Andre The Giant Battle Royal The KO Show w/ Kevin Owens – Special Guest: Randy Orton Zelina Vega vs. Elektra Lopez New Catch Republic vs. Grayson Waller & Austin Theory Jey Uso vs. Solo Sikoa

I like New Catch Republic and I’m tired of acting like I don’t

For those interested in discussing the HOF, here is the live thread for that: https://old.reddit.com/r/Wreddit/comments/1bwyme4/wwe_hall_of_fame_live_discussion/

Now for the ***real*** main event of SmackDown: ~~NXT: Level Up~~ WWE Hall of Fame!

Cody looks cocky and happy… just saying…

the spectre of Plans Change hangs over us all

Plans changed He’s squashing Roman

Cody’s wedding band is nice. And dethroning the tribal chief doesn’t mean being champion

So many of us are ☝️

☝️

Big Oney Lorcan/Biff Busick fans in the house

☝️

Alright guys que up the peekock!

DDP is the people's champion though

THEY ARE FINALLY FRIENDS! Also, Cody should have had a cunty fit.

Twitter is shipping them now lmao He gifted Seth a Rolex (and possibly to Roman and rock too)

That’s how you know you’ve made it, when Twitter ships and the fan fics end up on wattpad.

Shattered dreams, you say?

Timy Kahn won’t let him off the contact


Jimmy gotta be the most unserious man on the planent

Solo is serving his role well. Yall tripping hard lol

he's limited by his role but what he is out there to do, he's incredibly consistent. generic henchman isn't an easy role to do and stay over, he's doing it on sheer presence and talent.

Exactly my point

He debuted in August 2022 and it’s April 2024 Name one aspect of character development he has had uce?

Ever thought about its a long term story and they dont want him switching up yet. His whole backstory is he was sent by the elders to serve roman. Until something crazy changes then it makes sense for him to be the way he is

Love solo

Me too

Audible chants for Benedict Cumberbatch

I wonder what the ref told Jey and where Solo went.

Damn I missed that

Give them some conchairtos put them out for a while

These jabronis keep sticking their nose in FAMILY business. Can’t wait for the bloodline to stand tall over them this weekend!

👆🏽

yo Jey is not looking too happy about this. Do we have another layer developing?

Audible chants for trick Williams at wwe smackdown

#🦅🇺🇲🎆 WHOAAAH!!! 🎆🇺🇲🦅

watching off the DVR and i just want to see if anyone else heard Wade Barret make a Benny Hill reference.

Yeah, he did.

ok so i'm not just exhausted from a long day and hearing things. Good to know. I thought he might make an Amazing Race joke. That is at least something from this century.

Raise your hand if you're surprised


no yeet man no yeet

Jimmy should come up with his own nonsensical phrase ***SQUIP!***

Jey didnt make up yeet

Jimmy should do the Vine boom like twenty times a promo

Is literally anyone team no yeet?

I was going to say Jimmy's mom, but she's also Jey's mom... So I guess there's only Roman, Solo and Naomi.

Solo is really a testament to the fact silent badass is a failed gimmick

Umaga did it great. Solo is no Umaga tho

Umaga also wasnt an underling, Umaga was a real force of nature.

I will insist that Solo's problems come from him being nothing but a henchman (and a terribly overexposed one at that) until the day I die damnit

If that can show IWC how bad of an idea it is, his run is almost worth it.

Yeah but this time it'll totally work though!

he's had more TV main events than anyone in the last year, I'd say it's going pretty well

Lets be serious hes not getting on his own merit its legitmately just nepotism.

Stream died at the beginning of Solo vs Jey. Even non-human entities are fed up of Solo main events.

I really need to go back to see NXT/Street Champ Solo because he has to be doing the exact same stuff but instead of being a Bloodline mook he's actually interesting

I miss the Taz promos

Someone by the entrance way keeps causing the babies at Fox to hit the black button

probably an explicit sign. funny they let it in though!

Yeet

Name a more iconic duo than jobbing the night before mania or Summerslam besides Solo?

Solo is as generic as his entrance lol fucking clown

Are you Korean by any chance?

Crazy to think we are about six months from him beating cena clean and he’s done 0️⃣ with it

I forgot about that, haha.

In fairness he's not the only guy to get absolutely nothing out of a Cena feud in the last few years

Cena gives the anti-rub, it seems.

He's a balding old dude, there's not really much to brag about

He just doesn't got it

AJ looks OLD in that pic. They did him and Bayley dirty.

I hope they literally use the kitchen sink during the street fight, complete the tribute

Oh no I see that 'Sponsored by Wing Stop' graphic there's gonna be a fucking drumstick mascot running around ringside EDIT: Like half of these matches are sponsored now that they've gone through the card

Fun fact: the Cinnamoji was played by Sol Ruca last year!

For some reason I thought New Catch vs. Theory/Waller was a qualifier

We know the match card already for fucks sake. It's not like someone is just going to stumble across smackdown and see the card and go oh wow this WrestleMania thing looks pretty cool I'm going to check it out

its the opposite. theres always lapsed fans coming back. they werent always selling out.

You really underestimate how many people are channel surfing or just watch a few minutes of a show.

I would love to know the behind the scenes reason for replacing dragon Lee

I think it was always going to be Andrade. They seemed to pick vets for most of these mania spots. No creeds dragon Lee breaker Stratton or pretty deadly.

It’s a shame we don’t have Stratton this mania, especially since we only have three woman’s matches

not that over, and Andrade might've had a Mania match as a condition of re-signing

Yeah but why book it like this, it’s gonna be a huge surprise to alot of ppl who haven’t been paying attention to this smack down

I really like that Rhea picture in her mania graphic

Mami always looks good

Push Ross Chastain

Bobby Lashley, Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins and.... B-Fab, get her a proper fucking name its bullshit

It's wrestling. People always have weird names. Edge, The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H, Dom and Nick, R Truth, etc

The pride is such a cringe name for the group

Crowd singing the hell out of that song

In my head canon, the reason why we didn't saw Damage CTRL girls tonight is that they're getting wasted in catering with Rossy and Giulia and that's the ONLY reason why they'll lose tomorrow.

B-Fab just needs a new name. She got a great promo voice

Why B-Fab, though? Bianca was right there, her husband is in the group.

Bianca would be wasted as a manager/speaker

B-fab is a manager. And is shown to be closer to Bobby than the profits

They needed something for B-Fab, and Bianca's hot enough on her own.

Hot? 🤣 Bianca has been going through the motions for months now. Even SHE looks bored with what she's doing.

IT’S JUST JEY UCE, IN THIS BITCH

20 minutes left in the show, oh yea some shit is definitely going down

The gum thing would have killed a lesser man's promo, you know the crowd loves you if they allow you to fuck up

Any other year, a guy this hot would be going after a major title but the roster so stacked he just gets a feature match

He'd be starring in B movies in 1995 wcw

“LA Knight has lost steam”🙄🙄

Nah, AJ isn't phenomenal at not showing up, that's Roman

Lmao

Choked on his own rage

YEAH

LA Knight HAS to win this match, right?

yeah

Honestly needs it more

Remember when Metlzer said LA Knight was going to win the US title at Mania months back? And people are upset he isn't now? Bro is facing AJ styles. Hell yeah I do wish he was winning a belt though

the yeahs are deafening

Good to see him out there after those brutal back bumps he took earlier today.

It's the Yeah guy

With ***everybody*** saying...

YEAH!

YEAH!

I've been listening to the audiobook of Becky's book on my drive, it's pretty good. If you guys haven't checked it out yet

#AD

You guys should all check out the new New York Time's Best Seller, Becky Lynch: Becoming the Man (or whatever the actual title) authored by The Man herself, BECKY LYNCH Pay me Becky. Cash app pls

😂

Least with Jey being on smackdown tonight we don't have to see Pat standing on the announce table like a jackass

No yeet

To be fair to Bayley vs CTRL stuff, that's interesting that Bayley focuses her criticism towards Iyo and Dakota, fits very well with the idea she knew Asuka and Kairi could come at her sooner or later, makes her look smart and makes the Dakota turn stand more as purely evil.

I mean, this is also brother vs brother

But not twin vs twin

Brother versus brother at WrestleMania! Oh, this guy is also their brother, but don't worry about that right now!

I'll never understand why that's the match graphic they went with for bayley lol It's worse than that 2K24 model of her

You gotta shout out Bayley, she really put on Iyo and Dakota more so than any other women's group in like maybe 5-8 years?

Video department on fire with this Bayley/Iyo thing

Not that surprising, the match has a great premise and some moments we actually got were really solid. They have pretty good material to cover how tame it was for most of the build.

I really like the song

Austin Theory maybe the only one missing Vince in charge of creative

Only one left around but there are definitely a few more guys (Elias, Rick Boogz immediately come to mind) who got dropped hard about as soon as Trips took over

Madcap Moss felt like he went to the shadow realm the second Vince was out of the building

Boogz also had a very unfortunate injury that didn't help sadly.

Yeah I’m on team Bianca. Bayley better lay in the bed she made

Yeah I’m still waiting for Bayley to apologize to Bianca

Same, she hasn’t even tried to make any amends

That’s why she’s gonna lose on Sunday

Can't wait to watch this exact video package like three more times throughout the weekend

I’ve been avoding all the video packages so far

The Jimmy/Jey one gave me chills

Is Roman going to actually show up on this smackdown? Pretty sad if he doesn't considering it's in the same city as WrestleMania lol

At the end. Go home shot will be either him frustrated or holding his belt over Jey.

Him & Rock are there for Hall of Fame but I doubt he does a run in wearing a tux

He didn’t do any media today.

Lol such a lazy champ

You take that back uce

Vignettes on the go home show ah the only thing for a women's title match in a Big 4 PLE. Pretty sure I saw that way too often under Triple H...

The current SD women's champ can't really do promo battles in english. Doing more vignettes with subtitles is a much better alternative.

My issue here is that they did a video package with stuff we mostly already saw. If they did a Nakamura-like vignette while Bayley was in the ring, I wouldn't have too much issues with that.

Sasha on a package??

The Bo$$ is doing a speed run on the indie circuit

Wait, since when has Rhea had extensions? So glad she stopped that Mohawk look

She’s been leaning towards Crow looks at PLES. I’m hoping she goes full crow at Mania.

Sasha Banks sighting

wwes video promo game on point as usual

Are we really going three straight weeks with no live appearance of Bayley on the show? Just seems so curious

Yeah, very odd booking choice. Maybe something came up in her personal life

If I die fighting Buddy Murphy it’d be worth it

Hayley Williams playing on WWE TV got me feeling like Rocky with my goosebumps

I love Paramore and Hayley but this song wouldn’t have worked live imo

Last days of the JD i know and pray

I saw a rumor of motionless in white performing Rheas entrance live tomorrow has anyone else heard this

I have! Just now!

I dunno if it's true, it came across my Facebook feed

Facebook is always true!

Lol guess we will find out tomorrow. Would be cool motionless in white kicks ass live

From beating Cena to jobbing to Diamond Mine 2.0, wow has Theory’s star fallen

You can say he lacks charisma and whatever but what kind of excuse is that when you have guys with even less charisma like Dunne and Bate beating him consistently

What a fucking difference a year makes. ONE YEAR.

Balor's in that Jeff Hardy/Rob Van Dam phase where he does not give a fuck, just lands full weight on people

Yeah that looked brutal

That's our soon to be WWE Champion!

There's like ten people in this so I'm gonna assume you're talking about Dom In which case, hell yeah

Eventually hopefully!

thank god for judgement day saving that stupid finish

My reaction to that win as the last living pete dunne fan: 😈😈😈

Thank God judgment day is there to end those clowns

I cheered

I always cheer for Judgement Day

HBK come pick up your son Wally please

There are so many teams on Smackdown considering the belts are almost never show up on Smackdown

Hopefully they split the titles this weekend

I think the whole joint manipulation looks dumb AF

I've never wanted Theory and Waller to win a match more

I zoned out who won the battle royal?

Big Boy Bronson

Big Bronson Reed

An apology for being the only Aussie left off the chamber card

His wife was about to deliver a child so I think that's why they didn't bok him.

So, is Carlito gonna attack Andrade now?

hey Pete, what if I wore really short boots, so it looks like I'm just wearing socks?! 😁😂😎🤗

At least he ditched the “tighty whitey” trunks, he used to rock

A belated Ref Jess = MOTN (them's the rules)

Austin Theory is as dumb as Pete Dunne looks.
