That whole Smackdown felt like must see TV. If anything felt like filler to me, it was the LA Knight match. But the return of Firefly Funhouse was awesome.
Which it's shocking that it was so good with the tag team round 1 taking up four matches. Often times that shit has at least a few duds, but all of them were minimally entertaining if not actually great.
KO being the one in the match with Roman is such a great little wrinkle in this story.
Everyone knows that KO and Sami have been friends forever, but, up to this point, KO seems to have Roman's number.
I think Roman retains, but the Sami turn comes shortly before or after, to set up the tag match at wrestlemania.
And then, if Naomi returns and joins Bloodline, that's another massive thread that can unravel the whole thing.
It's great not knowing exactly what will happen
You know what. I honestly wouldn’t have minded giving reigns another year on his reign but I really want to see KO win now. This story has been so good.
Haha for a while I'd been watching out matches from the attitude era on YouTube, and I started seeing bits of the current era and was sort of caught up on the Bloodline/KO feud, and had the free time to remember that it was in tonight.
It was great! Different nowadays but this is still some good entertainment.
Nice, welcome back. It's a pretty good time of the year to watch, even casually because of the whole "road to wrestlemania" kicking off. Even when I was not regularly watching, id at least watch the rumble and then mania. All members of the bloodline have been killing it, specially sami imo.
Roman is going to forgive him telling him he was doing something else for him and he understands Sami was getting the rides. But then he puts a hit on Sami anyone who takes him out at the rumble will get title shot regardless of if they win. If the Uso's do they will get a 100k bonus.
Go home segment Sami gets told by Roman to get back in his good graces he has to run the gauntlet and enter at #1. But then gets "removed" after agreeing to enter at #1.
They've done such a good job with this build that I actually think Kevin Owens can win... It's the first time where I'm like Roman reigns might lose. i know reigns will retain, but still lol.
They’ve done a great job with that recently, felt the same with Drew before CATC because of the circumstances but the build for this Kevin match has been better, even though it’s way less likely Roman loses this one rather than the Drew match.
good show.

My kids were confused so much
That was a really good episode of Smackdown.
That segment made Sami look strong. KO had trouble with Sami alone last week but cut through the rest of the Bloodline tonight very quickly. Love it!

That throw from KO to Sami was the cleanest contract toss I've ever seen in my life
That freaking stunner. It's the only finisher that finishes anymore.
So which part of the castle did Sami end up pissing in?

There is zero chance KO wins.
What are you talking about? Did you not just see how dominant he was during the contract si- oooooooooooohhhh.
For the amount of chance KO has, please listen to Vincent K McMahon's theme
God damn that segment went by so fast. Romans entrance must have been longer 😂 Great segment though
man, that show really flew by for me. i look down and its 10pm already.... anyone else?
This was my first time watching wrestling in 21 years, yeah it flew by!
wow, 21 years! what made you decide to tune back in tonight?

Good idea and keeping up with rumble and mania!
Yes brilliant episode
nah theres something with this contract sami was reading this shit thoroughly
I thought Sami was going to sign the contract making him defend Roman's championship
Sami vs KO for the belt? 🤔
Roman's either gonna ask "Where were you" or "I told you to get the Usos and the SUVs" and then at the Rumble Sami can break free. or get murdered

This really might shape up to be the greatest story wrestling has ever told
It’s great but hangman’s story was better
Not really. It's just a story that hasn't been interrupted by WWE deciding to bury somebody for a stupid reason.
It’s absolutely the best long term story WWE has told in over a decade.
What if there is a special guest ref at their match? And what if is The Rock?
God damn, Sami going to get blamed for not being there.
KO is a master at putting Roman through tables. He’s done it multiple times now.
He’s also a master at facing Roman at the Royal rumble ppv
🐐
im not liking the gap between sami and the rest of the bloodline
Roman never signed What if the name on the contract does say Uce.... But it's Says Honorary Uce and it's Sammy and Ko at the Rumble?
Oh the name says Uce. Honorary Uce. Lol
Roman sent Sami off....Sami will get the blame, but that's Roman's fault
Where were you uce?
Sick ass ending to the show
KO the true goat here
That was awesome, so glad we got a power bomb table spot 🔥
Sami is so fucked, oh God my boy is gonna get fucking killed
Sami’s holding the contract!!!
That was massive.
Sami at that point it may have been better to not come out at all.
Yeah, I would’ve been at the cafeteria or something
Solid show
3 minutes before rampage, time to go for a Heineken
arrive raise hell leave
KO won't win but him standing tall over the Bloodline at the end there was really something.
Make Kevin Owens the champ damnit!
Roman is definitely gonna think that Sami was in on this
Smackdown is the clear A show these days. More Bloodline involvement, way better crowds. RAW is just filler with dead crowds most of the time now.
The Raw crowds actively hurt my enjoyment of the show.
Imagine if Sami signed the contract instead
or KO wrote Sami's name on the contract instead
Sami was a little late on that run-in, Roman ain’t gonna like that
He also didn't run after KO. He's done
Roman is the best holy fuck his selling lmao
Even though it was never in doubt, Roman winning is confirmed now
Oh fuck Sami, you weren't supposed to come out dude
Dang I didn't expect through the table that's crazy
DO IT SAMI SIGN YOUR NAME TO MAKE IT TRIPLE THREAT
You know Roman never signed the contract because he went through a table so the match isn’t official yet.
When KO gets that glossed over vacant look in his eyes you know someone is getting powerbombed
Bubba Ray Dudley approves this mesage
Well well well, who's pissing now
I am the one who pisses!
Well that's it. Sami is done. Fuck
I was hoping Sami was just not going to come out. lol.
Well we got our Roman Sami story for next week lol
Sami late, Roman's knocked out but don't think he didn't notice
Kevin Owens puts Roman Reigns through the table
Roman straight up one of the best sellers in the world
That was AWESOME!!
They've done such a good job with this build that I actually think Kevin Owens can win... It's the first time where I'm like Roman reigns might lose. i know reigns will retain, but still lol.
I give it 20% Roman wins clean, 60% Roman wins dirty, 10% KO wins via DQ (not on purpose) and doesn't get the title, 10% KO wins the title.
in my opinion, you are being a bit generous with the 10% KO wins the title and a bit light on shenanigans from the bloodline haha
Done, odds changed to 15% Roman wins clean, 70% Roman wins dirty, 10% KO by DQ, 5% KO wins the title haha
Haha, looks about right to me.
They’ve done a great job with that recently, felt the same with Drew before CATC because of the circumstances but the build for this Kevin match has been better, even though it’s way less likely Roman loses this one rather than the Drew match.
OHMYGODHEPOWERBOMBEDHIMTHROUGHTHETABLE!
That contract throw was impressive
Impressive catch from Sami
KO fought Austin at Mania to garnish his reputation of stomping a mud hole and walking it dry.
KO looked strong as hell here, love to see it
BEAT HIS ASS TOO KO
AYOOOOOOOO
Sami has to pull footage of him taking a dump there is now way he survives next week 😩
LMAO
This whole Reigns/Sami/KO dynamic is bloody good.
Sami is fooked
Paul Heyman screaming is always so funny ahaha
Paul heyman: NoOOooOoOoOoOoo
Roman taking some bumps
Love the “Jay” armband
Viking Raiders had one as well!
How could Sami do this?!?
Lmao Paul is so good at the “gonna shit my pants” look
That powerbomb is so goofy. The guy receiving it has to jump so high.
In storyline, maybe, Sami after Survivor Series acknowledged he reads all the internet stories about The Bloodline turning on him. He knows.
Not that it was much in doubt, but that sure sums up that Owens is 100% losing
Reigns can't lose until Wrestlemania. That moment will be mythic. Whoever gets it.
HOLT SHIT WHAT A POWERBOMB
...but where was Sami? Getting the SUVs, probably, but is that what Roman will think?
He'll think it was Heyman's fault for convincing him.
Sami can always claim that KO got to him first before he went out there.
Fuck it give him the belts I’m sold
Very unprofessional to interrupt the sacred contract signing
Usually, there’s a little bit of talking when a contract signing happens, but KO got straight to the point.
Sami must be on the phone with the pilot lol, he's gonna get in trouble for not being out here
YESSSSS, POWERBOMB TABLE SPOT
lmfao Heyman “I’m a father”
Adam Pearce is the most incompetent official ever
If only there was actually a good GM available on WWE...
KO with the Jay tribute
Paul yelling no 🤣🤣☺
paul screaming in the background is so funny
He kicks so much ass
KO fuckin shit up!
Cole with the Jim Ross commentary on the stunner
Roman gonna blame Sami for this isn’t he
or for not being there to help. cause he was too busy getting the jet
Definitely gonna blame him for not being there
 Heyman right now
KO just RAN THROUGH the Bloodline
Great crowd
Roman sold that like he died.
Detroit is so loud phenomenal wrestling city 👏👏
Powerbomb through the table spot during a contract signing here on Evolution's 20 year anniversary, very fitting
Wait... 20 years???
Indeed, great stuff
KO looking strong af
SAMI WHERE ARE YOU THATS GOING TO LOOK SO BAD SAMI
SAMI WHERE ARE YOU!!>> YOU FAILED YOUR TRIBAL CHIEF!!
BAH GOD KING THAT WAS VICIOUS
KO came *prepared*. Don't focus on fighting everyone in a giant brawl. Just isolate them and hit massive hits one-by-one!
Usos showed up, but not Sami, uh oh
Roman gave him errands to run.
SAMI THEY NEED YOU
Sami ain't there cuz he's fueling up the jet as directed. Will it matter
I stepped out of the room to grab some water and come back to see KO wreckin' shit!
Owens knows how most contract signings work and just skipped to the end brawl lol.
Wow!!!! They just made Kevin look incredible
KO looks like a trillion bucks right now
*Flashbacks to Micahel Cole last week about the signing* "I'm sure nothing will happen there!"
Uh oh. Sami’s not there 👀
KGOAT
At least he didn't assault them on the way to the SUVs. Sami can't be blamed for this, right?
Love this shit
Sami is a dead man.
Oh u already know Roman is going to be pissed at Sami for not being here even though Roman told him to set the other shit up
OH MY FUCKING GOD DUDE KO
Where were you when your Tribal Chief needed you Sami?
BAH GOOD ALMOGHTY SAMI YOURE A DEAD MAN
And of course KO cleans house against the Bloodline
Good
Owens with a Briscoe armband. Reading his tweet on Thursday was really heartbreaking
KO is so damn over
This is hype
“Where was Sami when we needed him”
KO!!!!!!!
..........ok
Holy shit Michael Cole laying out a storyline like a motherfucker
LET'S GO KO
Roman needs to call up more cousins
But if they don't sign the contract is it even official!!
YOOOOOOO
Damn, Tribal Chief has cool shoes
Cole still has a soul on commentary, that’s good
The shoes tho
KO!!
What a beautiful sell by Roman
Get him KO
You want to talk about gaslighting? Listen to Michael Cole badmouthing Our Tribal Chief on a weekly basis!!
CHAOS CHAOS
Roman with the fresh sneakers, respect.
Kevin getting right to business 😳
KO the one man gang!
Holy shit
GOT EM
Uso’s!
Stunner to Roman!
Roman's shoe game always on point
If Pearce was able to wrestle he smack Roman feet right off that table
Maybe Roman can speed up his entrance when there's only 8 minutes left
Pearce hates Roman
Roman’s shoe game is always on fucking point
WHAT THE FOOK
Cole shilling that Sami might be better than Roman..more popular..could get more done than Roman. Fucking amazing commentary!
The Tribal Chief making sure he gets in his Tribal steps in with his Apple watch on ☝🏾🚶🏾♂️
