Hello and thank you so much for joining us for your Smackdown post show, the Smackdown After Summer Slam. We're still catching up on all of the fallout, so get in those Super Chats, get in those Humper Chats at HumperChats.com and please leave a thumbs up on this video. Acknowledge your tribal chiefs of wrestling media by leaving a thumbs up on this video. We have so much to talk about. It's always a big show when Sean is here, so we're gonna get in to all of that and more. We hope that you'll chat along with us. So much happening on Fightful Select. OMG, so busy over there. We're gonna let Sean talk to you about that in just a second. But Alex, how are you doing before we get things kicked off here? I'm doing excellent. Whenever Sean's here, I'm just gonna sit back, put my feet up on the table, drink some water and let's go. That's not a bad way to go. Stay chill, stay hydrated. Sean is in the house. Obviously, Roman Reigns returning at Smackdown. Tonight, returning at Summer Slam, but some huge developments in the bloodline story that OTC shirts selling off the shelves very, very quickly. My goodness. But Sean, let's start with that. Let's talk some Roman Reigns. Back here on Smackdown today. Huge news at Summer Slam. It did great things for our post show here at Fightful. We were closing in on 40,000 views on YouTube alone, but everybody wanted to talk about it. I assume people are gonna be in to talking about it tonight. Any additional information that you have for us there? Yeah, there's just a lot going on there. So, FightfulSelect.com. Best $5 in the business. That's who's bringing you all these scoops that I'm about to unleash on you guys. And I got a whole bunch coming over the next week. I mean, I've got so much contract news across multiple companies that I've got somebody who one talent says has been signed by AEW coming tomorrow on FightfulSelect. $5 a month, $54 a year if you prefer that. But Roman Reigns right before the show or about an hour before the show revealed that he's got full new expanded music, sort of a remix of what we heard before, heard a little bit of a taste of that prior. But obviously Roman Reigns is going to be featured more often. He's announced for next week Smackdown as well. We also have been dropping scoops in the discord. So, a lot of people thought it was a foregone conclusion that Roman Reigns would return. But we're not allowed to operate off of foregone conclusions or assumptions. So, if you were in the discord last Saturday night, you saw me as soon as I heard people were in gorilla, I'm like, this person, this person, this person. Much of that happened this evening as well. We kind of revealed he's going to go back after the tribal chief title, which we kind of knew, but the physical thing as well. But Roman Reigns, we had reported he actually wasn't in the top three in merch over the weekend. But I mean, that was for the live event, the Superstore and stuff and he's been gone a while. They didn't expect him to be. And now they definitely expect him to be. Especially as a babyface, he could end up rivaling Cody Rhodes, who has been blowing away merch numbers for a long time. But those custom title belts of Roman Reigns sold out and made them a ton of money, just a ton of money. But a lot of other news, Bobby Lashley's deal is up this week with the WWE. That's not it. We're going to have more details on this on Fightful Select tomorrow, but Lashley will be near the site of collision tomorrow, but I don't know if it's to be at collision. He just happens to have like a late birthday party nearby, of which I know that a lot of wrestlers are like, hey, let me see if I can get booked on collision and get that travel. So Bobby Lashley's deal is up this week. People that I talked too close to him think that he will be headed to AEW. Lots of contract news, but we had Kevin Owens as well with the title shot. We had revealed that. I think a boo actually may have tweeted about that today as well. And I want to shout out a boo of Russell Puris, friend of Fightful. But this is opinion based. I love and I got messages from people in WWE. He loves to close those logic gaps. Like, if something like this happens and he doesn't deserve a title shot, it's not just going to be as easy as Cody saying, well, you know what, I'll give you one. He's going to be like, well, no, I would need to be motivated to have one. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was Kevin Owens idea. I don't know that for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever. Giovanni Vinci is back. He has not, from what I understand, he hasn't been hurt. When I talked to people backstage in WWE, they said he had just been waiting creative and there's going to be a bit of a more focus on him. He has been highly touted for his athleticism within WWE for a long time. He got compared a lot to Cesaro Claudio years ago at the PC. So I think that he's going to get a little bit of a shot here. And if it doesn't work, I could see him back in a tag team or something like that. Another element that got brought up to me was the fact that I mentioned that they were setting up a bunch of women's trios. Like, not just on SmackDown, but Raw as well between Lyra, Kate, and Katana as well, or Casey and Katana, as well as just a number of other ones. Shayna Sonja and Zoe, yeah, there's been a lot that have been around for sure. Yeah, I was told that's not an accident. I don't know what that means. I was just told it's not an accident. So, but also, we're going to have an awful lot of news. Listen, next week's going to be an interesting news week. There's going to be some news that will be very kind to Fightful. And another recent report, I'll say that much. If what I'm hearing is true, but we got some super chats, got some Humper chats. We got Bad Robot saying hello, favorite post show and the true King of the Ring, King of the Receipts, SRS. Hey! We got Pretty Deadly, Andrade, Santos and Big Ladies. How happy is Alex? Alex, how happy are you? I am like a pig and poop right now, baby. All right. I'm just super happy with my ladies. My just taking over TV. My Latinos are on television. I'm like, let's go. Someone's listening to me over there. Dancing's in the Olympics. He's so happy. He's so happy. All of Alex's favorite things coming down the mountain this Friday at night, for sure. Another nice one for Ricardo saying hello, Friday crew, you are loved. See you after work. Well, we always appreciate you clocking out of work and clocking into the show. The receipts will be coming next week. This one's an interesting one. We get a K-E-775 saying, "Hey Sean, can you stop clicking the chats at the same time I do so that they stop clicking?" You don't come around here often enough, all right? I'm Sola Secoa now. This is my show. But hey, Sean, have you heard anything about AJ returning? This is one that intrigues me because she's like the reason I got into women's wrestling specifically. But we've kind of heard the conversation turn from, she's not going to return. She has a neck injury to, well, maybe, she'll be around as far as CM Punk interviews have gone. Any year to the ground on that, anything that you've heard about that? Well, I'll say this, Alex and I convince you to turn your gain up too high. I'm allowed to, then I shouldn't need it that high. I'm so loud. There were a couple of series of events where I thought maybe it's possible. So when CM Punk went back, there were a lot of people that thought maybe Britt Baker can promo her out of retirement or something like that. She's very clearly an incredible shape. She stays like she looks like she belongs in a ring. Then there was the wow thing and then it's like, "Well, no, she's actually being paid effectively to be a mascot for wow women of wrestling. She's not going to do any wrestling there." She did her seasons wrapped up. But then when she did heels, there was a couple of people saying, "Maybe that's more likely." Since WWE and CM Punk, I'll say this, it seems like a lot more light-hearted near CM Punk in general. I would imagine that you probably got a guy in that house saying, "This wrestling thing ain't so bad if you ever want to come back to it." But even he has said that's a decision on her. Listen, I really respect that about CM Punk is that he is not going to put unrealistic expectations on his wife or pressure her in any regard. He is going to leave that decision completely with her because they have both been in very similar positions in that regard to where sometimes you need that time apart or time away. Yeah. Well, this is hilarious because if the question was about AJ Styles, I just asked you something completely different. Oh, the question's about AJ Styles. He'll be back sooner than later. Wow. Yeah. I mean, yeah. He doesn't have to, he's not there every week. I'll just say that. He's not there every week, but yeah, they will cycle him back in pretty quickly, I would assume. He did the Japan tour, and I know he was very excited to do the Japan tour, and worked Cody and worked in Akamura, and he did the Marafuji match, but had largely been off TV since then. But yeah, he's still there. I would imagine he'll be back on TV. Probably it wouldn't surprise me if they waited until after bash the Berlin, but that's just, it's an assumption there. Guys, getting those super chats, get in those humper chats we've got Sean on for a little bit longer here. If the apology must be as loud as the disrespect, my microphone was apparently shouting. So it'll be equal for you guys. But Joe saying, well, I've been thinking as soon as Roman came back at SummerSlam, is I feel like Roman has finally been the dream babyface. A certain someone spent years trying to make us think he is well-suffering, suck-a-tash, seems like it just took him being the most dominant heel, maybe in the history of wrestling for the past three years to become that. But it was a tremendous pop. I'm so intrigued to see where this goes. Sean, do you have any thoughts about where this might go for Survivor Series? Which side the rock ends up on? Do you see Hiculeo coming into the picture? What are you thinking about as we build to Survivor Series? I do think Hiculeo will come into the picture. However, it's really difficult to determine when at this stage. I think it's pretty clear he'll be on the side of his brothers. And listen, you got a four-person team right there. You can go with Roman, Jimmy, Jay, maybe, Sammy, or Jacob. I think Jacob is the one that people are going to look at and be like, well, who side is he on? Because I all do respect to the Tongans and Solo feel like they need Jacob a little bit. You know what I mean? Jacob is so very clearly like the next up guy. For a long time, people were like, maybe it'll be solo. Everybody right now is like, it will be Jacob. Sorry, I got the hiccups. But it's clear it'll be Jacob. The disrespect to Tonga Loa. But will with a chat saying, does Roman know it's not real the way he was shooting on the fake bloodline? Also asking for an update on Delta. Well, I can tell you this about Delta. She's incredible. You guys have a lot to look forward to. But that was confirmed by fightfulselect.com reported by, I think, L.A.J. might have broken that news a little bit first. Yeah. L.A.J. broke it. Just like she probably broke her golf club at Topgolf. I wouldn't know. I didn't play against her. But Corey Brennan was able to confirm it, but definitely want to give L.A.J. her flowers there. She is relocating right now. Got it. Okay. That might have, there was a typo in that. That might have been about Dakota High. We're trying to get, she sidelined right now. I don't think it's too bad. She's still on TV. They were able to get her involved in that, that physical angle. Although I will say this, there has been a change. And it's actually something I was talking about with Brandon Thurston at the last, at the, the press conference, because it's something that he mentioned. He might, uh, yeah. Yeah, that's what we were doing. We're rubbing shoulders. But he mentioned that he was going, like possibly going to ask about it because back in the day, if somebody wasn't cleared, for in-ring action, they weren't getting touched almost at all in WWE. And now we've seen a big shift in that where Seth Rollins is able to be written off. Dakota was able to be written out of that match. CM Punk was able to do a few things before as well. So I think that's something to definitely look out for. And I will say it makes, it does make things a little bit more difficult for me, because it was pretty strict back then. Like, in fact, the way that I found out, Corey Graves was cleared was that he did that 24/7 title thing. And I go, oh my gosh, they would not have allowed him to do that if he weren't cleared. And that was a complete shot in the dark. And then somebody was like, how did you know he got cleared? Like he went through a lot to do that. But yeah, it's, it's, um, kind of, kind of wild how that's changed. And I think for the better, you trust these professionals to go out there and do something like that safely and, and make yourself a little bit more flexible by the way of storylines as well. I think it was incredible that one of their top draws, and for the most part, I think they did a pretty good job of building out CM Punk versus Drew McIntyre. I wasn't the biggest fan of the payoff, but those two guys were injured for the majority of that feud. And they still found ways to keep it on screen. I thought that was great. And this is also the benefit I think of having so many stables around. If someone is injured, they can still be a mouthpiece. They can still be kept relevant, which is something that I as a fan really like, but Apex Calibre saying solo will fail, and Rock will take over his bloodlines. I love some of the conspiracy theories we've been getting about the rock coming back in here. And also saying rock versus Roman high chief versus tribal chief. Man, I would love it if they built to rock in Roman non title at mania. I think that would be such a very, very cool thing to do because it was all a match that we wanted. It was just not a match that we wanted like this. So any thoughts about that? Are we thinking that far ahead to the next mania, Sean? I saw people saying like, Oh, well, solo versus Roman at mania. And I'm like, what if you stretch this out? Keep in mind, it's not stretching it out to the beginning of April. It's stretching it out to the end of April now. So August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, April, like nine full months. No, that is not good in my opinion. It is either rock versus Cody or rock versus Roman, but still, you don't need to stretch this out until WrestleMania. I think rock versus Roman for what is the real title in that family? The the tribal chief moniker. I think that's important. I think so too. The head of the table. That's what we started arguing about in the first place, right? But any other any other updates? I'm very excited about this Kevin Owens program because I'm a Kevin Owens gal. You're talking about the way he justifies everything. It just like pulled at my heart strings today to hear him say he didn't deserve it. But Randy Orton going over to face Gunther. Have you heard about if they're just being kind of loose with the draft rules once again? Or if there's trades about and any news on that? I mean, sure just seems like it. I don't have anything outside of being told. Yeah, it's I mean being told effectively what you said, but I wasn't given like a real reason or anything. When I said, you know, I'd like at least some sort of additional explanation storyline reason, just make sense of it. Sort of like what we saw with with tonight and Kevin Owens. I was told that don't hold your breath. So sure, sure, that makes sense. Does the rock beat Cody and drop the title to Cina? I think it's so brave that John Cena is avoiding the indies really to not face you. I say that with with great sarcasm. I think he's trying to dodge you. He saw your work. He seen your drop toe hold and he's like, I'm gonna announce my retirement tour a year and a half. So I don't have to face Sean got weak weak toes. That's it. That's it. He doesn't want them dropped or held, but maybe listen, no, nobody has dropped nor held a toe, the likes of which I'm capable of. So certainly not and controlling the wrist. My God, but I didn't I didn't do that to Effie last time. Cause a little fun fact, I didn't realize he wanted me to whip him off the ropes and do it. Like, we were supposed to do a completely different spot where I pull him into me and then do it. And then I maintain risk control, but listen, I'm an improviser. What can I say? Go out there and make magic. What a gifted Matt technician also thrown him into a chair holding his wrist might have been really, really mean, but I guess instead of fighting Sean John Cena might instead go for breaking the record of most amount of titles held. I don't think they would mind taking that away from Rick Flair and giving that to one of the most universally beloved people ever to do it in the wrestling industry. They've been updating those record books. You're on the same page with that, Sean. I think they will. My only regret is that they didn't have him do it like 21 times that way. Wow. That way he can't claim it. Cause I mean, realistically, Rick Flair held that title like 21 times. W.D. just decided it was 16. But listen, I could go on about how I think that NWA and TNA and WCW and WWE should combine title lineages and recognize certain title reigns. But I feel like maybe new Japan should start with combining title reigns and they need to clean up a lot. You're right. Book it, Lauderdale. Okay. Everybody wants seen a SAP at GCW for blood sports, seen it getting involved with blood sport. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. Taking on my boss. But anything else, Sean, before we let you get out of here, that's it. I appreciate you guys. Fightful select.com contract news. I think the next four or five days, honestly, as things stand. It's a crazier for contracts. And I don't think we're done. Like it seems like there's more and more coming down the pipe, but a very generous super chat here before you get out of here. We're going to let you go. But bad robot came in and said I'm actually a very generous robot. I appreciate it versus rocket survivor series. So he can wrestle in a double ring doing ricochet springboard. If they do rock Roman at mania, I hope it's women's match is the main event night one, not three straight years. That's a good point, especially when those women's stories are deserving of it. I think there were a couple of stories last year that were deserving of that spot. It was understandable why they did what they did. They were going to have the rock be around and not in a main event. But I would love to see that. Obviously, I'm always rooting for my ladies. So some good stuff there. Any thoughts on that, Sean? You know, I think that they're in a great situation right now where they can do rock Roman or Cody rock. But the one that they wanted to do, and they've waited to do for so long, to me, you do it just in case you don't have the opportunity to do it again in the future. You've got to do it. You don't want this to turn into a four horseman mania main event or a shield triple threat main event. One of these things that stood the opportunity of being a big thing, staying take or even like you don't want it to become that. So this book is great. Rock beats Cody SRS beats the rock, then Cina beats SRS. I think that's that's the best way to book that. Well, no, I'm going to retire before Cina beats me. You're gonna vacate. You're gonna vacate. I think that's good. Did you guys see the absolute losers wicking out about cannibal corpse lyrics being cannibal corpse lyrics? I don't know what that's in reference to, but if the band is called cannibal corpse, and you're expecting them to sing about rainbows and butterflies, that is odd you. But, well, no, there is a band called rainbows and butterfly corpse. So I mean, expect that from that really. Mr. Costa say, is Def Rebel finally done, though? Nope. They have outsourced some of their music, though. L.A. Knight got his by the way. How about this? Fightful select.com reported today. L.A. Knight, even though he had over six months left, still in his deal, conversations kicked back up around WrestleMania. There was a report that emerged last year saying that he was close to resigning a deal. And people closed him, hit me up, and they're like, no, that is absolutely not true whatsoever. But they kicked up after WrestleMania, and he ended up extending and getting a big raise as well. Well deserved. That guy has been over for like two and a half years and not given very much. So, yeah, we love to love to see that. We love him when wrestlers get paid. We love it when wrestlers get paid. But stay tuned to Fightful Select.com. So much coming down the pike is Sean alluded to with contract news. I mean, you said somebody told you that they were signed by a w maybe the extra Sean. We don't know where he's showing up next, but that Warner deals seems to be coming close to the finish line. It is. I just want to drop this big news. I don't know if you guys knew this. I don't even Sean knows this. But I have resigned with Fightful. You've got contract. Wait, wait, that wasn't you guys. Hold on. I got a check. My lawyer just, I just kind of check for you guys. Oh, no, sitting in gorilla is getting to you. Oh, no. Somebody else got somebody made it so funny enough. I also made that offer to that fella again this week now that I know his name. And he asked me to leave him alone. And that's the only time I've heard from him. Oh, that's wild. I think he once said play stupid games when stupid prizes is what he said a number of times. But listen, we'll save that that chat for the discord, which I am at every single day. I greatly appreciate that. But there were some people that like somebody joked, Oh, when's your Fightful contract up? And I said December, 2029, and people thought I was joking. Like, no, I'm going to fight for until December, 2029. He's our tribal chief until December, 2029. I feel like you might get renegotiated with before that. But how do I join the Fightful crew? You're a part of the Fightful crew. I don't have a hiring right now, but you hang out with us tonight. You're here with us Friday nights. Thank you so much for joining us. Stay tuned to Fightful Select guys. Hop in that discord. Get to talk with real normal people over in the discord and hang out. The Ask SRS channel is so valuable. You've got the backstage reporting Q&A combined to one show now. And you get me and Alex Polowski being insane so much at Fightful Select calm. So thank you, Sean. See you guys. Peace. Well, let's get into this episode. First me, Norva says, I survived the tornado watch celebrating with bacon wrapped scallops, CK trademarking meat mayhem is also giving me hope. How was wrestling tonight? Wrestling was pretty darn good tonight. Always a good night when we get to talk wrestling with you guys. I did not know he trademarked that. I am the happiest little camper that ever was. So that is some good stuff. But before we dive in, Alex, what were your thoughts kind of overall on SmackDown today? It does seem like there's a new shot in the arm after SummerSlam, for sure. Yeah. It felt like they were trying to refresh things a little bit here and there. There was other things that just, you know, we like to question and we like to try to figure out what the hell's happening. We like to see what's going on. Yeah. And we also like to kind of figure out the landscape of things. There's a lot of wrestlers backstage at SmackDown. So I am the one who's always questioning is why aren't we seeing more of those people out on TV? Because even though we got that shot in the arm, it sort of still feels like I'm still seeing a lot of the same faces on television. You know, I understand stories and things and such, but... But like my kingdom versions cannot come more appearance, for example. Ah. I'm with you. Yeah. By the way, big shout out. Shout out to Danny Sizer on the chat coming over. It's all the way from Tel Aviv here, like seven hours ahead. I've just, if I put your last name, please don't punch me in the throat. I love it. It amazes me the time zones that people tune into us. We are so grateful for this. Nearly 6 a.m. over there. So thank you. Appreciate you so much. I also love this. I have the one original beef. Everybody's still touching tips from them. I love... Wait, what? From the MXM collection doing the touch and tips thing, I'm here for it. Oh, I'm sorry. For some... Let's continue going here. That's what they were going for was the devil entendre. But let's dive in to this episode of SmackDown. We get a Cody Road... I'm going to church. Let me get a Cody Road's for a while. Kicking us off before Alex goes to Mass. Okay. Where he doesn't get to say a whole lot before Solosokoa jumps in. It is kind of angling for a rematch. And what I love about this and what is to come is that there is justification for why people are getting title shots. That's all I ask in this world is that I want wins and losses to matter. But we start off with Cody kind of tearing into Solos a little bit again, saying he's cosplay as tribal chief. He's delusional if he thinks he has claim to this rematch. And then he starts to get get circled around like piranhas. We see the numbers game catching up to Cody a little bit here. But who comes out to help him? But Kevin Owens doesn't even up the numbers game because Randy Owens got other stuff to do. But I love what we get here. He comes in with the two steel chairs. That's enough to kind of fight them off a little bit. And right away Cody Road says you've been in my corner this entire time. You are the prize fighter and he offers him a title shot at Bastion Berlin to which Kevin Owens says, no, I haven't earned it. And I love him so much for this. Because he says, look at my win lost record. I haven't won. I haven't earned a title shot. But Cody says, I think you deserve it. He says, the crowd is chanting, you deserve it. But I think they were shitty. You still got it. But far be it from me to argue with that. And later, we see a nice backstage segment with Nick Aldous, who is a very good general manager man. Right. I love him. He's so good. He's so good. Everything he does makes sense. It's all I've ever wanted from authority figures. And he has so much presence. We talk about it week over week. Like what an addition he's been as an authority figure on SmackDown. But they're having this discussion about it. And Nick Aldous comes up after Cody had said in the ring, I'm gonna talk to Nick Aldous about it right now. He goes and does. And he says, I'm actually lining up a title shot for Roman raids to which Kevin Owens says, well, why the heck does he get a title shots? What, the rematch clause that has been instituted around here in literally years, go into the locker room and find anybody else. And they deserve a title shot more. I loved that from Kevin Owens. I love Kevin Owens so much with all my heart. And because of that passionate and inspired kind of monologue that we get there from Kevin Owens, Dick Aldous says, I don't need to get Roman and I don't need to get anybody in the locker room because that's why you deserve it. I prefer things get built on someone's.

Losses, but I love that Kevin Owens said I don't deserve this because I haven't been winning. Sure. She is the best at closing logic gaps. He's the only person that turns from heel to face and is like I'm sorry that I was being an asshole. I love him so much. What did you think of this? Let's start with the opening segment, right? We have a good old white baby face, meet whatever you want to call it. I want to talk about me and touching tips. Cody Rose coming into the ring, it's the faces and the stuff that he does that always annoys me the most, you know, especially when he hears the music play and whatever. Listen, you said it best. Kevin Owens has a way of understanding continuity, right? And he does this very well since the first that he came in to beat the crap out of Cena for that US title. He's always kept that close to the heart and he's continuing to do it here. I love that he drops the win loss record thing because that's something in WWE that we never hear or even take seriously. He is. I love the fact that he gets pissed off when they mentioned Roman because in years past, it's always been like that, right? People go away, they come back and you give them a title shot because I was sitting here going, where's why? Why are we giving Roman a title shot? Dude's been chilling at home. And the last thing I want to say is I've read it in the chat and I agree with all of them. There was a moment when Cody's in the ring and with KO and they're both holding chairs and I freaking see Kevin Owens take two steps back behind Cody. I'm going, oh God, is this where they're going? No way that was not intentional. No way. Obviously, but it was so like, you know, because Kevin Owens, he plays everything so gray down the middle that you never know whether he's going to punch you in the mouth or give you a big bear hug, you know, and I love it. I'm here for that. I am too. And it's also like what we've seen from him before, right? I really do love that kind of stuff. I think maybe the move is that Randy Orton screws up the Kevin Owens and Cody match after losing to Gunther and he is the one to turn heel on both of them and Berlin. Do you think it's going that way or do you see a Kevin Owens flat out heel turn on the rise? Would it be mad about it? Because heel Kevin Owens is like my favorite. Yeah. You know, he's been, he's been a face for so long now that I kind of, you know, he's that one person that you can rely on that if things don't go his way. I mean, look at the way he treated Sammy, you know, when he was feuding with Sammy, like that's crazy, right? His best friend. Why wouldn't he do this to Cody? I don't understand what's happening with Randy and why he's when he showed up a Monday night. That made absolutely no sense to me. I don't know. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think Randy gets involved. I don't know why. I feel like this is a specific thing happening in our Smackdown timeline. It very well could be. It very well could be, but now that I have the scoops, not tonight, of course. No clavicle scoops for y'all. Whoa, just a clav. There it is. Just the clav.com, baby. That's what we were looking for. Onlyclavs.com, but Taylor Cannon, who is just the best of us, says hello, my favorite post show. And I'm not even saying he's the best of us just because he says we're the favorite post show. Okay. Taylor's the best. Always great to see both Kate and Alex. Also, Roman Reigns has returned. All is well. Man, I never thought I'd be so excited to see this guy return to the show and I am thrilled about it. And you know what else I'm thrilled about, Alex? Oh, tell me. I am thrilled about the fact that we had multiple contentorship matches lined up for the show tonight after getting a new slate of champions. That's what we should be doing. Like, that's a good thing. And we move into this top contender tournament match here from the street profits who defeat a town down Nanda. This is the way I would have assumed this was going to go because a town down under seems like they are on the brink of extinction, right? We've seen so much dissension between the two of them. Montes Ford continues to be an athletic freak. I'm so glad that they seem to be wanting to make them a tag team again, probably on the baby face side as they should be. Dawkins hits theory with the doomsday blockbuster for the pin in this, but gosh, I was so excited to see the street profits being taken seriously. I don't mean a character, but backstage again with Bobby Lashley exiting. It's like, let's get these guys on track because Montes Ford is one of the most complete package wrestlers that there is. Angelo Dawkins is great and one of the most improved wrestlers that we've ever seen. I feel like on the main roster, the way he continues to evolve is is really wonderful. And I want them to be looking strong and they did tonight. I was glad about that. This was a perfectly serviceable match. Yes. I, I, Grayson Waller is really good in the ring. I don't think and I know there's people who differ with me on this and I welcome your dissenting opinions, but I am right now. I don't think I don't think this Grayson Waller turn is going to make Austin theory the baby face that they want it to be. I just, I don't, I don't think he reads as a face. I think he needs a manager because I'm always amazed by his in-ring work, but he is just not connected with the crowd at all during his title reign when he was US champion. And I don't think this has done a lot of favors for him. Grayson Waller has a very high ceiling and I hope they, they do tap into that, but what did you think about this contentorship match that we got? I, so this is one of the things that bothered me. We're continuing to put a 10 down on their on television knowing that, you know, if their demise is coming. I mean, I believe I've been the one that has been extremely vocal about, yeah, about the, the, these two and breaking them up. I mean, from the beginning, I'm like, I don't know, it just feels like they, they haven't really clicked. I feel like one is, is kind of holding the other back a little bit, not in a bad, like nasty way, but just kind of like, I'm not feeling their synergy. You know, us here in the corporate world, we use synergy. Of course. And synergy there is not working. What can you say about, you know, the street profits, except that we've been waiting for them to just kind of be taken more seriously. They've been off TV, on TV, off TV, on TV, like, let's just, let's just, you know, the tag team division in both companies have not been very hot as of late. So let's come on. Let's rebuild this, please. Like, I need, I need the street profits to be the original street profit. OTPs. The OTPs. OSPs. Yeah, something there. Let's just have fun with those guys. They rule, but my cousin Michael says we had to deal with the worst wrestler in WWE, Montez is a chump, only one dude, his partner and opponent's personal issue. What is the beef with with Montez? First of all, it's definitely has nothing to do with the fact that my cousin just has a huge crush on beyond. Oh, okay, just make it true. I like Montez. He's a, he's a former Marine, like myself, you know, like we have a lot, you know, of similarities, you know. My cousin had this whole plan that he was going to steal Bianca and you were going to get Jade. He had this all like planned in his head. Oh, I, I do, I do believe that that could still happen, by the way, shoot your shot tag team. You guys are going to go after these gals and get a workout. So we're going to talk about her on the show as well, but feel free to show my cousin some love because I kind of feel like that might not work out the way he sees it go. Like, it'll work. Like I got your back. I love it. I love the, the superpowers here just trying to shoot their shot and it obviously is going to trick out, turn it perfectly, perfectly fine, but continue to get in those super chats, continue to get in those humper chats as we continue along with this episode. We got a quick summer slam video package, not a ton to say with this, but any, any thoughts on the look back here? No, wait, sorry. Hold on. You kind of broke up on my end. What did you say? Oh, sorry. Just we got a quick summer slam package. Oh, okay. There you go. Yeah. Sorry. That was like a blip in, in the matrix. I'm still getting still dealing with storms down here. No, I mean, overall, I said this on, on Twitter and I think people kind of take a seriously. I was like, Oh my God. I, I didn't know that Roman Reigns came back. No way. I felt kind of bad because I was just like, it's a work I kid. You were being silly. We're very silly. But no, other than that, like they, they like to do this a lot, you know, the filler stuff. Like we understand, like we watched everyone watched it. It was the most record-breaking, insane, best party of the summer. You know, like every, I enjoyed it. We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't have to repeat it. This is what I'm trying to say. Tell me. Because there were like five matches that had shoulder into the ring post spots. I've decided that we're calling it shoulder slam. So this, this video package is wrong. It's the biggest party of the shoulder, quite frankly. Wow. And you know what comes up through the shoulder. Clavicle, the plow. You know, I'm going to bring up this check because this was something that Alex Pulowski booked a while back that I loved this idea. Now, I, I feel like there's a ton of value in the street profits as a tag team. If they want to make them tag champions and push them as tag champs, that works for me. But a while ago, we were talking about how Alex Pulaski and I were talking about how there's so many devices for titles now of King of the Ring, you got a shot at summer slab, you have money in the bank, you have rumble, like there's a lot of devices around here. And how cool it would be if in Royal Rumble, they made a star instead of using it to advance what we know are going to be title stories anyway. So his thought was, what if Montez Ford won the Royal Rumble? He was like, and Cashden and lost or like lost at summer slam. But like that guy that you're like, Oh, sick. He made it to the final four. What a great showing for Montez Ford. And then he just wins it kind of like what everybody really wanted with Roman years ago. He was like, what if they just did that? Because it's not that he's not the complete package, right? What if they just did that? And he, he lost that mania, but that's okay. Because titles change on different pay per views. Now that's something that's been very refreshing about the new era. Like, what if they just did? And I thought that was, I was like, man, that would be so much fun because Royal Rumble doesn't really get used as a star maker that much of recent. I feel like the last time they put it on someone really unexpected was Alberto Del Rio. And that that worked for what they wanted. There were obviously issues there, but they made him a top contender with it. But like Montez Ford as an out of nowhere guy that wins. And gets his, gets a shot and maybe loses. And then whoever it was against, whether it's like Cody or whatever, is that summer slam, like, man, that would be really fun. That would be really fun. I like it. Guys, get in your super chest and your humper jets, leave a thumbs up on this video. There's so many more of you watching now that were at the very beginning of the show. Yeah. But what were you going to say, Alex? I cut you off there. You always cut me off, but it's okay because I enjoy getting cut. I mean, whoa, wild, wrong YouTube channel. I was going to say is in the past, we've seen a lot of old tech teams break up. We see them going solo careers. We saw with the heart foundation, you know, we've seen it with with multiple, like with the new age outlaws, so on and so on and so on. I believe that having Montez go solo would be the most incredible thing to happen because that man, I want to see what he can do on his own. Yeah. And I think that he is the one holding that team together, right? Like, I think that if you were, unfortunately, if you were to kind of split them up, you know, he, his star would shine and then, you know, you know, what would happen, unfortunately. Yeah, Angelo would, unfortunately, probably kick like around the mid card, but it's not like he's not good. Like he's really good. And I feel like him kicking around the mid card isn't the worst thing in the world. Like, I think there's some really fun stuff that could happen for Angelo Dawkins, even if maybe his ceiling isn't as high as Montez Ford's. Montez Ford has the highest ceiling in the world if you've seen his frog splash. I mean, goodness. I mean, I've never seen it live. I lied. I did see it live. It's insane. I saw it in Brooklyn. I was like, wow. He does it better. I'm going to say it. He does it better than I do. Oh, wait a second. I know he's the godfather of it. I was about to get up and drop pick this mic, but I'm glad you said that because, you know what, I'll wait until we get to that specific match. So let's just continue. Okay. Okay. I get, I get, I get, I'll tell you what, I'm passionate. That's if your ceiling isn't very high, if it's sagging a little bit. Oh, God, she's looking at me.

If there was like a bluechoo segway Olympics, I would be so robust. Like, I would just have all the gold medals around. I want to be your like manager and just be like, Yay. Go, Kate. You could be my hype man. I'm fine with that. I'll hype you up. Let's go. Bluechoo it. Guys, get in those super chats. If there's anything you want to talk about, we will also remind you to subscribe to Fightful Select. If you're wondering why Sean told you at the beginning of the show for like 20 minutes, so you can see what we have coming up. There is so much contract news. Like, I know Sean said he's got contract news basically every day this week. It doesn't stop. Like, if you're like, Oh, it comes down in the fault. No. No, like it's continuing till the end of the year. So both companies are in contract cycles. It's a very, very interesting time. So we're getting close to all in and all out that we're working towards survivor series. We're going to be in the Bur months. Alex and I are going to be drinking pumpkin spice everything. It's a good time to be a wrestling fan, but best $5 in the business gets you that discord that we were talking about. It gets me and Alex Pulowski doing pay-per-view post shows behind the paywall. Say that 10 times as fast, but so much happening at Fightful Select and most importantly, it's how we get paid. So there you go. Peace is saying Jade versus Alba 203. I thought speed was for Twitter. Yeah, we're going to talk about that in a second, but let's talk about some more women segments that we got on the show tonight. We had this Tiffany segment, which was kind of fun. We have her setting up Nia's championship celebration and saying everything needs to be pink. All of these things pointing out to the production assistant. What is wrong? And she gets interrupted by Chelsea Green and Piper. And what was a very fun segment? Like these big personalities interacting are so great. And Chelsea Green just continues to be so, so valuable. They play off their money in the bank history a little bit. I love Tiffany saying, why don't you just go get thrown off a ladder again? But this was this was really, really good stuff. And Piper Niven being like, nah, it doesn't even like pink. And if you were really her friend, yes, she would have known that she also runs into pretty deadly backstage with pop to be tremendously. And I know pop do tremendously because they are the best. And they're saying like, Hey, can we help get the set up? Oh, we should cast you in our pretty deadly musical, which is so great. They ask about her vocal range says they're looking for Sabrina Carpenter combined with someone else. I forget that it's so entertaining. But this is this is good. I'm glad we're continuing to put Tiffany in feuds where she can stay hot. Like I think Tiffany versus Chelsea would be good. Tiffany versus Piper would be good on her way to probably eventually cash in on Naya. So we will see what happens there. I'm assuming we're leading toward Naya and Piper. But this was a whole bunch of fun. And I love when we get to see Chelsea green doing what she does best on screen. It makes me very happy. So your thoughts on the segment that we got here? I, you know, she is, she's in an incredible talent. And not only in the ring when you see her physically in there, but gosh, like she's just all around so damn good. That backstage segment, she's just like flowing man, like natural, like she's having a real conversation with someone there. And yeah, ridiculous person, but you've met ridiculous people. Yes, exactly. So outside of that, there's really nothing more to say than that. She's just, she continues to show off why she will be a future world champion in the company. Yeah, I think she has assimilated very well to the main roster. And I'm glad she's shining because she deserves it. She's, she's doing very good work. So, but we move on to this quick recap of what kind of went down with Jade and Bianca and Alba Fire. And you're the love of your life. I love Don. And we get a very quick match here that Jade wins. And I feel like they are stuck a little bit with Jade. She hits the jaded for the win. She dominates the crap out of Alba Fire. And the issue to me is Alba Fire should not look like this much of a chump when she's this vulnerable of a tag team champion. They never get to defend. They had no TV time, much less wins going into the PLE where they won the belts. They had a really great defense on NXT because they can go. But I think there are still certain limitations with Jade where what she is able to execute, she looks great at, but she can't really expand yet into longer singles matches or if not, they just are pushing her like Goldberg, which God bless him if that's the case. But like even the octopus stretch that Jade just powered free from into a gut-red suplex. Like I just, she's a champion and she's incredible and she's the most successful women's NXT champion from the UK division of all time. And it, it really bums me out. It really bums me out that this tag title, right? Is this is, this is what we're doing with it. Like I just want the women's tag titles to feel important once. And every time they do stuff like this, I'm like, I get why Mercedes and Naomi left. Because they're just, they're not, they're not treated as anything other than props to make single stars. And that's just not the way it should go. Now, the trio stuff is certainly very interesting, right? We get Blair Davenport coming backstage. This British Isles faction is, is something that could be really cool, but they had her lose and she's barely been on the show. So how am I supposed to take them seriously? I love Naomi showing up here though. I love her natural hair whenever she, she wears it. It just looks so awesome. It feels like it fits her personality so much. But I don't know. It's if you're trying to make your tag champions look good, this ain't how you do it. And I kind of bummed me out, kind of bummed me out to be honest. But what were your thoughts? We talk about this weekend and week out. Why do you have your champions lose? What is, here we go, quote unquote, what is the story? What are we doing? Will it be finished? Yeah, like, I, I, I don't get it. Why are you booking my beautiful eye on to freaking lose, you know, and, and, and just like, like, and, yeah, I'll go fire. Sorry. Both of them. You're a lot of them. It's fine. Yeah, to, to lose and just like kind of like, I understand that, that Jade and Bianca are a big deal. And I understand as well that they are a powerful team, like they should be running shot through everyone. But I don't think like this is the right, I think that they needed to kind of just like, what, what we've seen with the men, you have these incredible tag team matches with, you know, building yourself up to, to the championship belts, right? There's definitely enough women in the, in the division to do this with. And I think that's what we're looking for. Am I wrong by that? Like, give me, give me a tag team tournament for the women. Give me everything that you have put inside of the men's for all these, all these tag team tournaments and everything. Like, give me that fire for the, for the women. Agreed entirely. And NXT used to have the, the dusty. They've merged the women's tag team belts. If you don't have space for it on SmackDown, send them on an NXT program. Yeah. Do something. Do something. Because to your point, hey, did you know Jade was strong? Yeah, I knew that before this match. All you've done here is make your champion look weak for no, for no real reason. So that is a bummer. But we'll say, I know pretty deadly, the musical would be a bust, I think. But I want it to happen so bad. I wanted to happen so bad, too. I would be the first to line for tickets. I would be a ticket master pre-sale so fast. It's going to happen. You're going to, let's go to Florida and go check it out. I think that's where we're doing it. Here's my issue. Kaylee Ray was an NXT UK champion for 683 days and loses in two minutes. Come on, man. I know like they don't continue stuff over from UK. But like, but you don't have to go this far out of your way to make your own, to make your main roster titles look unimportant. My goodness, but they just feel like that. I'm sorry. Like, I, I, and then, like they said, the two minutes. Right. Two minutes. Man, come on. It's a two hour show. Figure it out. If we would have taken that summer slam recap out of the show, you know, you could have probably given the, these women way more time to tell something like, and the only women's match on the card, I think, too, right? And, you know, like, you gotta, you gotta, like, I understand like they're giving the, they're supposed to be these big, tough women that take people out immediately. But you're going after the wrong ones. You never touch my tag team. We got a security guard in the house for them now, but a chat to get Alexis that sweet, sweet gammon and Wolverine statue promised I do it. I'm a person of my word. Oh, and she is going to eat Stokely. So I found out about this angle a little bit ago, and I am very excited. It looks like they are setting up a mixed tag with Willow and Ishii versus Chris Tettlander and Stokely. I think Chris is, uh, is it a guana? Gecko? Whatever she is? Boots? Remember she has the lizard, right? Yes. I think it should be a trio's match and they should get to choose like the reptile of their choice. Oh boy. Boots is in the match and then Willow gets, Willow, like, would have a unicorn though. Like that's what she just would. Hey, just one. Thank you, Tom. I appreciate that. If you guys are not following me on threads, make sure you do. If you're not on threads, make sure you get on there. Let me tell you about that. Okay. Wait, wait, no, no, let me finish this before. I'm not like attacking anyone or saying anything towards anyone. But if you are on threads, follow me. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see it on my profile. I'll say thread. You click on it and you follow me. I posted a picture which has gone viral of Wolverine and Gambit from the X-Men 97 show, and I said that I will not, uh, be financially recovering from this. You will commit financial crimes. You will commit sin. And people are now sending me super chats because of it. I love that. I appreciate you. I'll tell you what, I am locked out of X for the silliest reasons of all time. I shouldn't be happy for that. And I am thrilled. Um, I am thrilled about it. And after months of Alexis telling me that I should join threads, I finally did. I picked up an extra 350 followers barely trying in the past 24 hours, not a single one of them a weirdo, not a single. I haven't had to block or report anybody ever. I blocked one person promoting an oldie fans or whatever, I think. What can I say? Except you're welcome. There's my tribal chief head of the table. My goodness. I can't get over it, but the friendliest environment you could ever have is the fight. It is. I'm just saying. But we move along with this episode of Smackdown. Keep those chats coming with her. They're about Wolverine and what's the other one? Deple? Deple and Wolverine? Yes. I know nothing of this world. Well, I have friends that tell me about like Marvel or DC or Star Wars or like World that I'm not at. I'm like, I'm gonna suck you into it, Kate. You are now friends with me, and I'm bringing you into this world. I mean, I'm on threads now, so it'll probably be months of me being like, I'll get into it and then actually getting into it and loving it. But my thing is, I always used to be like, ah, no, I'm, I'm not a nerd. I'm really cool. That's what I always tell people as if I don't talk about wrestling. Like, I'm a hot chick like nerd stuff. As if I don't talk about professional wrestling every night of the week, but we have tiny underwear, but you can't talk about superheroes. Just crying, emoting, impeding each other up. We have a good time. Oh, man. Good time. Well, saying, Kate, you have, you watching UW, we don't like the UK. I love, listen, my British wrestlers, CSJ and Osprey are like my two favorites in the world. So I'm not mad at the UK for giving me those two. I love them. Goonther is not from like England, but you know what I mean. But we've got some some good European representation happening in the world of wrestling right now. But we move along to the Giovanni vignette, which Sean talked about at the beginning of the show. Glad to see him being a presence on the show again. I hate that we never got any sort of blow off with Imperium. They just got drafted to different brands. Like, yeah, Goonther's title rate would be made so much more interesting if he was over there who would make Kaiser's back. I feel as though Giovanni vignette hasn't really gotten to showcase what he could do on the main roster. If you watched him in NXT, you are very aware that he is like the workhorse of what that tag team was. He's unbelievable. He is one of the best.

Springboard, you'll ever see. He's so incredible off the ropes. It felt like in NXT, Ludwig was more of the, like, kind of like the Matt Jackson and Giovanni Vinci was the Nick Jackson and that he was, like, Ludwig Kaiser was selling in a motive and telling story very heavily and then you had, like, an athletic phenom on the other side, different stylistically, but that kind of balance. Giovanni Vinci, also a cool promo, can do a lot of really cool stuff, but I think you're going to be blown away by what he can do with the ring if they let him do what he's able to do. Take the chains off. Take the chains off this guy. Let them go. Let the boys play, let them work. Let them do their thing. Are you feeling your journey, Vinci, outside of being, like, in the Imperium Act on the main roster? Pretty much that's about it from what I've seen. I thought he was being played as a Trump the entire time. So when I saw this, when I saw this promo, it really, like, made me happy to see, you know, first of all, I was like, okay, they're going to let him go full with Daliano here, right? Let's go. They let him do that for a few weeks in NXT and then called him up, so I'm not totally surprised to see this presentation come back, but yeah, I'm excited to see what they're going to do with him. It seems like, again, with this certain regime, you know, they have certain people that they kind of let them be them, right, and use that as part of the game, which is something we saw, and I know you didn't grow up with this, but it's something that I saw in the attitude era. It was a, it was a piece of you turned up to the own degree, right? So this is kind of like the same thing. They're letting a lot of these workers and wrestlers kind of bring that piece of themselves and they're just giving it that extra, you know, production love behind it. Absolutely. Absolutely. They are. It's nice to see Giovanni Vinci's great. It's a little weird that we were getting like classist version of Goonther while this is getting rolled out, but I'm kind of hoping that we abandon that because that was not like the best, but we get LA Knight doing what he does best in this, but before we do meet Normus. So here's another small sack of money for bangs and collarbones. Also, my oils are still in first place. Meet forever. Sometimes veggies. Not for long, my friend. Thank you. We know that the Orioles always, always fall apart at the end of the year, every year. I mean, they were falling apart for entire seasons in a row there for a while. Yeah, I came to the arts as like the most beautiful park. It is beautiful. And they sell some great pool pork sandwiches. So they went back in my meaty days. Meet Normus. Whoa, I'm sure if you that's right, you're a vegetarian. Wait, vegan? Yeah. Vegetarian vegan. Yeah. No, no meat, no dairy, but uh what I did eat meat and I went to camp in the arts, Boobs barbecue pit. So cool. Stop it. He was just hanging out there. It was the best off that place rules. Now you could have pulled cauliflower with some barbecue sauce. See, I can't do, I can't pretend it just makes me miss it more. But we have LA nice US title celebration here. Some some good stuff. LA night just talk about well-deserved. Sean broke the news on fightpostallike.com best $5 in the business that LA night has resigned. Seems like a no-brainer, but it's affected some of these title pictures. I'm glad they got this done six months in advance, but I think that was part of some of the weirdness withdrew was before he resigned. We've seen what happens when things wait too late. It really affects the creative, but sure. LA night getting this huge pop well-deserved says that summer slam has come and gone. And he says was it a question about how sweet it was to beat Logan Paul in his hometown. And he said more than Logan Paul deserved to get stomped out. Yeah, the only thing that night cares about is making good on telling everyone to call him whatever they want as long as that includes champion, which is some good kind of more up-the-middle baby face stuff from LA night. We get so much of the throwback attitude era throwing jabs saying Logan Paul's head is so empty. They could put up a spirit Halloween in it stuff that it was really, really nice to have like some some more emotive stuff from him. But Santos Escobar interrupts, which I love to see, and he wants to congratulate him and says it's not every day a guy like LA night gets to taste gold. And that he's just not like championship material is what he kind of implies and that he's going to fade into being an opening act once Santos Escobar beats him for that title. With everybody saying Escobar C which I love from him. Night couldn't hear any of that over the crowd, but he does tell Escobar that he sucks and he's going to beat the brakes off of him. And he says that he's beat him a million times before and he'll beat him a million times again. And then Andrade heads to the ring because this is going to be a contendership bash. Now, I really love that LA night is the champion and I love that we have a US champion that is present. I love Santos Escobar. He's not going to win, but I think it's a really good first defense. I hope it does something for him and moves it in the right direction. I like that they set this up, but my thing is what the hell aren't we doing with Carmelo Hayes? That guy lost twice. I thought that was going to be fodder for LA night to pick up their history where it left off and be like you've been doing nothing but losing. I'll kick your ass again. Who cares? Whatever. Yeah. Let me talk to you. I thought we were going to get one of those, but first round draft big Carmelo Hayes hasn't gotten shit since he's come to the top of the roster. So now what I mean by that is he hasn't been given a real story or few desync his teeth into. He has had some incredible matches and some against very marquee talents, but two losses in a row to Andrade where he showed out doesn't really do a lot for him. Get this guy in a story. He's an incredible heel promo. He's incredible. He's really good face promo, but he's an incredible heel promo. He's fantastic in the ring. He's cool as hell. I don't I don't like it unless this is going to turn into a triple threat like wire, which is what I was thinking. Yeah. And it could I mean, both of them need to be protected, I guess. So I don't know what you do there, but let's talk about what we got out of the segment first, and then you can let me know what you think about Carmelo Hayes. But what'd you think of the promos that we got here? That's well done, man. I think that, uh, you know, anything LA nice says people are going to buy. I mean, anything he can say, I just punted a child in the parking lot and everyone will scream right after. Yeah, you know, like people are not going to be for not going to like boo him. Um, they they sure booed the hell out of Santos, which is what you want to see, right? Because the last thing you want to do as a heel is come out and the fans be flat sitting on their hands. And he was getting nuclear heat, um, against Santos against, uh, LA night, uh, Santos was. So it's it's kind of good to see that. I'm extremely happy, even though, you know, LA night's thinking they'd be going anywhere, you know, this title's not going to go anywhere anytime soon. Um, it's still nice to see that he's getting that that hate. Agreed, agreed. I think, uh, I think the fact that he's getting that heat when there hasn't been really strong programming around him is a very good side is a very, and people are so much behind LA night that anyone who decides to come out and go up against their, their hero, they're going to boo the crap out. And cheap plug, by the way, make sure you go down the lucha libre behind the mask. Yeah, let's let's not cheap plug. Let's proper plug that because it's a really cool project and I want you to tell people about it. It's right there. Look, you see it guys? Uh, you can't see it, but anyway, there we go. Yeah. Oh, no, no, just kidding. Uh, yeah. So it's called lucha libre behind the mass is the history of the lucha of lucha libre down in Mexico and is narrated by my friend Santos Escobar. Um, I was able to, um, get him to, uh, narrate this amazing podcast. So, and it's both in English and Spanish. That's so, and he's, and he narrates it in both languages. So, um, again, it's called behind the mass, uh, uh, lucha libre, uh, history, basically. But yeah, go go check it out if you guys, and then tell me, you know, hit me up on the, uh, old Twitter machine or on threads and tell me what you think about it. Guys, we are coming down the home stretch, but before we do, we're going to bring on Alex for the sour fower. Ironically, he is popping in at the part of the show, where we're going to talk about Escobar at Andrade. So sorry, but that match ruled. That was a really good match. Uh, but, but hit us with the, with the sads. What did, what did you think was the worst of tonight show? Well, it turns out, Kate, that they, they had been trying to make Roman Reigns to the top baby face in the company for years, years. And it just never really quite clicked. They, some people were like, no matter what they did, there was either a huge backlash or just like kind of mixed reviews. It turns out the thing that they had to do to make him into the top baby face was to give him a four year title reign is a monster heel. Uh, and, uh, then to make sure that he won all of his title defenses, uh, by having his cousin's cheat for him. Boom, instant baby face. Honestly, I'm surprised Vince McMahon didn't try this earlier. It was so obvious. Okay, but did you consider he could say suffer and suck a tash and that was not enough. See, that was not part of the, that's not all that happened. His entire jerk head cousins and family formed a whole other thing, but right. But anyway, uh, it's like a whole other deal. Yeah, it's a whole other deal. Uh, am I, am I happy, Fakie and Eichner is coming back to wrestle? Yes. He's fakey and Eichner. He's not Fabian Eichner anymore. He's Fakie and Eichner. I just wish that he was that and not Giovanni Vinci. For those of you too young to remember, a few years ago, they just had him abandoned Imperium for no reason, sort of running vignettes about a guy who likes wine and fast red cars a lot. And also coffee and also he wore a belt buckle that said V. Um, and, and so that was that was the next day that was wild. They have fun. And we have to like live with it. So, um, that was the gimmick and he was great. The matches he had were great, but also the gimmick stunk. So now they're like, okay, you brought him up, put him back with Imperium, then he got jumped out of the gang. And then he was gone for a couple of months. And now they're like, what if we just did the same, absolutely terrible gimmick? We did with him an NXT, um, do that on the main roster. And we won't know if it's going to be good or not, but as long as I see Fakie and Eichner wrestling matches, I'm going to, I'm going to be happy about it. Me too. Me too. Very excited that he's coming back. I'm intrigued to see how like, if he finds a new tag partner or if he's just in the mid card, like him versus LA Knight, sign me up for it, right? Like, that could be, that could be very fun. Um, uh, also, um, I mean, I'm, I'm sure you guys discussed this, but Cody Rhodes is a terrible friend. I mean, uh, he, he, listen, you must respect your friend's wishes. Put some respect on my friends. Listen, he, uh, you offered the title match KO politely declined. He said the thing is KO. He can't say why he really doesn't want to do the match because he's, he's finally reached a place where he's good with being a good guy. And he likes being that and he doesn't want to go back to being a bad guy. And when he says, no, I don't want to face you for your title. What he's saying is, if I face you for your title, I'm going to slip back into that dark place. I don't want to go there. And he can't say it out loud. But if Cody was a good friend, he should just know that's what Kevin's trying to tell him. But no, I got to be altruistic Cody Rhodes and force you into taking the title match that you told me you don't want. So, but it's your sneakiest trick yet was you were like, I'm going to provide a bunch of creative insight and value, but I'm going to mask it. And in my sourflower range, when it's going to be such a good story. And I want to see Kevin Owens go to the dark side, but go ahead. I feel bad for him because he only wants to do is just be a good dad. And then everyone's like, you know, hey, poking you with stuff until you start powerbombing dudes on ring aprons. Pretty much. How much of this good dad crap do I have to take? Honestly, God, between Barty Danielson and Kevin Owens. All I'm saying is relatable for me, the good dad stuff, but is that for you or just me? Just you know, just he's moving and grooving on my end. We're having a conversation over here. I don't know about you. But yeah, double A is locked and loaded, baby. Why am I getting a pinwheel of death for him? This is so I have no idea, but I'm fine. But yes, you're you're the only one who's wrong. But yeah, I'm just gonna be quiet. And you just pointed me where Alex is done. All right, good. Last thing, I feel like we should probably get some more minutes for the ladies. Oh, she's gone. Now she's completely gone. Now she now she's here. Anyway, so, so that's that Santos and and Andrade match was on the rally. Yeah, look at them. Good. Like, listen, listen, I know that the trope is the Mexicans can only fight other Mexicans. But if it's these two Mexicans, they can fight each other forever. That was great. I'll tell you, the good thing is that they're letting them do what they got to do in the ring and tell the story in the ring. They're not being pigeonholed to armbar drag, you know, drag down, take down all this stuff. No, they're literally in there. I mean, Jesus, that move that Santos did to to Andrade off the corner. All right, what's it called? The it looked like a backwards Hercorana. Yeah, points around. There we go. Oh, my. And he landed it so perfect. Perfect. Wonderful. Oh, it's best. Hey, you know, it was awesome. When they when they had when they had a guy come in and interfere twice. And then the match ended with a roll up with the Tights. Oh, that part was my favorite. Oh, wait, the opposite. Everything up until then was perfect. And then they did the ending. So that's my fourth, my father. There was a lot of run-ins tonight for a for a two hour Smackdown. It felt like everyone just wanted to say, Hey, I want to be on TV to let me run in and do some. I did. I didn't say this. I said, we should get more minutes for the ladies than Kate just left. Yeah. You got the you got WWE. I'm sorry. I protest. We should be back in the kitchen at all times. Yeah. That's right. All right. Sounds like, uh, you know what? We're going to keep bags. Plasky around because we are almost done. And then it's my internet cuts out again. Yeah. You'll be here to drive us home, but you can only be medium sour because you already got the four out of the way. I did. I'm fine. But I loved this match. It was so much fun. I we've talked extensively about like, can Hispanics fight people that are not Hispanic on the show. But like these two, I want to see fight each other regardless, right? Like, this doesn't feel like it's faction versus faction or any of that nonsense. Just kick ass wrestler who's Hispanic versus kick ass wrestler who's Hispanic. And I want that on my screen all day. So we figured out what we should do with Penta and Phoenix when they show up. Okay. Would that be? Well, since LWA isn't using Dragon Lee right now, why don't you put him with those two guys? And that's the three mask dudes. Also, Dragon Lee kind of pissed. Like he never really got any real revenge on Carlito for attacking him. Like he had the match, but then Carlito won. We haven't seen him since. Maybe he's going down a little darker path. Also, here's the other thing. Like, I got a hand gesture for him. You call them the is what you call them. Sarah, Miedo, trace, mascaras. Okay, a lot of that's a long name, but I'll take it. Yeah, I mean, yeah, CMTM, CMTM, CMTM, everybody here is down with OTC. Yeah, you know me. Yeah, you know me. And we can say we can also be down with CMTM. I was going to say CMTK. It's like my dream faction. Or war war war. Just put them all three together and just call them like, I don't know, death triangle or something. Yeah, that's good. Well, let's, let's not do that. It'll make me sad. This is what happens when we get double Alex is if you come sorry, you've been double lead darn kids. It becomes an Anderson. It becomes an a party. And those those are always fun. My goodness. Well, we move along to our tag team match. Love that we are building up here. We saw street profits win earlier. We see di when diy coming back for those tag titles, we get impassioned Johnny Gargano promo, but they ultimately get the win here with the shatter machine and the meet me in the middle. I love that they just use the shatter machine now. When they first started using it, Dax had just tweeted out a picture of their one of the most iconic matches in history. And I love that they've just adopted it because they won't do it really well. And two, it just feels like such a nod to what was one of the best matches I've ever seen. So I'll take that. But this was really good. Very fun to see pretty deadly in action. It's so nice to see them in the ring because I am going to be first in line to get tickets to their musical. But they are great. They're a really good team. I thought the chemistry here was fun. So not mad about that at all. DIY winning is good. They should be pissed about their loss. But we'll see what is next for them. I like that they're at least being kept strong. We've seen way too often teams lose and get thrown back down to the bottom of the card immediately. This is this is all right. I'll take this. Any thoughts to the fellows? We'll start with Pulaski first since he ended up being our special guest referee. Can I tell you the terrible thing that I think is going to happen? Oh, no. I've like, don't be too sour. We got it out of our system. I'm not being sour. This is me being sad, not sour. I think they lose to the street profits. And I think that causes a breakup. I think I think I do. Wow. Really? I think the street profits win and get the get the title shot. And then they break up DIY because they hate us. So, you know, they're always fighting each other though. And you know what? It's oh my god. It's crazy that you said that because I was thinking about that when they were coming down to, you know, the middle there, whatever you want, the entryway, I was thinking to myself, God, it's been a while since these two haven't fought each other. Like literally off the top of my head. It's been a while since Triple H decided to throw up the copyright logo and then frigging champa turns around and destroys, you know, a teammate like, and we do that again. I don't want I don't want that to happen. I just I'm worried. I'm worried. I'm concerned. Oh, by the way, I remember the thing I want to say earlier really quickly, just take two seconds. They're in the Mexicans fighting because, you know, they have to be Latinos in Mexican. You know, they had to make a freaking, oh, oh, Corey Graves, oh, guess where I'm going with this? Guess who whose name he's threw into the ring. And Guerrero. Oh, my freaking god. I was like, can you just go in a in a in a match with Latinos without mentioning? No, no, no, no, no, man, he's up in heaven, saying shut up, up already, suffering in my name. I'm done. We understand my legacy. Now move on is what I'm saying. I'm sorry. I apologize. I'm sorry. You're allowed. I'm passionate, but what happened? I have no idea what happened. That was weird. It's true. It is up here saying shut up. Keep my name at your mask or a grave. And he was just over here with like, I don't know why they keep bringing me up. I haven't wrestled in a long time. I've been dead for 20 years. And they were like, just stop mentioning me. That's what he said. Anyway, I got to go by. That was Dusty Rhodes who had occasionally pipes into us from wrestling heaven. But I could see that happening with DIY Alex. I'm just going to no sell it. But I will say they are not doing anything as a tag team. So if they're going to actually use them using them as singles wrestlers and not to put Tamaso Champa in an angry angle with the Miz because he didn't text him, I would be in for that because they are two of the most versatile wrestlers in the world. And if you want to talk about versatility, Nord VPN, there is no product that we have promoted more on Fightful that I use while I'm awake, the Nord VPN dot com slash Fightful.

It is one of the strongest promotions that we ever have going on. So I got a four year subscription. That was insane. Let's just leave it at that. I was like, wow. And I barely spend money on anything unless it's action figures. The important stuff. The important stuff. Guys, we're coming down the home stretch here. Get in those super chats. If there's anything else that you want to talk about, but this is the big one here. Roman Reigns coming back to the program. So the Co is at gorilla with the Tongans. Thomas says Roman's not there. And solo says he'll be there and then walks to the ring. Tonga Loa is holding the second tag team belt. It does seem like Jacob Fatu is out of action. I know there's a lot of ambiguity around it. Fightful select confirmed. I want to be extremely clear on this that there was a planned spot for Jacob Fatu to sell an injury. It may be the case that he was also for real Z's injured. That is not confirmed accurately by anybody who knows what they're talking about. So that is what the deal Z's is and murdered Alex Pulaski. So but after the break, solo has a microphone and is in gorilla. And he wants to also to acknowledge him. My goodness, the we want Roman chances crowd was so excited for this segment. And if Roman wants to call himself that he'll need the willa falla back. I think I'm pronouncing that right. I'm sorry if not, but we get the remix of Roman's theme that Sean referenced at the beginning of the show. And he is here and immediately lays out Tomatanga. And then also Tango Loa, who is there as well. And we get this really, really great backstage brawl solo taking off his jacket, which is so great. And the crowd is just so behind Roman. They brawl like crazy. There's a Superman punch in here. He wants the spear, but Tango Loa remembers his spot and pulls solo out of the ring. But the willa falla is still in the ring. And Roman picks it up. Tama and Loa attack Roman from behind. Tama hands the willa falla back to solo. And solo gets the hell out of there is Roman is making his own comeback. On Loa and Tama with several super ramp lunches here. Solo keeps running and cuts Tango Loa in half with that spear. That was nasty, nasty, nasty looking. OTC chants are ringing out. Tama goes through a barricade. Roman is just flat out pissed. He's got a chair and he proceeds to put it on Loa in the ring as solo is holding the willa falla on the entrance stage. But solo watches as Roman just commits more murder toward Tango Loa. Not the guy to get heat against as the crowd does not really care about that. But man, like the self righteous anger of Roman was so, so, so well received in the sorry for the extensive rundown. I just this was what everybody wanted to talk about. So I was trying to get the order of events right here. Go watch it. This is where those segments you just have to go watch I feel like. But this is fun as hell. I did not think there would be a day where I was like salivating for Roman to be back. But I kind of am like I want this shot of life into the product. I feel like Cody's reign has been like not well executed for him. Like I just wasn't AJ Styles wasn't gonna win and the second match was not good. Logan Paul was never gonna win and that match wasn't good. So we knew probably wasn't gonna win because we knew Roman was coming back. So like let's get some meat on the bone here. And I think it'll let Cody kind of be separate from things for a while and we back in what he needs to. So I really thought we were gonna get like a very long drawn out promo from Roman. Hey, I'm just coming in wanting to beat people up. Not bad. Not bad to close the show. But Pulaski will start with you and then and then move to Cardozo. What did you think? I mean, yes, you're correct. And the not the best guy. But like he could have speared a cardboard box and people would have still gone crazy. But even the other way, like he'd be like spirit of fluffy, funny rap that people would have still done great. Like they love they love they love Roman more than they ever even contemplate him. And I joke about the four year heel title reign where he cheated every time he had a match. But like it worked. He was this ubiquitous thing. We always wanted Roman to at least show up to work. And then like he lost and every got Cody. He can be it's like you're a big fan of Cody. But still people were like, where's Roman though? Because like it was like this the most he was the most important guy for four years. So just wanting him to be back on the show kind of constitutes a baby face reaction. And I think it's the reaction to him is so big. It's it's it's gonna be a really interesting thing on how they handle him and Cody on the same show. Agreed. Right now he feels bigger than the title for sure. Like he just he's feels like he's the biggest thing in the universe. And and and I don't know how that it feels like it's gonna be like you know this town I'm big enough for the both right. It feels like there's got to be a moment like that even if they're respectful of one another. Like there's nobody on raw who's as big as this not even punk whatever CM Punk is. There's nobody on on Raw who's as big as this. You got to have one of these guys on Raw and the other guy on SmackDown. How you get there? I don't know. But you got it. You got to especially with Raw going to Netflix. One of these dudes has got to be on Raw. Yeah. That's a really, really good point, Alex. And it is I'd never thought in my life I'd be at a point where in WWE, you could tell like there's there's things about the new era that still have very much old habits. But I can't remember the last time. I was like, do we have too many baby faces organically built baby faces? Because it's it's kind of wild right now. Like especially on the SmackDown side, LA Knight is a hugely over baby face Cody and Roman to me drew and punk are both tweener faces. A lot of your top talent are Seth will be a face when he comes back again. It's it's pretty wild right now. They need goon through to stay a dominant heel because they need a dominant heel. So I kind of get where they're going. But Alex, I figured the reaction was going to be this big. Were you expecting a promo or did you think they were just going to dive into this brawl and we'll hear from him next week? Yeah, then we're going to dive in and then I'm going to let Roman speak yet because when they were let Roman speak, it has to be something that that has to be monstrous. There has to be his his actions towards solo. And what he's doing are speaking millions of words right now. He doesn't even need to pick up the mic and say absolutely anything to get his point across. He doesn't want to say all you to do is and you've been talking trash. No, he just came in and beat the shit out of you for doing exactly what he would say in the mic. You know what I'm saying? And the thing with with what you're saying is you the booze towards Cody because they're coming and they're gonna they're gonna those booze are coming in a giant wave. I want everyone to hear me out right now. They are coming because I don't know man. He's still the top merch seller all the time. Yeah, but the fans are weird. I can I can hate someone and still buy their shirt. Right? I'm weird. Right? Like I might not like someone. I think they're shirt like I'm still gonna go buy their shirt because I I I like them as a performer. I don't know in my brain. I'm gonna tell you right now that that line between Cody and and Roman will start shrinking again. Right? And when it does, I don't see why you would boo Roman right now when everyone's going nuclear for him. If you if you make people choose like Cody Cody is you know he's earnest. The kids are gonna pick Cody. The grown-ups are gonna pick. There you go. He's he's earnest. He really wants to be seen as the top good guy. Yes. Roman don't give a crap about that. Roman don't give a crap about that. He's just there doing what he needs to get done. There's a big difference between everyone should like me. So I will do likeable things. And then a guy who just comes in and punches people in the face while jumping like stone cold in the 90s. He punched you on the face while jumping is located the best thing. Roman Reigns has the potential to be the closest thing. This version of Roman Reigns the closest thing they've had stone cold. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Like a guy who was just flat out cool. Yes. Like and and honestly peak stone cold nobody could touch him. I know you are like there's no chance. I don't know that Roman can reach peak stone cold. But he's as close as he's ever gotten. Just being this cool dude who shows up and punches people in the face of jumping. That's it. That's all you do. You have no idea how perfect this chat is because nobody is a bigger gym party. But Alex and that's a shoe brother. I kind of agree with what people have been saying that Cody is going to get booed for like five years. Can we give up on it? I'll say if you make them choose between Cody and Roman they'll choose Roman. I think they are so wildly different as faces. If you keep them separate they can exist in the same world. But Drew who doesn't have to pay for chats. Cuz says Roman and Cody are the top baby faces on one show with no dominant heel. Drew and Gunther are the top heels on one show with no dominant faces. We need a switch up. I would argue that Drew is kind of the face because I don't think taking a bracelet is the worst thing. They wouldn't argue that though. They're definitely. They're creative wouldn't. But I will say the crowd reactions were very are very mixed are very mixed with Drew. They're not for punk but with Drew sometimes they're just cheering for him anyway. But it's going to be very interesting to see what happens when it moves to Netflix for sure. But guys that is our show for tonight. See tune for the collision that cast tomorrow you're gonna have Aridian and the just incredible Kresta who was saying very naughty things at the end of their last one. But she was she was being a little a little rated our superstar herself. So funny. She is a hoot. If you haven't seen Kresta tune into the collision she is so much fun. Aridian is so great. They'll be an excellent trip for you all back on our usual scheduled butts before we close out. We have a chat from Kyle who says no comments on the show. I just wanted to tell y'all that I got called ma'am at a restaurant today and it made me so happy. I love you. Three so much. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. Kylie we love that for you. Resting is for everyone. Fightful is for everyone. I love that you were treated the way that you should be. That makes me very happy. Damn right. I'll not punch you in the mouth. That's wonderful. I don't want to be violent. Boys girls beyond the binary. We absolutely love you Kylie. Sorry ironic that we were talking about that but in the chat document you were listed as Kyle not Kylie so apologies but we love you so much. You're so wonderful and supportive around here. We love all y'all. We hope you have a safe and wonderful wrestling weekend but Pulaski where can people find you? You find me on Monday talking about raw whatever is happening over there and Tuesday talking about NHT. I'm taking the weekend off because my parents are visiting in the last couple of days. My mom has birthdays on Sunday so we'll do fun stuff. Very nice. My new dogs gave my mama birthday present in that they chewed up one of her shoes. So we're going shoe shopping for my mom tomorrow. So you can find Alex at a DSW or somewhere comparable probably but Cardo's uh we've been hanging out on threads because that's where normal people. That's what we do baby. Where can people find you? You can find me and I'm just going to put it over on threads by simply getting into app. You don't need Instagram. You don't need it to have it connected. You just have threads alone. Alexis Cardo's uh same thing as my Instagram and uh you can still find me sometimes on Twitter pissing people off at on the Alexis Cardo's because I like to go in there and really really really upset people to the point where they want to take my life. I was saying things like I didn't know Roman was on the show to them. Yeah also we're getting closer to our bermons. So things are about to get really good and fun so get ready for that. Absolutely. You can find me @misskatefabe on social media. You can find me here every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday doing your NXT ROH and SmackDown post shows. The infantry gave me a shout out on Twitter and I can't even respond because I am locked out but what fellas are over there. You can catch me on Wednesdays talking all things all the late Mondays with Alex like he said behind the paywall and fight for select with your sauerkraps review and at X-site wrestling doing commentary we had so much fun this past weekend.
