WWE SmackDown Review: Cody Rhodes Responds to Solo, DIY & Street Profits vs The Bloodline, Final Show on Fox

<v Speaker 1>Listen is WWE Superstar Droom McIntyre and you're listening to
<v Speaker 1>the WWE podcast show, the one that everybody wants me.
<v Speaker 2>So glad to welcome yours. This is mind We're gonna
<v Speaker 2>acknowledge me. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, Hello, whatever
<v Speaker 2>time it is with you and wherever you are. Thank
<v Speaker 2>you for downloading this SmackDown with you as part of
<v Speaker 2>the WWE podcast. This is week number eleven, believe it
<v Speaker 2>or not, and it's an absolute pleasure to have you
<v Speaker 2>listen along once again. And thank you so much for
<v Speaker 2>everyone who's taken the time to reach out this week
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter or x whatever we're calling it these days,
<v Speaker 2>through your d ms or interactions. Great fun. So for
<v Speaker 2>anyone who hasn't done so yet and who would like
<v Speaker 2>to please follow me, I am at Amanda SD pod.
<v Speaker 2>That's at Amanda sd pod. So what did you guys
<v Speaker 2>think of BASH in Berlin? I thought it was good,
<v Speaker 2>not excellent, but definitely good. I don't think there were
<v Speaker 2>any surprises and didn't see anything that we weren't really expecting.
<v Speaker 2>I'm obviously delighted to do better with my own predictions
<v Speaker 2>this time. Round four out of five so we'll take that.
<v Speaker 2>And in my opinion, and only my opinion, the best
<v Speaker 2>match of the night was Punk versus Drew and I
<v Speaker 2>think that was closely followed by Dom and Live versus
<v Speaker 2>the Terror Twins, which I also really enjoyed. I thought
<v Speaker 2>both of the men's championship matches were only okay. I
<v Speaker 2>still remain unconvinced by the whole Ko Cody thing and
<v Speaker 2>the tag team championship match also I thought was good
<v Speaker 2>for anyone who cares. This week autumn or fall, if
<v Speaker 2>you're in the US, has well and truly arrived in
<v Speaker 2>the UK. But let me avoid the British stereotype and
<v Speaker 2>not talk about the weather. But let me just say
<v Speaker 2>it absolutely sucks. It's hot, cold, and humid all at
<v Speaker 2>the same time a real joy. Please you come here
<v Speaker 2>experience it. So let's get to it the reason you're
<v Speaker 2>all here and start the review for the SmackDown that
<v Speaker 2>aired on September sixth from Edmonton, which is in Alberta, Canada.
<v Speaker 2>For anyone who's interested, I have been to Canada. I've
<v Speaker 2>been to a couple of different places. I did a
<v Speaker 2>little tour of Alaska and that took in some parts
<v Speaker 2>of Canada, as well, so yeah, been there, but not
<v Speaker 2>been to Edmundton. First of all, this evening, we see
<v Speaker 2>Bailey arriving at the arena, and we also see Giovanna Vinci,
<v Speaker 2>who is here to make his debut or return against
<v Speaker 2>Apollo Cruz later tonight. My immediate thoughts when seeing this
<v Speaker 2>match was that I was going to go out on
<v Speaker 2>a limb early on and say that Vinci will get
<v Speaker 2>the win over Cruise, and we'll see how that develops
<v Speaker 2>as the show goes on. We see Cody backstage signing
<v Speaker 2>some merch and we get a replay of the highlights
<v Speaker 2>of the match against Ko from Bash at Berlin. I
<v Speaker 2>still don't get the Ko angle with Cody's knee. Why
<v Speaker 2>was he not able to do the Ko thing and
<v Speaker 2>take for the advantage again? Why was he unable to
<v Speaker 2>do the power slam on the apron. I don't believe
<v Speaker 2>that it was easier for Ko to mug off Sammy,
<v Speaker 2>who we are led to believe and I actually do
<v Speaker 2>believe that has this been his mate for years, they've
<v Speaker 2>come up together. It was easier for Ko to stab
<v Speaker 2>him in the back, But yeah, he couldn't bring himself
<v Speaker 2>to do it to Cody. I don't get it. I
<v Speaker 2>don't buy it, but hopefully, thankfully that might be behind
<v Speaker 2>us now, so let's just move on. This is the
<v Speaker 2>last SmackDown on the Fox network in the US, As
<v Speaker 2>Cole reminds us, for anyone outside of the US, I
<v Speaker 2>don't think it really affects us that much until the
<v Speaker 2>big Netflix switich comes up in January, and my understanding
<v Speaker 2>at that point is that all WWE stuff will be
<v Speaker 2>going onto Netflix for everyone outside of the US, which
<v Speaker 2>would be great, should save us all a bit of
<v Speaker 2>a packet on our network fees, unless I'm mistaken and
<v Speaker 2>they continue to show ples on the network. But let's see. So, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>last last SmackDown on the Fox network. As we start
<v Speaker 2>the show tonight, we get Cody making his entrance to
<v Speaker 2>the huge pop as usual, and we have Cole and
<v Speaker 2>Corey as a commentary team. Cody is in the ring
<v Speaker 2>with the mic and obviously and as always, asks Edmonton
<v Speaker 2>what they want to talk about. He says that it's
<v Speaker 2>a large crowd tonight, and he starts talking about Bash
<v Speaker 2>and Berlin, giving kudos to Canada's own KO, which the
<v Speaker 2>crowd obviously goes wild for. He welcomes Cole back to SmackDown,
<v Speaker 2>and he says he could go on, but he's done
<v Speaker 2>this long enough to know he's going to be interrupted
<v Speaker 2>in a minute, and he says before that happens, he
<v Speaker 2>wants to extend an invitation to the Bloodline, which I
<v Speaker 2>think is a nice angle again, a little peek behind
<v Speaker 2>the curtain and stealing the bloodliness thunder because sure enough,
<v Speaker 2>out they come. Solo makes his way down to the ring,
<v Speaker 2>flanked by his new Bloodline. Solo enters the ring alone
<v Speaker 2>and tells the Bloodline to park themselves outside, and obviously
<v Speaker 2>is greeted by huge booze from the Canadian crowd. Solo
<v Speaker 2>asks Cody if he's done running his mouth and playing around,
<v Speaker 2>and he asks if Cody is ready to defend the
<v Speaker 2>title against a real challenger like him. Solo says, everyone
<v Speaker 2>knows he would have been champion at Summer Slam if
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't for Roman Reigns. Cody says the season premiere
<v Speaker 2>of SmackDown next week should have a championship match, and
<v Speaker 2>in the background, the crowd are chanting really loud that
<v Speaker 2>they want Roman, we want Roman, we want Roman, and
<v Speaker 2>Cody says that he does deserve a Champion Chip match,
<v Speaker 2>but he isn't talking to Solo. He's talking to Jacob Fattou.
<v Speaker 2>It's a bit of a weird swerve. But then we
<v Speaker 2>see why he did that. He says he stepped out
<v Speaker 2>of the shadow of the tribal Chief. So I guess
<v Speaker 2>Cody's just trying to sew a bit of division here
<v Speaker 2>between the bloodline and it seems to work. So looks
<v Speaker 2>as hell. Jacob comes to the ring apron and we
<v Speaker 2>think is he isn't he going to step in and
<v Speaker 2>step up to Cody, But instead Jacob says that he
<v Speaker 2>loves Solo and he is the tribal chief and he
<v Speaker 2>steps back down off the apron. Cody says, oh, well,
<v Speaker 2>it was worth a shot, and he said Solo is
<v Speaker 2>wearing the Lala, which means the Bloodline revolves around him,
<v Speaker 2>but Cody wears the title, which means that the WWE
<v Speaker 2>universe revolves around Cody, which I liked. I thought that
<v Speaker 2>was a that was a good, good comment and also
<v Speaker 2>acknowledges that now, actually, not to coin a phrase, we
<v Speaker 2>are kind of all saying that actually Solo is the
<v Speaker 2>legit tribal chief for now. Solo says he sees what
<v Speaker 2>Cody is trying to do to get his enforcer to
<v Speaker 2>turn on him, but it won't work, and then Solo says,
<v Speaker 2>we don't have to wait till next week, and he
<v Speaker 2>clicks his fingers and the Bloodline come into the ring.
<v Speaker 2>Before you can even turn around, Cody is joined in
<v Speaker 2>a ring by the Street Profits and Dady and before
<v Speaker 2>anything interesting can kick off, and nic Ordos, or as
<v Speaker 2>we know guys, Oblivion the Gladiator, puts a stop to things,
<v Speaker 2>threatening fines and suspension. He says he knows you will
<v Speaker 2>want to tear each other apart, and they can in
<v Speaker 2>the eight man tag match in the main event tonight.
<v Speaker 2>He then confirms that next week will be Cody versus
<v Speaker 2>Solo for the Undisputed Championship, but he goes on to
<v Speaker 2>say the Bloodline numbers game is getting old and boring
<v Speaker 2>and is bad for business, so the match next week
<v Speaker 2>will be a still cage match, which I think is awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Solo does not look too happy, but what a main
<v Speaker 2>event to look for to next week. Guys with no
<v Speaker 2>assistance from the Bloodline, or at the very least, it's
<v Speaker 2>much harder for them to go about their usual Shenelligans.
<v Speaker 2>We know that the steel cage match isn't magic. Somehow
<v Speaker 2>somebody always finds a way to get in on it,
<v Speaker 2>but it's not going to be easy. Guys. Could it
<v Speaker 2>be possible that Cody loses the belt here? It's a question.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean, it is possible, and it
<v Speaker 2>would make one hell of a start for the new
<v Speaker 2>era of SmackDown on the new channel over in the US,
<v Speaker 2>and then maybe set up a rematch a bad Blood
<v Speaker 2>where I assume Cody would win the belt back. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm getting a touch ahead of myself here, but
<v Speaker 2>fantasy booking, that's what we're all about, right, and that
<v Speaker 2>sounds quite exciting. But let's see. Also, I think tonight's
<v Speaker 2>main event won't be too shabby either. All of the
<v Speaker 2>guys that are going to be involved in this eight
<v Speaker 2>man tag have the skills to bring it and are
<v Speaker 2>super athletic, so we are in for a treaked here,
<v Speaker 2>good start to the show. We then go backstage. We
<v Speaker 2>have Tiffany Stratton and Pretty Deadly, who I love, and
<v Speaker 2>they're talking about Tiffany bringing about the end of Baby
<v Speaker 2>this evening and the premiere of SmackDown next week, and
<v Speaker 2>they mentioned they also have the premiere of Pretty Deadly
<v Speaker 2>the musical next week. Nia walks in and it all
<v Speaker 2>goes a bit quiet. She dismisses Pretty Deadly and says
<v Speaker 2>to Tiffany that the whole locker room is talking about
<v Speaker 2>how Tiffany was about to cash in on Nia last week,
<v Speaker 2>and isn't that crazy? I mean, honestly, guys, why doesn't
<v Speaker 2>I just watch it back on TV? Clearly, clearly and
<v Speaker 2>obviously Tiffany was about to cash in on her. But
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany says she would never do that and calls her
<v Speaker 2>her queen. She says she was only out there to
<v Speaker 2>help her and that it's probably Chelsea Green who is
<v Speaker 2>spreading these rumors because she's jealous of their friendship. Nya
<v Speaker 2>says she knows Tiffy would never lie to her and
<v Speaker 2>says she will be in her corner tonight to quote
<v Speaker 2>unquote help her like Tiffany did last week. Guys, this
<v Speaker 2>angle is getting some serious double bluff undertones now, like
<v Speaker 2>Friends when they all knew about chann't there and Monica,
<v Speaker 2>but they didn't know they knew she knew. You know
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? If you don't watch Friends, you don't know,
<v Speaker 2>but clearly Nia nose and Tiffy knows Niao's but they
<v Speaker 2>aren't saying it out loud. So my question is, has
<v Speaker 2>Tiffy missed her chance to use the briefcase in a
<v Speaker 2>sucker blow while pretending to be Nia's friend. It looks
<v Speaker 2>like it, and maybe over the next few weeks this
<v Speaker 2>will ramp off, ramp up, and we'll get the blow
<v Speaker 2>off that we deserve to this program. But again, this
<v Speaker 2>has been intriguing, and I can't help but think that
<v Speaker 2>in the old days this would have been overdone and
<v Speaker 2>dusted by now. But Triple H loves a slow burn. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>really good stuff. And then then we get cold on
<v Speaker 2>Comm's saying, is N'nia onto her? I mean, just in
<v Speaker 2>case anyone had missed the big, huge signposts, Cole, just
<v Speaker 2>make sure that anyone who you know had gone to
<v Speaker 2>make a cup of tea or for a quick Wei
<v Speaker 2>realizes that night is in fact probably definitely onto her. Anyway,
<v Speaker 2>We then go straight into the match. Bailey makes their
<v Speaker 2>entrance to a great pop, followed by Tiffany, who still
<v Speaker 2>gets a decent pop. She's still very over considering she's
<v Speaker 2>in a heel roll at the moment, and we get
<v Speaker 2>a quick reminder of what happened, first of all at
<v Speaker 2>SummerSlam with Tiffany's involvement and then the cash in non
<v Speaker 2>cash in from her last week, so that's still fresh
<v Speaker 2>in everyone's mind. As we kick off the match tonight,
<v Speaker 2>things are pretty even, with Bailey going for the early
<v Speaker 2>cover takes control, but Tiffany's gymnastic background helps her out
<v Speaker 2>and things get back even pretty quick. Tiffany, with a
<v Speaker 2>big right hand, gets Bailey in the corner, but she
<v Speaker 2>reverses and goes for another quick cover. Bailey is far
<v Speaker 2>too slow getting up to the top and most picked
<v Speaker 2>off by Tiffy, who gets her up on the shoulders
<v Speaker 2>ready for a possible powerslam onto the apron, but Bailey
<v Speaker 2>manages to sneak out the back and counter it. Tiffany
<v Speaker 2>stays in charge with a big, big drop kick on
<v Speaker 2>the apron, which we see in slow mo as we
<v Speaker 2>go to the break and looks pre epic. As we
<v Speaker 2>get back from the break, thankfully, Tiffany is still in
<v Speaker 2>charge and we get back elbow following on from a
<v Speaker 2>gymnastic tumble which Simone Biles herself would have been proud of.
<v Speaker 2>From across the ring, followed by Tiffany with some impressive
<v Speaker 2>power moves resulting in a near fall for her. And
<v Speaker 2>now apparently the commentary team was saying tonight that Tiffany
<v Speaker 2>Stratton's only been professionally wrestling for a few years now,
<v Speaker 2>and if this is the standard she's managed to reach
<v Speaker 2>in a few years, I shuddered to think how good
<v Speaker 2>she is going to be in another few years, because
<v Speaker 2>she is booming awesome. She continues to work on Bailey's arm.
<v Speaker 2>Bailey manages to reverse and delivers a slam on the outside,
<v Speaker 2>quickly gets Tiffany back into the ring with a couple
<v Speaker 2>of massive clotheslines and a huge knee covered by Bailey,
<v Speaker 2>Tiffy kicks out into Bailey up to the top rope
<v Speaker 2>and hits her flying elbow for another two count as
<v Speaker 2>then Nya makes her way to the ring and off
<v Speaker 2>of that distraction, Tiffany pulls out to massive power moves
<v Speaker 2>and covers Bailey, which she kicks out of. Bailey then
<v Speaker 2>hits Bailey to belly but can't capitalize, and then Bailey
<v Speaker 2>goes for a suicide dive through the ropes to take
<v Speaker 2>out Nia. We then get Nia popping up on the apron,
<v Speaker 2>distracting the reference referee, but it seems to backfire as
<v Speaker 2>whilst the referee is distracted, Tiffany has Bailey's shoulders down.
<v Speaker 2>There's no count. The ref notice is too late. Bailey
<v Speaker 2>kicks out, hits the rose plant and gets the three
<v Speaker 2>count for the wim. Bailey rolls out of the ring
<v Speaker 2>pretty quick as Nya is looking to get into it
<v Speaker 2>after the wim. I thought this was a great match.
<v Speaker 2>These two are really well matched in terms of their
<v Speaker 2>athletic ability and move capabilities. I would definitely like to
<v Speaker 2>see more of these two going at it, perhaps if
<v Speaker 2>and when Tiffany gets the belt or a belt. A
<v Speaker 2>really good start to the show in terms of the
<v Speaker 2>match anyway, and a good further fueling of the Naya
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany betrayal storyline too, so some excellent stuff to start
<v Speaker 2>off with tonight. We then go backstage where we see
<v Speaker 2>Ko looking at a poster of someone called Wayne Gret's Key.
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea who he is, but he looks
<v Speaker 2>like a local sports style probably ice hockey wallet and
<v Speaker 2>theory can't. Ko taking the mick, says he's there looking
<v Speaker 2>at a bunch of losers which I think is the
<v Speaker 2>local ice hockey team that plays in this arena. Theory
<v Speaker 2>says that Ko said he didn't deserve the match with Cody,
<v Speaker 2>and it looks like he proved himself right, and Wallace says,
<v Speaker 2>hang on, they all see it aren't even friends anymore,
<v Speaker 2>as they didn't see Ko out there helping with the bloodline,
<v Speaker 2>which is a good point, right, We didn't see Ko
<v Speaker 2>make his usual save. Ko says, you two are idiots
<v Speaker 2>and morons. They shouldn't worry about him and Cody. They're
<v Speaker 2>just fine, just like Walert and Theory, who are better
<v Speaker 2>than fine, right, great friends, great partners, and a great team.
<v Speaker 2>And Ko says he's not has an idea and sets
<v Speaker 2>up a triple threat match tonight, Ko versus Wallet versus Theory,
<v Speaker 2>and he goes straight off to michold Us of Olivia
<v Speaker 2>and the Gladia to make the match official. We then see
<v Speaker 2>Giovanna Vinci ready for his match with Apollo, which looks
<v Speaker 2>like it's coming up. But before we get that match,
<v Speaker 2>we get a pre recorded segment with Legardo del Fantasma
<v Speaker 2>where Angel is in there bragging about how great last
<v Speaker 2>week was. Escobar comes into the room. He says that
<v Speaker 2>last week was good, but was there a championship on
<v Speaker 2>the line. They shouldn't be shocked by success. They make
<v Speaker 2>the success and it's theirs. Angel says that it's their
<v Speaker 2>time and SmackDown will belong to logarda delf Fantasma. It
<v Speaker 2>was a nice little segment and I think it signals
<v Speaker 2>intent that we're going to have a push for the
<v Speaker 2>garded helf Fantasma, which I am okay with. I like them,
<v Speaker 2>I think they're good, so let's see where that goes.
<v Speaker 2>We then get Giovanni make his entrance and he gets
<v Speaker 2>what I would think, in my opinion, is a pretty
<v Speaker 2>lukewarm reaction, which is a shame as wwe have built
<v Speaker 2>him and his return up a lot over the last
<v Speaker 2>few weeks. The commentary team, specifically Corey continues to pig
<v Speaker 2>him up by saying if Lamborghini made humans, it would
<v Speaker 2>be him. Cole says, well, he hasn't done anything yet
<v Speaker 2>except come back, which I thought was hilarious and pretty
<v Speaker 2>much what we're all thinking. And also, you know, isn't
<v Speaker 2>that the old Carlin line? Was it Carlin or was
<v Speaker 2>it Carlsberg? I don't know anyway, one of those big
<v Speaker 2>lager brands in the UK who used to say if
<v Speaker 2>Carling made such and such, you know it would be anyway. Sorry,
<v Speaker 2>the cruise is already in the ring, so yeah again
<v Speaker 2>I think for the second or third week, and very
<v Speaker 2>doesn't get any kind of entrance. Genevano Vinci is building
<v Speaker 2>his part. He's got this looking white track suit on
<v Speaker 2>and he's taking his time getting it all off, and
<v Speaker 2>the referee is asking him to hurry up. Eventually, the
<v Speaker 2>referee loses his rag and gets the bell rung, and
<v Speaker 2>Apollo comes up from behind, rolls him up for the
<v Speaker 2>free count and takes the win. Honestly, guys, you could
<v Speaker 2>have knocked me down with a feather. What the actual
<v Speaker 2>I did not see that coming? What a mug I said?
<v Speaker 2>Oh a polo will definitely lose here. Apollo definitely didn't
<v Speaker 2>lose here. Just yeah, wow. Giovanni Vinci is mad as hell,
<v Speaker 2>looks as shocked as everyone else and is gesticulating about
<v Speaker 2>even get my tracksuit off. X y Z just shocked shocked.
<v Speaker 2>So there we go, a losing start to Giovanni Vinci's
<v Speaker 2>debut stroke return. Then we go backstage and get Chelsea
<v Speaker 2>Green in with Nick Orders complaining about what happened at NXT.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see that, but I did see some little
<v Speaker 2>clips of it on Twitter. Meeching interrupts, coming into the
<v Speaker 2>office with a nice pack on her stomach and wondering
<v Speaker 2>if she's had that same nice pack all week or
<v Speaker 2>did something else happen, But we then learn that she's
<v Speaker 2>selling the injury. Chelsea says it's funny how her match
<v Speaker 2>ended in a trash can as that's where trash goes,
<v Speaker 2>and meechings as the last time we saw Chelsea she
<v Speaker 2>was getting her brain scrambled on NXT. So I mean,
<v Speaker 2>this is a bit bitchy between these two, a bit,
<v Speaker 2>I guess what you'd say, a bit high school. But
<v Speaker 2>it's fun and it's getting obviously more women onto the show,
<v Speaker 2>which you know, I'm very happy about. Continue to build them. Surprise, surprise,
<v Speaker 2>Nick Orders makes the match between Meeting and Chelsea. Meeching delighted,
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea not so much, and we go straight back out
<v Speaker 2>to the ring. We've got the triple threat match. We
<v Speaker 2>get Ko makes his entrance and obviously being a Canadian,
<v Speaker 2>gets a great reaction. As we come back from the
<v Speaker 2>break outcome theory and Waller, so unless Theory and Waller
<v Speaker 2>do fall out, Basically this is a handicap match. We
<v Speaker 2>start off and Ko dumps both out of the ring
<v Speaker 2>and follows them to the outside. KO is off to
<v Speaker 2>a hot start, but the numbers work against him in
<v Speaker 2>the end as they drive him into the barricade. Waller
<v Speaker 2>sits up a table as Theory is on the wrong
<v Speaker 2>end of a punch and Ko, allowing Ko to put
<v Speaker 2>Waller through the table, and as we go to the break,
<v Speaker 2>we get a slow mirth Waller going through the table,
<v Speaker 2>which is pretty cool. We come back, Ko is still
<v Speaker 2>in charge and Theory is in the ring trading blows
<v Speaker 2>Ko hits a massive kick, followed by a clothesline and
<v Speaker 2>a sent tom and then a cannon ball to fear
<v Speaker 2>and a swant on for the cover. So good little
<v Speaker 2>sequence of moves from Ko, but Waller breaks it up
<v Speaker 2>in the nick of time and Waller is now in
<v Speaker 2>with Ko. Ko laves him out with punch, hits a
<v Speaker 2>rolling blockbuster by Fury which puts Ko down and Waller
<v Speaker 2>jumps him for the cover, but Fury pulls him off
<v Speaker 2>at the two count, clearly upset that Waller is trying
<v Speaker 2>to Nick the wir that knit the win. They start
<v Speaker 2>to have a row in the ring, but then they
<v Speaker 2>manage to get back on the same page, turn their
<v Speaker 2>attention to Ko double team in him, but failing as
<v Speaker 2>Ko knocks them both off the top of the ropes
<v Speaker 2>and Fury gets hit with a rolling sent on from
<v Speaker 2>the top and goes for the cover, which once again
<v Speaker 2>Waller breaks up. Waller gets caught by Ko from the top,
<v Speaker 2>and then this time Fury breaks up the cover. We
<v Speaker 2>then get stunner on the Fury for the free count
<v Speaker 2>and Ko takes the win. Then there's some afters as
<v Speaker 2>Waller attacks Ko from behind and Fury joins in, leaving
<v Speaker 2>Ko down in the ring. Some more good storytelling here
<v Speaker 2>as we get to the presumed turn on each other
<v Speaker 2>at the end of a Town down Under. This is
<v Speaker 2>another super slow burn, but I do think the payoff
<v Speaker 2>will be worth it and leave us with some great
<v Speaker 2>matches between these two and hopefully leaving Fury as the face.
<v Speaker 2>I think that fits better. The match itself was good,
<v Speaker 2>nice to see Ko get the whim. An Atown down
<v Speaker 2>Under do have all the moves, so there are always
<v Speaker 2>a pleasure to watch. They are really good tag team
<v Speaker 2>a real good team put together there by w w E.
<v Speaker 2>We now get a reminder of of the program so
<v Speaker 2>far between Carmelo and and Dade, and I assume we
<v Speaker 2>will be get in the final match of this series soon.
<v Speaker 2>I hope we do. This has been built from pretty
<v Speaker 2>much nothing and has now become absolutely must watch. I
<v Speaker 2>have to say I wasn't really a fan of this
<v Speaker 2>in the beginning, but now I'm absolutely loving it. I
<v Speaker 2>think these two are great. We then get La Night
<v Speaker 2>making his way to the ring and as always, gets
<v Speaker 2>a great pop. Let's hope that we're going to get
<v Speaker 2>to see who is next up for the US champ.
<v Speaker 2>He tells us that he is just thirty days into
<v Speaker 2>his title reign and he's already defended successfully twice. A
<v Speaker 2>slide dig I think at Logan Paul, who defended twice
<v Speaker 2>in whatever that was like eight months or ten months
<v Speaker 2>or anyway long and very few defenses. He says that
<v Speaker 2>everyone is running for his title, but nobody is getting
<v Speaker 2>his title. And then we have Camello coming out says
<v Speaker 2>he shouldn't brag about two title defenses while he's been
<v Speaker 2>carrying SmackDown on his back. He is two up on
<v Speaker 2>ANDRADI so by default is next in line for the
<v Speaker 2>title out comes. Andrade surely he will have something to
<v Speaker 2>say here, and he does. He says for Melo to
<v Speaker 2>calm down, and he reminds Mellow that it's actually two
<v Speaker 2>two and rants in Spanish at night. But Knight says
<v Speaker 2>he has no idea what he just said, but he
<v Speaker 2>might want to check his tone and uses inside voice,
<v Speaker 2>which I think is brilliant. So that kind of thing
<v Speaker 2>to kids, inside voice please, or when someone's drunk. It
<v Speaker 2>kicks off between Andrade and Mellow and Night bft's Andrade
<v Speaker 2>and whilst Mello is choppsing off to Andrade laying on
<v Speaker 2>the floor at night. Also bft's him, which is good.
<v Speaker 2>A great segment, and I guess we are headed to
<v Speaker 2>the winner of match five gets a title shot. Sounds
<v Speaker 2>good to me. I personally hope it's under our day.
<v Speaker 2>That would be pretty cool. So hopefully that is where
<v Speaker 2>we're headed. That's what I'd like to see anyway. We
<v Speaker 2>then get Waller and Fury walking backstage and Waller is
<v Speaker 2>telling Fury that they're the best tag team. YadA YadA, yadda.
<v Speaker 2>They bump into Nick and ask him to make a
<v Speaker 2>match next week, the two of them versus Kao and
<v Speaker 2>whoever he can find to tag with, which Nick agrees.
<v Speaker 2>So who do we think Ko is going to find
<v Speaker 2>to tag with? Could it be a somebody returning? Could
<v Speaker 2>it be an XT call up? Obviously, they're really going
<v Speaker 2>hard to make this premiere look be a great show
<v Speaker 2>next week, so let's see that. That's quite exciting. So
<v Speaker 2>we have Kao versus Ko, and question Mark versus Waller
<v Speaker 2>and Theory. We now get Chelsea out for her matchal Meeting. Guys,
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize that Chelsea is Canadian too. Didn't know
<v Speaker 2>thought she was from somewhere in America. So we also
<v Speaker 2>get Meeting making her entrance, and she's still selling her
<v Speaker 2>injured ribs or mid section as Cole says. The match
<v Speaker 2>starts off with Meeting in charge, but Chelsea fights back,
<v Speaker 2>targeting Meeting's injury. Green gets a close cover and continues
<v Speaker 2>to target the ribs. Meeching gets a quick reversal and
<v Speaker 2>a two count piper up with the distraction allows Chelsea
<v Speaker 2>to get a sneaky roll up which Meeching manages to
<v Speaker 2>kick out of, and then Meeching takes charge with a
<v Speaker 2>dive to the outside before Piper makes her presence felt again.
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea takes advantage with the ref distracted and a Piper
<v Speaker 2>cannonball on the outside, followed by the unpretty her to
<v Speaker 2>meeting in the ring, and Chelsea gets the win. A
<v Speaker 2>quick match, a decent match. I think Meechin doesn't look
<v Speaker 2>too weakened because she's had some good build over recent weeks.
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think she's too weakened by the loss
<v Speaker 2>to Chelsea, as she did such a great job selling
<v Speaker 2>her injury. Chelsea's looking good in the ring and Pipe
<v Speaker 2>is doing a very good job as her wing woman.
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully they finally found something more purposeful for Piper Nivin
<v Speaker 2>to do with her and Chelsea. They were an unlikely couple,
<v Speaker 2>but actually it's working out quite nicely now. All around,
<v Speaker 2>pretty solid stuff and the bonus for the Canadians as
<v Speaker 2>they get another one of their own on the card. So,
<v Speaker 2>as I said, next week Premiere Premier is shaping up nicely.
<v Speaker 2>We have the tag team match Ko and Whoever versus
<v Speaker 2>Waller and Theory, also the decider between Mellow and Andrade,
<v Speaker 2>and of course the championship cage match Cody versus solo.
<v Speaker 2>So next week's card already looking very exciting. We go
<v Speaker 2>backstage where Byron has the street Profits and d r
<v Speaker 2>Y and he asks if they can stay on the
<v Speaker 2>same page tonight. Johnny says they can get on Montes
<v Speaker 2>degrees instead of it being all gushy and we love
<v Speaker 2>each other, though we do get some haylock. You know,
<v Speaker 2>we don't really like them, they don't really like us.
<v Speaker 2>We both want the same thing. However, tonight, for the
<v Speaker 2>greater good type thing, we're going to try and make
<v Speaker 2>it count against the Bloodline, which I thought was a
<v Speaker 2>much more believable angle than perhaps what we may have
<v Speaker 2>got in the past. So the Bloodline make their entrance
<v Speaker 2>as we come back from the break. Profits are already
<v Speaker 2>out and dry come down to the ring. What I
<v Speaker 2>look like. They're really really mean business tonight. They've got
<v Speaker 2>their full angry faces on. So this one is going
<v Speaker 2>to be very difficult for the ref of us that
<v Speaker 2>it kicks off straight away with it all out punched
<v Speaker 2>up in the ring. The Profits and dl I clear
<v Speaker 2>the ring and then we start properly with Dawkins and Tamatonga.
<v Speaker 2>Montes is quickly tagged him and a big kick followed
<v Speaker 2>by a splash and a cover. Montes remains in charge,
<v Speaker 2>but things change pretty quickly as Tamatonga tags in beaten
<v Speaker 2>down on Montes. Montes counters, gets a tag to Johnny,
<v Speaker 2>and he tags in Champer. They briefly have the upper hand,
<v Speaker 2>but then in comes the absolute beast of Jacob Fattu
<v Speaker 2>and basically starts to kick champers ass as he tags
<v Speaker 2>in Solo, who has Champer outside. The ring and the
<v Speaker 2>Bloodline are very much in control as we go to
<v Speaker 2>the last break of the evening. As we come back,
<v Speaker 2>Champer turns the tables briefly on Tamatonga, who gets Solo
<v Speaker 2>back into the match. Chumper tags Dawkins and Johnny at
<v Speaker 2>the same time, who both get in and start taking
<v Speaker 2>out the Bloodline. Montes takes out Fatou and Johnny, Tamatonga,
<v Speaker 2>Dawkins with a neck breaker on Solo gets close to count.
<v Speaker 2>Solo hits the spinning Solo, but Champ kicks out and
<v Speaker 2>now we have these two legal. There's an all out
<v Speaker 2>brawl on outside. The ref has literally no control over this,
<v Speaker 2>and Champa takes Tamatonga off the top to the outside,
<v Speaker 2>taking out everyone, which with a pretty cool move. Montes
<v Speaker 2>comes off the top with four point fifty spin which
<v Speaker 2>and Fatou breaks the cover. Fatou, now legal, takes everyone
<v Speaker 2>out one by one, hits the Impaler on Montes and
<v Speaker 2>tags in solo, allowing him to hit two Samoan spikes
<v Speaker 2>and take the win for the Bloodline. So we finish
<v Speaker 2>off tonight's show once again again with the Bloodline standing
<v Speaker 2>tall with a big victory. It has to be said
<v Speaker 2>going into next week's championship match. All in all, a
<v Speaker 2>good show with some great stuff setting up for next
<v Speaker 2>week's premiere. I wonder if Roman will appear next week.
<v Speaker 2>I wonder maybe might we even get the Rock. They're obviously,
<v Speaker 2>as I said, building up the premiere as much as
<v Speaker 2>they can, and so they should. Maybe they'll put in
<v Speaker 2>an appearance at the end of the cage match. They
<v Speaker 2>need to get the new blood Line versus Old blood
<v Speaker 2>Line story back to the top of the page. So
<v Speaker 2>I really hope. So maybe we get Haman return next
<v Speaker 2>week again, I really hope. So. I know that Hayman
<v Speaker 2>and Roman have been out doing pr and interviews and
<v Speaker 2>stuff this week. I've seen that all over Twitter, So
<v Speaker 2>I'm really hoping that we get some movement in that
<v Speaker 2>story as well as the championship title match next week.
<v Speaker 2>So it seems to be to really high profile stories
<v Speaker 2>that are similar involving the same people, but they're not
<v Speaker 2>the same. It's quite an interesting angle. But yeah, a
<v Speaker 2>strong show to finish off on Fox, and we look
<v Speaker 2>forward to moving. I think it was called the USA Network,
<v Speaker 2>which seems from the adverts on tonight's show to seem
<v Speaker 2>to have the monopoly currently on all three shows, which
<v Speaker 2>is probably a good thing. So let's see what happens.
<v Speaker 2>But I think it's going to be a good build
<v Speaker 2>to Bad Blood and once again, what a time, What
<v Speaker 2>a time to be wrestling fans. Guys, we are blessed.
<v Speaker 2>So that just does it for this week's show. And
<v Speaker 2>once again, and as always, thank you for having me
