
<v Speaker 2>was just absolutely brilliant, so true. Nick tells Charlotte, let
<v Speaker 2>him do his job and decide what's best for her.
<v Speaker 2>Nick tells Bliss, good luck with that. Charlotte agrees to
<v Speaker 2>team with her. Interesting, So let's see how that one
<v Speaker 2>pans out in the match tonight. And we have that
<v Speaker 2>match coming up now with the Secret Harvist meeting a
<v Speaker 2>VPA versus Bliss and Blair for a Number one contenders match,
<v Speaker 2>which will be held for the tag titles at Evolution.
<v Speaker 2>Before that starts, though, se Drew walking backstage stelling the
<v Speaker 2>effects of the RKO like a trooper and looking typically raging.
<v Speaker 2>He says to Nick, I want Randy, but Nick says
<v Speaker 2>not tonight. Randy's left, but you can have him at
<v Speaker 2>Saturday Night's main event next week. So we then get
<v Speaker 2>Fatoo with Nick, who says if Fatou gets himself a partner,
<v Speaker 2>he can face two of Solo's gang later on. We
<v Speaker 2>then get Jimmy walking by Fatou, who offers to tag
<v Speaker 2>with him. Fatoo tells him can he get in where
<v Speaker 2>he fits in? Jimmy says, yeat and they shake hands.
<v Speaker 2>So we've got there an alliance between Jimmy and Fatou.
<v Speaker 2>Could that be the start of the return of the bloodline,
<v Speaker 2>but it's certainly going to be an interesting match later on.
<v Speaker 2>Now back to this woman's tag match, and I have
<v Speaker 2>to revise my earliest statement. Flare out wearing a very
<v Speaker 2>ott orange gown. She looks like fire, not in a
<v Speaker 2>good way. We kick off with Bliss in with meeching
<v Speaker 2>and Piper, who looks to have had a spa day.
<v Speaker 2>She's got a new hairdoo and he's looking like she's
<v Speaker 2>had a bath in fake turn and before we can
<v Speaker 2>start the match, Flair though with the blind tag. She
<v Speaker 2>gets in and starts off meeching as has been the
<v Speaker 2>case recently, making a good account of herself against the
<v Speaker 2>other two girls in the ring, way talking her up
<v Speaker 2>on coms saying she is the most underrated woman in
<v Speaker 2>the locker room. She's good for sure, but that might
<v Speaker 2>be a bit of a stretch. We get the secret
<v Speaker 2>Harvis taking control as all men outside the ring now
<v Speaker 2>got Piper in the ring giving out sent on to
<v Speaker 2>everyone as meeting managers to get the tag to be
<v Speaker 2>Fab who to be fair to beef Fab once again
<v Speaker 2>is putting in an excellent performance with some great news.
<v Speaker 2>Bliss tags herself in and is rolling, taking out Albert
<v Speaker 2>and Beefab. She's just about to hit sister Abigail, but
<v Speaker 2>Albert breaks it up before she can. We got Flare
<v Speaker 2>back in. She hits a spear on Piper and goes
<v Speaker 2>up and hits the moon Salt, but she isn't legal
<v Speaker 2>as whilst on the top rope, she patronizingly tapped Bliss
<v Speaker 2>on the head. Blister HiT's twisted Bliss and gets the
<v Speaker 2>win for the team of Flair and Bliss. So what
<v Speaker 2>do we think of this pairing. I guess we could
<v Speaker 2>see it coming a mile off, right. I've been building
<v Speaker 2>to it not so subtly for weeks now. I'm pleased
<v Speaker 2>that Bliss It's going to be an evolution. I would
<v Speaker 2>love to see how win a title, even if it
<v Speaker 2>is with Charlotte. I guess do we think they take
<v Speaker 2>the win? I'm not so sure. I guess it depends
<v Speaker 2>on what the long term plan is for the Judgment
<v Speaker 2>day and specifically Raquel Roxane Perez without Live So let's see,
<v Speaker 2>but it's interesting for sure. We now go backstage where
<v Speaker 2>we have Nick telling off the tag teams like a
<v Speaker 2>teacher for screwing up last week's tag match between the
<v Speaker 2>Wyatts and the Street Profits. He said, all you had
<v Speaker 2>to do was stay out of the way. They all
<v Speaker 2>start arguing back with Nick saying they only wanted to
<v Speaker 2>help save the division. He says, you've made it very
<v Speaker 2>clear that you will want a piece of the Wyatts,
<v Speaker 2>so you're going to get it. He makes a match
<v Speaker 2>for one member of each team to make a team
<v Speaker 2>effectively and to face the Wyatts in an eight man
<v Speaker 2>tag match tonight. If the Wyats win, they are back
<v Speaker 2>in the title picture. So that's fun and unexpected. I
<v Speaker 2>think that should be a pretty awesome match, and that
<v Speaker 2>is coming up right now. So it's the Wyatts. So
<v Speaker 2>we've got Dexter, Loomis, Joe Gacy, Uncle Howdy and Rowan
<v Speaker 2>versus the team of Montez, Ford, Berto Gargano and saberm
<v Speaker 2>And this is going to be frenetic and starts off
<v Speaker 2>with Berto in with Great Gacy. Quite a difference in
<v Speaker 2>styles here as Berto makes tag. We've got Dexter in,
<v Speaker 2>who literally just chucked Berto into the corner, and we've
<v Speaker 2>got Grgano in. And remember these two have quite the
<v Speaker 2>history in NXT, although definitely not this version of Dexter.
<v Speaker 2>Now got all eight men in the ring and the
<v Speaker 2>mass brawl kicks off and it's all breaking down. Very
<v Speaker 2>early on, the Wyatts have got Ford in the ring
<v Speaker 2>and are given him quite the beatdown after they smashed
<v Speaker 2>him outside the ring earlier. He's in desperate need of
<v Speaker 2>a tag. He finally manages to get the tag to
<v Speaker 2>save him, who comes in hot, managing to put away
<v Speaker 2>most of the Wyat six single handedly. He gets a
<v Speaker 2>pin on Gacy, which Dexter has to break up, and
<v Speaker 2>this one moves to a finish as we get Rowan
<v Speaker 2>entering the match and basically annihilates the field. Rowan hits
<v Speaker 2>the iron Claw slam on saving getting the win for
<v Speaker 2>the Wyat Six. So that puts them back in the
<v Speaker 2>title picture, which is cool, and they really seem to
<v Speaker 2>have shaken up what was already a pretty strong tag
<v Speaker 2>division here on SmackDown. So happy days for tag team fans.
<v Speaker 2>We've got plenty of tag matches tonight, which is a
<v Speaker 2>nice change. We now have got a promo from our
<v Speaker 2>new US Champion, Julia, And in all the excitement in
<v Speaker 2>Inverted commas of Night of Champions, it had slipped my
<v Speaker 2>mind that Julia had taken the title from Zelena last week,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm rehappy about it all over again. Anyway, we
<v Speaker 2>have a promo from her which is pre recorded. She
<v Speaker 2>says she understands what the title means, and she says
<v Speaker 2>she knows opponents will now keep coming at her, but
<v Speaker 2>she is ready. She says, blue flames don't flicker, they
<v Speaker 2>burn everything down. She says she will take the title
<v Speaker 2>where no one else has before. And this was a
<v Speaker 2>pretty cool promo and she is basically asking for her
<v Speaker 2>next challenger. Don't know who that is going to be,
<v Speaker 2>but interested to see. The possibilities are pretty much endless
<v Speaker 2>of who that could be, So be interested to hear
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts on that. Look me up on to or X.
<v Speaker 2>Let me know who you think might be Julia's first challenger.
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping she's going to have a good long run,
<v Speaker 2>but let's see, this is a non shot. None that
<v Speaker 2>stop should tonight with the new shorter version. I'm not complaining.
<v Speaker 2>And now we've got Tiffy out, and I believe she's
<v Speaker 2>going to be announcing who she's going to face Evolution.
<v Speaker 2>I got no idea, but I have heard another podcast
<v Speaker 2>this week that Trisha's around and was at this taping,
<v Speaker 2>so I think that probably fits. Tiffy comes out and
<v Speaker 2>says that since becoming champion, there's been a target on
<v Speaker 2>her back and she was able to be the last
<v Speaker 2>woman standing against Nia Jack. She says she will beat
<v Speaker 2>Jay at SummerSlam, and tonight we'll pick her Evolution opponent opponent,
<v Speaker 2>and before that happens, we get Jay coming out comes
<v Speaker 2>really talking Jade up. On her way down to the ring.
<v Speaker 2>She says to Tiffy that she sees her, she likes
<v Speaker 2>what she sees a good champion beaten Nia. She says,
<v Speaker 2>tonight you've got a choice to make, but she's carefully
<v Speaker 2>because she's wrong, and you won't even be at SummerSlam.
<v Speaker 2>Tiffy says she's pleased to see Jade here and she
<v Speaker 2>has a surprise and Trisha's music kits. She makes her
<v Speaker 2>way up to the ring. Tiffy says that she would
<v Speaker 2>like to offer Trish the chance to face her Evolution
<v Speaker 2>for the title, and Trisha goes on to say that
<v Speaker 2>Evolution holds a very special place in her heart and
<v Speaker 2>symbolizes everything that they fought for back in the day,
<v Speaker 2>when even to get another a single women's match on
<v Speaker 2>the card with a challenge for them. She thanks Tiffy
<v Speaker 2>and says, my kids have never seen me as a champion.
<v Speaker 2>Tiffy says it won't be easy. It's not the attitude
<v Speaker 2>ear anymore. So it doesn't matter if it's Trish, Evolution
<v Speaker 2>or Jade at SummerSlam. Everyone knows that the WWE universe
<v Speaker 2>runs on Tiffy time, and that segment ends there. As
<v Speaker 2>I've said, I'm not completely sure that Jade's the right person,
<v Speaker 2>but obviously WWE want to push her and I guess
<v Speaker 2>why not have a new face in the title picture.
<v Speaker 2>So Tiffy and Trish is fine. I'm pleased to see
<v Speaker 2>Trisha on the card at Evolution. She deserves it and honestly,
<v Speaker 2>I guess we know she's unlikely to win as Tiffy
<v Speaker 2>versus Jade A SummerSlam is a big match, but never
<v Speaker 2>say never. It's certainly possible. You could have Trish win,
<v Speaker 2>Naomi cashing. It could all change. So although it feels unlikely,
<v Speaker 2>you just never know, and I like it. It's exciting. Right on.
<v Speaker 2>Now we have Solo on a vignette giving himself a
<v Speaker 2>round of applause. He's such an absolute tool. He says,
<v Speaker 2>Happy Birthday to America. From the new US champ. He
<v Speaker 2>introduces the new member of his quote unquote family, Talatonga.
<v Speaker 2>He says, this is nothing like a bloodline. This group
<v Speaker 2>is something special. He says, now his family is complete.
<v Speaker 2>So I guess that possibly they finally exhausted the seeming
<v Speaker 2>the endless pool of relatives and dubiously related to people
<v Speaker 2>to bring in. Maybe this is it now, but there
<v Speaker 2>could be a Tonguan anywhere, so who knows. We get
<v Speaker 2>Tris's trick. Sorry, put my teeth in and we get
<v Speaker 2>Trisha backstage who has a quick chat with Jade, who
<v Speaker 2>basically says that she will see her at Saslam. But
<v Speaker 2>then we get Jade blindsided by crazy Naomi who wallops
<v Speaker 2>her with the brief case. Nick comes in, she says
<v Speaker 2>that she's sick of it and she wants Naomi, which
<v Speaker 2>sets us up with a no holds barred match at Evolution,
<v Speaker 2>and our ringside for the next match, we've got Phraxium
<v Speaker 2>versus and and Ray Phoenix. This one kicks off at
<v Speaker 2>three million miles an hour and after some early very
<v Speaker 2>breathless action, we get awful guys in the ring throwing hands.
<v Speaker 2>We then get Phraxium taking a bit of control as
<v Speaker 2>they both died from the ring to take out both
<v Speaker 2>Andreda and Phoenix tag team. Pedigree of Phraxium is showing though,
<v Speaker 2>as they managed to keep on the front foot with
<v Speaker 2>a tag to Andra Day, though he manages to turn
<v Speaker 2>things around, hitting the Three Amigos on Nathan Fraser. Phoenix
<v Speaker 2>hits a massive frog splash, earning them a really close
<v Speaker 2>to count. Praxium pulling off a stunning combination of moves
<v Speaker 2>and almost get the pin one Phoenix, with Andrade having
<v Speaker 2>to dive in at the last minute and break things up.
<v Speaker 2>Andrade hits his double moonshole on Fraser, leaving Axiom to
<v Speaker 2>break the cover this time. This one, though, wraps up
<v Speaker 2>with Adios Amigo's hit on Axiom taking him out and
<v Speaker 2>and hitting the message on Fraser and getting the pin
<v Speaker 2>for the whim. I think, Wow, the team of Andrade
<v Speaker 2>and Phoenix are phenomenal, and Phraxium get their first loss
<v Speaker 2>since coming to SmackDown. They are just phenomenal. What a
<v Speaker 2>match there, and just just casually thrown in on any
<v Speaker 2>random SmackDown that was brilliant. Take a breath, and to
<v Speaker 2>nick one of job Jacob's catchphrases, this show is all
<v Speaker 2>gas breaks. It's absolutely frianatic, and I'm not complaining it's brilliant.
<v Speaker 2>We go now backstage and we've got Damien Priest and
<v Speaker 2>he's there with Alistair back and Priest wants to talk
<v Speaker 2>about Truth and tells Black that there's a match between
<v Speaker 2>Black and Truth next week on SmackDown, and Black says
<v Speaker 2>that Truth is going to be the victim of violence
<v Speaker 2>next week. Interesting. I guess let's see what they actually
<v Speaker 2>do with Truth now. He's re signed and he is back,
<v Speaker 2>but is there anything for him past John Cena. I'm
<v Speaker 2>not convinced, but let's see how it works out. And
<v Speaker 2>now to the main event, which is Fatu and Jimmy
<v Speaker 2>versus Jac and Solo. And this one kicks off we
<v Speaker 2>have Solo rolling out of the ring like a cowardly
<v Speaker 2>heel first thing to avoid facing Fatou. So Fatou makes
<v Speaker 2>two with beating the hell out of JC, tagging in Jimmy,
<v Speaker 2>who quickly gets the tables turned on him and Solo
<v Speaker 2>at that point decides that it's safe for him to
<v Speaker 2>tag in. Solo is taking the mick out of Fatou
<v Speaker 2>whilst he beats up Jimmy, which, to be honest, feels
<v Speaker 2>like an error on Solo's part. I mean, at some
<v Speaker 2>point Fatu is getting in that ring and is pretty
<v Speaker 2>likely to rip Solo's head off, so let's see if
<v Speaker 2>that comes true. And then finally we get the moment
<v Speaker 2>we've been waiting for, which is Fatoo in with Solo
<v Speaker 2>and Fatu smashing the hell out of Solo and the
<v Speaker 2>crowd loving it, and Solo well and truly getting his
<v Speaker 2>ass handed to him. Here, Fatu hits a super kick
<v Speaker 2>on both JC and Solo, setting them up for matching
<v Speaker 2>hip attacks in each corner, following it up by hitting
<v Speaker 2>a swant on on Solo. We got Fatu and Jimmy
<v Speaker 2>working together as they both flight out of the ring
<v Speaker 2>to take out Solo and JC, and this one ends
<v Speaker 2>quick as Fatu counters the spike hitting a DDT followed
<v Speaker 2>by his beautiful Moon sult covering Solo to get the win.
<v Speaker 2>So there we've actually had Fatu getting a clean cover
<v Speaker 2>on Solo taking the win. I thought it was great
<v Speaker 2>to see Fatuu team with Jimmy and hoping that Fatu
<v Speaker 2>gets his title shot. Soon after the match, we get
<v Speaker 2>the start of a beatdown on Solo by Fatus. Obviously
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't enough for him. He's stopped by the new guy.
<v Speaker 2>Talatonga and Tonga Lowa are returning from injury, and the
<v Speaker 2>numbers game soon pays off the Solo's gang with Jimmy
<v Speaker 2>getting wrecked and the beatdown continues as Fatuu is held
<v Speaker 2>for Solo to delivered the spike, so power bomb Fattoo
<v Speaker 2>through the announced desk. We go off air tonight with
<v Speaker 2>Solo's new gang standing tall over a decimated Fatoo and
<v Speaker 2>is this us starting to build towards a Roman comeback?
<v Speaker 2>Is he going to be so outraged that Solo is
<v Speaker 2>brought in all these I don't know what the right
<v Speaker 2>word is odd jobs into what he's calling his new family?
<v Speaker 2>And is Roman going I make a comeback join with
<v Speaker 2>Fatoo and Jimmy. Are we going to get Jay back
<v Speaker 2>in now he's dropped the title as well, And are
<v Speaker 2>we going to have blood Line Wars version? I don't
<v Speaker 2>know nine hundred and seventy eight or whether it is.
<v Speaker 2>We're on too now And that's not me complaining. I
<v Speaker 2>would really love to see that missed Roman. I think
<v Speaker 2>wwe misses Roman. It's nice to have a different angle.
<v Speaker 2>But now to be honest with this new shortened show,
<v Speaker 2>because maybe they don't need as many talents, but let's see,
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see this building for a Roman
<v Speaker 2>comeback and a new Bloodline three point zero wherever it
<v Speaker 2>will be. Let me know what you think on Twitter. Honestly, guys,
<v Speaker 2>BlimE me and you lie down after that. What crazy show.
<v Speaker 2>It's absolutely packed and brilliant, going from thing to thing
<v Speaker 2>to thing with so much packed in. I'm a massive
<v Speaker 2>fan of this new shortened show. All filler, no killer,
<v Speaker 2>and as we move first to Saturday Night's main event
<v Speaker 2>and Evolution both next weekend. Yeah that's nuts, right, Saturday
<v Speaker 2>Night's main events next Saturday and the following night on Sunday.
<v Speaker 2>We've got Evolution next weekend, guys, and then some slam
<v Speaker 2>around the corner. From that, things are looking pretty great.
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to know what you guys thought. Get in
<v Speaker 2>touch on Twitter or x where we're now calling it
<v Speaker 2>at Amanda SD Review and let's talk all things WWE.
<v Speaker 2>So all in all, a pretty good SmackDown for a
<v Speaker 2>pre record, pretty good SmackDown for a live show in
<v Speaker 2>my opinion. So yeah, happy days. So all that remains
<v Speaker 2>to say is that the summer of sport continues. We
<v Speaker 2>are all guns blazing watching Wimbledon. Hey did you guys
<v Speaker 2>see John Cena at Wimbledon this week in the Royal Box?
<v Speaker 2>That was weird. World's collide not to you know, Nick,
<v Speaker 2>someone else's per Lee name. And we've got the Women's
<v Speaker 2>Euros with England with their first match this evening against
<v Speaker 2>France and Wales taking on Netherlands. What a time to
<v Speaker 2>be alive. And thank god the heat wave is over
<v Speaker 2>apparently we've got to have one rolling in next week,
<v Speaker 2>so you can't have everything anyway. Guys, that just about
<v Speaker 2>does it for this week's show. Thanks for having me
<v Speaker 2>in your ways once again, and remember, until next time,
<v Speaker 2>be kind.
