I apologize for the delay, some technical issues, not even fully related to my internet for once on my end, but we do appreciate you spending the end of your Friday night with us and we ask that you get in your super chats, get in your humper chats. There's anything you want to talk about from tonight's show. There's a very, very medium show today. So you want to support us with some chats, please, please do. We'll also remind you to subscribe to FightfulSelect.com. Tons of scoops keys going up over there. Also our home, briefly, while Fightful was down as we're doing some migration on the regular site. We've got, is this a shoot account? We really have SGW in the chat that rules. Looking forward to Will Osprey making his way down there, but sorry Corey, thank you for assisting. But we've got a lot to dive into for tonight's SmackDown before we do, FightfulSelect.com. So much contract news going up, Natalya, Ricochet, Diejack, Chad Gable, Shane Hase, the personal favorite of mine who I think is drastically underrated. You guys know him as slapjack maybe, but my God, his ceiling is much, much, much higher than what he was given in his first WWE run. I'd like to see him back. I would like to see Shane wherever he dains to go because he is very entertaining, but bad ass in the ring. So we will see more contract news on FightfulSelect.com and general news over there as well, MJF's return. So much to talk about, but we've got enough to talk about here on the SmackDown review show. I'm joined by Alex Cardoza as usual. Alex, how are you tonight? I'm doing great. I'm happy to be here again on another exciting episode of Friday Night SmackDown. You know, even when it's not that exciting, at least we're here together. It is true. We are here together. Get in those super chats and humpra chats. Alex, I texted you in the middle of the week because I was like, we're both big cry babies. Your daughter. We really are. Graduating police academy. My sister at 40 years old, going back to get her degree, I couldn't be more proud of any single human being in my life, my goodness. We were emotional on Wednesday, tonight kind of chilled us out. This was not the eventful episode, but. We cried for all the reasons. We did. We did. We cried some tears of boredom and this, but we moved along. We've got clash at the castle on the horizon, so the stories, you know, overall it was kind of an uneventful night, but nothing that felt like it didn't make sense to me. Like everything kind of fell in line. It was just kind of predictable and very, a very talky episode. What did you think kind of overall tonight? Yeah, it did not. For some reason, it did not feel like the smackdown that we've been getting for the last couple of months, even certain little things that I realized and we'll talk about it later, production style wise and whatnot, some key elements were missing and I was like, all right, it's cool to take a break from them as well because we don't want to overuse these tactics that they're using now on the show, but overall it felt like it was missing a little something. I don't know what it was, but I mean, I could be wrong. I don't know. You know, I think part of it is that we really don't see Cody in action outside of PLE is because the PLE schedule is so eventful and he's very emotive in these segments because I think he's trying to do his best as he is bridging gaps between these PLEs, but it doesn't feel like fighting champions on the show when he's not fighting on the show, right? That was part of it for me, for sure. But we've got some chats that have rolled in and we thank you guys so much for the support. Kim Gray saying, getting ready for vacation and I'll miss all next week. Well, oh my goodness, have so much fun with your family. Give them our best. Okay, you're going on vacation and you don't take us with you. You're starting to take time away. Y'all have a good one and don't let the wrestling world burn down. Well, I've got okay. If I could control that Sean would sleep much, much better, but Taylor saying congratulations to your sister Kate and your daughter Alexis on their accomplishments. Well, thank you. Taylor. Thank you so much. I cried like a baby. I'm not afraid to say it's okay. I cried on the 4 a.m. drive to the airport. I cried at the airport. I cried in the plane. I cried at the church. I cried after church. I mean, it was just, I was a mess. I was a mess too. And I was surprised because I was just so psyched for my sister. I was so happy for her and then I was like, the whole time I was just, I wasn't like the CEO dance there, but it was just tears. Listen, I may retire at Marine. He's a brand new officer, like it's crazy. It's just crazy. You know, I put a little video up on, on, on Instagram about to start crying now because it's just like, I should have had done it. I should have not put it. I should have not used that freaking, uh, uh, what do you call it? Uh, sound. I don't know why I did it, but it was just, I thought it was happy and then I'm sitting there at the airport going, but what is men's mental health awareness? We welcome the cryers, we welcome the emotion, we love that, drinking at most with some happy news too. We can just keep the happy news train going. That doesn't make me sad at all. But to my faves, it was a great week. Tonight was good at collisions tomorrow and my wife and I found out we'll be having our rainbow baby in January. My. Goodness. Can go. He texted me and said, I got some good news. I'm not going to drop it till Friday. And I've known Mo's, drinking at Mo's for a while, like I was on the show. Great guy. And he's told me his story heartbreaking, but very, very diligent person and very smart and very, uh, and his wife have gone through some trials and tribulations. So I'm extremely happy for them both and I love you both and I wish you nothing but the best. So keep us updated. That is wonderful news. I love this. I love the way that we're kicking off this Friday night with happy news. You made a baby. Well, not me and him, but yeah. Look, I mean, I support whatever needs to happen, but, um, guys, if anybody is sending in Humber chats, please message Louise stream labs is being a little weird right now. You can, of course, just send in super chats. Humber chats are great because you get to keep a little bit more of the money, but you can default to super chats today. If you don't mind to make Louisa's life a little bit easier. My goodness. Well, let's get into some Smackdown. We both kind of have the same feeling tonight. I think that it was a little medium, but I can do medium episodes when they're medium episodes that make sense. There was a really long time where nothing on this brand was making sense. I think we know that like the uncle, howdy stuff is coming down the mountain as well. So they're clearly not declared to anyone brand because they were never drafted. So I think there's some, some wind in the sails around the corner, but this opens with the video recap of Cody from last week and AJ and the fake retirement angle that only Cody didn't see coming and wheezy blonde, who I love, but what a, what a Mark wheezy is. She's wonderful, but she totally bit at this and I love that for her. But that's kind of how we open is just Cody angrily pacing. There's a lot of Cody Rhodes, just demoting all over this episode. He's still angry like an hour later and still just facing for so much of the show. I'm like, give this guy something to do other than we love, we, we love men feeling their feelings. And it's men's mental health awareness month, like we welcome that, but let's, that's all he's doing at your world champion right now is so mad that he got swerved a week ago. My goodness. He's used the word swerve. Well, talking about WWE be careful. We might get canceled for that. Look, I don't swerve when I drive. I drive safe. Oh, I think, I think we're in the clear, but we move on to Paul Heyman, who speaks first at this anointment ceremony of the bloodline. He says, until Roman Reigns comes back, solisticoa will sit at the head of the table. We get solo getting food. We get these, we want Roman chance continuing. This was really well played by Paul Heyman. He was kind of the standout in this segment, but we get these new names for Tom Itanga, the right hand man and the infamous pangoloa. There's a part of me that gets this because I do it on this show down realizing largely because I'm dyslexic, but I phoned the new Japan product and I'm still like, Tom Itanga Tango Loa, like the, the Tonga Tanga thing is, can trip you up a little bit, especially with an audience that maybe isn't aware, but Tom Itanga, the right hand man and the infamous Tonga Loa, like I wouldn't, it's still, it's still a mouthful. Hey, you know, like this is the way that they want to go, but I honestly went as soon as I heard what they were doing and when they, you know, as he's blurring it out about Paul Heyman, as I said, Oh my God, they WWE their names because that's what they do. And not in a bad way. I'm just saying like, that's, you know, smart on their end because they get to keep the money and, you know, and do the merch on all that good stuff, but they 100% WWE their names. I don't know if Tonga Loa is infamous, don't know if that's what I would have chosen, but my bigger thing with this is what happened to MFT like that doesn't stand for any more and it just kind of went away like, was that supposed to stand for my family tree? Like, I don't know where that initialism went. These names were kind of long and weird, just, I don't know, man, I don't know with you. I don't, I don't, I don't know. There's some things that make sense that just that was not one of them. Sorry, I mean, I don't mean it in a bad way, it's just the fact that I don't understand it. And it's just, you made the names super good duper long, usually they cut names and make it easier. Birdo, right? No more umberto. Noesberto. Right? Yeah, everybody's last names go away. Yeah, everyone's last names go away. But this, this one just didn't kind of didn't make any sense to me as to why they added something more to it. I don't know. Guys, send in what your bloodline names would please. Yeah, mine would be crybaby Tonga. Infamous crybaby carto. Infamous crybaby. I like it. Yeah, I like that. Crybaby carto is. I don't know what I would be. We'll let, we'll let the chance. I would come out to Justin Timberlake's Crimea River. I'd be like Kate in the banglings or something. I don't know. Oh, I like that. The banglings. The bangs are over. We'll just keep rocking with that. Your bangs will always be over. And you got to come out. She bangs. She bangs. Just coming out to Ricky Martin, like 20 years after the song drops. Amazing. We can tell us, Koa, telling Heyman that he should thank Tonga Loa and Tom Matalego for saving Heyman from Kevin Owens last week. And Tonga says that they could have just let Owens kill Paul Heyman, but they saved him, which I liked by orders of the tribal chief. So you're getting this continued dissension over who is the tribal chief, right? This is where we were expecting the story to go, but they're doing it with some subtle see which I appreciate on on that side of it. And then, yeah, we get Owens music hitting and he comes out. He kind of has control over all three of them for a minute, but the bloodline gets the upper hand and the street profits come out to support to, which I say, what happened to Randall Keith Owens? Where is Randy in all of this? But the bloodline retreat and we kind of leave that segment as that, but where's Randy Orton? Where's Bobby Lashley? We do get Paul Heyman shown backstage and we get this sixth man set up for later in the night and Koa said if Heyman doesn't do it, Heyman will face Tonga in the locker room later. So some good continued intimidation there. This was really like, it's always a Paul Heyman showcase with these things I find. But what, what did you think of the rest of the segment? I miss Randy Orton being a part of these. I thought it was okay. You're right. There's, I honestly thought that the, what do you call it, the, oh my God, now I lost her names, the street profits where we're going to just kind of not show up. I don't know why in my head I thought maybe it could have been a Bobby Lashley that was going to come and save them or even a, or him or even come freaking Randy Orton. I don't know. Maybe they just don't, they don't see they maybe they're trying to separate them. You know, I, I, it's, uh, unless Bobby's healing up. I think he was, I don't think he was like injured injured, but I think he might have been banged up from some spots in previous matches, but they also might be trying to separate them because they never really figured out what to do with that. Right. It was kind of frustrating, especially because you sacrifice Cedric Alexander for this, like there were, there were other people that were paired with Bobby Lashley who were great at what they did and you sacrifice them at the behest of the street profits who didn't even really need it. Um, but Will chiming in saying, I think solo calling him the right hand man is because that's what a Roman used to call Jay solo trying to be Roman. I think that's true. I think there's a, the new bloodline has to mimic the old bloodline and structure. It's more than the infamous Tangalawa part of it that really got me because a lot of people were unaware of who he was when he showed up. Um, you could certainly allude to his legacy in New Japan and we're seeing grills of destiny and all of these things get brought into the WWE ethos, but, um, he's not even like a big gun in, in, in New Japan world necessarily. So infamous seemed a little bit heavy handed, but, um, yeah, Anthony Velasquez saying, not interested in seeing Kevin Owens put over the bloodline for the thousand time shakes my head. Yeah. I agree with you. The problem with Kevin Owens is he's incredible at his job and sometimes when people are incredible at their job, Eddie Kingston ran under this problem for a long time in AEW. Like you don't need a title to make things feel important because you're really great at this. And a lot of times that means they don't give you a title because you figured out a way to feel important without it, but it is going back to the same well, a lot. I'm interested to see if Sami Zayn works his way back into the bloodline when Roman Reigns comes back or what that looks like. We still haven't seen Jacob Fatou. I don't know what the, the hold up is there, but there are still more layers of this that are on the way. It just kind of feels like we're taking baby steps to get there. For sure. Yeah. I, I don't know. We'll, we'll see. I mean, they, they're going to have to have something super planned, um, should be coming real soon. Uh, agreed, agreed guys, getting those super chats, hump or chance of being a little bit weird tonight. So if you are just joining us and seeing the, the views crawl up and we thank you so much for tuning in, uh, very much, very much appreciated as you're spending your Friday night with us. And we head in to Jay that Kargill and Bianca Belair defeating Andy Hartwell and Candice LeRae. Um, some good and bad here. Some good and bad here. This ends with Jade hitting a super kick on Andy Hartwell, but Candice LeRae breaking up the pen attempts and then Bianca Belair getting rid of LeRae and the champs landing that cool tandem finisher that they have now to win post match. We get the four women at ringside jumping, Kargill and Valair, you had Shayna Baszler out there. You had the formerly spooky Scottish, which is now just standard babes of your, I guess, uh, I LeDon and the former Kaylee Ray, uh, now Alba Fire, but she, she feels more like Kaylee Ray. So it's, it's an interesting thing because Alba Fire was so specifically for the spooky Scottish, which gimmick that I want to call her that, um, but all four of them are on the attack until Jade and, uh, Belair returned to the ring and take everybody out here. The good of this for me is that we're seeing the women's tag titles.

What makes for a great vacation depends on who you ask. Are you looking to get away or bring everyone together? Do you want to get outside and play or see a play at the plate? Fortunately, however you operate, I'm the destination you've been looking for. The name's Missouri, but you can call me Mo and I have just one question. What's your MO come see me at visitmo.com. You made to feel important as they're being defended on PLE is again, like that was so absent for so long. The thing that I'm still struggling with is all of these matches are kind of feeling the same because I think they're still trying to get Jade acclimated of, uh, Bianca Belair does a ton of work and then Jade comes in for the finish kind of thing and we waited so long to see Jade. I was kind of hoping we'd get something more expansive out of this, but understanding she's still newer, understanding that she's still learning the ecosystem a little bit here. Tag psychology is completely different from what I'm one psychology to. So, so I get it, but it does just feel like the matches become formulaic and it's also kind of hard to believe either of these women are in peril in their baby faces. They're both these strong kick ass women who I have a hard time believing anybody could be, which they've gone out of their way to tell us. Um, so believing that either of them are in peril is tough. Shayna Baszler definitely wanted to do it, but what did you think of our tag match and later we do find out that we are getting this triple threat of fire and dawn, Baszler and Zoe Stark versus your tag champions at clash at the castle, which I think is good news all around. Yeah, I mean, I got to see my spooky witches, so that makes me happy. I did not like the way that ended, by the way, I was extremely upset. You could have, I mean, WWE, that was disrespectful towards me. But anyway, I digress. Um, Jade, Cargill, Bianca Belair, what do I have to say about them? The fact that they are a gosh, like they're making the tag titles to seem really, really something special now with these two. And if this is going the way, I think that it's going where they're going to continue to put, um, defenses up and, and, and make some incredible matches. I think that you can finally 15, 20 years from now say, wow, those, that was an insane run. Like, you know, we think, we think about demolition and we think about all these great tag teams, uh, road dog and Billy gun, like blah, blah, blah, right? All these great. I think these two girls, man, at these ladies, um, have what it takes unless they turn on each other to really, um, elevate the women in the tag team division. Like everyone should be able to cling onto these two now and elevate themselves to that level. Um, and the fact that we get to see, you know, now, uh, Shane, Shane is incredible. Shane is. Oh my God. Um, the other day I, I, I, who was it that told me, uh, shoot, I think it was Alex who told me how old he was, uh, she was. And I was just like, what? Yeah. That's insane. How she older than me, you know, like, I, she doesn't look at. First of all, you know, um, it doesn't move like it either. She's a bad ass in there. Yeah. So I'm, I'm hoping that even if they don't win, um, this elevates them to another level. They deserve it. So good man. So I love seeing the women thrive. You're right. This division has been picked up by this tag run so much just from even the talent rotation that we're seeing tag matches, you get two women on TV instead of one, right? But on top of that, you're getting triple threats. You're getting defenses on PLEs. You love to see it there. And speaking of PLEs, man, PLEs are included. There was a lot of talk started by bully ray. Okay. But PLEs were paid for fees. It was eating up the news cycle for the dumbest of reasons, but it's the same thing. But we've got PLEs, we've got pay per views, big, the cost a lot. You're emptying your wallets, but there's a way to get things a little bit cheaper around these parts. And that's using the code of Fightful with Nord VPN. I have long talked with you guys about the content that you can access with Nord VPN.com/fightful, but it doesn't just stop at pro wrestling. You can get MMA and boxing pay per views at a much more affordable price when you change your virtual location with just one click using Nord VPN.com/fightful. It doesn't stop there either. Football games, man, if you want to check out those out-of-market football games, you don't have to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars, you can get Nord VPN.com/fightful and just change your virtual location. How about baseball games? They make it harder than ever to actually watch baseball games. It is a task not with Nord VPN.com/fightful. They got everything you need in addition to all the threat protection and security that comes with Nord VPN. But if you want that content, Nord VPN.com/fightful is right for you. I was really thinking that song, baby, let's go. You're muted, Kate, but I definitely use Nord VPN. And I got to tell you, ladies and gents, it is one of the greatest things I've ever just purchased and have made. I think I bought it for the next six years using the gold fight. You get a big discount for real. Big discount. And if you like, no, I'm just kidding. I use it at the airport. I use it when I go out in public, in public spaces when I'm working. I use it when I shouldn't be doing things I should be doing. It is the greatest thing ever. And if I told you once, I'll tell you again, if you use it and you put your location as UK and you have Disney Plus, you get Hulu added for free. That's what's up. You can travel anywhere in the world with Nord VPN. And we appreciate their support. You really do out of all of the sponsors we have, Nord is one of the most supportive that we've ever had. And on top of that, it's one of the biggest discounts you'll ever get. So you need a VPN quite legitimately, Nord VPN is the way to go. This isn't a super chat, but I host the show. So I get to do what I want. And if you're going to talk about Shane Hayes, I'll bring it up. Okay. He needs to stay in New Japan and help TMDK win all the gold. They only had three years to get that shit right. I would love, I would love for Shane to stay. I would love for TMDK to win gold. I would like to see those tag titles combined, but most importantly, I love Shane and I hope that he gets paid just to go wherever the heck he wants. And I'm hope he's happier. The Cody Rhodes, who is your make back stage again, he's so mad, Alex and Nick, all this walks over and tries to calm Cody down, but he is heated. We saw so many just emotional Cody segments of this. That moves on to Sarah Schreiber, who's backstage with Apollo Cruz, nice to see Apollo Cruz continuing to get some reps, would love to see Odyssey Jones in the two years he's been called up from the next day, get a rep at some point, let's keep people front in mind. But he talks about how he starts to talk and has instantly jumped by Angel and Berto and legato runs in until officials break things up and you get LA night. Yeah. Walking into frame and asking all this where the heck Logan Paul is once again, all just says that Paul was playing Tetris and that fires LA night up and what is an extremely silly moment where he basically says you can piece all these things together, make all these shapes and it looks like my foot up his ass, which I appreciate it. Then Carmelo Hayes walks in and all this makes night versus Hayes a match for later in the show. That is cool and we're going to talk about that in a little bit, but I feel like they both needed wins, but they did a good job protecting Carmelo a little bit later. So I think good things to come. Any thoughts on that promo? We can talk about the match a little bit, but it was good. I just, again, my poor legato, Fantasma has just been, you know, just turned to whatever it is now. Just I don't have any goddamn words. It is tough, it is a bummer because you have, he feels like he should be, Santos Escobar specifically feels like he should be in a title hunt and it just is crowded right now. This is where something like Trio's titles would help you out very much, right? Like this is, they have so many stables where the guy that leads them feels like the big deal and the other people are just supporting cast. So it's not like you want them in the tag title picture because that leaves Santos out. Sure. So it's tough. It's tough. There was contract news that broke about Angel and Roberto. You can check fightfulselect.com man Sean is not at a shortage of contract news. There's like eight free agents that are in the mix right now. There's going to be more from AEW coming up too. You guys know how AW functions, they don't really fire people. They usually just kind of go on these release cycles for the most part. So you're going to be seeing some contract cycles come up. This is the first time since AEW's existence that they've had contract cycles come up at the same time, right? So there's going to be a lot of movement. And let me tell you, every single time your favorite goes somewhere else, it's a personal attack on you and you should take it very, very first. Well saying, are we surprised how mad Cody is? He's facing a mad man who got on a plane for 20 hours with a chair to screw allay night. He is an infamous hater, AJ Styles is, but it's a week after the retirement angle happened and it just feels like he's, to me this means he's felt this way all week, you know what I mean? I just, I feel like he's got a beautiful wife and a gorgeous daughter like he, he should be able to have worked so much this time. But that's just to me, that's just to me, we move along to our Donnie Gargano and Grayson Waller match. This may be so happy because I like when I get to see Johnny Gargano wrestle. And I think Grayson Waller and Austin Thier are both very good in the ring. I'm starting to feel like the, the sum of the parts is not better than the parts on their own. The opposite of what you want of like the sum is greater than the whole of the parts. It's, it's kind of the opposite right now. I really feel like Grayson Waller could be doing something more significant if he wasn't anchored, unfortunately by Austin Thier, I know that sounds kind of, but it just feels like he's poised to break out and Austin Thier just, they never repackaged him after that failed US title run and I feel like it was working and now it's not, and this is what's in the tag title. So DIY winning at SummerSlam would make me very, very happy. But tonight I got to see why the Gargano wrestle and that made me very, very happy right there. But Grayson Waller coming out with the win as you would expect here. You got Gargano going from the splash, but Waller pulls Austin Thierry into harm's way. So we're, we're seeing that continued dissension, which is good. But Waller hitting his finisher on Gargano for the win here, decent enough kind of like a lot of other things on this, where you're like, it made sense the in-ring was good, felt very paint by numbers still though to me, but hey, I got to see Johnny Gargano wrestle, I'm a happy gal, what did, what did you think of this match? Yeah, same. I'm still waiting to see, you know, with a time down under still holding these titles. I'm assuming they're going to wait for a big pay-per-view for, you know, them to release is not just going to happen on SmackDown. But it just, it's felt like slow-paced to me, very, very slow-paced, and I would really love for them to break up and, you know, Thierry to go on a wild, crazy, like, maybe for the U.S. belt again or whatever, you know, I don't know. But I would love for him to kind of branch off again. I like him as a singles competitor a lot, you know. When it comes to Gargano and Champa, I like them, I like, I like what, you know, them as a tag team. They've just felt out of the shuffle for me for a while now, you know, after that whole stand where they were being called DX, you know, and I don't know why they're still using those graphics. If you notice, if you look closely, they're still using DX graphics and they're freaking entrance. They haven't separated themselves around a different brand, like, why are we still using those graphics? Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. I hope that it changes for them. I hope that something's come in their way, but they, too, have felt like the puzzle piece hasn't completely fit in when it comes to them to his attack team right now at this moment. I'm hoping that because SummerSlam is in Cleveland, we get a Gargano moment and they deserve those titles. And the type of matches that they could put on are going to be higher quality than kind of, they're doing it well, so it's not disparaging to the performers, but this is chicken shit heel stuff. Right? Like, this is, this is live sheet steel, whatever. So I think it would be refreshing for those titles to feel like they have a little bit more legitimacy to them, especially when you've got the Miz and our truth doing whatever the hell they're doing, God, Ross, so, agreed, well, Cody continues to emote. That's what we get here. We get some, some wildly illogical things that happen in this, but it's a new era. So I guess it can almost pass crimes over the heads of people, but we get AJ Styles pulling up to this with the good brothers and they had a whole angle where they split and now they're all heels again and the good brothers are also challenging for the NXT tag titles on Sunday. What the hell are they doing here? Go get ready for your tent. Why are you supporting AJ Styles? He kicked you to the curb. This makes no fricking sense, driving me nuts, but we'll see. I guess they're not going to win on the PLE, which they basically just told us, which I figured was the case anyway, but I doubt they're going to be NXT tag champions and re-involved in this, which is maddening, but Cody calls out AJ Styles and says, "Get your ass to the ring right now." No security needed, AJ is remixed to the heads and he comes out with gals at Anderson. He wants a match at Clash in the castle and Cody says he's got it, but it's going to be an I-quit match and Cody fights through the officials to kind of lunge at AJ, but the other officials stop Cody. Styles jumps at Cody and hits him. He gets a mean mugging at the end of the segment. It was so much Cody feeling his feelings on this episode. He needs Farron needs to be an emotional support dog or something. This is a lot of feelings. He is really trying his best with stuff that is felt heatless, I think. But more and more, I feel like I'm starting to subscribe to the Pulaski feeling of they really haven't had a plan for Cody since he won. The plan was Cody wins, and then he says, "Okay, and then what? Doesn't it feel like we've had much for him?" I really am so confused about what the WWE Bullet Club Branch is doing. I love gals at Anderson, but what are we doing here? Make it make sense and give Cody a therapist, man, he's in his feelings here. I've said this for so long, and listen, I believe in therapy, it works for everyone. This is me talking in storyline now and in wrestling terms, but I don't think what he needed was a change in wrestling brands to go for a title, or what he needed was a therapist to talk about everything that was going on in his life, his emotions, and his daddy issues. That's all I think that he needed, and that would have risen him to an ascendant. Now, like you just mentioned, he's stuck, he's stuck here that hasn't really been any movement. This feud with AJ and I apologize for jumping on top here. This whole thing that happened backstage, it all seems a little bit rushed again. We had so much time and story and innings and quarters and basketball periods with Roman that now with AJ is just punking him and he's mad, and we're going to fight for it on Saturday. I really think and certainly you have to protect your champions just physically, but this is a mea culpa, this is totally for me. I like to see dudes beat each other up, and I like it when my champions beat him up, so I want Cody to beat people up on SmackDown and not just at P.M. Yeah. Because we have seen face to face, face to face, contract signing, face to face, like we never get to see Cody just fighting people on SmackDown, and I'm sure they're trying to spread his reps out because these PLEs are so on top of each other, but like, I feel like what sometimes Cody reads as an authentic to me because the emotion is so high, and I feel like he'd be able to tone it down a little bit if we were seeing those stories play out on the show, rather than him just trying to crank everything up to 11 to make us all feel something like it's kind of having the backfiring effect, but we're not the only opinions in the room, right, when Cody said to AJ, I'm going to make you do what you should have done last week and say, I quit, but did hurt me, he says well. So it feels like they're handcuffed because of the schedule, but it does feel like we didn't have much of a plan for Cody out of the gate. I am glad that there's at least a story here instead of just like challenger, contract signing, challenger, contract signing, like at least they're running it back. And the match with AJ was so good that I'm looking forward to the rematch, like we just got to get there. Yeah. And it's hard, right, because there at no point are you going to feel like Cody's going to lose this title as a wrestling fan. We've watched wrestling for so long that we know he's not going to lose this title. So it's kind of hard. And we love the fighting. We love the beating up of each other. We and I both agree on that. If you're going to fight, you're going to fight, right? But you know, at the end of the day, like when you're just throwing these things together, we just know Cody's not losing any time soon. You know what I'm saying? Alex, you're right about one thing. It is hard. Oh, freak like that, like that, like that SpongeBob meme. I am out. Look, if it wasn't hard, they would need some help is all I'm saying, Alex. She's looking at me in the eyes and she if it was, if it was like just, if Cody was just like some champion who was just off the top, you would just.

Jay Miller asking a great question. Does Cody need to earn Anderson again? I would love that. I would love that idea. Hey, can I ask you a question? Hey, do you think that that would happen using they would bring to hear WWE is different now.

It's, it's cool. I think it's cool. I think I think it could work for them. I think that would be really refreshing if already Anderson entered the picture, um, whether the Glock would make it. I don't know. I feel like that's probably going to have to that. That is probably still under account. The Glock is probably still under contract in AEW is my guess, but, uh, you never know Arne and his pieces man could go ahead. I love that idea. I would love for them to bring an arm. It is different, right? Girls of Destiny got said on WWE television that never would have happened even a year ago. So, um, that, that I think would be great. And it would freshen up some things for Cody and would make the tie ins with his dad feel a little bit more authentic instead of as played out as we've seen them over the past couple of years. So I'm all for that. I would love that idea. Yeah. I would love that. Get in your super chats as we continue down the road here. We'll also take a moment to remind you to subscribe to FightfulSelect.com. Some injury news that went up on the free tier is a bummer, specifically in Irish wrestling that was brought to you by Corey Brennan, um, we've got NXT plans. I'm sure you're going to have your producer's first Smackdown on Fightful Select tomorrow. Another pay per view weekend. And we got an NXT PLE coming around the corner. Um, I'm sure Corey will have some scoops there. It's a big one. It's a big one. Ethan Page is now in the title picture. Got some good stuff happening in the women's division with the Jordan Grace crossover into NXT. Yeah. Really, really good stuff. And we thank Alex Cardoza for sitting in for me on Tuesday as well. Very much. Double A. You know what I'm saying? I love that for us, love that for us, but we move along to LA Night Defeating Carmelo Hayes here. They did go out of their way to protect Carmelo Hayes and a lot of this. He continues to look good in big spots and I am glad to see he's kind of settled into a story with LA night because I think he's coming after LA Night. I think LA Night is going to beat Logan Paul and Carmelo is going to be his first like out the gate, but they're jockey each other as soon as the bell rings, but this was fun. And you get a different finish here because LA Night almost always wins with the BFT. You get Hayes rolling night up out of it, but then Night able to roll up Hayes for the win and post match. Night says he's going to bring Smackdown to Logan Paul. Really nice face buster from Carmelo Hayes and this too that I thought looked good for it too a little bit earlier in this, but I felt like if you're going to have Carmelo lose, this is the way to do it. I hope LA Night wins. He deserves gold and I feel like Melo being like a real feud out of the gate would be something that's really, really fun to start. What did you think of what we got tonight? Yeah, I liked it. Now here's what I don't get. When was the last time that we saw something like this where someone invaded someone's house? Who the AJ, who the AJ invade or someone invaded AJ, there were Christmas decorations. Right? Yeah. Who was that? Ellie night. Okay. So LA Night just lost friggin showed up in people's houses and beating the shit out of them. Okay. Here we go. Open better night. I mean, so I guess we're going to see LA Night fly out to Puerto Rico and beat the crap out of out of the Paul brother here. But I don't know. I mean, I enjoyed it. I, you know, and later on, we have the promo. We'll talk about that, but I kind of like where this is the Carmelo Hayes is like you mentioned. He is like the next coming of a great star, man. Whatever it is that they have planned for him, I hope that it's big. Him and Ellen, I could kill it. Yeah. I think they would. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think so too. Yeah. There were reports, I think it was rest of what said that there's some kind of repositioning of Ron breaker on the bottom because they're realizing what he's capable of, how high his ceiling is in Carmelo and Ron were like the dudes in the next year for a while. And so to see them being better evaluated on the main roster, something that makes me very happy because they killed it, but it's some good stuff. So good. And predictable, like a lot of smackdown was tonight, but sometimes predictable is the right call. Sure. You can be clean wins and losses on my happy gal. So you got Carmelo Hayes going after people that are meaningful to continue building his star power and you got Ellie and I trying to freaking home invade again. So let's go. That's right. He's breaking the hole. It's just, this is new thing I guess. This is a new game. Let's see if we get Tiffany Strand talking to Nia Jax saying that they should team up, which is not the best, not the worst. So I think your mileage may vary on that, but Nia walks straight into Meachin, who again is in the ZNXC ladder match. Not sure what we're doing with this brand crossover, but throws a drink and Nia's face and we get women brawling because bitches be brawling when drinks are thrown. That is like what the takeaway from the segment was I hate when they do that. I hate when they make it feel like a Real Housewives episode, but I am not the queen of hate. I'm not the first mayor of hate. We've got the king of hate in the house, Alex Polowski. It's my double A brother. Alex, it feels like it's been 900 years because we didn't do a collision post show and I was out Tuesday. This is like the longest move on in a very long time. Yeah. Um, I've missed you. How are you? And I agree that you hate us and you wanted to be with your sister more than you wanted to be with us. Yeah. Like he said, I could even just show up on Tuesdays and talk on Xt now and have fun, but you said F you to both of us and I felt hurt, but you know, it's aggressive and inaccurate, but um, Kim Gray is saying that I forgot the sour chat and that's not true. I specifically held off on it until now until until I could do it with Kate, Kim. So, um, Kim says, I'll be gone on a Disney cruise starting tomorrow. I'll miss you. You loveable Sourpuss. Well, I'm all gone all next week. So it's, it's for Kate as well. This is should be gone all week. And so we'll miss Kim Gray all week. We will. Yes. Um, very much. Yeah. I wanted to do it with with Kate. So there you go. Um, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, I'm the hater of the table. Um, Hey, try see a, uh, I can't, you're, you're with me, right? You also hate I quit matches, right? Like they, I mean, so like, Hey, I, we already speak, it was a pretty good batch of backlash. H and Cody's very good. I feel like we didn't need a second one. And the second one didn't need to be an I quit match. You know what I mean? Like, cause Cody's definitely not going to say I quit. You know what I mean? Because, because, because these colors don't run. And when I say these colors, I mean the ones on his neck. That is like, so he's, he's definitely not going to quit. So, so this, we, we, this is a, this is a foregone conclusion of all foregone conclusions. Like if it was like, maybe like, oh my God, uh, somehow AJ Styles got into a lucky shot and he's the champion for a month before he wins it back or something. But like, there's no chance that like he could like cheat and grab the ropes and somehow get a pinfall that's reversed a week later on Smackdown. Like Cody's not saying I quit. So this is a match that like just doesn't need, it's going to be, it's going to be 32 minutes long. Like, yeah, Cody's the baby face. It's like he's going to bring AJ's son who just graduated from high school out of the crowd and threatened him with a barbed wire baseball bat. That's not a thing Cody's going to do. No, but AJ could bring Liberty, Liberty, Liberty into it. But a, but that's, but Cody's, Cody will then have to sacrifice his own daughter because he's definitely not quitting while giving up the title. That's not a thing he's going to do. So you wouldn't do that. Like, so I, whatever. Um, I have to kick you off the show because I can't be upstaged. Alex Kallowski is the star. Wow. Still of Kate and Alexis though. Listen, that's my sour a Tetris tournament, a goddamn Tetris tournament. That's where this guy is. Like, I mean, how much jet lag is there on a flight from Louisville to Los Angeles? Just show up to work, man. Just show up to work. Well, I think we're supposed to not like him very much. Well, kudos because it's working. Yeah, there you go. I'm not going to say anything on, on Monday, after Alba fire and Eila Don that ruined that match. We knew in that very second, we were getting a triple threat match at a clash at the castle because the two women are Scottish. We knew that for a fact, then they had to do this whole rigmarole with indie and can stand us. And then like both women decided to fly into Louisville where they do not have to be a day early before their travel starts. They decided to go in early to be there to stand at ringside. They're a brand split. Never existed, but should well for title pictures, I'm, I'm more okay with it. The titles, the titles float that the people who hold the titles float, the people who do not yet hold the titles should not float. But then we had to have a 45 second backstage interview with Byron Saxton where Bianca and Jay just came out of an office and just said a thing that a graphic could show us in five seconds. Apparently every second matters on Smackdown because they have to somehow have to fit 32 minutes and 43 seconds of mediocre wrestling into two hours. So if every second counts and you can't find a way to get Andrade on the program so much so that you've got to make him your new speed champion, spoiler alert, come on man, I was going to watch that. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, stop, stop. He just made this 45 seconds. What did you say became speed champion on Drade the man? Oh, he didn't like his positioning on the card and they said, we're going to give you the most important title that exists. And it's the one that we don't even let television Wow, ricochet held that, held that boat for three weeks. He never appeared on television wearing it. Yeah. It's not supposed to, that's why they said anyway, I guess that's for this flower. I'm not sure how many of that is, but it's this weird. Oh, oh, me am like I was honestly I was on board with me am somehow winning that ladder match and then feuding with Jada Parker over it and then losing to Jada Parker that way. But now I can't have her win it because if she does, then on Friday next week after becoming your first ever women's North American champion of NXT or women's North, North women's American. I don't, they say it differently. Women's North American champion. How about it? Yeah. Sure is it? Is it women's NXT North American champion or NXT women's North American champion to say it differently. Anyway, being your inaugural champ of that thing, whatever it is, four days later, she's getting squashed by Nia Jackson Smackdown and I can't have it. So apparently now I have to root for her to lose in the ladder match. Well, you could just do whatever you want because they did a whole thing where AJ and the Bullet Club split and now they're just. Oh, AJ slapped Carl Anderson in the face. And now they're just like, we ride. Now they're cool, like, and here's what I want to know. Were they in on it last week or were they just as surprised as we were? I don't know, but Cody, Cody had a lot of feelings about it today. But Cody, Cody was very angry. I think Cody was the most angry because he's the only one in the world who didn't see it coming. Yeah. He felt he feels really embarrassed about being such a dumb, dumb, all so. He was Casey backstage multiple times. If the good brothers, if the good brothers win on Sunday, will they wear the NXT tag team title belts to the ring at Clash at the Castle? Bro. Brack up AJ Styles, if you're on NXT, you're on NXT end of statement period. Well, especially if you were a champion, that's my other bigger thing is like, if you're a champ work, work the brand that you're a champ. But that's where I'm at. Women's North American champion. Okay, good. That makes sense because that's what they say with the men, right? And I see men's North American. I still like North Women's American. North Women's like the women have to be North American. Yeah. You can't. I mean, honestly. All right, cool. Oh, if you like that, down on this, we got plenty of it coming up for you on Sunday. Alex and I will be reviewing the NXT PLE OMG on the main channel. You don't even have to subscribe there. You should anyway, because then you'll get me angry and with Kate on Monday about Raw, whatever that is. Mm-hm. So that's good. I love that. Yeah. Get sour with us all the time. Fight for select, but also tune in for the PLE post show on Sunday. It'll be a good time. We're gonna have some fun. Yeah. It will. Because Ethan Page is here. Yeah. That'll be fun. Also, don't what people who are speaking with an accent, just don't. We're just gonna talk about that. Don't do that. Just as a don't what people at all, but especially if it's because you think they talk funny. Yeah. It's very annoying. Do better Louisville. Yeah. It's because Shawn wasn't there. Shawn. Yeah. You get angry at people that pronounce your whole name. Your name is Louisville and you get angry at people who don't pronounce it. Louisville. You're not all. What are you? Level up. I was just going to say. It's a developmental show of a developmental show. You're out here. What people for talking with an accent. I don't appreciate. I'm just gonna leave. I did appreciate Piper David saying in bread, say what as a response to that. That was pretty good. But we were just going to segue into that segment. Thank you, Alex. For giving us that. We will take it, but we have a very obnoxious crowd. As he alluded to, but Bailey barely getting awarded before she's interrupted by the delightfully obnoxious Chelsea Green and Piper. And Chelsea has the mic and says Bailey talks a big game for being a big loser. And then she calls the fans losers, which she was right about that because they were disrespectful as hell during the segment. You have green saying Bailey was a loser in Saudi Arabia and a loser last week and she'll be a loser. When a little Miss P finishes her, which I thought was lovely. And Bailey mocks Chelsea for being Piper's mouthpiece and says that she respects Piper and that Piper doesn't need Chelsea. And you have a Bailey say she appreciated never ever since she's are in the May young classic. If you look at the May young classic. And the fruit that was bared at that tournament. There's some incredible tournament that talent that came out of that. But Bailey says it'll mean everything to Niven and she knows how that feels because she has lost in front of everybody that she's loved before, which I liked. And Niven grabs the microphone. And that's when this crowd goes into business for themselves. And it's very obnoxious but says she's going to beat the hell out of Bailey in her home country. And that she's won titles in the UK Europe and Japan. She was a world champion before she even stepped to the door in WWE. And that she will stand over Bailey as the new champion at Flash at the Castle. And then we get a stare down. So I'm so happy because Piper Niven is legitimately excellent and I'm very happy she gets to have this moment. This was built out just fine. The crowd was obnoxious about it. Wasn't the world's strongest promo but it certainly wasn't so bad it deserved this level of disrespect in my opinion at all. But some good stuff. It's also going to be a different type of match for Bailey because we haven't really seen her face. Piper before so I'm excited because I think Piper is capable of a lot more. And Nia is doing the best work of her career so I don't mean this disrespectfully but Piper has a bit stronger of a move set and can move a little bit better than that Nia has historically. So what were your thoughts on this segment and is this how Louisville acts when Sean Ross app is not around to keep them in check because very, very disrespectful by the people who follow Sean there. I know he's like next in line to be mayor. I don't know. Something's happening out there. But when I hear my sources are telling me my own things they went before the government. And when he's not around people act up. They act the fool. But anyway, Piper Niven well deserved. You know that she's going to get the spot here at her home country now and I've always said it man. She was she was to me like a badass, you know, before they kind of played around with her a little bit. Which, you know, with everything that was, you know, happening with her and her pairings, I want to say. Yeah. Who was it? Eva? Eva Marie? Yeah. I mean, Jesus Christ. It was bad. So I'm extremely happy to see where she goes to now. I think that this pairing with Chelsea Green Chelsea kind of being a mouthpiece and just kind of going off sometimes like yapping and bitching and just like being a dick to people. I think I love that. And while having Piper just kind of be there to be like, yeah, what she said and then beat the crap out of people is great. I'm hoping to see a lot more Piper Niven and her star power to rise and hopefully see the company put a little bit of the machine behind her. We've seen them do that with some new people that just came into the company. Yeah. And it's it's it's it's always good when they kind of go roll it back and kind of give those that have been working like she says it's 2017. That's a long time, my friends. That's a pre pandemic. We used to live a free for life without, you know, crazy things happening around us and then, you know, like, things changed and I'm still waiting for her to get her comings, you know. Yeah, I think this will be the most productive. Huge of her career and WWE, which is good. And I'm also happy that clash at the castle, they seem to be prioritizing putting Scottish talent on the card more than we've seen with Australia and with France. Right. So, and with a plan, it wasn't like you're Scottish. It's a story building out and that's good. It means they're listening because I think a lot of us have had complaints about that. So, yeah, some good stuff there. That leads to our main event segment and match here where we have the six man that got set up earlier in the night and man, they are pushing the hell out of this bloodline wolf pack thing huh. My goodness, I feel like they need to get it into gear a little bit more, but this was a fun match and kind of went as expected. You do have Tomatanga taking a lot of losses, very early and his stint. And I get how it supports the bigger picture, but they got to have some just random wins for him to pick up, I think, because all of the notable stuff he's done has been losses, like in the king of the ring torment, etc, things, things like that. I would, if I had Tomatanga in my employee, less grunting more winning because that's grunting. And before the frickin idiots come, he made sounds and new Japan. He did not sound like stitch from Lee Lowen stitch. Okay, I, he grunted in Japan. It sounded like when, when like people will grunt during like tennis matches or like in the heat of battle. Yeah, this stuff is over the top and weird, but you got Kevin Owens landing a swan town on solo succoa and going for the stunner. What's next?

King supers, fresh for everyone, fuel restrictions apply. We get some super kicks back and forth and a clothesline from succoa onto Owens, get solo going for some Owens spike at the end here but Owens ducks that and delivers a stunner so I love the trading of finishers there. And during the pin Owens is pulled outside by Tonga and loa, and everything breaks down, and we, of course, get a DQ fish matches over. Bloodline continues beating up on the street profits a little bit and succoa is fierce forward, which has looked really, really nasty. So we have the bloodline power bombing Kevin Owens to the commentary table to stand at all. And it just doesn't feel like the street profits in Kevin Owens are actually a unit. So this was a little weird. But, but this is, again, paid by numbers, kind of how you would expect things to go. I don't like DQ finishes, I like wins and losses, but this one makes sense. So if you're going to do them, at least have them make sense to me. I'll take it. What did you think of our main event here? Yeah, I, you know, I didn't mind it. But again, like you just mentioned it, the episode felt like it was missing something. And even as I was watching this whole match play out, you just knew something from, you know, bad was going to happen in the sense that, you know, there was going to be a lot of outside play or something was going to, you know, some type of old, you know, all I say old school, but some type of old ways of bloodline working their business in the ring happens, right? Someone gets able to chair something, you know, someone interferes, blah, blah, blah. And it seems like this version of the, of the bloodline, bloodline is, their story is really cool. Like outside of the ring, I love their banter with the wise man. I love the way that they talk. I like the way that they present themselves. But in the ring, it's kind of, it's, it's still not clicking for me just because there's, obviously, you know, just starting to get out there. Um, as a, as a, as a trio and whatnot. I don't, I don't know why this, why Kevin Owens is with the street profits still. We mentioned this weeks ago when the street profits ran in to help them. I'm still like. Why? Yeah. I don't want to sound like these dudes on the Internet that say, where's the story? But where is the story on this? Where, what, what made them decide to jump in here? They don't have the titles. Like neither team has the tag titles. This is very weird that they saw. I would, I would have been more comfortable with having Randy in his heart because, you know, you just don't want to throw Randy in everything or now because he just came back from an injury, but having Randy and him kind of get beat up all the time by the, by the bloodline. Uh, right. And then just having perhaps someone a missing piece joined them somehow. I don't know what that missing piece could be, but we could work ourselves there. Sure. You know, um, but right now it just seems like it's a little, it's lacking something. And I'm hoping that we were able to get that because like I mentioned before, everything's felt a little bit off for Smackdown. I don't know what it is. Um, I don't know. It's just, um, it, you look at everything and you go, yeah, that's what I expected. Like, there's not a lot of excitement or energy. I do like your point though of kind of like the, the OG bloodline felt extremely methodical. Y'all for real. And this was, I'd feels like unpredictable violence for even Paul Heyman is scared of them. So I appreciate that there is a juxtaposition in that. Yes. Some more chats that came in from Will who's so supportive of us tonight. Thank you. It really hurt Piper when the man who we will not say the name of named her do drop and put her with even Marie. Yes, that was a failed run during the pandemic. Yeah. But one of the first super chats that I ever sent before I started working here was to Sean and I said, what are they doing spelled like you drop. And so that always holds a, a dear place in my heart that the first $5 I ever spent here. If I thought was on the best, but we'll also saying that pop for Roman when he comes back is going to be crazy. So now solo. I don't know what the rest of this is supposed to say. I think that is moves that he kind of likes the trolling of it. Yeah, there is, there is some trolling going on here. And I think it's going to feel like solo gets a huge promotion from a place on the card standpoint. When Roman comes back. So I'm, I'm into that. Jasmine pointing this out that it kind of came from the interference of the king of the ring tournament. I'm kind of like, why did the king of the ring tournament have that interference? You know what I mean? Like it's, it's a little bit tricky. It's a little bit tricky there, but your collision or your rampage rundown. Excuse me. From Louise, we appreciate you providing that for us. You had Penta without San Fernando's defeating the butcher. You had the learning treat coming to the rain side to congratulate Matt Menard on his A.W. Rampage work and Keith telling Menard not to disrespect Jericho. Oh, God, that sounds like every other Jericho faction I've ever seen. The acclaimed with daddy asked to feeding Hunter Gray and Parviz for some reason, please break them up. She ain't Taylor promotions cutting a backstage promo calling out action on ready and top flight. Are they a tag team or a trio? This is like a messy little rampage. I get to the agony defeating private party, which that match probably rules, I would guess. There's a video package titled picture of a champion promoting the match between Tony Storm and Lady Frost, Lady Frost and Northeast standout who I have a lot of love for and adore who she is as a person to enter wrestling so excited that she gets that spot. You got the bang bang bang defeating Kayla crush Chris wild and Thomas pain very nice that juice Robinson is back. And after the match J white named juice Robinson as a trios champion via the free bird rule. I like where that might be going. And Mina Shirakawa's defeating Serena deep. The chat was talking about that being an outstanding match. I saw some brief Twitter notes saying very similar that that women's match absolutely tore it down. Yeah, that makes me very, very happy. So that was your rampage rundown. Thank you guys for sticking around. Some confirmation here from second Lieutenant Colonel photo saying, D versus Mina ruled and after with Mariah, Mariah, man. Everybody and rightfully so has been so excited about Diana and Mercedes coming over, Ryan may has done nothing but deliver since she's come over and it makes me very, very happy Jasmine closing us out saying I love you guys but Alexis is a Cowboys fan and Kate said that my organization has already failed. What did I say? I'm sorry. Love you guys though. All right. All right. You can put them away. Those are Super Bowl rainings, baby. I I'm with you. I'm the not like a Cowboys part Jasmine.
