WWE SmackDown Review: Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga vs The Street Profits for Tag Titles, LA Knight vs Santos Escobar for US Title

<v Speaker 1>This is WWE superstar Droom McIntyre and you're listening to
<v Speaker 1>the WWE podcast show.
<v Speaker 2>The one that everybody wants me so light. Welcome you,
<v Speaker 2>as this is my We're gonna acknowledge me.
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Hello, whatever time it
<v Speaker 3>is with you and wherever you are. Thank you for
<v Speaker 3>downloading this SmackDown review as part of the WWE podcast
<v Speaker 3>and it's my absolute pleasure to have you listening along
<v Speaker 3>once again. This is my ninth show, week nine, and
<v Speaker 3>thank you so much to everyone who continues to download
<v Speaker 3>and listen to the review. For anyone who hasn't done
<v Speaker 3>so yet, please come follow me on Twitter. I am
<v Speaker 3>at Amanda sd pod. That's at Amanda sd pod. So, guys,
<v Speaker 3>seems to be officially at an end here in the UK.
<v Speaker 3>We are currently being battered by storm Lily, so apologies
<v Speaker 3>if you can hear what sounds like a shower in
<v Speaker 3>the background. Once again, we are summertime in England. Before
<v Speaker 3>you know it, shops will be full of Christmas stuff
<v Speaker 3>for anyone interested. We had a predictable start to the
<v Speaker 3>Premier League this past week, and I think the least
<v Speaker 3>said about it, the better. Certainly for me as a
<v Speaker 3>Spurs fan. So the week itself Raw was pretty good
<v Speaker 3>again this week, I think I thought the Shamus versus
<v Speaker 3>Pete Dumb match was awesome, an absolute banger coin of phrase.
<v Speaker 3>I love the way that the Wyat six interrupted the
<v Speaker 3>IV versus Maxine match. Good see Nikki Cross get some action.
<v Speaker 3>I really like how the comms team over on Raw
<v Speaker 3>were framing it, saying instead of saying, Oh, it's a
<v Speaker 3>spooky witch, they were actually saying, all that's Nicky Cross.
<v Speaker 3>She thinks she's a spooky witch or something, which is
<v Speaker 3>much more believable, if believable is the right word in
<v Speaker 3>the context of wrestling. But you guys know what I mean.
<v Speaker 3>I think we you know, there's so much of the
<v Speaker 3>Hokus Pokers stuff that we can put up with, so
<v Speaker 3>that's a nice angle on it. And then the CM
<v Speaker 3>punk segment ending with the news of the Strap match
<v Speaker 3>was also pretty cool. As you know, I'm a huge
<v Speaker 3>mark for CM Punk, absolutely love him, really looking forward
<v Speaker 3>to that match between him and Drew in Berlin. The
<v Speaker 3>Woman's Tag Champs album Fire and Ela Dawn retained, and
<v Speaker 3>then we saw the Judgment Day and the Terror Twins
<v Speaker 3>segment which was also brilliant. It was a strong show.
<v Speaker 3>Really enjoying Raw at the moment as well. And did
<v Speaker 3>you guys see the interview this week with Paul Hayman
<v Speaker 3>looked like he was at a con or something. Maybe
<v Speaker 3>it was the fan fanatics thing that they kept pushing
<v Speaker 3>on SmackDown and Raw, but the interview was pretty good.
<v Speaker 3>He was being asked about Bloodline Roman situation, and pretty
<v Speaker 3>much he was saying that there are a bunch more
<v Speaker 3>people in the family that both Solo and Roman could
<v Speaker 3>have in their back pocket to bring in rather than
<v Speaker 3>just the faces that we know currently. So that's pretty exciting.
<v Speaker 3>So it looks like the Bloodline story is just going
<v Speaker 3>to run and run and run and run with more
<v Speaker 3>people added, many more angles, which is great. I'm there
<v Speaker 3>for that, So I think that's really exciting. And in
<v Speaker 3>other news, before we start the review, the puppy That's
<v Speaker 3>Not Mine has now gone home, so at least we
<v Speaker 3>don't have that distraction this week. So without further ado,
<v Speaker 3>let's get to the reason that you're all here, and
<v Speaker 3>that is to review the SmackDown that aired on August
<v Speaker 3>twenty third from Washington, d C. Please to report that obviously,
<v Speaker 3>you know, as we would like to have a little
<v Speaker 3>weekly update on my American geographical knowledge. Obviously, I know Washington.
<v Speaker 3>I've watched a bunch of TV programs, you know, dramas
<v Speaker 3>and stuff all centered around Washington. Haven't been there, definitely
<v Speaker 3>on my list of places that I want to go.
<v Speaker 3>So we start again this week in a similar way
<v Speaker 3>to how we did last week, actually with a recap
<v Speaker 3>of the clash between Solo and Roman from last week's show.
<v Speaker 3>We were shown again initially Roman putting up a good
<v Speaker 3>fight but ultimately getting overwhelmed by the new bloodline. And
<v Speaker 3>again we see Roman getting put through the announced table,
<v Speaker 3>which is always pretty shocking to see. I don't know
<v Speaker 3>when we last saw Roman being so overwhelmed by opponents,
<v Speaker 3>And I guess that's the point here of breaking new
<v Speaker 3>ground with this new ferocious blood line. So as we
<v Speaker 3>go to the live shots, we see Solo arrive and
<v Speaker 3>he has the whole of the new blood line with him,
<v Speaker 3>which doesn't bode well. And they do look really kick us.
<v Speaker 3>They've got a really good look and they're very menacing
<v Speaker 3>and mean looking. We get a reminder that tonight the
<v Speaker 3>bloodline have to defend their tag titles against the street profits.
<v Speaker 3>We then go to the ring. We get the big
<v Speaker 3>intro for Grayson Waller and Austin's theory. They're already in
<v Speaker 3>the ring and it's all set up for the Waller effect.
<v Speaker 3>Crowd are really booing, and I'm also booing internally. I'm
<v Speaker 3>not a fan of these talk show style segments and
<v Speaker 3>they usually end up in the lame way to start
<v Speaker 3>the next viewd or continue one. But obviously that might
<v Speaker 3>just be me. But they're not really my cup of tea. Waller,
<v Speaker 3>straight off the bat says his guest tonight likes to
<v Speaker 3>make things about himself and brings out cod who gets
<v Speaker 3>a great reaction. Even Corey mentions the size of the
<v Speaker 3>popa for Cody. Waller interrupts Cody's usual entrance and says
<v Speaker 3>enough is enough and this is an interview, and he
<v Speaker 3>even interrupts the well what do you want to talk about?
<v Speaker 3>Bit Wallo? What wallow?
<v Speaker 2>No.
<v Speaker 3>Waller says that even on his show, it's all about Cody.
<v Speaker 3>He says he knows how selfish Cody is and how
<v Speaker 3>many times have his friends Randy and co been beat
<v Speaker 3>up because of him. He knows how much he loves
<v Speaker 3>his WWE title, and Cody says, let's talk about Ko,
<v Speaker 3>who he acknowledges is his opponent at Bashion Berlin. He
<v Speaker 3>says if he put a list of superstars up, Ko
<v Speaker 3>would be capable or may actually have already beaten them all.
<v Speaker 3>He says that Ko has been fighting the Bloodline from
<v Speaker 3>since before Cody even came back to WWE, and that
<v Speaker 3>he hasn't stopped fighting them. Cody says he acknowledges that
<v Speaker 3>he wouldn't be champion if it wasn't for Ko, but
<v Speaker 3>he has never used Ko. He turns it on Waller
<v Speaker 3>and asks him if he can say the same thing
<v Speaker 3>he accuses Waller of using theory. Cody asks if theory
<v Speaker 3>is ever going to do something about it being used
<v Speaker 3>by Waller. We then get Waller showing a compilation of
<v Speaker 3>Ko turning on people. This included Sammy Zain, John Cena, Christ, Jericho, Kophi, Kingston,
<v Speaker 3>Sammy again. And to be fair, that evidence is overwhelming,
<v Speaker 3>and we all know Ko's history and what kind of
<v Speaker 3>guy he is, but when you see it all put together,
<v Speaker 3>it definitely makes Kao look like a wrong and q
<v Speaker 3>Ko's music and out he comes. He says, Cody can
<v Speaker 3>see from the video that pretty much all of those
<v Speaker 3>guys had it coming, with the exception of Kofy, who
<v Speaker 3>he apologizes to. He says the relationship he has with
<v Speaker 3>Cody is different. They've always been close, so that's not
<v Speaker 3>going to happen. And he then says that everyone knows
<v Speaker 3>how this part is going to go. He's going to
<v Speaker 3>get him into the ring with Cody, beat up Waller
<v Speaker 3>and Theory. Someone will make a tag match for later
<v Speaker 3>in the show, so let's just skip to it. He
<v Speaker 3>brings out Nick Eldos or Oblivia and the Gladiator as
<v Speaker 3>we like to know him and ask him to make
<v Speaker 3>to the match, and the crowd are definitely out for it.
<v Speaker 3>Nick makes the match and Kao says he doesn't want
<v Speaker 3>to miss out on kicking their ass quickly, so has
<v Speaker 3>he got time to jump in the ring and beat
<v Speaker 3>up Waller and Theory as well now? And Nick order
<v Speaker 3>says yes, as long as you make it quick, so
<v Speaker 3>that happens. Segment ends with Kaya and Cody in the ring.
<v Speaker 3>Kao are accidentally hitting Cody and Waller and Theory backing off.
<v Speaker 3>I actually liked this segment, you know, go back on
<v Speaker 3>my words Sham earlier. I like this segment, and although
<v Speaker 3>it kind of followed the usual formula for the talk
<v Speaker 3>show segment bits, it was different and the fact that
<v Speaker 3>Ko called out what we were expecting and had already
<v Speaker 3>spoken to Nick to make the match was a great touch,
<v Speaker 3>so I really liked it. It was kind of like
<v Speaker 3>they know what we're all thinking and then they just
<v Speaker 3>turned it round, So I liked it. It was a good
<v Speaker 3>start to the show tonight, good fun. We then see
<v Speaker 3>La Knight, who is up next defending his US title
<v Speaker 3>against Escobar. As we come back from the break, La
<v Speaker 3>Knight makes his entrance to a massive pop. As always,
<v Speaker 3>he is still so over and Corey tells us that
<v Speaker 3>this is Knight's first title defense, which I hadn't actually
<v Speaker 3>realized it was his first, I guess because we see
<v Speaker 3>him a lot on the TV. So outcomes Escabar with
<v Speaker 3>the whole Legarda del fantasma to a very muted reaction,
<v Speaker 3>not even booge really just sounded a bit meth so
<v Speaker 3>they're obviously not really that over. We just start off
<v Speaker 3>with the introductions, but before they can get finished from behind,
<v Speaker 3>we get Berto and Angel Gaza pulling Night from the
<v Speaker 3>ring and they start to beat him down. They eventually
<v Speaker 3>throw him into the ring and the ref chucks them
<v Speaker 3>both straight out of the ringside area, which is great.
<v Speaker 3>Electro Lopezan jumps into the ring and starts chopsing off
<v Speaker 3>to the ref, who promptly chucks her out too. That's great.
<v Speaker 3>At least it's a fair fight now, which evens yields
<v Speaker 3>quite nicely. LA Knight looks like he's okay to start
<v Speaker 3>the match, if not quite beat up. The bell rings
<v Speaker 3>and Escobara immediately rushes him in the corner. Knight manages
<v Speaker 3>to duck out of the way and go for a
<v Speaker 3>quick cover, almost nicking a win. I actually thought that
<v Speaker 3>that was how that was going to end, but didn't.
<v Speaker 3>We get a big knee from Escovar Escavar sorry, followed
<v Speaker 3>by a weird move I'm not familiar with. I'm not
<v Speaker 3>sure if it was a proper move or whether it
<v Speaker 3>was a bit of a botch, but it forces a
<v Speaker 3>two count. We go for a break. As we come
<v Speaker 3>back from the break, Night has got the upper hand,
<v Speaker 3>which we all know annoys me massively and wwe have
<v Speaker 3>started doing it again now all time so that's annoying,
<v Speaker 3>but Night's got the upper hand. We don't know how
<v Speaker 3>that happened, and it is battering Escobar into the commentary desk.
<v Speaker 3>Night starts to clear the desk, stopping a scabarf and
<v Speaker 3>getting back in the ring. Escobar drops Night and goes
<v Speaker 3>to the barricade with double needs onto the announced desk.
<v Speaker 3>Escovar still pushing his CEA thing, but the crowd letting
<v Speaker 3>him know that he sucks. Instead of getting on board
<v Speaker 3>with that, he gets Night back into the ring and
<v Speaker 3>hits a splash from the top rope into a cover
<v Speaker 3>for two. Escobar is still in charge, but Night catches
<v Speaker 3>in with an elbow followed by a huge clothesline and
<v Speaker 3>it looks like Night might be turning things around. Another
<v Speaker 3>clothesline and a neckbreaker to Escobar, and then Night hits
<v Speaker 3>the side effect on Escobar and into a cover a
<v Speaker 3>very close cover for two. Escobar looks for the phantom
<v Speaker 3>driver but gets a super kick instead. Both men up
<v Speaker 3>onto the top rope. Night once again gets the upper
<v Speaker 3>hand and drops a massive elbow from the top followed
<v Speaker 3>by a BFT and straight into the cover for the recount,
<v Speaker 3>and Night retains. So this was a good match between
<v Speaker 3>these two. The beginning was nicely worked and a great
<v Speaker 3>way to introduce some Jeopardy, with Night getting a pre
<v Speaker 3>bell beat down and then the whole of Legado del
<v Speaker 3>Fantasma being sent to the back before we started, meant
<v Speaker 3>that although we probably thought we knew there was no
<v Speaker 3>way of Night losing his title, here, we had those
<v Speaker 3>moments of just believing that he might do, which I
<v Speaker 3>think is probably what we will want. Corey then tells
<v Speaker 3>us that there will be a line of superstars waiting
<v Speaker 3>to get a shot at the US title, two of
<v Speaker 3>them being Andrade and come in a Hayes and we
<v Speaker 3>get a reminder of their brilliant match last week. We
<v Speaker 3>then get a pre recorded promo from Hayes, which doesn't
<v Speaker 3>seem to be in a barber shop this time, but
<v Speaker 3>I do see a lot of hair product in the background.
<v Speaker 3>He asks Andrade why he is angry. Is it because
<v Speaker 3>he lost? Well? Duh, He says. The truth is you
<v Speaker 3>are only as good as your last match, and in
<v Speaker 3>the last match he wasn't as good as him. Then
<v Speaker 3>he says Andrade should be thanking him. I can't think
<v Speaker 3>for a second that he will be, But because he
<v Speaker 3>is currently two to one and that's the only thing
<v Speaker 3>keeping the lights in his career. Andrado then comes in
<v Speaker 3>and as the camera hands out, we see that he
<v Speaker 3>actually is in a barbershop. I'm going to need someone
<v Speaker 3>with their finger more on the pulse than me to
<v Speaker 3>sit me down and explain what the deal is here
<v Speaker 3>with barbershops. I don't know if this is just his gimmick.
<v Speaker 3>I don't get it. So if anyone wants to reach
<v Speaker 3>out on Twitter at Amanda st Pod to school meet
<v Speaker 3>on this, I don't get it and I can't get
<v Speaker 3>past it anyway. Andrali comes in and says what has
<v Speaker 3>did after the match was disrespectful and they will fight
<v Speaker 3>again next week. I suspect we will see Hayes with
<v Speaker 3>the win again, leaving a decider for maybe Bash in
<v Speaker 3>Berlin or maybe SmackDown after Either way, these two have
<v Speaker 3>been having great matches. Bring it on. I say, let them,
<v Speaker 3>let them fight forever. They're they're they're doing really good.
<v Speaker 3>We then have a six woman tag match. We have
<v Speaker 3>Albert fire, Isila Dorn and Blair Davenport versus Naomi, Brian
<v Speaker 3>Cavalaire and j Car Gill. Before the match, starts, so
<v Speaker 3>we go backstage and we see Electro Lopez, Berto and
<v Speaker 3>Angel having a barney backstage about what's just happened Escobar
<v Speaker 3>and La Night. Escobar comes along and is furious, telling
<v Speaker 3>Angel that nothing. He says, we'll make up for what
<v Speaker 3>just happens, and then we get Apollo and Baron Corbyn
<v Speaker 3>putting in an appearance mocking their loss. Escobar says he
<v Speaker 3>won't tolerate the disrespect and is off to Scenic orders
<v Speaker 3>to sort out a match for next week. So we
<v Speaker 3>shall see whether that turns out to be one on
<v Speaker 3>one or whether it turns out to be a tag
<v Speaker 3>team match. But either way, we've got that to look
<v Speaker 3>forward to in inverted commas. Let's see what that turns
<v Speaker 3>out like. The team. Then we go down to the
<v Speaker 3>ring and we get the team of Albert, Island and
<v Speaker 3>Blair already in the ring, and we get the entrances
<v Speaker 3>of Jade, Naomi and Bianca. They'll each have their separate
<v Speaker 3>them songs that they come into and once again good
<v Speaker 3>pops for the Faces. As they make their way to
<v Speaker 3>the ring, Corey tells us that Bashion, Berlin, Jade, and
<v Speaker 3>Bianca will face Albert and Isler for the tag team titles.
<v Speaker 3>That's good. Jade and Bianca both look to be in
<v Speaker 3>USA outfits, so I guess they are pushing the angle
<v Speaker 3>that Jade and Bianca are team USA and Islan and
<v Speaker 3>Albert Scottish, so maybe they're looking for some home support.
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure how that will play out in Berlin though,
<v Speaker 3>as that's neither USA or Scotland, but I guess I
<v Speaker 3>see why they were They've done that. Later on in
<v Speaker 3>the match. They also noticed that name's outfit had USA
<v Speaker 3>on it as well, so maybe it was like a
<v Speaker 3>tribute to the Olympic team or something. I don't know. Anyway,
<v Speaker 3>quite irrelevant, so Isler, Doorn and Bianca kick things off,
<v Speaker 3>with Dawn getting the early offence him, but Bianca quickly
<v Speaker 3>turns things around with the Moon sort off the ropes.
<v Speaker 3>Belair is in charge. She takes it to the outside
<v Speaker 3>with a dive over the top, flattening isle of Dawn
<v Speaker 3>as we go to the break. As we come back,
<v Speaker 3>we have Bianca still in charge, but with Davenporte now.
<v Speaker 1>Blair.
<v Speaker 3>Davenporte gets the upper hand, holding Bianca's hair in order
<v Speaker 3>for her to make the tag to Eiler and Bianca
<v Speaker 3>gets subjected to some quick tags by the three Heels
<v Speaker 3>and he's getting completely overwhelmed. In the corner, Davenporte, now legal,
<v Speaker 3>hits a stomp and goes for a cover for two.
<v Speaker 3>He'll staying firmly in charge here. We still didn't see
<v Speaker 3>Jade or Naomi in the match yet. All Fire and
<v Speaker 3>Dawn with some real double team in on Bianca, but
<v Speaker 3>Bianca manages to eventually fight out of the submission hold,
<v Speaker 3>but fails to make a tag and is still in Finally,
<v Speaker 3>bel Air makes the tag and we get to see
<v Speaker 3>Jade in the ring, who goes to work clear, clearing
<v Speaker 3>out and demonstrating some nice looking moves. She gets the
<v Speaker 3>tag to Naomi, who goes off the top and it's
<v Speaker 3>now her turn to get some serious beat down on
<v Speaker 3>the Heel team. She goes for the cover, but it's
<v Speaker 3>broken up. Fire Dawn beaten down on Jade on the outside.
<v Speaker 3>Bianca from the top takes them all out and back
<v Speaker 3>in the ring, Blair goes for a quick cover on Naomi,
<v Speaker 3>gets the two, but Naomi kicks out. Naomi gets a
<v Speaker 3>springboard moon Salt and gets to cover on Blair for
<v Speaker 3>the win. A nice match. They're doing a good job
<v Speaker 3>of building up the tag team Champs along with their
<v Speaker 3>efforts on Raw. This week, they're starting to be made
<v Speaker 3>to look strong but also smart, so in advance of
<v Speaker 3>their title defense in Berlin next week. It's no surprise
<v Speaker 3>that Naomi took the pin from Blair, so no one
<v Speaker 3>who is involved in the title match looks either strong
<v Speaker 3>or weak, and this is shaping up nicely for Bash Personally.
<v Speaker 3>I hope that they leave their titles on the champs,
<v Speaker 3>maybe start the split between Jade and Bianca. Maybe it's
<v Speaker 3>too soon for that, but I'm surprisingly finding this program
<v Speaker 3>very enjoy and particularly what they're doing with Eila, Dawn
<v Speaker 3>and Alba Fire. So yeah, that's a good strong women's
<v Speaker 3>tag team division at the moment. Up next, we have
<v Speaker 3>Solo addressing Roman, reigns and the future. At this point,
<v Speaker 3>I don't think Roman is here, or at least we
<v Speaker 3>didn't get told yet that he is here. We now
<v Speaker 3>have the next match, which is the tag team title
<v Speaker 3>match Bloodline versus Street Profits. Jacob Battou is still in
<v Speaker 3>his boot, surely not defending wearing that. Solo asked Washington
<v Speaker 3>DC to acknowledge him, and as always they decline. He
<v Speaker 3>says he has a lot to talk about tonight and
<v Speaker 3>they should try and keep it down. I thought this
<v Speaker 3>was weird. He addressed this a bit like a meeting agenda,
<v Speaker 3>So number one on the agenda, number two on the agenda,
<v Speaker 3>number three on the agenda. I thought that was a
<v Speaker 3>bit weird. I'm sure they did it for a reason,
<v Speaker 3>but a bit weird anyway. So he says they should
<v Speaker 3>try and keep it down. He's got a lot to
<v Speaker 3>talk about. He says the original tribal she is done,
<v Speaker 3>and the crowd start chanting OTC. He says it doesn't
<v Speaker 3>matter who has the title. However, Cody or Ko wins
<v Speaker 3>he's next, and he's going to bring it back to
<v Speaker 3>the family and back to him. He then says there's
<v Speaker 3>something wrong with the tag titles and asks Jacob Fattou
<v Speaker 3>to step up. He goes to take the title from him,
<v Speaker 3>but then instructs him to give it straight to Tonga Lower.
<v Speaker 3>So I guess that answers a question not defending in
<v Speaker 3>the boot. Jacob Fattou hugs him and does the whole
<v Speaker 3>deranged I love you solo, I acknowledge you solo thing,
<v Speaker 3>which is a little over the top in my opinion,
<v Speaker 3>but I guess fits his character. And the point of
<v Speaker 3>that was that Jacob Fattu gets a promotion to a
<v Speaker 3>position that I thought you already had the enforcer or
<v Speaker 3>the bodyguard of Solo, but apparently not. So everyone in
<v Speaker 3>the Bloodline is really happy about that. The street profits
<v Speaker 3>music hits and they come out with beefab on the
<v Speaker 3>mic saying they don't care who the bodyguard is or
<v Speaker 3>who the tag team is. They have business tonight and
<v Speaker 3>that Solo can get back to his family matters. Later,
<v Speaker 3>Montez starts mocking the Bloodline, saying is this version eight
<v Speaker 3>seven O three one two or whatever he said, which
<v Speaker 3>is actually pretty funny. We go to a break and
<v Speaker 3>as we come back before we go to the match,
<v Speaker 3>we have la Night with Byron. Backstage, Knight says he's
<v Speaker 3>now home. Says something which I don't completely understand about
<v Speaker 3>the coast and spending time here, but I think basically
<v Speaker 3>says he feels like it's home now. He's successfully defended
<v Speaker 3>his title. He's going to go to Berlin to defend
<v Speaker 3>against anyone. He basically offers up an open challenge. So, guys,
<v Speaker 3>who do we think and are they Kamena Hayes Is
<v Speaker 3>Escobar surely not. Maybe someone from left field, maybe Logan,
<v Speaker 3>maybe someone that we haven't even thought of. I don't
<v Speaker 3>know what the situation with brock is would go for
<v Speaker 3>the US title. I don't know, but that's massive curveball,
<v Speaker 3>very interesting. So yeah, So the next PLA Fashion Berlin,
<v Speaker 3>we have an open challenge for the US title. I
<v Speaker 3>can't wait to see who steps up tonight. Good stuff.
<v Speaker 3>Now we go back to the ring and the tag
<v Speaker 3>team match is ready to go. We've got Dawkins and
<v Speaker 3>Tongala kicking things off, Tongala in charge off the bat
<v Speaker 3>and then Tama Tonga comes into the action, continues to dominance,
<v Speaker 3>but Dawkins starts to make a comeback and Ford comes
<v Speaker 3>into the ring demonstrating as per some really nice who
<v Speaker 3>gets a two count, A couple of big clotheslines for
<v Speaker 3>another two count, but Tamatonga fights back, putting the Tongas
<v Speaker 3>back in overall charge and a two count for Tongala.
<v Speaker 3>Montes gets a big kick and a tag follows some
<v Speaker 3>great double team moves sky high from Dawkins and forward
<v Speaker 3>from the top with a massive splash and only Tamatonga
<v Speaker 3>stops Street profits getting the three count and the whim.
<v Speaker 3>Tamatonga launches forward over the top and then polaxes him
<v Speaker 3>onto his head, which looked gnarly on the outside. As
<v Speaker 3>we go for a break and as we come back,
<v Speaker 3>Ford is trying to fight back in a DDT on Tongalwa,
<v Speaker 3>but is unable to capitalize. Ford and Tamatonga both in
<v Speaker 3>off the double tag. Dawkins is in charge with a
<v Speaker 3>massive kick and a super class super close to count.
<v Speaker 3>Dawkins hits the silencer and and tags forward, but the
<v Speaker 3>pin is broken up again at the last minute. Dawkins
<v Speaker 3>on the outside takes out Tamatonga and Tonga lower and
<v Speaker 3>now we get Solo sticking his nose in a ringside
<v Speaker 3>but forward from the top to the outside takes out
<v Speaker 3>both and then Jacob Fattou with a super kick to
<v Speaker 3>each of the prophets, and it looks like Solo's got
<v Speaker 3>the ref distracted. At this point, Tamatonga hits a DDT
<v Speaker 3>on Dawkins, and thanks to Solo and Jacob Fattou, the
<v Speaker 3>Bloodline retained the tag titles. So again here I don't
<v Speaker 3>think anyone expected the profits to win, but they certainly
<v Speaker 3>put a kid account of themselves in and there were
<v Speaker 3>moments where you thought, maybe, actually this could happen a
<v Speaker 3>good match. I think the street profits with Beefab are
<v Speaker 3>looking pretty good. I'm excited to think what might develop
<v Speaker 3>with them in this new look and this new formation
<v Speaker 3>of the group. There's then some after us as Solo
<v Speaker 3>instructure the breadline to finish off the profits, but dys
<v Speaker 3>music hits and they come to the aid of the profits.
<v Speaker 3>Just as it looks like Dry going to kick Solo's ass,
<v Speaker 3>Jacob Fatu comes back like a cockroach in the Apocalypse
<v Speaker 3>and takes out DIY. The commentary team asked, is this
<v Speaker 3>the end for the otc Roman reigns? Will we ever
<v Speaker 3>see him again? And I think we all know the
<v Speaker 3>answer to that, We absolutely will. We now go to
<v Speaker 3>Cody backstage. She is coming out with Ko, and Ko
<v Speaker 3>wants to make sure that Cody believes him that this
<v Speaker 3>tonight isn't a set up and he isn't that guy anymore.
<v Speaker 3>Cody says he believes him and takes his word. Hmm,
<v Speaker 3>could this be the Ko turn? Possibly? And as we
<v Speaker 3>get back from the break, we are backstage with Byron,
<v Speaker 3>who tells us that both the Prophets and Diy are
<v Speaker 3>in the medical room. Befab comes out and says they're
<v Speaker 3>will fine, it's just precautionary measure. As Indie and Candice
<v Speaker 3>also go to the medical room, she says they are
<v Speaker 3>just well. She used the pea wad, but I'm not
<v Speaker 3>sure if I'm allowed to use the P word on
<v Speaker 3>the podcast. I'm going to go with annoyed. We then
<v Speaker 3>go to a wicked vigneer from meeting, saying that she's
<v Speaker 3>been told you're too ugly, you're too fat. You don't
<v Speaker 3>have to look to be patient to make it. You
<v Speaker 3>have to be nice. You have to be patient, you
<v Speaker 3>have to be less ambitious. She says everyone has tried
<v Speaker 3>to limit her and they failed. She asks Nia if
<v Speaker 3>she thinks she will be the one, she says in Balin,
<v Speaker 3>she's going to slaughter her. This is awesome. I love
<v Speaker 3>how dangerous they are making meeting feel. Also think she
<v Speaker 3>said it was a street fight and that would be awesome. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>that would be great. We then go backstage where we
<v Speaker 3>see pretty deadly. I don't know if I've mentioned it,
<v Speaker 3>but I love them and take time Tiffy time trying
<v Speaker 3>to superglue Nya's crown back together. Nya says meeting made
<v Speaker 3>a big mistake touching her crown and that next week
<v Speaker 3>she will get the beating of a lifetime. I hope
<v Speaker 3>that Tiffany cashes in on Nya soon. Doesn't feel like
<v Speaker 3>it fits with her character to be so submissive and
<v Speaker 3>snippy to Nya, and I am hoping it's just a
<v Speaker 3>ploy to cash in and they don't completely trash the
<v Speaker 3>Tiffany character. We then get Chelsea and Piper sniping around
<v Speaker 3>the corner about Naya, saying how obvious it is that
<v Speaker 3>Tiffy's gonna cash in and that's obviously the only reason
<v Speaker 3>that their friends et cetera, et cetera. No I come
<v Speaker 3>around the corner and says, this week isn't the week
<v Speaker 3>to mess with her, and then they confirm it is
<v Speaker 3>a street fight and it's next week on SmackDown, not Billin.
<v Speaker 3>So that's that's great looking forward to that one. Now
<v Speaker 3>we get the main event, which is Cody and Ko
<v Speaker 3>versus Waller and Theory. We get started with Cody and
<v Speaker 3>Waller in the ring and a quick tag to Ko
<v Speaker 3>with another tag to Cody, followed by a cover for two.
<v Speaker 3>Ko comes back in and levels Waller with a massive
<v Speaker 3>punch followed by some huge chops. Theory comes in and
<v Speaker 3>a big kick to Ko. As we come back from
<v Speaker 3>the break, Ko is coming off the top with one
<v Speaker 3>of his massive splashes to Waller. Ko makes the tag
<v Speaker 3>to Cody, who gets the better of Waller straight away.
<v Speaker 3>He hits a big disaster kick Theory involved on the
<v Speaker 3>outside wallow. Waller hits a flatliner, but Cody kicks out.
<v Speaker 3>Cody looks to be in trouble but tries to fight back,
<v Speaker 3>looking for a tag, but Theory remaining in charge. Cody
<v Speaker 3>hits his Cody Cutter from Nowhere and Theory stops the
<v Speaker 3>tag and gets a headlock on Cody. Waller gets tagged
<v Speaker 3>back in. Cody throws Waller and Deary out and gets
<v Speaker 3>the tag to Ko, who takes out Waller and Theory
<v Speaker 3>on the outside. Ko with a cannon ball on Waller
<v Speaker 3>and a swanton for the cover, which Theory breaks up.
<v Speaker 3>Cody hits crossroads on Theory while Ko goes for the
<v Speaker 3>stunner but is counted, but then manages to get a
<v Speaker 3>pop up power bomb and Ko gets the win. Several
<v Speaker 3>times through this match we got the t's that somebody
<v Speaker 3>missed somebody else's tag, or somebody got the distracted and
<v Speaker 3>wasn't there when the tag was to be made, et cetera,
<v Speaker 3>et cetera. But ultimately there was no Ko turn and
<v Speaker 3>once again guys shocking me. My predictions are a bust.
<v Speaker 3>This is news to no one. The show ends this
<v Speaker 3>week with Kao and Cody celebrating together in the ring
<v Speaker 3>and no spectacular turn, no shunky ending, nothing at all.
<v Speaker 3>All in all, another great show this week. Loving the
<v Speaker 3>build to the Bashing Berlin with the bloodline stuff running
<v Speaker 3>alongside as well, and also the story that's being built
<v Speaker 3>between Tiffany Nya and meechin the wheel she wrote she
<v Speaker 3>cash in? Are they really friends? Also the character development
<v Speaker 3>that they're doing with Meechin. I think at the moment
<v Speaker 3>we've got ourselves a really strong product here. So really enjoying,
<v Speaker 3>really enjoying the backdown, looking forward to Bashing Bell very much,
<v Speaker 3>and looking forward to next week's show, which I guess
<v Speaker 3>is probably coming from Berlin, which puts in a much
<v Speaker 3>more friendly time zone for me selfishly, So that's great news.
<v Speaker 3>So that just about does it for this week's show
<v Speaker 3>once again, and as always, thank you for having me
<v Speaker 3>in your ears. Thank you for all your comments and
<v Speaker 3>interactions in the week. I really do appreciate it. Give
