00:00So I cracked up at the start of this week's episode of SmackDown, which is a me problem.
00:03There was no reason to laugh.
00:04But Cody Rhodes and Nick Aldis bumped into each other,
00:07and Cody was like, what is going to happen to say Nick Aldis?
00:10And Nick Aldis basically went, well, Gunther's going to turn up,
00:12and he's going to let us know the stipulation,
00:13because, of course, you have a tag team title match next week.
00:17Tag team title!
00:18You have a world title match next week.
00:20They may as well have gone, exposition, exposition.
00:22Cody then bumped into the Usos, and of course, they're allowed to be on SmackDown,
00:25because Jey Uso is in a King of the Ring match,
00:27and essentially, Jey went, I am going to win the King of the Ring
00:30and come after your WWE title.
00:32And Cody was like, well, I hope you're doing it for you, and not Roman Reigns.
00:36I was like, Cody, you don't watch this show.
00:37They're definitely doing it for Roman.
00:39So basically, Cody is losing friends faster than I lost my hair.
00:42And hello, my friends.
00:43Welcome to Ups and Downs, the only wrestling review show you need.
00:46And that's basically the premise here.
00:47We're going to wiggle our fingers around, which is not a euphemism.
00:49If we like something, we give it an up.
00:51If we don't like something, we give it a down.
00:52But it's not the end of the world.
00:54Remember, saying a down isn't like, oh my gosh, it's the worst thing.
00:57I've never seen in my life.
00:58It just meant on this particular given day, it wasn't for me.
01:01And if it was for you, I'll do the dance of joy.
01:04Let's go.
01:04Jey Cargill then lied to us because she cut a quick promo saying,
01:07oh, I'm going to win the Queen of the Ring.
01:09And then she had a Queen of the Ring match, and she lost.
01:12This was super duper fun, though, because it was Lyra Valkyria versus Sol Ruka
01:15versus Charlotte for there versus Jey Cargill.
01:17So really, you could have picked any of them,
01:19and I think it would have made sense.
01:20And even though these four ways have been a bit ridiculous,
01:22because it was WWE going, we don't want some people to lose
01:26in terms of rocking them out on television.
01:28Couple of thumbs.
01:29I would hazard a guess as well that maybe Jey Cargill screws over Charlotte Flair
01:32in the next round.
01:34And also, when we had Charlotte and Jade going at it in the ring,
01:36these fans seem pretty pumped.
01:38That's absolutely a match you can do down the line.
01:40But yes, it was just quite a joy to watch, to be honest,
01:43because it was fun.
01:44And we got to the finish.
01:46It was you do a move, I do a move.
01:47And then because it's three other people,
01:48they'll do a move, and we'll be screwed for the one, two, three.
01:51Got it? Good.
01:52Of course, halfway through all of this, the baddies got involved.
01:54Then Tiffany Stratton was here, and Alexa Bliss was here,
01:56and they all fought off to the back.
01:58Well, I'll try and get this right, but I'll probably get it wrong.
02:00Because so absolutely got the soul snatch.
02:01So she was going to get the victory.
02:03When Lyra Valkyria zoomed in,
02:04because she was like, I'm not going to let you do that.
02:06When Charlotte was here, she hit the natural selection onto Lyra.
02:09Somehow Lyra just went, I don't have anything to do with that.
02:12She tried to hit Charlotte with a move,
02:14but ipso facto, let's get to the last bit.
02:16Charlotte was able to get the figure eight on Lyra Valkyria,
02:18and Lyra tapped out.
02:20So it's kind of a sucky week, if you were a Lyra fan,
02:22because she lost to Sol Rukron Raw as well.
02:24But I have a feeling she may be going heel soon,
02:27and this is the justification.
02:29It really was super entertaining stuff, though,
02:30and I thought Charlotte Flair getting the win,
02:32and being cheered just goes to show how well she's rehabbed her character
02:35over the last year or so.
02:37And also, she is literally the queen.
02:39She calls herself the queen,
02:40so she now has a pretty good bet that she could become a queen.
02:43But again, next week, I think she'll probably get screwed over,
02:45because I think it's Liv Morgan versus Charlotte Flair.
02:48I've also just said that out loud.
02:49I could be wrong.
02:50But it is getting up.
02:51Like I say, most of these four ways,
02:53or actually, not all of them,
02:55they've done the job.
02:55Sure was the point out as well that before all this,
02:57the commentators told us that in Italy,
02:59Rhea Ripley had hurt her knee,
03:00so she's being evaluated.
03:02Don't know if that's real.
03:02Don't know if it's a work,
03:03so I hope she is okay.
03:05When, yes, backstage,
03:06the Burnies, Tiffany, Stratton,
03:07and Chelsea Green all fell out
03:08before Chelsea chased them all with a kendo stick,
03:11which meant later on we were going to do the tag.
03:13Kind of feel like we've been in fast forward
03:15with this Chelsea-Tiffany stuff.
03:16A couple of weeks ago,
03:17Stratton was all like,
03:18I shall never do anything with you,
03:20Chelsea Green.
03:21Then we got to this SmackDown,
03:22and she's just going to do it.
03:24This is when Jacobin2 was on SmackDown,
03:26and even though the Usos were like,
03:27why are you here?
03:28And we would learn that Roman Reigns had sent him,
03:31we're going to give it a damn,
03:32because why did we do this big song and dance
03:34about Gunther being on SmackDown
03:36and jumping ship
03:37when Jacob Fatouka just turned up
03:39after an invitation from Roman Reigns?
03:41I don't know why this bothers me so much,
03:42but it does just kill the flipping brand split,
03:44so I am going to give that a damn.
03:46But, yes, the Usos are like,
03:47you know the play, Jacob.
03:49Jey Uso has to do this by himself
03:50when Jake's all like,
03:52yeah, but I ain't here for you,
03:53and I'm going to take care of my own business.
03:55So that's what he went and did.
03:56We also got a video for Blake Monroe,
03:57who is still coming.
03:59Let's hope we don't get into Veer territory here.
04:01But she went after Rhea Ripley,
04:02she went after Tiffany Stratton,
04:04and this evening she was going after Charlotte Flair.
04:06It's been quite a weird call-up for Blake Monroe,
04:09but I'm sure when we do get into it,
04:11we'll be totally fine.
04:12When Gunther just walked in
04:14and found Nick Aldis and said,
04:15oh, hi, here's my stipulation.
04:17Given how crappy your referees are,
04:19I want a special guest official,
04:21so that's going to happen next week.
04:22Now, this was just to sort of play out
04:23throughout the show,
04:24because later on,
04:25especially after Curry Rose and Sami Zayn
04:27had fallen out,
04:28which we will talk about,
04:29Gunther once again said,
04:30and I picked my referee,
04:31it's going to be Sami Zayn.
04:32And I tell you,
04:33it's going to be the reason
04:35Cody Rhodes does lose that championship,
04:37because after the fact
04:37Cody and Sami fell out again,
04:39over the fact that
04:40Cody was not happy about this,
04:42I like it as well,
04:43because in terms of a character,
04:44that's exactly what Gunther would do.
04:46He's not going to go,
04:47give me a hardcore death match,
04:48is he?
04:49He's the ring general,
04:50and he thinks the match is sacred.
04:52He probably thinks blood
04:53is like the pigs.
04:55I don't know what I mean.
04:55I'm just going to throw my usual reminder in here as well,
04:57because I love Damien Priest,
04:58and I love R-Truth,
04:59I love Finn Balor,
05:00and I like the fact they had a bit of a
05:01ha-ha,
05:02wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
05:03We're having a mini Judgment Day reunion here,
05:05even though Damien Priest and Finn Balor
05:07were not friends,
05:08but they haven't got announced next week on the show
05:10that it's Damien Priest and R-Truth
05:12taking on the MFTs for the tag team titles.
05:15I think this was going on
05:16since the day I was born.
05:18I'm going to keep ranting and raving about this
05:20as I do every single week,
05:21just merge the tag team titles,
05:23go and look at the timeline
05:24when the Raw and SmackDown belts
05:25were pushed together,
05:26and we only had one set of men's tag team titles,
05:29it just worked out better still.
05:31So look,
05:31it was a nice segment,
05:32and again,
05:32I think on SmackDown,
05:33Finn Balor could do a great job.
05:35We just need to do something new
05:36with these belts down.
05:38And actually,
05:38I'm going to give a down
05:39for the women's tag team titles as well,
05:40because even though we've got Paige and Brie Bella
05:42taking on Lainey Reed and Fallon Henley here,
05:44which was a good match,
05:46they kind of just exist at the moment,
05:48and the fact that Felity Influence lost,
05:50I don't know,
05:51they had some momentum,
05:52and that kind of feels like momentum
05:53has gone away a little bit.
05:54I am exaggerating slightly,
05:56but it's the same deal,
05:57right?
05:58Just copy and paste it,
05:59we need to do something more
06:00with the tag team scene,
06:01so it is going to get a down,
06:02but yes,
06:03in terms of the match,
06:04I actually think it's the best one
06:05that Paige and Brie Bella have had.
06:06I still can't handle Brie Mode,
06:09especially because WWE
06:10is doing two of my pet peeves.
06:12You get Brie Mode,
06:13and you break down as a human,
06:15but then Brie Bella's entrance theme
06:17segues into Paige's theme,
06:18I swear,
06:19in many ways,
06:20it does come back to duo wrestling,
06:22we have gone back to 2006.
06:23I like the finish as well,
06:24because in many ways,
06:25Brie and Paige use their veteran Wiley skills,
06:28which is what Fatal Influence
06:29has been coming at them for,
06:30saying,
06:31you're so old,
06:32but basically,
06:33JC Jane got involved,
06:34when Brie Bella was doing some distracting,
06:36but then JC got caught by the referees,
06:38the referees said,
06:39you must leave,
06:40JC Jane,
06:40had the best meltdown exit
06:42you ever seen in your life,
06:43when Paige was able to reverse
06:44the most devastating move.
06:45In all of sports entertainment,
06:47the surprise roll-up,
06:48when Fatal Influence is about to win,
06:50and the reason she was able to reverse it,
06:52is because Brie Bella went,
06:53and the referee's not looking,
06:54I'm going to push you,
06:56this is like the second or third time
06:57she has done this,
06:58she got the one,
06:59two,
06:59three,
06:59so I would also hazard a guess,
07:01when Paige and Brie Bella
07:02do lose those championships,
07:03it becomes Nikki returns,
07:05and the Bella twins get back together,
07:06and they blame it all on Paige.
07:08I mean,
07:08that's wild fantasy booking,
07:09but I've said it now,
07:10and I stand by it.
07:11But once again,
07:11I am going to give the match an up,
07:12like it wasn't the best thing
07:13you've ever seen in your life,
07:14but it was entertaining,
07:15I just think the scene in general,
07:17both men and women,
07:18needs a little bit more oomph,
07:20so maybe there is around the corner,
07:22but yeah,
07:22decent match up.
07:23Sami Zayn was then talking to,
07:25I'm basically dead,
07:26Johnny Gargano,
07:26and maybe the end of Johnny's story,
07:28is he does come back to life,
07:29and help Sami Zayn with Cody Rhodes,
07:31I do not know,
07:32when we just had the most,
07:34looterous segment with Dan Housen,
07:35who's basically becoming,
07:37an accidental murderer.
07:38Because after he had killed The Miz last week,
07:39Kit Wilson dragged him in,
07:41and said,
07:41look what you've done to The Miz,
07:42he can only speak in catchphrases,
07:45and he was going through his catchphrases,
07:47from the last 20 years.
07:48At one point Dan Housen went,
07:49oh yeah,
07:49I recognise that one,
07:51it's from 2010,
07:52it was utterly stupid,
07:53and therefore I loved it.
07:54Kit Wilson couldn't handle it either,
07:56so he got a kendo stick,
07:57I think it was,
07:58that just happened to be there,
07:59he went to hit Dan Housen,
08:01and he electrocuted himself as well,
08:03and I'm not kidding,
08:04he fell on the floor,
08:06and he was juddering,
08:07and Dan Housen just stepped over him,
08:09and went,
08:09excuse me,
08:10I've got to go.
08:11Honestly,
08:11if you'd never watched wrestling before,
08:13you would probably think,
08:14you've accidentally ingested some drugs,
08:16but I love it,
08:16never stop doing it,
08:18it is so damn ridiculous,
08:20and I need it in my life,
08:21because,
08:22that's goofy wrestling,
08:23and it is,
08:24for life.
08:24We really went from the ridiculous,
08:26to the sublime as well,
08:27because Sami Zayn then did come to the ring,
08:29and he did his whole spiel,
08:30saying,
08:30man,
08:30I'm the last good guy,
08:31my ride and died fans,
08:33and also Cody Rhodes,
08:34I would like to talk to you,
08:35so out came Cody,
08:36and Sam was like,
08:37let's just go through recent actions here,
08:39and why I am so damn mad,
08:41you thought I did the wrong thing,
08:42when I allowed Gunther to choke you out,
08:44but the following week,
08:45I tried to protect you,
08:46and what happened,
08:47I got slammed on my ass,
08:49you didn't,
08:50so dare I say it,
08:51I think something is going on.
08:52Cody kind of scoffed at that,
08:54I was all like,
08:54dude,
08:54you're just describing pro wrestling here,
08:56it's a hazardous sport,
08:57and these things happen,
08:58when Sam went all the way back to WrestleMania 40,
09:01and he was like,
09:01who helped you get to WrestleMania 40,
09:03who was me,
09:04who came and celebrated with you,
09:05when you won that belt at WrestleMania 40,
09:07it was me,
09:08and now you've totally forgotten about that,
09:10look at a John Cena,
09:11look at a Kevin Owens,
09:12look at a Randy Orton,
09:13they all turned their back on you,
09:15so now while you're insinuating,
09:16I'm at fault here,
09:18once again,
09:19if we look at the common denominator,
09:20it's Cody Rhodes,
09:21Broads then got pissed off,
09:22because he was like,
09:23listen,
09:23I never got to have it on this conversation with those guys,
09:25so let's do it now,
09:27you are the problem here,
09:28Sami Zayn,
09:29because you are a jealous Jane,
09:30because you want the WWE title,
09:32and you can't handle the fact,
09:34that as long as I,
09:35and Cody Rhodes,
09:35am the champion,
09:36you are never going to get anywhere near it,
09:38Sami was hurt by that,
09:40you could see it in his face,
09:41in fact he was so damn mad,
09:42that he slapped Cody Rhodes right around the face,
09:44and Cody took an age,
09:45to slap him back,
09:46and man,
09:47Zayn could not handle that,
09:48because he bailed from the ring,
09:49and he got a steel chair,
09:51and he thought about walloping Cody,
09:52when he did walk away,
09:54and Cody was all like,
09:55are we good man,
09:56are we good,
09:56I was like,
09:57no Cody,
09:57you're not good,
09:58and again,
09:59Gunther after this,
10:00was going to announce him,
10:01as a special guest referee,
10:02and he is going to screw over one Cody throat,
10:04so I just thought this was excellent,
10:06it's proper shades of grey,
10:07and again,
10:07what both guys are saying,
10:08is justifiable,
10:10you can just pick your side,
10:11and you can see Sami Zayn,
10:13turning to the dark side,
10:14because he can't handle the fact,
10:15that nobody does understand him,
10:17I really do think this program,
10:18throughout the summer,
10:19could be absolutely brilliant,
10:21if we keep heading in this direction,
10:22and the performances man,
10:24they just totally vocally get it,
10:26I am going to give it an up,
10:27it is the best thing on Smackdown,
10:29we didn't find out,
10:30what Jacob V2 was on Smackdown for,
10:32because yep,
10:32he went to Soto Sakao,
10:34and said man,
10:34you need to come back to the bloodline,
10:36Roman Reigns needs you,
10:38and actually this kind of ties in,
10:39because the way that Soto responded to this,
10:41like man,
10:41why are you doing all of his flipping dirty work,
10:44he's the worst person ever,
10:45and Jacob being like,
10:46yeah,
10:47well you know,
10:47I do understand,
10:48but I picked my side,
10:49so I'll do what I've got to do,
10:50including beating your ass,
10:51if I have to,
10:52like all of it was interesting to watch,
10:54but there's this small asterisk,
10:56so I'm like,
10:57this is not what I want Jacob V2 to be doing,
10:59he was a wonderful crazed lunatic,
11:01and now he is Roman Reigns' lap dog,
11:04so Soto Sakao,
11:05who is meant to be a heel,
11:06was saying things,
11:07and I was like,
11:07Soto,
11:08I agree with every damn word,
11:09I'm also making it clear,
11:10that we are going back to bloodline versus bloodline,
11:12and really that's where this does lose me,
11:14only because I've seen it before,
11:16and I think Jacob V2 being the man,
11:18and going back to being an absolute insane human being,
11:21would just have been better,
11:22so I'm kind of torn between a rock and a hard place here,
11:25because I thought Soto and Jacob played this perfectly well,
11:28and they totally understood what they had to do,
11:30but the story,
11:31I'm just struggling to get into it,
11:33so look,
11:34I am going to give them up,
11:35because they were able to draw me in like a fishing reel,
11:37more than I expected,
11:39but at the same time,
11:40we have still neutered Jacob V2,
11:42and it's still the bloodline,
11:43I just don't want to go back to the bloodline,
11:45I just don't,
11:46and that's not me saying WWE shouldn't do it,
11:48I'm just saying I,
11:49Simon Miller on January the 13th,
11:51whatever it is,
11:52we've been there,
11:53we've done that,
11:53but we'd see it again,
11:55down.
11:55Speaking of crazy stuff though,
11:56it was then Axiom versus Phoenix,
11:58for the trip break,
11:59who's a weight title,
12:00there's no way I'm going to be able to justify this,
12:02just go and watch it at some point today,
12:04my friends,
12:05you'll have a whale of a good old time,
12:07it was a fantastic match.
12:09Axiom missed the golden ratio at one point,
12:10so got brain busted for his troubles,
12:12when of course we got the Spanish fly,
12:14as soon as Phoenix realized they were in the corner,
12:16he hit the Mexican muscle buster,
12:17and got the one,
12:18two,
12:18three,
12:19even the flipping undertaker tweeted out,
12:21going,
12:21oh my gosh,
12:21I love AAA so much,
12:23thank you so much,
12:23respecting the brand,
12:25I'm just going to give it an up,
12:26like,
12:26there's nothing I can say about it,
12:28you have two great wrestlers,
12:29they went out there,
12:30they had a great wrestling match,
12:31and you need this on a three hour Smackdown,
12:33because it didn't feel like anything else on the show,
12:36so it plugs you back in when it comes to energy,
12:38thumb up.
12:39We also went right into a Trick Williams promo after this,
12:42which does make sense,
12:43because he's very good at it,
12:44and little Yachty is still hanging out by his corner,
12:46so fair play to that guy,
12:48and after a while Trick made it very clear,
12:50I wanted to go through the king of the ring,
12:52and I did not,
12:53so now I'm pretty pissed off,
12:54however,
12:55I'm still king of the new school,
12:57so I'm going to be great.
12:58Now of course Ricky Saints and Carmella Hayes both walked out here,
13:00and got into a charred argument,
13:02because they were like,
13:02well I beat him,
13:03and the other guy was like,
13:04I would beat him,
13:05and then you remembered there was a draw,
13:06because they are 1-1-1,
13:08but they all won a shot at the US title,
13:10which is why next week they shall have one last scrap,
13:12and whoever wins that,
13:13becomes the number one contender.
13:15Works for me.
13:16We then kind of did copy everything we did with Gunther Cody and Sami Zayn last week,
13:19because,
13:20I think it was Ricky Saints,
13:21pushed Trick Williams into Carmella,
13:23and that triggered a brawl,
13:25when Trick Williams realised he was the father here,
13:27he whooped all their asses,
13:28and basically said,
13:29listen, you sort it out,
13:30and this US champion will be waiting.
13:32It really was nice and simple,
13:33I do think we need to get into the actual matches sooner rather than later,
13:36but I am going to give it an up,
13:38Trick Williams as the champion works,
13:39and every single thing that Carmella Hayes and Ricky Saints has done together,
13:42has totally ticked a box,
13:44so yeah,
13:45there's not that much to say about it,
13:46but we are getting the payoff next week,
13:48and listen,
13:48that could also end in a draw,
13:50or some kind of a schmoz,
13:51because if we get to Night of Champions,
13:53we have a three-way,
13:54I ain't going to be mad about that,
13:55and actually,
13:56maybe that's how you do take the belt off Trick,
13:58without him being pinned,
13:59as always,
14:00that is a get-out-jail-free card,
14:01but it's Trick Williams,
14:02you should be doing that kind of stuff,
14:04I'm giving it an up,
14:05it feels new,
14:06it feels fresh,
14:07plus,
14:07it is new guys,
14:08doing big things on SmackDown,
14:09no problem with me.
14:10Solis Decoa then found Royce Keyes,
14:12and basically relayed all the information about Jacob Fatou,
14:14because the bloodline are coming,
14:16I guess Royce forgot that he got totally mugged off by the MFTs,
14:19and essentially Solis Decoa said,
14:21we are going to war,
14:22and we need you,
14:23and I still think Keyes is going to join,
14:26which actually is interesting from a story point of view,
14:28but also makes no sense,
14:30given what has happened to him in the past,
14:32we wait and see,
14:33but if this does go down,
14:34I tell you,
14:35Damien Priest is going to be pretty pissed off.
14:37Well,
14:37it was indeed Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green,
14:39versus Meachin and BFab,
14:40and I am going to give it down to the fact Tiffany Stratton just changed her mind,
14:43only because I think WWE is doing this too much recently,
14:47there's so much room to tell stories,
14:50and sometimes we just turn up and go,
14:51we're going to do it anyway.
14:52The good news is though,
14:53is I actually quite enjoyed this,
14:54because I think the more time we give to Meachin and BFab on TV,
14:57they are getting better in front of our eyes,
14:59and also Jake Cargill absolutely is going after the US title,
15:03because after Paul Chelsea had been beating and beating and beating,
15:06she was like,
15:06oh my gosh,
15:07I can take Tiffany Stratton's hand,
15:09she was going to give her a hot tag,
15:10and Jake Cargill teleported in,
15:12she pulled her off the apron,
15:14Meachin was like,
15:14well that's awesome for me,
15:15she hit the,
15:16what's it called,
15:17stars clash,
15:17onto Chelsea Green,
15:19who very sadly go after BFab,
15:20who's not the legal person,
15:22one,
15:22two,
15:22three,
15:23Meachin just got to win.
15:24Now Tiffany Stratton had the worst plan,
15:25because she tried to attack the baddies afterwards,
15:28but it was three on one,
15:29so she got laid out with the jaded,
15:31so once again,
15:32there you go,
15:32you can do Jake Cargill,
15:33versus Tiffany Stratton for the US title,
15:36I got no problem with it,
15:37I do think you could add,
15:38a little bit more pizzazz to this story,
15:40but,
15:41it's going where,
15:42we need it to go,
15:43and actually the baddies as a group right now,
15:45they are finding their feet,
15:46so I am going to give it an up,
15:48it was alright,
15:48it worked for me.
15:49I'm still not sure about this Julia,
15:50Keanu James stuff,
15:51I actually think WWE pulled the trigger,
15:53because they had to pull the trigger,
15:55but one of the reasons they had to pull the trigger,
15:57is because what they were doing,
15:58well it was just nothing,
15:59nothing was going on,
16:00but basically Julia told Keanu,
16:02I only needed your help to acclimatise to the USA,
16:05not how to fight,
16:06and Keanu James was like,
16:07you use me you son of a gun,
16:09so Julia was like,
16:09I just told you,
16:10I know how to fight,
16:12and she gave her a slap,
16:13I do believe they're going to have a fight next week,
16:15I mean it's fine,
16:17once again,
16:17it wasn't really going anywhere,
16:19so WWE probably should have done something.
16:21This is where Sami Zayn made it very clear,
16:23that he's probably not going to be a fair referee,
16:25because he heard Cody Rhodes saying some horrible words about him,
16:28when we got to our King of the Ring match,
16:29which is also the main event,
16:31Royce Keys taking on Finn Balor,
16:32taking on Jey Uso,
16:33taking on LA Knight,
16:35and boy howdy,
16:36is there a lot to talk about.
16:37I love the fact that these three guys teamed up on Royce Keys,
16:40to give him a shield powerbomb through the table,
16:42and it also tied in,
16:43because Finn Balor had this match,
16:44while with the Coupe de Gras,
16:45and Royce Keys like a flipping zombie,
16:47came back from the dead and stopped it,
16:49but yes,
16:50if I was going to sell this to you in headline form,
16:53it did end with Jey Uso beating LA Knight,
16:55and now a lot of people are pretty pissed off.
16:57And do not forget as well,
16:58that LA Knight had this one,
16:59when Soto Sokoa gave him the spike,
17:01and that's when,
17:02dun dun dun,
17:03Royce Keys was able to hit the ultimate spine buster,
17:06which WWE actually called,
17:08the USB,
17:09you cannot call it the USB,
17:11that's ridiculous,
17:11what's he going to do next week?
17:12Plug in?
17:13No.
17:14Now of course Royce Keys didn't know anything about this,
17:16but it was still Soto Sokoa helping Royce Keys,
17:18and just when you thought Royce Keys was going to win,
17:20well he didn't,
17:21because Jey Uso flew off the top rope,
17:23he splashed him,
17:24but he didn't pin Royce,
17:26he pinned LA Knight,
17:27he got the one,
17:27two,
17:27three,
17:28and now he's going to the semi-finals,
17:30to take on Siobhan Evans,
17:31I did not have that on my bingo card.
17:34Now I totally understand if you are,
17:35I write about this,
17:36because so many people wanted LA Knight to win the King of the Ring,
17:38I was one of them,
17:39we talked about it,
17:40but given that WWE has let us so hard into the fact,
17:43that Jey Uso probably isn't going to win the tournament,
17:46and that we will do Jey Uso versus LA Knight,
17:48well I think WWE did this,
17:50so LA Knight will beat Jey Uso in the singles feud,
17:53because you know the deal when it comes to WWE,
17:56good grief,
17:56they love 50-50 booking.
17:58So I'm actually not as upset about it,
17:59as I thought I would have been,
18:00because again,
18:01even if LA Knight had won the King of the Ring,
18:03he wasn't going to beat Roman Reigns,
18:05but if he does get a victory over Jey Uso,
18:07and that's how he gets to Roman,
18:09well I'll be happy with that too,
18:10so again I'm playing the long game here,
18:11but I'm just convinced that is what's going to happen,
18:14and it wouldn't surprise me,
18:15if the final of the King of the Ring,
18:16was actually over Femi versus Javon Evans,
18:18which really is what WWE should do,
18:20two brand new guys,
18:22but Brock Lesnar may get involved too,
18:24but I'm going to give it an up,
18:25mostly because I just like the main event,
18:27and also,
18:28I say this quietly,
18:29but I mean it,
18:30I quite like Jey Uso,
18:32in fact screw the quite,
18:33I do like him,
18:34I find it very entertaining,
18:36I just so happen to like LA Knight 2,
18:38up.
18:38This was a way better SmackDown,
18:40that has been over the last few weeks,
18:41I think the King of the Ring has done a great job,
18:43in kind of focusing WWE,
18:45let's just keep everything crossed,
18:46over Femi does win,
18:48I don't think he's going to,
18:49but that means it would be,
18:50Javon versus Roman Reigns,
18:52I have no idea what the plan is,
18:54giving it an up.
18:55Now my friends,
18:56please do let me know,
18:56what you thought about last night's episode of SmackDown,
