WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS “He got beat.” That’s what The Usos started off telling us all on Friday Night SmackDown at Madison Square Garden this week and boy oh boy was it just what we needed to hear to remind us of the fact that Roman Reigns did indeed get pinned by Jey Uso at Money in the Bank in London. 1. 2. 3. Hell yeah. Naturally, they couldn’t even enjoy that victory for a few minutes before Paul Heyman, flanked by Solo Sikoa, interrupted. And then, confusion. Heyman called himself the lead defense for Reigns in this trial of the Tribal Chief and no one can tell him to shut up … which is when Sikoa took his mic and tossed it out of the ring. Reigns’ music hit the speakers, and he hit the scene, and they went to a commercial break. Just to come back to Heyman in the ring next to Reigns with a microphone back in his hand. Okay! “You got pinned” chants rang throughout the arena. It’s worth noting that Reigns said Jimmy “sure as hell isn’t The Tribal Chief” before saying Jey also isn’t but adding “yet.” It would appear that thread is continuing. Meanwhile, New York showered Reigns with a “you bleeped up” chant after they showed a video package called “Exhibit A” that more or less ran down all the ways he’s been a selfish, manipulative, tyrant of a leader. Of course, he claimed that’s not who he is but who he was forced to be. He didn’t do it because he wanted to, he did it because he had to. He did it for the family. He did it for The Bloodline. He turned it around on Jey, claiming he was using his low moments to embarrass him in front of his own daughter, who was backstage, and acted as though it was everyone else who was wrong. A masterclass in manipulation. Then, because that’s what the types do, he threatened to take it all away. “I don’t need all this. I’m done. I’m done with all of it. I don’t want it anymore. You want it, it’s yours. I’m done.” And then he took off the lei and he put it around Jey’s neck, looking tortured while doing so. He cried. Heyman cried. Then he even took the title off and threw it down. And bent to one knee. And then both. Sobbed. Jey reached out to him. And Reigns hit him with a low blow. Jimmy attacked. Solo ripped him off and threw him to the other side of the ring. At three corners laid Roman, Jey, and Jimmy. Solo stood in the center, over the lei that was now on the mat. He stared at it. The crowd swelled in anticipation. Jimmy rushed, but was Spiked. Then Solo picked the lei up himself and examined it. Fans asked for him to put it on. Reigns approached, his hand outstretched. More seeds planted, more questions raised on Solo’s loyalty and just how deep it runs. But when The Usos attacked again, Solo again fought by Roman’s side. For now, it’s clear this was just another ploy from a manipulator who would do anything to be the number one guy. If it wasn’t clear, commentary said it and then Reigns himself screamed it in Jey’s face. You will never be him. You will never be Roman Reigns. Some trial. It ended with The Usos needing to be helped out of the place, with Jimmy even doing a stretcher job and leaving in an ambulance while Jey rushed to be with him. But that wasn’t all. No, Jey left with Jimmy but he came back later looking for Reigns and it became clear what was about to happen. Jey got the better of Sikoa, then got the better of Reigns, then when Solo came back with a chair he took that from him and laid into him with his own damn chair. Jey was like a man possessed. Like the man who pinned Roman Reigns. The WWE Universal championship was left in the ring, so Jey picked it up and got on the mic to say what we’ve all been waiting for — he’s challenging Reigns for his championship. They didn’t make clear that it was for a match at SummerSlam, and Reigns didn’t even accept, as they left it open ended here, but we know where this is headed. Time to get our hearts broken all over again. I’m so ready. All the rest -Sheamus and Austin Theory had one hell of a match for the United States championship, one of the better matches I can remember Theory having in his time on the main roster. Of course, it broke down into an absolute clustermuck with Pretty Deadly getting involved and ensuring Theory scored a rollup victory after Sheamus hit the Brogue Kick on Kit Wilson. This was a hell of a lot of fun. -The powers that be see something in Grayson Waller and if that wasn’t obvious the returning Edge outright said as much during his time on “The Grayson Waller Effect.” They basically acknowledged that they used Edge’s return to ensure Waller could rub elbows with him. The story was Waller wanting Edge to announce his retirement on his show, but instead Edge got a match booked between the two. -AJ Styles and Karrion Kross got to have another match and it felt entirely too rushed and like they just wanted to get to Michin helping take out Scarlett when she tried to assist Kross in another victory. This time, because he had the equalizer, Styles scored the win. Just like he said he would. They just didn’t have enough time to make this feel meaningful. -WWE was obviously pressed for time after the opening Bloodline segment, because they were sprinting through other important segments. Like, for example, setting the table for the WWE women’s championship match at SummerSlam. Asuka got a microphone and hardly said a couple words before Bianca Belair was sprinting in to fight followed by Charlotte Flair sprinting in to fight. They all but said a triple threat will be booked for Detroit early next month. Then, IYO SKY tried to cash in the Money in the Bank contract and failed because it was too chaotic and Belair pulled Bayley out as she was trying to give the briefcase up. This seemed almost bizarre, considering I’m not sure what it did to have SKY fail a cash-in like this. The show was hurt by The Bloodline eating up so much time and having to rush through segments but the big stuff is still so good. Grade: B |
FergieRaww:Vallejo has given up his shirt number twice this preseason alone😩 |
WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Dangerous I thought this section might get into Carmelo Hayes and the Judgment Day. There’s a hook there related to Judgment Day’s current drama, the state of the NXT Championship, and WWE truly integrating NXT into bigger storylines with bigger wrestlers. And they’ll do that next week. But Bron Breakker’s promo that ended the show caught my attention. Besides the meta component that I think WWE does too much but nailed here, it showed Bron’s growth. I can’t imagine Bron cutting this (relatively) calm promo a few months ago. Not even when he made his heel turn. This built on his Raw promo last month. He showed menace, clarity, conviction, and used the audience’s reactions. The long and short of it is Bron saw no new mountains. He climbed every peak and his match with Seth Rollins crystallized it all for him. While we never heard his ultimate point, I don’t need many guesses to figure it out. He wants a new challenge but clearly forgot about someone he attacked many moons ago: Ilja Dragunov. Ilja and Bron never got to tango because Dijak filled up Ilia’s dance card for quite a while. Ilja wanted the NXT Championship and saw Bron standing in his way. Ilja seems less concerned about roadblocks and pathways at the moment and just wants to fight the man who jumped him. I feel that. How this feud plays out ultimately tells us a lot. Bron believes he’s the big fish in a small pond. If Ilja defeats him, then he’s at least one of several big fish in that same pond. It’s a weird if the guy’s whole storyline revolves around him moving on only for someone to come along and say otherwise, and might cut off Bron’s legs before he even finds them on the main roster. But what about Ilja? He clearly wants that NXT championship eventually but I’m not sure losing a big feud with Bron strengthens his argument for a match with the champ down the line. That also touches on something related to Melo and Judgment Day, but I’m saving that. I see lots of potential here between these two, and I really have no idea how it plays out. But it feels important and possibly a crossroads for both men. B-Sides Wild Out It’s wild what the Creed Bros. do in the ring. Julius Creeds’ exploits need no further ink, but Brutus does more than just...drop bombs. This week, he hit a picturesque springboard somersault splash in their do or die match against The Dyad. He also took a mean spill out the ring when the Dyad turned him inside out in a semi Doomsday Device. On the outside of the ring! It’s moves like that, combined with their storytelling ability (Julius worked a bad knee this week) that show why they’re leaving NXT for presumably Raw or SmackDown. Make no mistake, The Dyad cheated for this W. A “masked man” emerged from the crowd and butted heads with Julius. I’m using quotes because Joe Gacy’s absence felt conspicuous. It’s time for Julius & Brutus. And Diamond Mine resembled a shell of its former self for quite some time. This also gives Ivy Nile more time for her own stories and more character development. Which is great for her and NXT’s women’s division. The Creed boys add a different degree of homicide to the main roster’s tag team scene on the mic and in the ring. Their energy feels different compared with everyone else’s, and their move set breaks the mold a bit as well. Props to Julius & Brutus. Can’t wait to see where they land and what they do. Pop 4 Roc Roxanne Perez had Blair Davenport on the ropes. Almost literally but not quite. Roxanne started the match before the bell rang, which longtime readers know I love. It shows urgency and establishes personal stakes in a beef. It’s appropriate for Roxanne and Blair because these two really don’t like each other and Roxanne owed Blair several receipts. They only got about 15 minutes in but they did their thing within that time frame. Despite her early advantage, Roxanne let her emotion get the best of her at one crucial moment. And that’s the difference in the match for both characters: Roxanne is all emotion while Blair plays things cool and calculated. Both women got physical and that played into the ending as well when Blair repeatedly needed Roxanne in the head and got the W. Solid affair that sets the table for more. If I Die 2nite Baron Corbin is done with the gimmicks after last week. He dipped back into the Lone Wolf persona and it paid no dividends. So he wants to find something new and ditch everything we know about him. He’s tired of his status as “just good,” and even threw in a Cortės reference about burning all the boats and no going back. Fun times and props for the line. I’m intrigued. American Hustle We all knew this, right? Mustafa Ali wants his shot at Wes Lee and he challenged the North American champ this week after defeating Tyler Bate in a very dope match. These two work well together but I also presume we got more coming from Tyler on this front. No way he just lets this title shot happen. Right? I’m asking a lot of questions! Slum Beautiful Kelani Jordan impressed with her gymnast background. It’ll take some time to truly get into her rhythm, flow, and character, but she showed promise against Tatum Paxley. And the way she hit the Stundog Millionaire made me smile. I don’t know if she gains anything siding with Dana Brooke at this point but we’ll see how it works. Cora Jade challenged Kelani afterward, while also insulting Dana because of course. The match with Kelani happens on Cora’s time though, as most heels usually handle things. Apparently her time is next week. Mama Said Knock You Out I never dug Raw Underground but I got into NXT’s version. I really liked the atmosphere that contributed to the violence, as Eddy Thorpe and Damon Kemp fought. I don’t even know how to explain it, although I will point out Gabe Stevenson thinking his gold medals held magical powers like a Mario mushroom is the funniest thing I’ve seen in quite some time. The suplex showcase Gabe engaged in following Eddy’s TKO added to that violence. Just look at that clip! That’s wild. I don’t know, maybe it just caught me in a good moment this week. No Song Nope, I got nothing for As the Don Turns. Stacks visited Tony D’Angelo this week and denied betraying the Don. He said he made a deal with Joe Coffey that he said works for all of them: If he beats Joe next week, all charges against the Don go away. If he loses, then the Don stays in jail until trial. As Tony aptly pointed out, that’s basically three on one. Which makes me think someone returns and helps Stacks. Perhaps Two Dimes? Because, yeah, this looks like an easy win for Coffey and Gallus. The story is getting a little too goofy for me so hopefully they land this plane sooner rather than later. The Promise Lyra Valkyria is showing promise. She had her moments along the way but never really put it together. This feud with Jacy Jayne might do wonders for her as it relates to character and in-ring skill. They didn’t get a lot of time this week since the feud is no way over, but Lyra picked up the first W in chapter one. Skinny Suge The NXT champ chose violence: He invited Judgment Day to NXT next week. Finn Balor responded in kind and in the affirmative. I doubt he comes alone and I can’t wait to see it. Stop the Violence I’m still not on the Von Wagner train, but I give the man his due for getting over. Von demolished Big Body Javi this week after Big Body talked trash. The crowd loved it and seem fully on board the Von express. Solid show packed with plenty of storytelling. Not all of it worked for me (the Family/Gallus saga) but most of it did. Plus, we got a big farewell to a bedrock NXT tag team. The Creeds left their mark in a hell of final match in the territory. Next week looks hot as well, so what are you excited for? |
andrewbaba44:Where did they rate him as the number 1 midfielder? He will be a starter for sure sha, he is good like that. |
FergieRaww:Let's see what Bastard Ancelotti will do sha |
andrewbaba44:Before Ancelotti even came to Madrid he was considered as one of the best Midfielders in La Liga...no dey talk like say na last season wey him breakout. |
Devvy4:Anyhow sha I just want him to ball here. |
phr0nesis:Him go soon find out ![]() |
andrewbaba44:Do you cap for a living or is it part time? |
ErenXSatoru:Them go quote you oh Them no dey forget things for this thread |
FergieRaww:That's if we actually play him in Midfield... I'd prefer him in midfield too. |
BlueAngel444:Wetin be this ![]() |
FergieRaww:wetin concern Mane and Kane apart from similar spelling? If Kane was in France too Mbappe won't be outscoring him if both stay fit, it's not rocket science |
Rajmeista:Are you serious? I must have missed the news. Are you sure? 🤔 |
BlueAngel444:Mbappe will never smell 700k here bruh |
FergieRaww:Kane is a 3year or 4 year plan that will also be like a mentor for Endrick in that position. Put Mbappe and Kane in the same league and he isn't outscoring him if they both stay fit. |
FergieRaww:Don't be naive bro Money was the main deciding factor. Simple and short. |
Rajmeista:Lol bro you need to keep up...we are not signing any RB this season and Tobias is gone. |
FergieRaww:Yes, Kane is a pure 9 and not someone that will be dragging half spaces with Vinicius... Do you know that if we start Vinicius, Rodrygo and Mbappe together we are starting 3 left wingers at the same time? How is that balanced? If they succeed in getting him I'll wish him the best tho and hope he succeeds for the sake of the club |
BlueAngel444:I'm not among those that want him here anymore but his salary would be reduced heavily if he comes here...we have a wage bill system. |
BlueAngel444:40? I heard 90 Either way, money was the deciding factor for him and not all those presidential calls and what not. |
monerozi5590:He has an add-on for 90m if he finishes the time on his contract |
