WWE SmackDown Review: Solo Sikoa’s return, Naomi vs. Bayley for a Shot at the WWE Women’s Championship Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes

<v Speaker 1>This is WWE Superstar Droom McIntyre and you're listening to
<v Speaker 1>the WWE podcast.
<v Speaker 2>Show, the one that everybody wants me So guy, well
<v Speaker 2>your ass this is my You're gonna acknowledge me.
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, Hello, whatever time it
<v Speaker 3>is with you wherever you are. Thank you for downloading
<v Speaker 3>this SmackDown review as part of the WWE podcast. It's
<v Speaker 3>an absolute pleasure to have you listening along once again. Now,
<v Speaker 3>I've got a new phone this week, and I have
<v Speaker 3>lost access to my at Amanda sd pod Twitter account,
<v Speaker 3>so I'm actually not going to ask you to follow
<v Speaker 3>me until I get that sorted. Probably take me a
<v Speaker 3>few weeks, but I shall try and get back to
<v Speaker 3>it as soon as I can. So have you guys
<v Speaker 3>seen the Vince series. I'm at the moment halfway through
<v Speaker 3>episode five, which I think is the penultimate one, and wow,
<v Speaker 3>the first episode where we hear about Vince's childhood and
<v Speaker 3>relationship with his father, it was like the penny dropped
<v Speaker 3>and thought, wow, that definitely explains a few things. The
<v Speaker 3>footage of the Attitude era, well, I think we have
<v Speaker 3>to be really cautious of judging things that went on
<v Speaker 3>then by today's standards. I think we have very different
<v Speaker 3>ways of looking back and judging things that have happened
<v Speaker 3>in the past. Some of the things they did I'd
<v Speaker 3>completely forgotten about. I'm looking forward to hopefully finishing off
<v Speaker 3>the series this weekend. But I can see why Vince
<v Speaker 3>was so desperate to buy it back from Netflix. It
<v Speaker 3>frames him as an absolute ass. The rest of the
<v Speaker 3>talent comes off pretty well Triple H, Stephanie, Shane, etc.
<v Speaker 3>And the part where they ask is mister McMahon the
<v Speaker 3>same as Vince McMahon. Vince is like, no way, and
<v Speaker 3>everyone else is like yeah, Basically he's the same guy.
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, really enjoying it. Very interesting, good to have
<v Speaker 3>a peek behind the curtain. And just to quickly touch
<v Speaker 3>on raw. So happy that Juso wins his first ever
<v Speaker 3>singles title. Loved that, absolutely brilliant and I have to
<v Speaker 3>say somewhat unexpected for sure. So let's dive into the
<v Speaker 3>review of this week's SmackDown, which aired on the twenty
<v Speaker 3>seventh of September from Oklahoma City. On tonight's show starts
<v Speaker 3>off with Randy. He comes out to a massive pop
<v Speaker 3>as always, and I notice theres a couple of kids
<v Speaker 3>in the front row wearing MIDI Cody outfits like the
<v Speaker 3>whole big expensive jacket thing that he wears that's very
<v Speaker 3>cute and obviously very committed. Must be the parents that
<v Speaker 3>are committed, because the kids show ourself to pay for
<v Speaker 3>them or make them or whatever. Randy says it's been
<v Speaker 3>a minute since he's been back to SmackDown, and he's
<v Speaker 3>had some business to handle on Raw, but he's really
<v Speaker 3>happy to be back down back in the SmackDown ring
<v Speaker 3>this evening. He says he's been in the business a
<v Speaker 3>long time and he can count the amount of people
<v Speaker 3>he trusts on one hand, and Cody is one of those.
<v Speaker 3>He says it's been very hard for him to see
<v Speaker 3>Cody team up with Roman, which is the match that's
<v Speaker 3>happening in a Bad Blood. He says, something doesn't add
<v Speaker 3>up and he needs an explanation. I'm like, oh my god, Randy,
<v Speaker 3>thank you me too. I need to know why this
<v Speaker 3>is happening. He calls out Cody and literally everything crossed.
<v Speaker 3>We finally get a decent explanation. Down comes Cody to
<v Speaker 3>his normal huge bob and he asks, Oklahoma, or more importantly, Randy,
<v Speaker 3>what they want to talk about. He says he knows
<v Speaker 3>Randy wants an explanation, and he deserves one more than
<v Speaker 3>most people. Cody says, perhaps he looks a bit of
<v Speaker 3>a fool, but he would rather be a fool than
<v Speaker 3>a coward, and he says he has Roman's word and
<v Speaker 3>Cody is trusting him. Cody says the WWE universe also
<v Speaker 3>seemed to be taking Roman at his word, and the
<v Speaker 3>crowd start off a massive otc chant. Cody says, the
<v Speaker 3>legend of the Rogue Bloodline, which seems to be what
<v Speaker 3>we're calling him this week, has grown so much it
<v Speaker 3>is time for it to be killed, and that Randy,
<v Speaker 3>as the legend killer, should understand that. They then shake
<v Speaker 3>hands in a ring and Randy tells Cody no problem
<v Speaker 3>in this. Cody makes it a problem, which I thought
<v Speaker 3>was an interesting little switch at the end. And now
<v Speaker 3>down to the ring comes Ko and just as he's
<v Speaker 3>about to speak, the new bloodline music kits, and now
<v Speaker 3>they come She's super annoying, dying to hear what Kao's
<v Speaker 3>opinion is on this, and I think that's the point
<v Speaker 3>we're obviously not supposed to so says he's happy. Three
<v Speaker 3>of them in the ring, and he asks Oklahoma to
<v Speaker 3>acknowledge him, and he gets his ars bowed off. Solo
<v Speaker 3>says that he should trust Roman as he is going
<v Speaker 3>to need him. He says, Kao and Randy will be
<v Speaker 3>no use as they have been useless in taking out
<v Speaker 3>the blood Line so far, which is harsh but fair actually,
<v Speaker 3>apart from if you look at where Cody took out
<v Speaker 3>Cody and all of his friends took out the blood
<v Speaker 3>Line at WrestleMania, although granted that was the old blood line.
<v Speaker 3>Kao interrupts and say's the only thing to acknowledge is
<v Speaker 3>that no one cares what Solo has to say. Ever,
<v Speaker 3>Kao wants to match tonight Ko and Randy versus Solo
<v Speaker 3>and Fatou, and we still don't know how Ko feels,
<v Speaker 3>but he did shut down Cody's attempt to make it
<v Speaker 3>everye on free match, so I think we're getting the breadcrumbs,
<v Speaker 3>so that's good. We now go to the women's division
<v Speaker 3>and we get a reminder of last week's tag team
<v Speaker 3>match to determine the number one contender to face Nya.
<v Speaker 3>The weird double cover finish that led us to the
<v Speaker 3>Bailey Versus Naomi match. Tonight, we go backstage to Nya,
<v Speaker 3>who was with Tiffany. She says she doesn't understand last
<v Speaker 3>week when they had the chance to get rid of
<v Speaker 3>Bailey or Naomi and that didn't happen, they're still here.
<v Speaker 3>She wants Tiffany to explain it to her and grabs
<v Speaker 3>her around the throat. She said, if it ends banned
<v Speaker 3>for me, it will end really really bad for you,
<v Speaker 3>as in for Tiffany. Nya leaves the room and Tiffany
<v Speaker 3>is looking very sorry for herself. Now I'm kind of
<v Speaker 3>hoping that this storyline runs its course soon. I really
<v Speaker 3>liked the Tiffany character before she got hooked up with Nya.
<v Speaker 3>She was very strong and athletic and pretty awesome, and
<v Speaker 3>she was actually pretty over if you remember. I think
<v Speaker 3>it was Helen a Cell in Australia where the fans
<v Speaker 3>were going absolutely bonkers for her. But I'm not a
<v Speaker 3>fan of the version she has become since Naya not
<v Speaker 3>enjoying the I guess you could say the Lackey version
<v Speaker 3>of Tiffy. So I hope this ends soon. We now
<v Speaker 3>go back to the ring and we have the match
<v Speaker 3>between Bailey and Naomi on Bailey's entrance, the big screen
<v Speaker 3>came up with the Damage Control logo and then Bailey's
<v Speaker 3>name over the top, which I hadn't noticed before, So
<v Speaker 3>I'm wondering if that's new or if I just hadn't
<v Speaker 3>seen that particular camera ankle before. As we come back
<v Speaker 3>from the break, we get told the match is official
<v Speaker 3>between Randy, Randy and Ko versus Jacob Vetter and Solo.
<v Speaker 3>We then get the last bit of Naomi's entrance and
<v Speaker 3>she joins Bailey in the ring and we kick off.
<v Speaker 3>Naomi goes for a couple of quick covers as the
<v Speaker 3>women tie up in the center of the ring. Bailey
<v Speaker 3>gets Naomi in the corner and pulls out of punching her.
<v Speaker 3>Then have a bit of a chat in the ring
<v Speaker 3>about the wrongs and the rights facing each other, presumably,
<v Speaker 3>and the match continues. Bailey, now fighting looks as normal,
<v Speaker 3>hits clothesline, looks for the cover and gets the two
<v Speaker 3>count sidebar. Is Naomi's ring gear this evening a tribute
<v Speaker 3>to the game, you know, or I just looking at
<v Speaker 3>things weirdly tonight that I would just see it and think,
<v Speaker 3>you know, and I can't imagine why that would be.
<v Speaker 3>Naomi has Bailey out of the ring and a wicked
<v Speaker 3>corksb we row roll over the top takes her out
<v Speaker 3>as we go for a break. As we come back
<v Speaker 3>from the break, they were in the ring and Bailey
<v Speaker 3>is now in charge. Cole tells us that Naomi has
<v Speaker 3>been in charge all over the break, and then Bailey
<v Speaker 3>takes a suicide dive to Naomi, but Naomi hits rearview
<v Speaker 3>and gets a close two count. They come together again
<v Speaker 3>in the middle of the ring, exchanging blows and Naomi
<v Speaker 3>lands a couple of kicks. She then goes off the
<v Speaker 3>top with a blockbuster and almost gets the three count.
<v Speaker 3>Bailey with a very weird, botchy looking sunset flip move
<v Speaker 3>into the corner, which did not look great, and Bailey
<v Speaker 3>then goes for Bailey to belly but it's blocked. She
<v Speaker 3>tries again and this time hits it. Going to the
<v Speaker 3>top and hits the flying elbow and goes for the
<v Speaker 3>cover and gets the three count for the win. So
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be Bailey versus Nya at Bad Blood,
<v Speaker 3>which should be a decent match. I didn't I didn't
<v Speaker 3>time this match, but it felt pretty quick. These two
<v Speaker 3>obviously have a ton of chemistry in the ring and
<v Speaker 3>work very well together. Bailey and Nia is probably the
<v Speaker 3>right call for Bad Blood, as Naomi still doesn't come
<v Speaker 3>on the same kind of support as Bailey. I think
<v Speaker 3>I probably, if pushed, expect Bailey to lose to Naya
<v Speaker 3>and maybe at last we get in there cash in
<v Speaker 3>from Tiffany and she frees herself from being Nias Lackey
<v Speaker 3>and those two can start to feud properly. We now
<v Speaker 3>get a replay of last week's match between La Night
<v Speaker 3>and Andrade, which was awesome, and when we come back live,
<v Speaker 3>we get Andrada starting to make his entrance to the ring,
<v Speaker 3>where he spots La Knight on the way and tells
<v Speaker 3>him that last week he lost his respect as he
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't shake his hand. Before Night can reply to him,
<v Speaker 3>Camello appears from nowhere and knocks Night for six, who
<v Speaker 3>disappears behind some production equipment, never to be seen again
<v Speaker 3>in this bit and next we have the sixth match
<v Speaker 3>between Andrade and Carmelo, with Andrade currently being three wins
<v Speaker 3>to two up. Both guys make their entrance. Maybe I
<v Speaker 3>have been watching properly over recent weeks, but also Andrade
<v Speaker 3>has a cool graphic on the big screen behind him
<v Speaker 3>as he comes out too. So obviously my Twitter is
<v Speaker 3>down so you can't let me know, but just the thought,
<v Speaker 3>it all seems quite new and I like it. The
<v Speaker 3>bell rings and Andrade starts strong, getting Camelo down in
<v Speaker 3>the corner. Camelo moves himself out of the way, but
<v Speaker 3>gets caught by a slam from Andrada on the ring
<v Speaker 3>edge that looks painful as we go for a break.
<v Speaker 3>As we come back, we are in the ring, Mellow
<v Speaker 3>has the upper hand going for a click cover, gets
<v Speaker 3>a two count and remains in control. Some really good
<v Speaker 3>back and forth ends in both taking each other out
<v Speaker 3>in the center of the ring, and so far up
<v Speaker 3>to this point, I don't think this match lived up
<v Speaker 3>to the previous awesome. Mellow hits the first forty eight
<v Speaker 3>from nowhere and goes for the cover, but only gets
<v Speaker 3>a two count. Andrado starts making his comeback and hits
<v Speaker 3>double knees in the corner, resulting in another two count.
<v Speaker 3>Camelo hits the moves off the ropes guys, I'm not
<v Speaker 3>sure what it was, but it looked a bit like
<v Speaker 3>a crossbody and goes for another two count. As we
<v Speaker 3>go for another break, and I was right. There is
<v Speaker 3>for sure more breaks in this version of SmackDown. As
<v Speaker 3>we come back, Kamela has Andrade on the top rope
<v Speaker 3>and both men blocking the moves with andrade head button.
<v Speaker 3>Mellow off the top Andrade hits a double moon salt
<v Speaker 3>and Mellow kicks out of the cover again in two Now,
<v Speaker 3>this match is really heating up again. This is much
<v Speaker 3>more like it. This is much more like what we've
<v Speaker 3>seen in the past. Camello hits a facebuster and misses
<v Speaker 3>the free count by playing up to the camera, true
<v Speaker 3>Comella style. He goes for the top rope, but and
<v Speaker 3>intercepts him looking for the home run from the top,
<v Speaker 3>but Kamela counter's mid air to make it a swinging
<v Speaker 3>neck breaker. This was absolutely phenomenal. I've never seen anything
<v Speaker 3>like it. That move was amazing. He goes for the
<v Speaker 3>cover but Andrei kicks out. Really that little set of
<v Speaker 3>moves was amazing. Camello back up to the top and
<v Speaker 3>ends up outside the ring as night Music hits, causing
<v Speaker 3>a distraction, and after distraction, Mellow nix a win, rolling
<v Speaker 3>up Anderader from behind, and we get some afters between
<v Speaker 3>Andreadi and Night Now Knight wants to shake hands and
<v Speaker 3>Ardi ignores him, leaves the ring, and that was that
<v Speaker 3>for the match. This one was a bit of a
<v Speaker 3>slow burner in my opinion, definitely took some time to
<v Speaker 3>reach the heights. We've had no other matches, but when
<v Speaker 3>we got there, Wow, some of the moves were turned
<v Speaker 3>out to be another excellent match. This feud made more
<v Speaker 3>interesting and given a bit of fresh life as well
<v Speaker 3>with the interjection of La Night now involved. So what's
<v Speaker 3>going to happen here? What do we think? We obviously
<v Speaker 3>can't leave it at Free Free They said that on
<v Speaker 3>commentary as well. So there has to be a decider, surely,
<v Speaker 3>And does the winner of that decider get a title
<v Speaker 3>shot at night? And does that mean that we think
<v Speaker 3>Carmelo will win this time? Who knows, but certainly I'm
<v Speaker 3>here for it. Brilliant stuff as always from these two.
<v Speaker 3>More exciting possibilities as their program surely continues, and we
<v Speaker 3>now get a reminder of the setup for tonight's main event,
<v Speaker 3>and then we go to the locker room where Ko
<v Speaker 3>and Randy are talking. Cody comes in says to Ko,
<v Speaker 3>we need to talk. I can feel something's wrong. Kao
<v Speaker 3>says yes, we do, but not now. Ko tells Cody
<v Speaker 3>not to come out tonight, but once Ko leaves, Randy
<v Speaker 3>asks for Cody's help if the Tongkans come out. This
<v Speaker 3>is setting up very nicely, and I thought at the
<v Speaker 3>time maybe this is the night for Ko's heel turn.
<v Speaker 3>We then get Meeching on her way to the ring
<v Speaker 3>where she will face Pipe and Niven ahead of next
<v Speaker 3>week's dumps. The match with Chelsea Meeching comes out to
<v Speaker 3>a decent reaction, which seems to be building week on week.
<v Speaker 3>Piper comes out with Chelsea and Toe, who has a
<v Speaker 3>rubbish bin with her, obviously, because we need to be
<v Speaker 3>constantly reminded as a dumpster match next week. As we
<v Speaker 3>kick off, meach and start strong. Piper fights back using
<v Speaker 3>impressive strength, but Meeching with some equally impressive athletic moves.
<v Speaker 3>Chelsea causes a distraction and Meeching gets hit with a
<v Speaker 3>cannonball from Piper off the apron, which in slow mo
<v Speaker 3>as we went to another break, looked even more awesome.
<v Speaker 3>As we come back from the break, Piper is still
<v Speaker 3>in charge with another cannonball, this time into the corner
<v Speaker 3>and a close two count Meeching hits a big elbow,
<v Speaker 3>starts getting in some good offense, hitting a crucifix bomb
<v Speaker 3>and gets a two count. Niven hits a sidewalk slam
<v Speaker 3>and gets another two count on Meachim. Piper hits a
<v Speaker 3>driver and Meeching kicks again going up to the top rope,
<v Speaker 3>but Piper takes her out with a massive punch. Chelsea's
<v Speaker 3>up and causing a distraction, and while Piper and Meeting
<v Speaker 3>are outside the ring, Piper miss times a cannonball going
<v Speaker 3>right into the rubbish bin. Meeching takes her into the
<v Speaker 3>ring and takes her out with eat the feet as
<v Speaker 3>Piper is coming through the ropes and Meeching gets the
<v Speaker 3>cover and the win. This was a good match, I thought,
<v Speaker 3>from my point of view, good to see two moins
<v Speaker 3>matches on the hard. I like what wwe have done
<v Speaker 3>with Meachin since her come back or her reinvention from
<v Speaker 3>the OC or whatever we're calling it. I like the
<v Speaker 3>partnership between Chelsea and Piper Niven, and I'm looking forward
<v Speaker 3>to the dumpster match next week. I think, if you
<v Speaker 3>remember when we got the draft this year and we
<v Speaker 3>ended up with Chelsea and Tiffany on the same brand.
<v Speaker 3>I remember saying I think to Matt on one of
<v Speaker 3>the shows I did with him that I really hope
<v Speaker 3>that those two don't cancel each other out. With their
<v Speaker 3>characters being similar, not the same, but certainly similar. I
<v Speaker 3>think it's a bit weird that they've both been teamed
<v Speaker 3>up with. I guess, like you big strong women. So
<v Speaker 3>you've got Chelsea and Piper, you've got Tiffany and Nya,
<v Speaker 3>and I think it's an interesting example of Chelsea and
<v Speaker 3>Piper is working. They've both got very different elements of
<v Speaker 3>personality and that's kind of how to make that partnership work.
<v Speaker 3>And then on the other side, for me, you've got
<v Speaker 3>Tiffany and Naya, which is an example of those kind
<v Speaker 3>of partnerships not working and not really allowing Tiffany to
<v Speaker 3>have her own time and her own moment in the sun,
<v Speaker 3>whereas you feel that Chelsea and Piper are quite equal
<v Speaker 3>in their partnership. Just my opinion. We then get a
<v Speaker 3>look at next week's card for SmackDown, and we get
<v Speaker 3>a reminder that next week is to go home show
<v Speaker 3>for Bad Blood, so we have the Chelsea meet in
<v Speaker 3>Dumpster Match. We've got the return of aj styles which
<v Speaker 3>will be interesting as always with AJ, which AJ is
<v Speaker 3>coming back heal or face all the past sins forgotten
<v Speaker 3>or continuing if you remember we had that I quip
<v Speaker 3>match with Cody, So yeah, what is going to happen?
<v Speaker 3>Which AJ are we getting? That will be fun? And
<v Speaker 3>then the next thing, which I hadn't heard because obviously
<v Speaker 3>I'm off Twitter at the moment, so I don't know
<v Speaker 3>if this was teased if you guys already knew this
<v Speaker 3>was coming, but WWE Tagchuain Championship, Triple Threat Ladder Match.
<v Speaker 3>Try to say that about full of wine gums. Oh,
<v Speaker 3>that is going to be awesome. I've got to try
<v Speaker 3>and find a way to watch them down next week.
<v Speaker 3>Somehow we get a vignette for the triple Threat match
<v Speaker 3>with all three teams. Great package as always from ww
<v Speaker 3>You can always rely on them to give us a
<v Speaker 3>great video package to get these things built, and as always,
<v Speaker 3>they did a great job of building the excitement. Before
<v Speaker 3>we get the main event, we get a pre record
<v Speaker 3>video from the anchor and Jade Yawn wearing ball gowns
<v Speaker 3>for some reason, and then I think I forgured out
<v Speaker 3>what reason it was that their point of it was
<v Speaker 3>to let us know they are going to be hosting
<v Speaker 3>Bad Blood next week, so let's hope that wwe take
<v Speaker 3>the opportune unity to give us a bit more with
<v Speaker 3>these two, as their stuff is just so meh. I
<v Speaker 3>think they've either got us spice it up considerably or
<v Speaker 3>break them up and get it over with and let
<v Speaker 3>Bian could go back to being a fantastic singles talent,
<v Speaker 3>which she is, and let's just see what Jade can
<v Speaker 3>do on her own because so bored of these two
<v Speaker 3>and what they've done to their characters. We then go
<v Speaker 3>to Naomi walking backstage with their face tripping her, and
<v Speaker 3>Bailey approaches and apologizes. Naomi says, you're not sorry. I
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't be a fid one. You need to go to
<v Speaker 3>Bad Blood and win the championship and then we can
<v Speaker 3>play this back again. They hug it out and then
<v Speaker 3>Tiffany comes along to rub some salt into the wound,
<v Speaker 3>and Naomi says that if Nya is busy with Bailey,
<v Speaker 3>that she wants to have a go at Tiffany next
<v Speaker 3>week and goes off to speak to Nick Oldos or
<v Speaker 3>Oblivini as we know him to make it happen. We
<v Speaker 3>did not see Nicole d Us this week, so I'm
<v Speaker 3>wondering maybe he wasn't there. He was mentioned a couple
<v Speaker 3>of times. We don't go back to the ring for
<v Speaker 3>the tag team match, which is Ko and Randy versus
<v Speaker 3>Solo and Jacob Fattu. We start off with Ko and
<v Speaker 3>Fatu in the ring, trading blows as Ko takes him
<v Speaker 3>down and hits the sent on and then pulls the
<v Speaker 3>d x sucket move, which maybe he watched the documentary
<v Speaker 3>this week as well and he's just reminded of that time.
<v Speaker 3>Fatoo tags is Solo, who continues to trade hands with Ko,
<v Speaker 3>but Solo then throws him over to the corner. For
<v Speaker 3>the tag Randy comes in and Solo tags out, so
<v Speaker 3>we don't see them together yet. Randy's on the attack
<v Speaker 3>at first, but Fato Fatu Sorry soon overpowers him and
<v Speaker 3>sends Randy over the top rope. Randy drops Fatou on
<v Speaker 3>the announced table, but Fato completely no sells it and
<v Speaker 3>obviously doesn't feel a thing, which means Randy then drops
<v Speaker 3>him another three more times on the announced table. Finally
<v Speaker 3>he rolls off looks like he actually did feel it,
<v Speaker 3>and then Solo comes along and Randy Randy also puts
<v Speaker 3>him through the announced table as we go for the break,
<v Speaker 3>and Randy live in his absolute best life just putting
<v Speaker 3>people through the table. As we come back from the break,
<v Speaker 3>we have Ko in the ring with Solo and Ko
<v Speaker 3>from the top rope looking for the swanton, but Solo
<v Speaker 3>gets knees up. Solo then crushes Ko in the corner
<v Speaker 3>makes a tag to Fattou. Ko again smashed in the
<v Speaker 3>corner by first of all Solo and then Fatou and
<v Speaker 3>Ko getting well and truly battered now by Fatu, Solo
<v Speaker 3>makes a tag, continuing to beat down Ko, who looks
<v Speaker 3>to be in big trouble. Kaya finally manages to make
<v Speaker 3>a bit of a comeback and hit an atomic drop
<v Speaker 3>followed by a clothes line to try and make the
<v Speaker 3>tag to Randy. Finally, Ko makes the tag after some
<v Speaker 3>funny kind of pulling a rope kind of weird stuff
<v Speaker 3>between him and Solo. Randy is in and landing punches
<v Speaker 3>on Solo, following up with a clothesline and a power slam.
<v Speaker 3>Fatu in to try and help, but eats the power
<v Speaker 3>slam as well. Randy hits the draping DDT, setting up
<v Speaker 3>for the RKO, but Fatu with the distraction on the apron,
<v Speaker 3>allowing Solo to hit the simo and drop on Randy.
<v Speaker 3>Randy sins Solo over the top as Ko starts to
<v Speaker 3>recover and wants to tag, which he gets and takes
<v Speaker 3>out Solo and Fatou on the outside, double sent onto
<v Speaker 3>both and a frog splash to Fato Fatu off the
<v Speaker 3>apron all on the outside, which was good stuff. Ko
<v Speaker 3>hits the swan tom successfully this time and gets a
<v Speaker 3>two count on solo and then right on cue, here
<v Speaker 3>come the Tonguans. Solo hits spinning solo on Ko, who
<v Speaker 3>kicks out. At that point, Cody's music hits and he
<v Speaker 3>comes out to take care of the Tongans. Randy hits
<v Speaker 3>an r KO on tamatonga and back in the ring,
<v Speaker 3>Ko with a stunner on solo. He actually gets a
<v Speaker 3>three count, but the ref is knocked out of the
<v Speaker 3>way by Fatu rolling Cody into the ring, meaning that
<v Speaker 3>the ref completely missed it. Solo then gets a sneaky
<v Speaker 3>cover and the wind for the bloodline. But the headline
<v Speaker 3>here is that Ko had Solo beat but was sorted
<v Speaker 3>all be it accidentally by Cody being at side despite
<v Speaker 3>being told not to be there by Ko. As the
<v Speaker 3>match ends, Cody apologizes to Ko that Ko is clearly
<v Speaker 3>furious and isn't having his apology at all. Randy breaks
<v Speaker 3>things up between them, and as we go off of
<v Speaker 3>the air, we have Randy as a peacemaker and solo
<v Speaker 3>saying to the camera just look at them. A good
<v Speaker 3>angle and a fun way to draw out possible Ko
<v Speaker 3>heel turn. No Roman this week, but I expect he
<v Speaker 3>willppear on next week's show. We still didn't hear Ko speak,
<v Speaker 3>but I think we are getting an idea of how
<v Speaker 3>he feels via his actions. Another good show all in
<v Speaker 3>all this week, and having been quite a reminiscent week
<v Speaker 3>as a WWE fan with the Vince series, I have
<v Speaker 3>to say I think we're in a golden age of
<v Speaker 3>wrestling right now. Then you see the evolution of where
<v Speaker 3>we were and where we are now, think about where
<v Speaker 3>we're going in the future, at least I think in
<v Speaker 3>the Triple H era. Hopefully we're in safe fans. But yeah,
<v Speaker 3>a good show, great great build to Bad Blood. Really
<v Speaker 3>looking forward to hopefully being able to watch that. So
<v Speaker 3>that just about does it for this week's show. Once again,
<v Speaker 3>and as always, thank you having me in your ears.
<v Speaker 3>As you know, I am away now for the next
<v Speaker 3>three weeks, but I know you'll be in very safe
<v Speaker 3>fans till I get back. I hope you all have
<v Speaker 3>a good few weeks and remember, until next time, be kind.
