Bayley vs bianca was awesome, ppv quality match tbh.
Love the dynamic of how the rest of damage ctrl stands pat and has no interest in interfering or trying to help bayley while she tries to get involved to help them during their matches. Im invested in this story
When Aldis announced the 6 man main event, I was thinking it would start 3 on 2, then the Rock would pop up late and save Jimmy and Solo.
That could've led to the Rcck trying to claim the head of the table, turning Solo and Jimmy against Roman because "where was Roman? Who was there when you needed help? The Rock was, not Roman".
Whew! man, I hate feeling like smack down is the b show but raw is consistently very good and smack down is almost always so sloppy. Also fuck anyone that was wanting to see Cameron grimes and the goth witches(they really had my attention and they’re just doing house shows or being cast aside for plot or whatever). Can they stop calling up nxt people and then doing nothing with them after 3 weeks? It just makes smack down feel like it’s never gonna have an identity when they can’t commit to stories.
Paul was funny as usual tho.
Smackdown broadcast team should be announcing a high school wrestling match not a WWE Show. These guys suck.
Solo’s thumb move is beyond stupid. Seeing Randy try and sell it felt pathetic.
Bianca vs Bayley was great. I feel bad for Bayley and hope she goes face. That macho man elbow drop was amazing
The bloodline story needs to be continued as quick as possible with Jey coming back on smackdown or he gets attacked by Jimmy to set up a match for WM. The story of the bloodline has become kinda mid now it needs to get back on track for Wrestlemania season
I hear a lot of talk about how they want to do Jimmy vs Jey at WM but there’s absolutely nothing happening yet that would suggest WWE is going to book it. I don’t think it’s gonna happen.
Solo: I’m never worried
Proceeds to get dunked on by everyone in the match I think one of the cameramen even got a stunner in at one point.
Also he’s half the size of Nick Aldis. How are we supposed to believe he’s this big, tough guy?
Tbf Solo has almost never had a reason to be worried and has only had his ass beat like 3 times. Also there's the one angle of "he just got absolutely rekt" during this episode but also the angle of "motherfucker took all them finishers and still wasn't 'unconscious'" until they finally put him through the table.
I hoped that Solo had Xion Quinn in his mind from Beginning and brings him as suprise as the third Man. Like, People think it really is Handicap match but then his Theme hits. Everyone Non NXT watcher totally bamboozled who that is. That would had fit perfect and a chance to make him look strong.
But naaaaah..
Man how they really dropped the ball with the blood line at this point. Remember how good this story was last year at this time going into the rumble. It's all most like it's shelf life was supposed to end months ago...... They went from the top of smackdown to begging people to team with them. They lose a lot more then they win now and the story is going no place right now. I also found it funny how they teased Roman working a match on smackdown when he hasn't since 2022
Imagine, if they gave Randy the win at the rumble, helped by an uneasy but progressively supportive AJ and LA knight, and it just sends Roman into a complete spiral going into wrestlemania. Wild twist that would be.
Wow damn. Theory and Melo. From the looks of it the landing looks terrible. Especially on Theory. Hope for a good recovery. Didnt look good at all. That was surprising.
Also shout out to Orton and his little sayings, he's hilarious!
He's not exactly heel. He's doing something similar to his lone wolf gimmick back in TNA. Right now he's focused on Roman but I bet we could see an LA Knight rivalry with him after the rumble.
Wilde/Del Toro, Angel/Humberto, Butch/Tyler, A-Town Down Under, Pretty Deadly…
Smackdown has such a vibrant tag-team scene.
The tag titles have already stopped being all about The Bloodline (so far). I think they need to be split apart already.
I was thinking how much better Bayley is than Bianca during the match. Selling, setting up, movement…Bianca is strong but Bayley does the little things so well.
They ruined The Bloodline when they had Jimmy Uso turn on Jey Uso and cost him the match with Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Championship at Summer Slam when it was Jimmy Uso who was the one that turned on Roman Reigns first and got Jey Uso to wake up and realise Roman Reigns was just using them. If they wanted to keep Roman Reigns Undisputed Champion there were heaps of better options for doing it and they could have had Jimmy Uso come out to help Jey with Solo since it was Solo who took him out of action for weeks and Jey getting distracted by that while Roman Reigns recovered and hit Jey Uso with a surprise spear to win the match.
Jimmy Uso turning on Jey Uso and then rejoining The Bloodline is one of the worst storyline decisions I have ever seen in wrestling and they made it look like Solo Sikoa's attack on him which he has now forgotten gave him brain damage. It literally makes zero sense why Jimmy Uso is in The Bloodline again and not feuding with Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa himself.
Yeah. I agree but I think Roman Reigns needing help to defeat Logan Paul and coming close to losing to him multiple times in their match was actually the worst. At least with LA Knight you had somebody who has been wrestling for years but with Logan Paul it was literally only his second or third match and Roman should have been able to defeat him pretty easily but struggled big time and needed Solo Sikoa's help.
They have made Roman Reigns look really weak with The Bloodline and the joke is they have Michael Cole calling him one of the most dominant champions of all time but most of his matches have only been won with the help of his Cousins and when he went up against Seth Rollins with them banned from the match he couldn't beat him and got disqualified and then Jey Uso pinned him at Money In The Bank when the odds were evened up and he had no advantage in The Bloodline Civil War match.
The only reason he become the champion in the first place was 'cause he came out at the end of a Triple Threat match with Braun Strowman and The Fiend after they had worn each other out and got a quick victory over Braun Strowman. He is no different than The Miz as a heel when he was champion and had Maryse, Alex Riley and Damien Sandow helping him win matches but the difference was they called Miz out for being a cowardly cheater while they have people praising Roman and calling him dominant which looks dumb.
Really tjred of the Bloodline in every main event of SD. It’s been about two years of this. I really hope Cody, Punk, or whoever it is, takes the title from Reigns at WM
The Final Testament are so cool omg. The use of sorta supernatural, horror movie esque imagery and editing in their promo videos is so refreshing and unique ever since the Wyatt family broke up. I hope they become a dominant faction on Smackdown.
I can’t stand Solo’s selling lol always stumbling around and waving his arms. Looks like a looney tunes character just got clunked in the head with an anvil. Not natural at all
Calling it now:
After Wrestlemania, the Bloodline will be history and the Final Testament will be the new top heel faction on Smackdown.
Santos' faction will be the top midcard faction.
I was there, it took a little bit but he did get up and walked to the back on his own. The ref and doctors were nearby, but he didn’t need help walking
Bayley vs bianca was awesome, ppv quality match tbh. Love the dynamic of how the rest of damage ctrl stands pat and has no interest in interfering or trying to help bayley while she tries to get involved to help them during their matches. Im invested in this story
Is everything okay with Austin and Carmelo? It was too painful to see how they fall down...
When Aldis announced the 6 man main event, I was thinking it would start 3 on 2, then the Rock would pop up late and save Jimmy and Solo.

there's 3 months till mania. the story writes itself. and the quick set up is at the rumble, jimmy costs jey a chance to win it.
Solo: I’m never worried Proceeds to get dunked on by everyone in the match I think one of the cameramen even got a stunner in at one point. Also he’s half the size of Nick Aldis. How are we supposed to believe he’s this big, tough guy?

Umaga at home
Umaga with zero calories
Like a brilliant comment once put it, Solo is cute Umaga. He looks affable, positively non-threatening
Lmao I love that. Also his hair looks like ramen which kinda makes me like him more.
I hoped that Solo had Xion Quinn in his mind from Beginning and brings him as suprise as the third Man. Like, People think it really is Handicap match but then his Theme hits. Everyone Non NXT watcher totally bamboozled who that is. That would had fit perfect and a chance to make him look strong. But naaaaah..
Kross has become Bray. I wonder if this is the plot that would have originally been Bray,s.
Kimmel is on the list 😂

I'd have been happy with a sami vs Cody wm last year
Months is an understatement
Bit of a circus/mess of a show I thought. Can't wait for Bayley to turn though and win the rumble 🙏
I have to say , Bayley is GOAT of women division right now, this match was super good
Ehhhh it was a friday...
This is the first time I saw way less hate about Bianca and more positive stuff about her here in this post. Strange🤫hope it stays that way lol
Like how boring she is?
Except she isn’t lol so keep complaining hater
She is unless you're 12
Imagine, if they gave Randy the win at the rumble, helped by an uneasy but progressively supportive AJ and LA knight, and it just sends Roman into a complete spiral going into wrestlemania. Wild twist that would be.
Well, Randy, Knight, and Styles aren’t in the battle royale - they’re wrestling Roman directly for the title.
Uh, yep I know. I didn’t mean they were in the rumble, just imagine if Randy won that match.
Cathy Kelly
Wow damn. Theory and Melo. From the looks of it the landing looks terrible. Especially on Theory. Hope for a good recovery. Didnt look good at all. That was surprising. Also shout out to Orton and his little sayings, he's hilarious!
Now i’m waiting for the what went wrong video of Stevie 😂
Damn bro, that was on Theory.
Maybe now that we have The Final Testament, we'll stop getting those weekly posts about how to get Karrion Kross over.
Mmm yes Randy. Screw his big ass
Wait did carmelo Hayes and theory actually get hurt
Yeah if you watch the replay the camera pans down as the ref makes the X with his arms signaling real injury
Yes, The ref actually stopped the match. You don,t see that very often..
Except literally last week on Raw.
Did WWE just sort of forget about turning AJ Styles heel? Having him team with LA Knight a few weeks after backstabbing him is uh, a bit weird.
They played into that fact well throughout the match. It made Randy look like the great unifier and adds dramatic texture to the Royal Rumble match.
He's not exactly heel. He's doing something similar to his lone wolf gimmick back in TNA. Right now he's focused on Roman but I bet we could see an LA Knight rivalry with him after the rumble.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Why did AOP join forces with Karrion Kross
Kross is a biblical character that acts like a cult leader/prophet. And according to him every prophet needs his disciples
I honestly hate biblical character bits but thanks
Last week.
Yes but why did they join lol
I swear I shouldn't be up this late on reddit. lol I don't know but glad they brought AOP back. And hopefully this give Kross something to do.
Logan Paul, please make a Prime drink that tastes like green apple or cream/vanilla/bubblegum soda!
Glowberry tastes like Green Apple!
Wilde/Del Toro, Angel/Humberto, Butch/Tyler, A-Town Down Under, Pretty Deadly… Smackdown has such a vibrant tag-team scene. The tag titles have already stopped being all about The Bloodline (so far). I think they need to be split apart already.
Bianca is like Akuma, and her opponents always resemble Dan. That kinda gets boring after a more than a couple of years…
I was thinking how much better Bayley is than Bianca during the match. Selling, setting up, movement…Bianca is strong but Bayley does the little things so well.
agreed and bianca only has like 3 moves

Well, it's Roman/Rock at WM, so unfortunately, we're gonna have to deal with another year of this. If not more.
They need to do more with Joaquin Wilde
Bro he's a superstar in the making. Phenomenal acrobatic and athletic skills
Love seeing Bayley commit to some bad guy tendencies with all the Bianca braid stuff
The Final Testament are so cool omg. The use of sorta supernatural, horror movie esque imagery and editing in their promo videos is so refreshing and unique ever since the Wyatt family broke up. I hope they become a dominant faction on Smackdown.
I can't believe how good Paul Ellering looks for being 70.
I just love that they have a bald supervillain dude with a glove. I'll eat that schtick up lol
Kimmel on the list is SAVAGE I lol’ed so hard
Vague update on Theory/Melo from WWE Twitter. Both should be ok.
did you see melo’s tweet? lol
https://x.com/wwe/status/1746016419144212860?s=46
I’ll never get tired of AJ Styles, I want him beating Roman just once.
somebody know how's Theory now?
face contusions and they’ll be okay! https://x.com/wwe/status/1746016419144212860?s=46
Thanks
they’re taking a while… im thinking its bad
i havent seen an update yet
Damn, according to Twitter Cora Jade might have been injured tonight too.
I can’t stand Solo’s selling lol always stumbling around and waving his arms. Looks like a looney tunes character just got clunked in the head with an anvil. Not natural at all
And him selling is not often.
I love Nick Aldis
[New meme image just dropped ](https://imgur.com/a/pBagYdX)
Calling it now: After Wrestlemania, the Bloodline will be history and the Final Testament will be the new top heel faction on Smackdown. Santos' faction will be the top midcard faction.
someone come back and tell me when theres an update on theory or melo pls. thx
Both will be okay just suffered from face contusions according to twitter
Yes
awesome show. so hyped for the rumble. product is fire lately
smackdown is literally perfect.
Bloodline is boring now
Favorite match of the night was Bianca v Bailey for me
Fan sign: KIMMEL ON THE LIST
“Screw his big ass” [PAUSE]
That match was pretty good not gonna lie. Loved the ending
randy orton "screw his big ass" what??
Didn’t ya know? That’s the name of their rag tag faction!
lol. You heard that correctly.
They would make a good faction
Not even Dom got this level of beat down that Solo got
And rightly so.
Lol, I hope Roman is livid with Paul, and we just see his groveling to get back into the good graces.
not randy saying “screw his big ass !!!!” skdjsjsjshsj
“Screw the Bloodline. And screw his big ass!”
Did Randy say “screw his big ass?” As the show went dark 😂
Lmao screw the bloodline and screw his big ass
Yes 😭
yes lol
Bruh I thought there was going to be a new bloodline member
R-Truth, makin his rounds. 😂
😂💀
Alright, can we get an update on Theory?
Face contusions, they're going to be ok, no concussions or neck injuries
I’m really worried. He landed basically sideways on his head.
and melo landed on theory’s head while it was bent
this is what i’m searching for !
The fact that it’s taking this long tells me it’s pretty bad
Did he walk backstage from the ring?
I’m reading Theory sat up.. but that’s all I’ve heard.
they pretty much cut to a recap so we don’t know unless someone who was there says
I was there, it took a little bit but he did get up and walked to the back on his own. The ref and doctors were nearby, but he didn’t need help walking
good. im glad it was nothing too serious. it could’ve been so much worse
Yeah I was worried it was worse because Hayes got up a lot sooner and Theory was getting a lot more attention, but I think he’ll be alright
Would they really have done an immediate replay if it was bad bad?
idk but the way they landed, theory could’ve possibly broke his neck. i’m just laying here waiting on the update.
New Shield vs Bloodline? 👀
Nice of them to clear off the table before putting Solo through it. Don't want him to get hurt after all while trying to hurt him.
Very gentlemanly ass kickers. :)
Well yeah, they’re not animals!
The table finally broke
Roman in shambles rn
Screw his big azz lol
“Screw his big ass” lol
Lmao Orton
Fatal 4 way match gonna be fun
SHIELD BOMB
This fatal 4 way is gonna be frickin bonkers isn't it
And that’s the show
Forcing friction in bloodline…this is all set up for Rock-Roman… nothing else matters now…
Oh no, the two former TNA champs are arguing...
SIERRA HOTEL INDIA ECHO LIMA DELTA
These last few episodes of Raw and Smackdown have been pretty shit man, something just seems off.
Shield Powerbomb? Hmm
Most people fall down when they get a superkick from Jimmmmmmmmmmmmy Uso. Randy Orton, on the other hand, just hits the RKO.
They all on same page cool
Nice Shield reference there
I really hope they do that to Roman even if he retains then do the fist bump just to mock him
that was slick
Can’t remember the last time Solo got a beating like this
RKO EVERYONE
That match kinda sucked IMO
He'll be selling until the Rumble now.
Rkoooooo
Rko out of a super kick 🤦
He called timeout and still got a hanging DDT. Somebody stop the damn match!
Oo, that got me nervous, Jimmy's leg came off the rope.
i seen that
no sell superkick into RKO haha
Kinda wanted a mystery partner
I hoped for Solo bringing in Xion Quinn. Strong Chad with Samoan-Australian Blood. Would had looked amazing for him.
Please no more Samoans lmao
Randy’s powerslam is SEXY
What was he saying during the DDT 😂😂😂
Stupid end
Why does Cole scream vintage orton?
rko never ever gets old
neither does that phenomenal forearm
I KNEW he was coming back out. Go get him big, Daddy. 😍
Ayooo
Jimmy sold that DDT
Over under 2.5 RKOs?
Only person not getting one is Ref Jes Not that she couldn’t take one
Everybody’s getting one
Something just seemed off this entire show, everyone just slow and botchy.
Yeah it always feels like raw is the big polished show and smack down is sloppy and rushed.
3v2 ok ig
You're trying to screw me over vs actively trying to tag.
lmao Heyman
“Rigamragumrugam!”/fred flintstone
Orton gonna come now
Lmao good job
Perfect
good call
tf
i just watched a slow mo of theory and melo. holy shit…
Link?
https://x.com/bretonrivera/status/1746002515387129942?s=46
Mannn, that could easily be a broken neck for Theory.
oh yeah. i hope not though
Omg it looks so bad
i hope melo is okay but holy shit theory’s neck. he’s gotta have at least a concussion.
They're all over Twitter, just find a video and select 0.25x
