WWE SmackDown Review: LA Knight vs Damien Priest, Naomi Attacks Jade & Tiffany Stratton, Black vs Miz

<v Speaker 1>Listen is w w E superstar Drew McIntyre, and you're
<v Speaker 1>listening to the WWE podcast.
<v Speaker 2>Show, the one that everybody wants me, so yours is
<v Speaker 2>my You're gonna acknowledge me.
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, hell, whatever time it
<v Speaker 3>is with you and wherever you are. Thank you for
<v Speaker 3>downloading this SmackDown with you as part of the WWE podcast.
<v Speaker 3>As always, it's an absolute pleasure to have you listened along.
<v Speaker 3>I am Amanda, your host of the SmackDown Review, and
<v Speaker 3>I'm back after three weeks. Wow, just wow, What a
<v Speaker 3>lot has happened. What did you guys think of Mania?
<v Speaker 3>I think it's fair to say there were some highs
<v Speaker 3>and the right The main event Night one was epic.
<v Speaker 3>On the fallout of that over the past couple of
<v Speaker 3>weeks has been great. Seth Orleans, bron Breaker and Hayman
<v Speaker 3>Yes please, Jay is Champ, Tiffany retains the scene, A
<v Speaker 3>Cody match was underwhelming, and where the hell is the Rock?
<v Speaker 3>Joe Hendry and Randy I liked a lot. I thought
<v Speaker 3>I was a real surprise. I like Joe Hendry's gimmick.
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking forward to seeing if he makes it onto
<v Speaker 3>WWE programming Stone Cold running some Woman in the crowd
<v Speaker 3>over was a personal highlight for me, obviously hoping that
<v Speaker 3>she is fine and well and I imagine quite well
<v Speaker 3>financially compensated. But that was one of the funniest things
<v Speaker 3>I've seen. And Dom is Intercontinental Champion and I don't
<v Speaker 3>mind that at all. And we got a Becky return
<v Speaker 3>and I ran them tag title win with Lyra followed
<v Speaker 3>by a Becky Hill turn. I'm reserving judgment on that.
<v Speaker 3>As you guys know, I am a complete mark for
<v Speaker 3>Becky Lynch, absolutely love her. Wasn't a fan of her
<v Speaker 3>last heel run, but I think if the create if
<v Speaker 3>is good, I think she can run with anything. So
<v Speaker 3>I really hope that this is going to be a
<v Speaker 3>good story for her. I'm sure there's an angle in
<v Speaker 3>there with Bailey which will be quite cool as well.
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, awesome to see Becky back. So let's get
<v Speaker 3>to it. Let's review the SmackDown that ed May the
<v Speaker 3>second from des moy hopefully have said that correct, which
<v Speaker 3>is an IOWA so as is now the norm. We
<v Speaker 3>get the arrivals, and first up tonight, we've got Randy.
<v Speaker 3>He's followed by Tiffany mis with Mellow, who is taking
<v Speaker 3>on Alista Black tonight, and oh my god, I forgot
<v Speaker 3>to mention that he came back. I think you guys
<v Speaker 3>remember I predicted Alistair Black and Becky returns, so I
<v Speaker 3>am probably going to retire from predictions now I've got
<v Speaker 3>those two right. Anyway, So we see Priest arrive and
<v Speaker 3>he's confronted right away by Solo and Fatoo, and they
<v Speaker 3>start having some handbags in the backstage area, Priest saying
<v Speaker 3>basically he wants the US title from Fatou, and it
<v Speaker 3>looks like we're getting straight into the action tonight and
<v Speaker 3>we have La Knight versus Priest. Now. Night walks right
<v Speaker 3>past the handbags and into the ring where he has
<v Speaker 3>the mic in his hand, and he says a week
<v Speaker 3>ago he stepped foot in the ring, and he said
<v Speaker 3>he wanted his rematch, but instead of a rematch, he
<v Speaker 3>got a number one compenders match. He said he had
<v Speaker 3>the match, it didn't go his way because of Solo
<v Speaker 3>interfering and spiking him, and then Fatou coming out and
<v Speaker 3>treating the ring like his own personal jungle gym, which
<v Speaker 3>I thought was hilarious, dropping moosalts on everyone. He said
<v Speaker 3>that the only reason he was able to do that
<v Speaker 3>at all was because of Priest. He says that he
<v Speaker 3>knows it wasn't to do with him, but it still
<v Speaker 3>cost him. And that brings out Priest to the ring
<v Speaker 3>and he tells Knight that he's right, and he says
<v Speaker 3>that the two of them don't have a problem, but
<v Speaker 3>that last week was all about Drew. He says he
<v Speaker 3>was done with Drew, but Drew couldn't let it go.
<v Speaker 3>Knight tells him that he picked the wrong time to interfere,
<v Speaker 3>and Priest says he did him a favor because he
<v Speaker 3>saved Night from eating a clay more and getting pinned.
<v Speaker 3>Knight says, don't put your stuff on me and don't
<v Speaker 3>let your failures be mine, and Price says this whole
<v Speaker 3>situation is because he lost his title at Mania. They
<v Speaker 3>continue to go back and forth blaming each other. Priest
<v Speaker 3>says they can go on like this or they can
<v Speaker 3>get on with it and have the match right now.
<v Speaker 3>So we get a referee out, we kick off the match.
<v Speaker 3>We're off to a pretty slow start. Face versus face
<v Speaker 3>for me is always a bit weird, and where even
<v Speaker 3>Stevens in the early going Priest, with some momentum, goes
<v Speaker 3>for old School, which is his homage to the Taker,
<v Speaker 3>but it's pulled down by Night, who gets in some offense,
<v Speaker 3>including a beautiful jumping neck breaker. Night goes for an
<v Speaker 3>elbow drop from the top rope, but it's caught mid
<v Speaker 3>air by Priest, which is a really cool move, and
<v Speaker 3>then Priest delivers a massive clothesline and gets a near full.
<v Speaker 3>Night Hits jump up elbow and earns himself an ear
<v Speaker 3>full and we get this is awesome chant, which I'm
<v Speaker 3>sorry de moie is a bit of a stretch. It's
<v Speaker 3>not bad, but it's not awesome in my opinion. Priest
<v Speaker 3>Hits raises edge from the top rope and pretty much
<v Speaker 3>froze La Night from one side of the to the other,
<v Speaker 3>and it looked like he would get the win there,
<v Speaker 3>but Night kicked. Night gets a super plex for another
<v Speaker 3>close account, and just as we look to be moving
<v Speaker 3>to the finish, we get the inevitable interference from Solo,
<v Speaker 3>who causes a diki finish and beats down on Priest
<v Speaker 3>and then starts straight away on Night looking to deliver
<v Speaker 3>the spike, but at the last minute, Night is saved
<v Speaker 3>by Priest, Fatuu turns up and save Solo from being
<v Speaker 3>put through the announced table, and then Fato continue. Fatuu
<v Speaker 3>continues to decimate Night and Priest and ends the segment
<v Speaker 3>standing tall. A really nice start to the show this week,
<v Speaker 3>and a change from the usual long promo which we
<v Speaker 3>got a bit of, but then straight into a nice
<v Speaker 3>match and we continue to build Fatoo as an absolute monster.
<v Speaker 3>At the moment, it seems Fatuu and so are on
<v Speaker 3>the same page, but personally we can't see that lasting
<v Speaker 3>and I hope it doesn't. We now go backstage to
<v Speaker 3>Byron who has Praxium with him, and they say they
<v Speaker 3>will turn the tag division on its head now they
<v Speaker 3>have joined the best tag division in the world. Pretty
<v Speaker 3>deadly come along and say they're happy to have more
<v Speaker 3>Europeans on the show, but they need to know how
<v Speaker 3>good Phraxium are and that's what they wanted the match
<v Speaker 3>tonight for, and we're straight into that now. After last
<v Speaker 3>week's Phrasium debut, I am excited. They are pretty awesome,
<v Speaker 3>really exciting to watch. This one starts with Axiom and
<v Speaker 3>with Kit Wade tells us that many people make Praxium
<v Speaker 3>the best tag team in the world. He doesn't agree yet,
<v Speaker 3>but they are really hyping them up. A quick tag
<v Speaker 3>and Nathan Fraser is in. I remember we had a
<v Speaker 3>chat on the podcast about Nathan Fraser a few weeks
<v Speaker 3>ago and I said that I thought he was really
<v Speaker 3>exciting and I was looking forward to seeing him more
<v Speaker 3>and I was gonna try and catch him on NXT. Obviously,
<v Speaker 3>Triple H has and me a favor here and haven't
<v Speaker 3>got the time to watch NXT, so he's just brought
<v Speaker 3>them up to SmackDown, which is awesome. So we've got
<v Speaker 3>Nathan Fraser in pretty deadly with the tag and Phraxium
<v Speaker 3>not having it all their own way. Early on, Fraser
<v Speaker 3>with a tag tat Axiom from nowhere, and then we
<v Speaker 3>get some amazing Phraxium double team moves, absolutely breathtaking. They
<v Speaker 3>are so quick it's unbelievable. Pretty deadly though not being
<v Speaker 3>buried here. They are making a good account of themselves
<v Speaker 3>in a massive Spanish fly and a Phoenix splash finishes
<v Speaker 3>this one off though, with Phraxium still looking brilliant. I'm excited,
<v Speaker 3>so excited to see these guys on SmackDown. They are great,
<v Speaker 3>and they start off their SmackDown career with two wins
<v Speaker 3>in a row. Backstage, now we have beefab and meeting.
<v Speaker 3>They're talking to Nick Ordis and saying that once Livin
<v Speaker 3>mckel come back from their holiday film in a movie
<v Speaker 3>or something, they want a tag title shot. Before Nick
<v Speaker 3>can answer, though, he's interrupted by the secret hervis and
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea Green. She's dressed all in black like she's grieving
<v Speaker 3>for her title and says she wants to rematch. Nick
<v Speaker 3>says not tonight, as Elena Vega is going one to
<v Speaker 3>one with Piper Nivin and if she wins, she will
<v Speaker 3>be number one contender. I'm not sure I'm ready for
<v Speaker 3>these three to be split up, so I hope that's
<v Speaker 3>not where they're going with this. Although that said, I
<v Speaker 3>would love to see Piper on a good single runs
<v Speaker 3>just as herself as she is awesome, So a little
<v Speaker 3>bit conflicted. Next up, we have Naya Jacks, who just
<v Speaker 3>reappeared from nowhere last week. Honestly, I'd totally forgotten she
<v Speaker 3>was even on SmackDown. As you know, I'm not a
<v Speaker 3>fan of Naya, so I can't be impartial. But let's
<v Speaker 3>see where this run takes us. From last week. It
<v Speaker 3>looks like we were having another go round of Tiffy
<v Speaker 3>versus Naya. As Nya comes out, she gets a very
<v Speaker 3>frosty reception from the crowd. To be fair to her,
<v Speaker 3>she embraces it and says sounds like you will miss me. No,
<v Speaker 3>But as I said, Lisa's embracing it. She says she's
<v Speaker 3>happy to be back. Since she was gone, she's been
<v Speaker 3>getting refocused and regrouping so she could come back and
<v Speaker 3>take what is hers the title. Yawn, this is meant.
<v Speaker 3>We have massive booze obviously, and outcomes Tiffy, who is
<v Speaker 3>more over than ever. She says that she isn't the
<v Speaker 3>same Tiffy that Nya used to push around and says
<v Speaker 3>that cashing in on Nya was the greatest thing that
<v Speaker 3>she did for her career and since then she's beaten
<v Speaker 3>the goat Charlotte and if they meet again, she would
<v Speaker 3>meet her too. She says she'll defend her title anytime,
<v Speaker 3>any place, anywhere, and at that randomly, Before Nia can
<v Speaker 3>get in any kind of reply, we get Naomi coming
<v Speaker 3>out and she says it's fun to see them fighting
<v Speaker 3>for months. She says it was Tiffy that stopped her
<v Speaker 3>from winning the title over and over again. Naomi says
<v Speaker 3>that Tiffy thinks that she's changed, but actually Naomi's really
<v Speaker 3>really changed. She isn't the sweet Naomi anymore. She took
<v Speaker 3>out Jade and she'll take out anyone who gets in
<v Speaker 3>her way. As she's walking down to the ring, she
<v Speaker 3>starts going off script presumaything giving out to the crowd,
<v Speaker 3>which is brilliant. And before she gets to the ring,
<v Speaker 3>we get Jade out, who doesn't have a mic. She
<v Speaker 3>just wants to fight and goes right for Naomi. Meanwhile,
<v Speaker 3>Tiffy and Naya start on each other. The outcome of
<v Speaker 3>all that is that we get Jade in the ring
<v Speaker 3>with Tiffany, Nick comes out and Teddy long Style makes
<v Speaker 3>a tag match Tiffany and Jade versus Nya and Naomi
<v Speaker 3>for later on tonight. This was a good segment. I
<v Speaker 3>wonder if we are seeing niaverse he's Tiffy again. And
<v Speaker 3>where is Charlotte. I wonder where is she fitting in
<v Speaker 3>to all this picture. I'm not saying that particularly want
<v Speaker 3>her to be fitted in anywhere as a matter of fact,
<v Speaker 3>because the women's division just seems really great on SmackDown
<v Speaker 3>at the moment, but it can't be denied that Charlotte
<v Speaker 3>is an absolutely huge star, so no doubt she is
<v Speaker 3>going to be fitting in somewhere. We now go backstage
<v Speaker 3>with Miss and he is with his new psychic Camela Hayes,
<v Speaker 3>and he is basically on one telling Mellow that he
<v Speaker 3>has knocked off plenty of flavors of the month and
<v Speaker 3>he will make a statement tonight by taking out Alistair Black.
<v Speaker 3>Next up, We've got that much and it's Miss versus
<v Speaker 3>Alistair Black. Alistair Black's entrance is seriously cool. It's a
<v Speaker 3>little bit undertaker and really good to see him back
<v Speaker 3>in WWE. He looks like he could literally and actually
<v Speaker 3>kill the Miss, and he starts off strong and honestly,
<v Speaker 3>Mis looks outclass. To be fair, Mis does get some
<v Speaker 3>offense in, but it's quickly knocked out by a massive kick.
<v Speaker 3>Slightly deeper into the match, Mis goes for the it kicks,
<v Speaker 3>but Alista Black just laughs at him. As we continue,
<v Speaker 3>Miss goes for the skull question finally, but Alistair Black
<v Speaker 3>counters with a cartwheel, which is one of the most
<v Speaker 3>awesome counters I've ever seen. It looked so cool, and
<v Speaker 3>follows up with another massive kick. We're gonna get Mellow
<v Speaker 3>up on the ring. Apron trying to distract Black doesn't work,
<v Speaker 3>but he then turns around and hits Black mass on
<v Speaker 3>the mis Honestly, you could have counted to one hundred
<v Speaker 3>misses out of it, and Black gets the win. I
<v Speaker 3>love Alista Black. I think he's really different. At the moment,
<v Speaker 3>there is no one like him on the Mackdown. I'm
<v Speaker 3>excited to see how he gets booked under the new regime.
<v Speaker 3>He faces off with Mellow on his way out of
<v Speaker 3>the ring, so I'm assuming that on the way to
<v Speaker 3>whatever the big plan for Alistair Black is, We've got
<v Speaker 3>Mellow next, which should be a pretty cool match because
<v Speaker 3>they're both certainly talented guys. We go backstage where Santos
<v Speaker 3>is talking to Phoenix. Santos tells him his performance that
<v Speaker 3>Mania was an embarrassment and he should be ashamed he
<v Speaker 3>lost to Gerande a Melicano. He says he hopes this
<v Speaker 3>time Ray Mysterio is gone for good and he's ready
<v Speaker 3>to step up and be the leader in his place.
<v Speaker 3>Phoenix says, there's anyone luchied or he trusts, and that's
<v Speaker 3>Ray Mysterio. So soon as we're going to have a
<v Speaker 3>luchard or feud, which I think is pretty cool. These
<v Speaker 3>two are both awesome. We'll all go tonight and we
<v Speaker 3>are straight back to the action. We have Selena Vega
<v Speaker 3>versus Piper Niven. Wade starts off on comms, pointing out
<v Speaker 3>the huge difference in size and snatcher of these two
<v Speaker 3>and anyone watching who couldn't see that probably go specsavers.
<v Speaker 3>Selena starts off well, using her mobility and speed, and
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea outside the ring, dressed in full black complete with
<v Speaker 3>a veil, playing the grief stricken one is comedy genius.
<v Speaker 3>I love Chelsea in this role. I think it would
<v Speaker 3>be quite fine if we just get months and years
<v Speaker 3>of Chelsea chasing him back after the title and never
<v Speaker 3>quite getting it. I think that would be great. Meanwhile,
<v Speaker 3>in the ring, we've got Piper in charge and she
<v Speaker 3>slows down the match, making her power pay. Zelena tries
<v Speaker 3>to go up top but gets a massive slap in
<v Speaker 3>the face. As Piper looks to go up top two
<v Speaker 3>to meet her, but Bager manages to hit a meteora
<v Speaker 3>up from the top, getting a two count. Piper goes
<v Speaker 3>for the cannonball in the corner, but Zelna moves and
<v Speaker 3>she then hits a moon salt and gets another two count.
<v Speaker 3>She goes to hit the six to one nine, but
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea up to the apron, causing the distraction. Piper going
<v Speaker 3>for the sneak attack from behind but accidentally takes out
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea and Vega takes advantage of that, getting the roll
<v Speaker 3>up victory on Piper. So this was a decent enough
<v Speaker 3>match four straight weeks. Now, though, that shenanigans and misunderstandings
<v Speaker 3>that have led to Chelsea and the Secret Harvest being beaten.
<v Speaker 3>So who's next for Zelena? Do we want to see
<v Speaker 3>someone like Charlotte fight for the mid card title? Maybe
<v Speaker 3>Charlotte hasn't been around since we've bought the Intercontinental and
<v Speaker 3>the US Women's titles in so maybe that's the route
<v Speaker 3>for Charlotte. Something a bit different backstage, and Nicol is
<v Speaker 3>giving Solo and Fatou rolickin for causing another match to
<v Speaker 3>be thrown out. Nick makes a triple threat match for Backslash,
<v Speaker 3>which is Fatou versus Priest versus Night. Solo kicks off
<v Speaker 3>and says that if anyone should be getting the match,
<v Speaker 3>it should be Drew as the number one contender. Nick says,
<v Speaker 3>actually you're right forget the triple threat match, and he
<v Speaker 3>makes it a fatal four weight with Drew included. Honestly,
<v Speaker 3>Fato just gives absolutely no dams and it's just like
<v Speaker 3>bring it on. To be honest, Solo seems more peed
<v Speaker 3>off about it. Fatuo, like I said, zero s given.
<v Speaker 3>Next up, we have Randy to speak about his match.
<v Speaker 3>We've seen it at Backlash. He says to John Cena
<v Speaker 3>that even though the world couldn't see him, they'll play
<v Speaker 3>on seene as you can't see me. He says it
<v Speaker 3>took twenty years for everyone to realize what kind of
<v Speaker 3>guy he is, but he knew all along that he's arrogant, selfish,
<v Speaker 3>and an entitled rat. He says he was a shiny
<v Speaker 3>toy to be played with by the ultimate puppet Master,
<v Speaker 3>which I thought, Wow, that's one hundred percent certainly a
<v Speaker 3>reference to Vince, because that Vince McMahon documentary on Netflix
<v Speaker 3>has got him depicted as the puppet Master, which is true.
<v Speaker 3>And that's a couple of times in the last few
<v Speaker 3>weeks that we've had some digs, let's say, to the
<v Speaker 3>previous regime and Vince specifically. Randy says he took full
<v Speaker 3>advantage of the PG era, being happy to basically become
<v Speaker 3>a cartoon character. He says that all he cares about
<v Speaker 3>is his bottom line, which has brought in fame, fortune,
<v Speaker 3>and a move into the mainstream. He says he has
<v Speaker 3>absolutely rinsed the merch in order to squeeze every single
<v Speaker 3>penny out of all the kids and the fans, and
<v Speaker 3>Randy mentions what Sina said last week about raising everyone
<v Speaker 3>else's kids. He says that selling your soul isn't a
<v Speaker 3>new concept to him again reference back to this whole
<v Speaker 3>thing with the Rock which then completely disappeared. So selling
<v Speaker 3>his soul isn't a new concept to him. He's been
<v Speaker 3>doing that for the last twenty years, He says. What
<v Speaker 3>happened to loyalty and respect from hustle? Loyalty and respect,
<v Speaker 3>he says last week, Sena said he would have raised
<v Speaker 3>Randy's family name from history, but Randy said he isn't
<v Speaker 3>the last great champion. He is the latest legend that
<v Speaker 3>he will put down. And I just think, man, I
<v Speaker 3>hope that Randy punts Sena's head off. I am so
<v Speaker 3>looking forward to this match. Twenty twenty five, guys, It's
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty five and we've got Seena versus or what
<v Speaker 3>a match it could be. We now go backstage where
<v Speaker 3>we have Naya and Naomi. Naya tells Naomi they need
<v Speaker 3>to be on the same page, and she basically tells
<v Speaker 3>Naomi stay out of her way in the match tonight.
<v Speaker 3>We've now got the match between Ray Phoenix and Santos,
<v Speaker 3>and I don't think the crowd recognized that Ray Phoenix's
<v Speaker 3>music as it was met with deadly silence at first,
<v Speaker 3>which is a bit of a shame and killed off
<v Speaker 3>the atmosphere of it. We start off with a chop fest,
<v Speaker 3>so I think you'd more expect to see in a
<v Speaker 3>good for match rather than a luchard or fight. Phoenix
<v Speaker 3>with an impressive move countering through the ropes in what
<v Speaker 3>Wade called a nine to one six. I don't know
<v Speaker 3>what it was called, but either way, it looked awesome
<v Speaker 3>and this guy has got some serious skills. So Santos, though,
<v Speaker 3>he flies through the ropes at a massive amount of
<v Speaker 3>speed and smashes Phoenix onto the floor. Phoenix starting to
<v Speaker 3>get some fence in and hits an amazing looking moon
<v Speaker 3>Salt getting a near full. I think it's interesting that
<v Speaker 3>they have not made Ray Phoenix look as strong as Penta.
<v Speaker 3>Phoenix has been booked as much more fallible, beatable, I suppose,
<v Speaker 3>and took the loss at Mania, whereas Penta has been
<v Speaker 3>booked like a superhero. And yes he lost at Mania two,
<v Speaker 3>but the circumstances I think were slightly different. It was
<v Speaker 3>a triple threat match or sorry, a fatal for a match,
<v Speaker 3>and was for a title, so slightly different. But I
<v Speaker 3>just think that's interesting when they are they you know
<v Speaker 3>they've been built previously as the same. This one wraps
<v Speaker 3>up quickly though, with Ray Phoenix hitting a top rope
<v Speaker 3>meteora and getting the free count for the win. So
<v Speaker 3>he does get the win. Some standout moves from both
<v Speaker 3>guys in this match had a touch of the logan
<v Speaker 3>Paul's about it. By that, I mean it felt a
<v Speaker 3>little bit like a series of spots and cool moves
<v Speaker 3>rather than a match that was flowing. But again that's
<v Speaker 3>just my opinion and it might just be me. We
<v Speaker 3>go backstage and we've got Byron with Tiffany and Jade,
<v Speaker 3>and she says she gets it. Nia is mad and
<v Speaker 3>as long as Jade stays out of her way, everything
<v Speaker 3>will be fine. Jade says she's spoken to Nick and
<v Speaker 3>next week that she will fight Nia Jack's for the
<v Speaker 3>number one contender spot for Tiffany's title, And I guess
<v Speaker 3>that adds an extra level of interest to the main
<v Speaker 3>event tonight as well. So nice storytelling. Backstage, Now we've
<v Speaker 3>got Levarda Delfantasma and Santos's chewing them ounts, screaming at
<v Speaker 3>them basically for not helping him out tonight in the
<v Speaker 3>match he's just had. And Arde comes along and says
<v Speaker 3>he knows Santos doesn't care about Los Gaza and he
<v Speaker 3>doesn't like him. He says that he doesn't have legacy,
<v Speaker 3>respect or honor. It looks like Andrade is trying to
<v Speaker 3>split up Legarda del Fantasma. Would we like to see
<v Speaker 3>Berto and Gaza break away from Santos, maybe join forces
<v Speaker 3>with Andrade instead, or maybe just be not part of
<v Speaker 3>the faction and maybe just being a straight up tag team.
<v Speaker 3>I don't mind. I think their last gimmick prior to
<v Speaker 3>this was the I think it was called Lathario's Lost Latharios,
<v Speaker 3>which was a bit lame, a bit bit Actu chwed
<v Speaker 3>Era esque. But can't you can't deny that Los Gazos
<v Speaker 3>have got brilliant moves, excellent skill and are a phenomenal
<v Speaker 3>tag team. Maybe it's time for them to break away
<v Speaker 3>from the guard at Elfantasma. Let's see whether or not
<v Speaker 3>they end up aligning with under are they or just
<v Speaker 3>stand alone. Now we've got this even his main event,
<v Speaker 3>and it basically starts off with a straight up fight.
<v Speaker 3>All four women are at each other and the ref
<v Speaker 3>has zero control to be fair, doesn't even try. We've
<v Speaker 3>pretty much got two separate fights going on. We've got
<v Speaker 3>Nyron Tiffany going at it on the outside, and we've
<v Speaker 3>got Jade in the ring with Naomi. So I guess
<v Speaker 3>they are the legal ladies and we're going to get started.
<v Speaker 3>Naomi has the advantage over Jade in the early goings.
<v Speaker 3>I really like Hill Naomi. She has turned so seamlessly.
<v Speaker 3>It's a master cast. It doesn't make me wonder about
<v Speaker 3>all those wasted years that she's had in WWE. Wish
<v Speaker 3>hasn't really been used very much, and when she was
<v Speaker 3>she used it was kind of Lackey's sidekick. Anyway, heal Naomi.
<v Speaker 3>Now we've got Nya in who gets to work on
<v Speaker 3>Jade and takes out Tiffany for good measure. Jade's desperate
<v Speaker 3>for a tag, which finally we get, and then we've
<v Speaker 3>got Naya and Tiffany in the ring and Tiffany is rolling.
<v Speaker 3>She counters this samo and drop with a cruise fixed
<v Speaker 3>pin and she is absolutely killing it. Tonight looked awesome.
<v Speaker 3>Nya hits the samo and drop, but Naomi gets herself
<v Speaker 3>a blind tag and then goes on to miss to
<v Speaker 3>mess up the split leg Moon Salt, which infuriates NYA
<v Speaker 3>because they maybe might have had the wind there. Jade
<v Speaker 3>back in with Naomi and drops her straight on our face.
<v Speaker 3>Jade then hits a huge choke slam and goes for
<v Speaker 3>the cover, but Nya breaks it. Tiffy hits a swant
<v Speaker 3>on onto Nya, which again was an absolutely beautiful move,
<v Speaker 3>and again we've got chaos in the ring. Nya looks
<v Speaker 3>the annihilator on Jade, but Jade is up and gets
<v Speaker 3>a slam from the top rope, getting the cover for
<v Speaker 3>the win. So we've got Jade covering Nya for a
<v Speaker 3>pretty clean win, and that sets things up very nicely
<v Speaker 3>for next week's Number one Contender match, giving Jade the
<v Speaker 3>win over Nya already. Personally, I think I would prefer
<v Speaker 3>to see Jade versus Tiffany as Naya Tiffy has been
<v Speaker 3>done and done to death. We do get Naomi back
<v Speaker 3>at the end standing in the ring holding the title,
<v Speaker 3>which I thought looked pretty cool. Naomi as a heel
<v Speaker 3>with that title. Hopefully that could be a clue for
<v Speaker 3>the future, but that would be brilliant. I would love
<v Speaker 3>to see that for Naomi, so A'll be an equal
<v Speaker 3>after my three weeks away, I think I was treated
<v Speaker 3>to a pretty good show tonight. We've got loads of
<v Speaker 3>in ring action and further of some key storylines. I
<v Speaker 3>think we're going to get Fatoo as US Champion basically
<v Speaker 3>until he retires. He looks madly unbeatable. Perhaps he's just
<v Speaker 3>going to accumulate titles, go from show to show, and
<v Speaker 3>in the end it's just going to be Jacob Fattu's
<v Speaker 3>WWWI No Charlotte on tonight's show leaves me wondering what's
<v Speaker 3>the plan for her. I think I might start a
<v Speaker 3>little petition, a little push, let's get let's get Charlotte
<v Speaker 3>lined up for one of these mid card titles that
<v Speaker 3>the US or the Intercontinental. If they want to chuck
<v Speaker 3>on onto a different brand. So things are nicely set
<v Speaker 3>up for next week, where we will have Seena pre
<v Speaker 3>his match with Randy a backlash. Wouldn't it be cool
<v Speaker 3>if Randy won that? I don't think he will. I
<v Speaker 3>have no idea what the plan could be, but I
<v Speaker 3>do think that Seeming can't possibly be allowed to leave
<v Speaker 3>with the title, because ultimately, the whole point is that
<v Speaker 3>the good guys have got to beat the bad guys,
<v Speaker 3>right unless seen it turns around and turns face again
<v Speaker 3>at some point, but I don't know how on earth
<v Speaker 3>they would manufacture that, So I don't think he can
<v Speaker 3>be allowed to leave with the title. So I think
<v Speaker 3>he's going to drop it at some point before he leaves.
<v Speaker 3>Will we eventually get around to a Cody rematch where
<v Speaker 3>he wins the belt back? And that reminds me we
<v Speaker 3>haven't seen Cody for weeks. I don't think we've seen
<v Speaker 3>him since Mania, have we. It's a slight blur because
<v Speaker 3>I watching the programs, the programming from WWE while I
<v Speaker 3>was away on holiday, but not necessarily at the right time.
<v Speaker 3>We're in the right order, But yeah, I don't think
<v Speaker 3>we've seen him, so we need to see Cody, we
<v Speaker 3>need him to talk, we need to hear his plan.
<v Speaker 3>Perhaps he comes back up backlash and what's then the
<v Speaker 3>next parly? Is it money in the bank. Anyway, it
<v Speaker 3>feels like we're in a pretty good place at the moment.
<v Speaker 3>A great show tonight. Raw's looking good and as I said,
<v Speaker 3>nicely teed up to move into Backlash. So guys, that
<v Speaker 3>just about does it for this week's show. As always,
<v Speaker 3>thank you for having me in your ears, and until
<v Speaker 3>next week, remember be kind.
