WWE SmackDown Review: Jade & Tiffany Team Up, John Cena Tears Apart Logan Paul, Black vs R-Truth

<v Speaker 1>Listen WWE superstar Drew mcintarr, and you're listening to the
<v Speaker 1>WWE podcast show, the one that everybody wants me.
<v Speaker 2>So work yours. This is my you're gonna acknowledge me.
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, good afternoon, good eve in, Hello, whatever time
<v Speaker 2>it is with you and wherever you are. Thank you
<v Speaker 2>for downloading this SmackDown review as part of the WWE podcast.
<v Speaker 2>As always, it's an absolute pleasure to have you listening along.
<v Speaker 2>I am Amanda your host of this SmackDown review, and
<v Speaker 2>as you know, I am back on X and I
<v Speaker 2>am at amanda SD review. Please reach out, give me
<v Speaker 2>a follow. Let's talk so a couple of bits just
<v Speaker 2>before we get into our main event, which is our
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown review, And we've got confirmation on this week's Raw
<v Speaker 2>that Naomi is pregnant and has relinquished the title. Now,
<v Speaker 2>I actually loved how they did that. Her chasing off
<v Speaker 2>Adam Pearce and telling her she's not going to relinquish
<v Speaker 2>anything to him and then cutting a totally healed promo
<v Speaker 2>as her last act was absolute perfection. And obviously we
<v Speaker 2>wait to hear what the crack is going to be
<v Speaker 2>with how the title will be handled, now and first
<v Speaker 2>shout out to Kieran Mini who on X who reached
<v Speaker 2>out to me this week. He thinks that maybe a
<v Speaker 2>Bianca or live angle, which I think is a great
<v Speaker 2>shout well done. I think I'd love to see Live returns.
<v Speaker 2>Furious with the judgment Day Girls Raquel and Roxanne for
<v Speaker 2>losing the tag titles, goes on an absolute tear wins
<v Speaker 2>the title. I like it, and controversially I know, but
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say I'm still loving this. Bailey angle
<v Speaker 2>over on Raw looks like I am on with my
<v Speaker 2>prediction that she completely turns into a deranged hugger, and
<v Speaker 2>again I am completely there for that looks brilliant. Anyway,
<v Speaker 2>let's get to it and review the SmackDown. The ad
<v Speaker 2>on Friday, the twenty second of August from Dublin Ireland
<v Speaker 2>and Water treat to have the WWE back in Europe
<v Speaker 2>and on our time zone. So as I'm recording this,
<v Speaker 2>it's twenty past ten on Friday night, apart other than
<v Speaker 2>it being the following day, which it often is, so
<v Speaker 2>this is about as live review as it gets. We
<v Speaker 2>have our arrivals, we get Logan Paul and the Street
<v Speaker 2>profits with b fab and the MFTs. They're all in
<v Speaker 2>action tonight, and we've got Charlotte and she's going to
<v Speaker 2>face Piper Niven as well later on this evening. Now,
<v Speaker 2>first of all, the crowd are absolutely mad for it,
<v Speaker 2>even giving Wade, as he says an Englishman, a massive
<v Speaker 2>cheer and a welcome to the show. First out, we've
<v Speaker 2>got Becky Lynch obviously first of all getting a huge
<v Speaker 2>hometown cheer. I'll say it again, brand split? What brand split?
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't mind. We get to see Becky
<v Speaker 2>on SmackDown and that's cool, but still you know she
<v Speaker 2>has mic in hand. But the crowd right net has
<v Speaker 2>start yet they are totally full of it, absolutely loving
<v Speaker 2>seeing Becky. She says that this is the first WWE
<v Speaker 2>live televised event from Dublin Island. The crowd start. You
<v Speaker 2>deserve it chant and she does some reminiscing about the
<v Speaker 2>arena where they are tonight when she used to come
<v Speaker 2>there as a fan, and she says she's always dreamed
<v Speaker 2>they could have TV and now she finally gets to
<v Speaker 2>say it, and then it happens there she goes. She says,
<v Speaker 2>they don't deserve it. She says she even petitioned in
<v Speaker 2>the back to get the show canceled, and just like that,
<v Speaker 2>they start hearing for Lyra and we get a massive
<v Speaker 2>we want Lyra chant going up. Becky says that she
<v Speaker 2>isn't here and she starts bad mailthing the crowd. She
<v Speaker 2>says they don't appreciate her. She says she is aghast
<v Speaker 2>at the lack of TV coverage she's received in Ireland,
<v Speaker 2>and she says that she is their hero and she
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't have to tell them that as that's not how
<v Speaker 2>heroing works, which is a brilliant line. And now the
<v Speaker 2>crowd move on and they are chanting shut the f up.
<v Speaker 2>She says that she is let down by all of
<v Speaker 2>the crowd. She calls herself the greatest female wrestler of
<v Speaker 2>all time, and it's not just her saying that it's illutrated.
<v Speaker 2>She says she's the first woman to main event WrestleMania,
<v Speaker 2>and the crowd start who are you? Who are you?
<v Speaker 2>Who are you? Chant? Completely hilarious. She's on top of
<v Speaker 2>all that and all her accomplishments, she also has a
<v Speaker 2>very hot American husband and she deserves a parade or
<v Speaker 2>a statue. She says that the media will write opinion
<v Speaker 2>pieces on Katie Taylor. She says she's a very good boxer,
<v Speaker 2>but can she cut a promo? No, she can't. She
<v Speaker 2>goes off just like pretty much all Irish celebrities until
<v Speaker 2>she's cut off by Tiffy. To be honest, everyone seems
<v Speaker 2>glad that Becky has finally been shut up. Tiffy tells
<v Speaker 2>Becky she doesn't understand how she can be so ungrateful
<v Speaker 2>to Dublin, and also she's on the wrong show. I'm
<v Speaker 2>glad someone pointed it out. You're on the wrong evening, Becky.
<v Speaker 2>Tiffy says she likes Ireland and everyone knows what time
<v Speaker 2>it is. It's Tiffy time. She tells Becky she can
<v Speaker 2>leave or on behalf of everyone, she will make her
<v Speaker 2>leave cute randomly here Naya Jacks is music. She's out tabooze,
<v Speaker 2>not heally booze like Becky's getting and dom gets right
<v Speaker 2>heel heat. This is like exasperated get lost. Oh no
<v Speaker 2>eye roll type booze like ugh, genuine like f off booze.
<v Speaker 2>She tells Tiffy, why you concern with Becky? Nya agrees
<v Speaker 2>about Dublin, saying it sucks the crowd do the who
<v Speaker 2>are you chance? Again? Nya tells Tiffy she has much
<v Speaker 2>bigger problems than that, and the heels then start to
<v Speaker 2>lay into Tiffy. We get Jade out, who makes the
<v Speaker 2>save flattens Naya. Jade and Becky go to face off,
<v Speaker 2>but Tiffy kicks Naya off the ring. Apron then get
<v Speaker 2>nick alled us out to make the main event, and
<v Speaker 2>it's of course going to be Becky and Nyat versus
<v Speaker 2>Jade and Tiffy. Well, what did we think of that
<v Speaker 2>as an opening segment? Like Sammy last week? We have
<v Speaker 2>a random non SmackDown appearance, but I guess it is
<v Speaker 2>Becky and it is Ireland as a heel. Becky is great,
<v Speaker 2>and wow, does she ever cut one hell of a promo.
<v Speaker 2>She went from Lad's Lads look were on TV to
<v Speaker 2>the whole crowd swearing at her in the space of
<v Speaker 2>about a minute. It was an absolute masterclass of a
<v Speaker 2>promo and had the crowd in the absolute palm of
<v Speaker 2>her hand. Great to see her interact with Tiffy and
<v Speaker 2>then Nya coming out and her much more of a
<v Speaker 2>paint by numbers a to be robotic promo. She didn't
<v Speaker 2>seem to register the crowd, no comebacks for the chance
<v Speaker 2>and the total snoozefest Jade coming out, Well there we go,
<v Speaker 2>I guess. So yeah for Tiffy and Becky and a
<v Speaker 2>sigh of indifference. I'm going to say to the appearance
<v Speaker 2>of Nia and Jade, even though should be a decent match.
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, I've got to say that I do hope
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown shapes up to be better than the last couple. Have.
<v Speaker 2>They haven't been Vince Era bad, don't get me wrong,
<v Speaker 2>nothing like it, but they have slipped from what was
<v Speaker 2>a great standard previously. Are we going to get Lyra
<v Speaker 2>at some point this evening? Backstage, now we've got Mellow.
<v Speaker 2>He's met up with Fraxi him and they tell him
<v Speaker 2>how great he was last week. Phraser tells him to
<v Speaker 2>watch out for Mes as he's a schemer. Millow, Mellow
<v Speaker 2>excuse me. Mello defends him, says he's a future Hall
<v Speaker 2>of Famer, he's a goat, and he says that the
<v Speaker 2>Mis is smarter than everyone and that's how they are
<v Speaker 2>in this position. So we now have Melo and Mes
<v Speaker 2>versus the MotorCity and machine Guns. Not delighted as I
<v Speaker 2>discussed last week that we are obsuing the team of
<v Speaker 2>Mello and Mis, but let's try and keep an open mind.
<v Speaker 2>We've got the guys on comms building the fact that
<v Speaker 2>last week Melo seemed to do all the hard work
<v Speaker 2>and miss Nick the glory at the end, and I'm wondering,
<v Speaker 2>is that going to be the angle here? This one
<v Speaker 2>kicks off with Miss in with Saban as Mellow gets
<v Speaker 2>a blind tag and he starts off with Sabin himself
<v Speaker 2>and the crowd chanting we want Mis. We have Mellow
<v Speaker 2>showing off, but he's soon taken down a peg or
<v Speaker 2>two by Saban. Mis with blind tag comes in, but
<v Speaker 2>it's soon roughed up by both of the Motor City
<v Speaker 2>machine guns as they deliver double baseball slide to Mellow
<v Speaker 2>and Miss. We then got Sabin flying out of the ring,
<v Speaker 2>taking them both down on the outside. Wade now is
<v Speaker 2>talking up the lack of cohesion between Mis and Mellow
<v Speaker 2>and the fact that Mellow's ego has gotten them both
<v Speaker 2>into trouble in this match. Meanwhile, Shelley gets a near
<v Speaker 2>pin on Mis, but Mellow makes the save, breaking it
<v Speaker 2>up in the nick of time. Mellow gets a near
<v Speaker 2>fall after hitting the mystica. Just as Mellow looks like
<v Speaker 2>putting it away, Mis tags himself in again. There are
<v Speaker 2>some shenanigans, and from nowhere Mis nicks the win for
<v Speaker 2>his team. Again. Mellow got the finisher, Mis gets the pins.
<v Speaker 2>So we're following that formula, it seems here, So we
<v Speaker 2>continue with these two clearly in the title picture. Apparently
<v Speaker 2>this week and last week's wins gets them a number
<v Speaker 2>one contender match next week, so I'm guessing that that
<v Speaker 2>will be whoever wins the profits or MFT later on.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not crazy about this, as I may have mentioned
<v Speaker 2>a roughly nine million times. Okay, I know, but the
<v Speaker 2>tag division is so strong, why do we need the
<v Speaker 2>Mellow and Miss team And to a lesser extent, but
<v Speaker 2>at the same point, the MFTs just don't think it's necessary.
<v Speaker 2>I think the guys we have are just phenomenal and
<v Speaker 2>doing such a great job. Anyway, we go backstage to
<v Speaker 2>Kathy Kelly and she's got big gym with her and
<v Speaker 2>she offers her congratulations and a happy birthday. She asks
<v Speaker 2>him if he's had any time to process, and he
<v Speaker 2>says he's had lovely message from everyone, and then Sammy
<v Speaker 2>comes launching in and says that he's going to be
<v Speaker 2>Uncle Sammy. We then get the MFTs led by Solo
<v Speaker 2>coming over. Solo says when the baby arrives, it will
<v Speaker 2>have a whole bunch of new uncles and tells Jimmy
<v Speaker 2>that he gives him his blessing to name the kids. Solo.
<v Speaker 2>Sammy tells Solo that he should be more worried about
<v Speaker 2>holding onto the US title rather than naming people's kids.
<v Speaker 2>Solo asks him what he's going to do. Is this
<v Speaker 2>another underdog story, Sammy, and he says, nope, you aren't
<v Speaker 2>dealing with underdog Sammy. You are dealing with Maine event
<v Speaker 2>wrestle Mainia Sammy. Now this I like. I like how
<v Speaker 2>they are weaving very obvious real life and Naomi's pregnancy
<v Speaker 2>and marriage in with the storylines. I like Sammy going
<v Speaker 2>for the US title. That's a nice angle too. So
<v Speaker 2>this one for me at the moment, gets the double
<v Speaker 2>thumbs up for sure. Next up, we've got Piper Niven
<v Speaker 2>versus Charlott Flair. No entrance for Piper Ivens. She's already
<v Speaker 2>in the ring with Chelsea and Alba. Ringside as always
<v Speaker 2>typically full entrance for Charlotte, and she gets a huge
<v Speaker 2>reaction from the crowd, and we don't have any Bliss
<v Speaker 2>here tonight by the looks of things. Wade tells us
<v Speaker 2>that due to the beatdown last week, Bliss is not
<v Speaker 2>medically cleared to be here tonight, so that clears that
<v Speaker 2>one up, and this one kicks off waves. Wade tells
<v Speaker 2>us that Charlotte is potentially three verses one tonight, and
<v Speaker 2>that speaks volumes for the friendship that Bliss and Flair have,
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was quite a nice angle, and again
<v Speaker 2>pushing Charlotte more and more as a face and getting
<v Speaker 2>her more and more over, which is fine by me.
<v Speaker 2>This one starts off. We've got Piperiven early on using
<v Speaker 2>her power. Soon enough, Charlotte's athleticness shows through and she
<v Speaker 2>hits a big cross body gets a close cover. We
<v Speaker 2>got shenanigans from Chelsea and the distraction Niven to get
<v Speaker 2>the near full Charlotte hits the moon salt and somehow
<v Speaker 2>Liven kicks out. Charlotte looks in the figure eight, but
<v Speaker 2>behind the back of the ref Chelsea gouges the eyes,
<v Speaker 2>leaving Piper to hit the driver and get the win.
<v Speaker 2>So that was a little bit unremarkable. As I said, Nobliss,
<v Speaker 2>I guess she isn't traveling to Europe at the moment.
<v Speaker 2>I half expected her to show up midway through this
<v Speaker 2>match take out the Secret Hervis, but a loss for Charlotte.
<v Speaker 2>So that's a win each for these guys, I guess.
<v Speaker 2>But no postmatch beat down this time, and I think
<v Speaker 2>we all know where this is headed. And I'm assuming
<v Speaker 2>a tag title match for the Secret Hervis coming up
<v Speaker 2>in the future, and I think that's cool. Backstage now
<v Speaker 2>and we have Keana James talking to her client Julia.
<v Speaker 2>She's telling her that she's got some opportunities. They are
<v Speaker 2>interrupt by Shocking me Meeching Gosh, who says she wants
<v Speaker 2>an appointment in the ring. Keiana says, if you want
<v Speaker 2>to get to Juliet, you have to go through me first,
<v Speaker 2>Meeching except both matches with Gusto, so that's quite cool.
<v Speaker 2>As you guys now, I don't really watch an XT,
<v Speaker 2>so I haven't seen a lot of Keanu James, so
<v Speaker 2>I'll look forward to seeing her versus Meeching. I'm going
<v Speaker 2>to assume Meeching wins and we get Julia versus meeching
<v Speaker 2>and am I right that this will be Julia's first
<v Speaker 2>title defense, so surely she's not going to drop it
<v Speaker 2>straight off the bat, But never say never. Next up,
<v Speaker 2>we've got John Cena out for what Joe Test tells
<v Speaker 2>us is one of his final appearances in Europe, and
<v Speaker 2>the crowd just take it up at another level even here.
<v Speaker 2>They are absolutely off the chart for Sena and quite rightly,
<v Speaker 2>he's milking it when he does get into the ring,
<v Speaker 2>and that's okay. The crowd of making the most of
<v Speaker 2>it too, and it's a pretty cool moment. He actually
<v Speaker 2>looks pretty emotional as he gets his special ring announcement.
<v Speaker 2>He finally gets to talk, but before he can say
<v Speaker 2>a word, the ultimate turd that is Logan Paul comes
<v Speaker 2>out and the crowd literally dies at that point, water
<v Speaker 2>do They went from absolute massive highs to you know,
<v Speaker 2>worshiping sener And as soon as Logan Paul's music kits,
<v Speaker 2>it's like someone just took the air out of the
<v Speaker 2>room again with the who are Your Chance? And then
<v Speaker 2>the fu Logan I just noticed here there's a sign
<v Speaker 2>in the crowd that says MacIntire cells Avon, which I
<v Speaker 2>thought is one hundred percent the winner of the Sign
<v Speaker 2>of the Week if we did such a thing. I
<v Speaker 2>just thought that was really funny. He says, all you
<v Speaker 2>Irish people are the same drunk, washed up hobos. They're
<v Speaker 2>still shouting who are you? Who are you? He says,
<v Speaker 2>you know who I am. I'm Logan Paul, the guy
<v Speaker 2>you paid money to see, so shut up. He calls
<v Speaker 2>Sena an actor who knows how to wrestle, and the
<v Speaker 2>crowd of drowning him out. And he shouts at the
<v Speaker 2>crowd because they're swearing and obviously it's getting bleeped, and
<v Speaker 2>he says that because of that, no one can hear
<v Speaker 2>him at home. He says he can't stand all these people,
<v Speaker 2>the keyboard warriors, that call him an outsider. He says,
<v Speaker 2>he is the best this company has and when are
<v Speaker 2>we going to accept him? He calls Sena a corporate hole.
<v Speaker 2>He says, if the bosses tell Sena to roll over,
<v Speaker 2>he does. He says, Logan Paul does what he wants,
<v Speaker 2>and if he wants attention, he doesn't have to get
<v Speaker 2>naked at the oscars to get it. And to be fair,
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Sena had to do that. It was
<v Speaker 2>funny anyway, He says, who's the impostor the guy that's
<v Speaker 2>done five moves for twenty three years, or the guy
<v Speaker 2>who's fought on every pl The crowd really seems to
<v Speaker 2>be written in Logan pool here. He seems genuinely angry,
<v Speaker 2>tells Sena that he can't wait to fight him in Paris.
<v Speaker 2>Now the crowd are chanting Wanka at Logan Paul. Sina
<v Speaker 2>says Paul is an undeniable presence and a tremendous athlete.
<v Speaker 2>He calls him a future WWE champion, Anna WrestleMania main inventor.
<v Speaker 2>He says he believes them, but they make him upset.
<v Speaker 2>He says, for years they've been calling him one thing.
<v Speaker 2>The crowd continued to shout wanka, but the term that
<v Speaker 2>he means is Logan Paul is an outsider. Sina says,
<v Speaker 2>he is an outsider. He isn't an outsider. He's a disappointment.
<v Speaker 2>He says. The WWE family opened up its arms to him,
<v Speaker 2>and instead of respecting the house, Logan Paul used it
<v Speaker 2>all as a marketing opportunity to buy another Pokemon card.
<v Speaker 2>He says, on top of all that he has the
<v Speaker 2>audacity to brag about putting his life on the line
<v Speaker 2>for twenty three matches. He says, he has given his
<v Speaker 2>heart and soul to WW for twenty three years, and
<v Speaker 2>that's not Perle's. That's all events even untelevised to any references.
<v Speaker 2>When he thought Shamus in ten years ago, in that
<v Speaker 2>very arena with no cameras there, he says, all that time,
<v Speaker 2>Paul was making vine videos with his brother. Sina tells
<v Speaker 2>him he has potential, but he's selfish and slimy. Paul's
<v Speaker 2>question is what he can take from the business and
<v Speaker 2>SEEA says, it doesn't matter how fast you are, how
<v Speaker 2>high you jump, or how many viral moments you make.
<v Speaker 2>The people aren't stupid and they see through him. He
<v Speaker 2>says he is an outsider, He's a parasite, and the
<v Speaker 2>crowd I love that and start chanting parasite, which I
<v Speaker 2>have to admit was a beautiful, beautiful moment. Seena then
<v Speaker 2>goes on to drop all the names of the superstars
<v Speaker 2>off the top of my head that he mentioned. Jacob Flattou,
<v Speaker 2>he mentioned Randy ortun I think he mentioned that USO's
<v Speaker 2>basically listing all the superstars that he thinks Logan Paul
<v Speaker 2>has screwed and screwed the crowd out of seeing in
<v Speaker 2>Legends matches as Sena you know, walks off into the
<v Speaker 2>distance and Seena tells him that he's wasting his time
<v Speaker 2>and Clash in Paris has now become the most important
<v Speaker 2>match of Logan's life. He tells him that he better
<v Speaker 2>bring his a game as his opponent him is the
<v Speaker 2>greatest of all time and if he thinks he's going
<v Speaker 2>to walk in with his drone and his salty water
<v Speaker 2>product and ruin his last moments, he has another thing
<v Speaker 2>coming Logan. Paul starts to push him, knocks his hat off,
<v Speaker 2>but Sena ducks his punch and drops him with an
<v Speaker 2>AA in the middle of the ring, Joe Test says
<v Speaker 2>an attitude adjustment for someone who needs one, which again
<v Speaker 2>contender for line of the night. There was some brilliant
<v Speaker 2>stuff on comms and promos this evening that was just brilliant.
<v Speaker 2>I thought this was great. This segment genuine heat for
<v Speaker 2>Paul from the Dublin crowd and as I said, it
<v Speaker 2>genuinely seemed to rattle him, which was just brilliant. A
<v Speaker 2>great promo delivered from Sena. As I always say, w
<v Speaker 2>is a best when it works in the gray areas
<v Speaker 2>and touches on real life and the truth. And I
<v Speaker 2>feel like this is exactly what we got from Senia here.
<v Speaker 2>He is absolutely up there with Punk as the greatest
<v Speaker 2>on promo, I'm so pleased that I don't have to
<v Speaker 2>listen as intently to all that stuff on Raw with
<v Speaker 2>the Vision and Hayman repeating themselves week after week blah
<v Speaker 2>blah blah, and they get to focus on the likes
<v Speaker 2>of Sina and Cody, which is quality. And then suddenly,
<v Speaker 2>just like that with the Sena promo, the match a
<v Speaker 2>clash between these two is alive and kicking. I got
<v Speaker 2>no doubt that the French crowd will be equally bane
<v Speaker 2>for Logan to get his head kicked in as the
<v Speaker 2>Irish ones were, And God, I hope that happens backstage
<v Speaker 2>now with Jade and Tiffy and a rerun of the
<v Speaker 2>previous bitch between these two. Tiffy didn't need to say
<v Speaker 2>from Jade. Jade says they can get it done tonight
<v Speaker 2>and then she's coming for her title. Yawn and now
<v Speaker 2>in fact yawn and eye roll. Just the now our
<v Speaker 2>next match, which is profits versus MFTs. Before that, though,
<v Speaker 2>we have a furious looking Logan Paul walking backstage and
<v Speaker 2>bumping into his pal Drew, who even from backstage, gets
<v Speaker 2>an absolutely massive pop. He tells Logan what the hell
<v Speaker 2>was that tonight? He says he's scared of Sina. He
<v Speaker 2>says it's not twenty ten Sena, it's not super Sena,
<v Speaker 2>and that he has to make it right tonight after
<v Speaker 2>Sina embarrassed him. Back to this tag match, and we
<v Speaker 2>have Tongala in with Dawkins, which is a right meat
<v Speaker 2>slapping fest, and then we've got Ford in with JC.
<v Speaker 2>As always, we have the rest of the mft's ringside,
<v Speaker 2>and the crowd wants the OTC and that is firmly
<v Speaker 2>who they're charting for. Now, what do we think the
<v Speaker 2>crack is with the profits? Are they back to being
<v Speaker 2>full on faces? They've had a whistle stop tour of
<v Speaker 2>every kind of persona that you could possibly have in WWE.
<v Speaker 2>They've been heel weird faction with Lashley and now back
<v Speaker 2>full circle with Beef. I don't get it. I'm not
<v Speaker 2>sure the crowd do either. They seem to be almost
<v Speaker 2>completely focused on cheering for the OTC rather than being
<v Speaker 2>into this match. So far, we do get a close
<v Speaker 2>cover for the Profits only saved by Tamatonga. JC is
<v Speaker 2>still in, but Talatonga, as per running interference allows JC
<v Speaker 2>to hit Tour of the Island, which Ford kicks out
<v Speaker 2>of and I don't think we've ever seen anyone kick
<v Speaker 2>out of Tour of the Islands before, so that's another
<v Speaker 2>illusion dispelled this evening. We then get big gym appear
<v Speaker 2>at ringside and try and even things up, but gets
<v Speaker 2>totally millard for his trouble by Talatonga, and we then
<v Speaker 2>get Sammy taking out solo at ringside, So with the
<v Speaker 2>odds evened up, Ford hits from the heavens and gets
<v Speaker 2>the pin for the whim for the Profits. So I
<v Speaker 2>think that means next week we've got Mellow and Miz
<v Speaker 2>versus The Profits for a number one Contenders match versus
<v Speaker 2>The Why at six. I guess next up, we've got
<v Speaker 2>Alistair Black versus Our Truth. Before we can start, we've
<v Speaker 2>got a video on the Big Squeen from Our Truth
<v Speaker 2>and he says that he's got good news and bad news.
<v Speaker 2>He says the bad news is that he can't make
<v Speaker 2>it tonight. He went to Dublin in the USA, but
<v Speaker 2>he says not to worry. He's called in a friend
<v Speaker 2>and it's going to be Priest versus Black. Now it
<v Speaker 2>kicks off before the belly and rings with these two
<v Speaker 2>trading blows. We haven't even started yet. There's no bell,
<v Speaker 2>but we've got every ref an official out trying to
<v Speaker 2>separate these two. They carry on brawling up the ramp
<v Speaker 2>and I guess this means that we have a proper
<v Speaker 2>match again sometime with these two, and that's okay from me.
<v Speaker 2>We get another non update on Cody from Joe Tess,
<v Speaker 2>who says they can't provide one. We haven't seen Cody
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of weeks now, don't know if he's
<v Speaker 2>coming to the show next week, which I believe is leon,
<v Speaker 2>but let's see. We get another reminder of what Drew did,
<v Speaker 2>and then and Drew appears, asking what's the story. He
<v Speaker 2>says to Joe, do we have a medical update? And
<v Speaker 2>he says he will update on Cody. He says that
<v Speaker 2>Cody is a little bitch, but he's done him a
<v Speaker 2>favor and given him more time with the thing he
<v Speaker 2>loves most in the world, the title. He says that
<v Speaker 2>he is one of the few people in the company
<v Speaker 2>who's pinned him, and next time he pins him it
<v Speaker 2>will be for his title. He says that Cody has
<v Speaker 2>no friends left in the WWE, and then suddenly is
<v Speaker 2>a very tight shot in Andrew's face. But suddenly the
<v Speaker 2>crowd go absolutely wild, so you know something's coming. And
<v Speaker 2>then Randy appears from behind and puts Drew on his
<v Speaker 2>arse with an RKO. So good to see Randy back
<v Speaker 2>and RKO and Drew brilliant. Hopefully we get to see
<v Speaker 2>those two one on one soon. That would be a
<v Speaker 2>great match. Now backstage, we've got Becky A poached by
<v Speaker 2>Naya who tells her let's get one thing straight. Tiffy
<v Speaker 2>and Jade need to be put in their place tonight.
<v Speaker 2>Becky says that she needs a win tonight too, so
<v Speaker 2>they need to be on the same page. And that
<v Speaker 2>brings us to our main event tonight, which is Nia
<v Speaker 2>and Becky versus Tiffy and Jade. We start off with
<v Speaker 2>Tiffy right in it. She goes off the top to
<v Speaker 2>the outside and takes out Nya and Becky looks like
<v Speaker 2>Tiffy smashed the back of her head on the floor,
<v Speaker 2>so hoping that she is okay. We get a tag
<v Speaker 2>to Jade and she faces up to Becky, with Becky
<v Speaker 2>getting pretty much smashed in her mouth. Jade gets a
<v Speaker 2>really close cover on Becky and is looking good. Becky
<v Speaker 2>gets a sneaky tag who to Nya, which Jade completely
<v Speaker 2>misses and goes for the annihilator, but she manages to move.
<v Speaker 2>We then get Tiffy hitting the prettiest moons or whatever,
<v Speaker 2>and Jade follows off with a splash and finishing this
<v Speaker 2>one off super quick, getting the victory for Jade and Tiffy.
<v Speaker 2>I can only imagine that they were in a rush
<v Speaker 2>to get down the pub, but it seemed that that
<v Speaker 2>one was cut really, really short. I don't know whether
<v Speaker 2>it was just time constraint or if there was an
<v Speaker 2>injury in the early moves of the match. It really
<v Speaker 2>did look like if you smashed her head off the floor.
<v Speaker 2>But I might be completely wrong there, but honestly, this
<v Speaker 2>was probably like three minutes tops, which was a bit disappointing.
<v Speaker 2>I think, why would you bring Becky over from Raw
<v Speaker 2>just to give us such a short and sweet match.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess she did deliver the killer promo
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning of the night, but still it would
<v Speaker 2>have been nice to see her fight a bit more,
<v Speaker 2>but as it was, they cemented her heel character even
<v Speaker 2>more because on top of the completely dastardly he promo
<v Speaker 2>that she cut earlier on, she also legged it once
<v Speaker 2>she tagged in Naya. She made her way away from
<v Speaker 2>the ring, not really wanting very much to do with
<v Speaker 2>it anyway, So that was fairly underwhelming as far as
<v Speaker 2>main events go, I suppose, in my opinion, we get
<v Speaker 2>the credit to come up at the end, but as
<v Speaker 2>we go off air, we have Nick approaching Seena on
<v Speaker 2>the outside, and as he does, Logan runs past him,
<v Speaker 2>punching him in the face and laying him out, and
<v Speaker 2>that's where we leave tonight's show. So honestly, all in all,
<v Speaker 2>I thought this was a good show. It felt absolutely
<v Speaker 2>packed with all kinds of different things. We had a
<v Speaker 2>couple of really good promos. The Becky promo and the
<v Speaker 2>Senor promo were in my opinion, ten out ten. I
<v Speaker 2>thought that's WW some of its finest works. With both
<v Speaker 2>of those promos, both Becky and Sena had the crowd
<v Speaker 2>absolutely eaten out of the palm of their hand, and
<v Speaker 2>then there was some good action tonight, some nice tag
<v Speaker 2>team matches. As I said, a slightly underwhelming main event
<v Speaker 2>with the women's tag match, but you know, you can't
<v Speaker 2>have everything. It was a pretty strong show tonight and
<v Speaker 2>absolutely no complaints from me. Great build to clash, and
<v Speaker 2>to be fair, they showed us the card for next
<v Speaker 2>week's SmackDown, so we've got the women's tag match as
<v Speaker 2>predicted earlier in the show, so that's the secret Harvist
<v Speaker 2>versus Bliss and Charlotte. We've got a US title match
<v Speaker 2>between Solo and Sammy, and we've got the men's Number
<v Speaker 2>One Contenders match, which will be their profits versus Mellow
<v Speaker 2>and Miss to be number one contenders to take on
<v Speaker 2>the White Six. So next week's show from Leon already
<v Speaker 2>looking pretty good and I'm hoping that we'll get to
<v Speaker 2>see Cody, but I know we've had a Randy appearance tonight,
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, no complaints, good strong show, really happy. We'd
<v Speaker 2>love to know your thoughts. Been having some chats with
<v Speaker 2>a few of you on Twitter or sorry X this week,
<v Speaker 2>so give me a shout and let's connect. It's always
<v Speaker 2>fun to chat wrestling in the week. So that just
