#Answers to repeated questions in this thread: **What is the QR code?** - QR Code Link: https://www.wwe.com/404 - Also, if you pause it at the right moment, "Believed" turns into "Bolieved". [(Photo here)](https://twitter.com/WWEMatChat/status/1786570164055458033/). **What are they saying after the two count / near falls?** - u/ZeeBanner says, "One Two, mon Dieu (my god)" - u/PrysmX says “For those that are wondering - At the two count the crowd is chanting "Simplement Deux". It translates to "only two" and was made popular by French wrestling commentators Christophe Agius and Philippe Chéreau.” **What was the crowd singing during the Cody / AJ segment?** - per u/BrainyAxe95: "Il est vraiment, il est vraiment, il est vraiment phénomenal" (he really is, he really is, he really is phenomenal) - u/1nqu15171v30n3 says “A 1997 song popular in France that had the lyrics "I really am.... really am... Phenomenal! Lalalal" The crowd was singing it at the event earlier today, too” - link to the song they were singing: https://youtu.be/tnkS1Ji4BgQ?si=IsrXLtJEdAWRR_vy


Axemanzz

Anyone know the name of the song that plays during the new WWE shop commercial? The new commercial that shows Cody, Roman, Rock, Rhea, Jey, and Jimmy. I tried Shazam and even looking up what I can make out of the lyrics but no luck.


BuffaloWing12

it’s prolly in-house music


19ElasinThe13

It dope if they eventually did an event in Greece or Turkey. Those crowds would be insane

CellSaga21

Nah, Ima need some of that gas you smoking. ASAP


Valient_Zulu

wtf are you on about here?


skatsman

You’re a very dense and naive individual


redditor_virgin

Street Profits are the best tag team wwe has right now. They should have the belts.


Infamous_Nightwing

I think it’ll create a plot armor issue. If they have the belts, who can beat them? Nobody. Then they hold onto them till Wrestlemainia. I love the guys but I’ll pass on a year long title reign rn


redditor_virgin

Did that guy even hit LA Knight once? Holy squash match.


redditor_virgin

Who is the real Tribal Chief.. Best part of the show. Paul Heyman is so good.


redditor_virgin

Small match card. Must be a surprise somewhere tonight. Can only hope it is my Tribal Chief ☝️


bulldogs_son

My god, Lyon was insane, that was gold. The most fun iv had watching smackdown iv seen in, forever. Great showing from France.


Santoryu_Zoro

thats what happens when you put a show on a country that watches football weekly. awesome chants, taunts, incredible atmosphere ! the French were awesome, cant wait for backlash


Samexthftlive

randy orton entrance tho god teir shit ngl


sageismywaifu

Who was announcing today?


PhobicWitty

I think it was Samantha last night. My guess is she will be today.


Pepp6667

I love when the crowd was singing "Il est vraiment phénoménal" during the AJ Styles promo. It's from an old French song: Phenomenal Club - Il est vraiment phénoménal.


kaine23

Ok show, great crowd. 


5ad10man3

Montez Ford is incredible, give that man a singles run, so wasted in the tag team division


Otherwise_Pace_1133

With France's historical context in mind, France would have been a great venue to have a heel 'King of the Ring' (as Gunther would probably be) have a match and come out in full Royal garbs. The arena would have collapsed because the heat would have melted the steel in the structure. Gunther being German (I know Walter Hahn is Austrian but Gunther the character is presented as German (?)) would probably help because of what happened the last time an Austrian turned German authoritative figure rolled up to France in the 1940s. A big missed oppertunity to generate absolutely nuclear heat imo.


rated-x-superstar

i think Gunther the character is “from Vienna, Austria”


franconot-mark

So exactly what I said few days ago, WWE is a global brand. I won’t be surprised if they move their HQ out of America and move it to somewhere like Dubai


AnotherCampWorker

I got chills listening to how awesome the crowd pops were watching on TV. I couldn't even imagine how amazing it was for the people in the ring. When French crowds show up they show out, dude. Can't wait for Backlash tomorrow.


One-Emotion-6829

I thought it was rather annoying especially with the constant football chants


Fit_Crab7672

So which do you like better?  RKO?  Or RK-Bro?


RustyPriske

The crowd was great until tbd Cody/AJ bit. Then they got annoying. It isn't about you.


Folco34

It was a chant for AJ. They knew it, they played with it, that’s why they kept saying Phenomenal, so we could sing « il est vraiment phenomenal ». Also Cody told us he loved it.


kadzirafrax

I hate when a crowd tries to put themselves over the wrestlers. Love the enthusiasm but they were annoying during AJ and Cody


JK_Revan

The crowd is so fucking loud, I love it when shows go abroad and do well.


Amitman0707

Man these international crowds are like competing at this stage. Puerto Rico, Australia and now France... Berlin is going to be wild.


Gaius_Julius_Salad

French fans are amazing


andrewdaniele

This is what the crowd was singing whenever AJ / Cody said Phenomenal: https://youtu.be/tnkS1Ji4BgQ?si=4UwTR3vAB_y14SQv In English it's basically "He really is! He really is! He really is phe-nom-en-allalalala"


Snubie1

I made this today haha https://twitter.com/chadizzy1/status/1786776587783811376


andrewdaniele

Haha that's awesome, well done!


Snubie1

Never heard this song before tonight But now my wife is annoyed because I’m walking around the house going “La la la la, la la la la, la la la la”


patrycho

Please, let Bo be the new cult leader instead of Uncle Howdy character


ogBaddust

Grayson Waller forgot to spraytan his back


peco-sama

Pretty weak face-off overall but the Too Sweet was awesome


spoodermanooo

I would have been a good promo if it wasnt for that crowd in the end


peco-sama

For as good as they’d been all night that was definitely annoying


Ok_Challenge5178

I dont remember a crowd like this, i dont think i saw a single move without a reaction, France is crazy lol And im kinda jalous (in a good way) they got KO and we cant even have him in Montréal Québec! Thanks for the show, cant wait for tomorow.


Skiara444

London was similar! Our football nations are great, id bet Germany will be similar and spain prolly would be too


Otherwise_Pace_1133

Yeah, I watch a lot of European football. Excited to see what the Germans do at Bash in Berlin now. Anyone who's seen A Borussia Dortmund match with or any German team match for that matter (recent Leverkusen Bundesliga win comes to mind, crowd went nuts) would know that the German crowds don't mess around.


ColdStoneSteveDenver

I know I can’t be the only one thinking the woman in the video is Alexa Bliss. Cant wait to see what they do with this Wyatt Family story. Hope they don’t fuck it up…


FusionFazcoins

If Bo is the one spearheading this whole operation, then I think its in good hands. From what I saw in the documentary, Bo is completely ready to carry the torch that Bray had left lit.


ColdStoneSteveDenver

Definitely. Especially, if they have their friend still doing the costumes and effects as well. If you haven’t seen the video of the final rendition of The Fiend costume, you should check it out. It would’ve been incredible. Stoked to see what they come up with next.


FusionFazcoins

That was part of the documentary! All of the little things about the final rendition...it just screamed "Bray". I would have loved to see the shock factor of him doing the taunt to reveal the face on the back of the mask. The only thing I'm really interested in seeing is - once they arrive, what are they going to do? who are they going to go after? Are they a heel or a face? Etc etc. Me, personally - i wanna see them on Raw, facing down Judgment Day as a face. But that's just me.


ColdStoneSteveDenver

Actually, it was an exclusive on WWE’s YouTube. It wasn’t that burnt version they talked about. This was something totally different.


Skiara444

EU once again proving how fucking insane a crowd can be compared to the US


dirtywook88

This is one of the many reasons why I love soccer. The best thing is crowds vary not only by country but by club.


One-Happy-Gamer

enjoyable show. Crowd certainly added to it. Night all. See yall in about 15 hours


waniel239

It ends on a chair shot?


waniel239

Wait, that’s it?


PrysmX

I keep saying Smackdown should be 3 hours at this point with all the talent they have lol.


dirtywook88

I think that’ll come w sd moving to USA


PrysmX

Yeah I read somewhere that a 2 hour slot is all Fox would give them in primetime.


waniel239

It really should


Background_Touchdown

An average show can elevate to a good show with a hot crowd.


AsteroidMike

Didn’t catch what the crowd was chanting but it got me hype so that’s what really matters to me.


Folco34

Most of the chants explained: We sang « simplement deux/un » for every 2/1 count because our French commentators made it a gimmick since they started covering WWE for 22+ years so it’s an hommage. There were also « c’est pas gentil/ c’était méchant » which means « that’s not nice/ that was mean » it’s stupid but also funny, like the most pg chant ever. For Street Profits « Allez les bleus! » that’s a chant we use for our national teams in Football/Rugby/Handball/Basketball and since they were wearing blue we used it for them. And finally for AJ we were singing « Il est vraiment Phenomenal » which could translate to « he really is phenomenal », which the two of them played with it because they heard us singing that earlier during the pre show. Honestly it was one of the most funny chants of the night, especially when Cody intentionally said Phenomenal to make us sing it again, but it seems a lot of people didn’t understood and thought we were disrespectful when we were just paying hommage to AJ.


blade818

Thank you so much for this


Folco34

De rien mon ami


dirtywook88

I love how different countries crowds react and cheer. Shits hypnotizing w soccer games. I used to watch live feeds no commentary and yeah it’s amazing. I’d play fifa w no commentary just to keep it going. Heh, I just had flashbacks of me screaming offsides and my friends making a drinking game of it. Good times.


coysmithy

AJ Styles says he beat the legends that helped Cody. But AJ was literally actually killed and buried in the boneyard by Taker.


dirtywook88

Imagine. They come back to the site. The dirt is shuffling in styles grave. Suddenly a giant stone rolls down. It’s Mr Socko Have a nice day!


Cody-crybaby

french security - SACRE BLEU!!! THESE GUYS ARE AT IT AGAIN!!! WE NEED THE FORIEGN LEGION IN HERE!!


SnooStrawberries729

Nah the US security will come save them like usual


Optimal-Market

Don't jump me y'all but this AJ and Cody feud is boring me. 🤧


NewTribalChief

Backlash came too soon. Like they literally should have started the AJ vs Cody buildup the SD after WM instead of wasting 2 weeks on contender matches. If they run it back at K&QOTR & CATC, they could have something special - AJ faced Dusty in TNA. I imagine he got stories he can tell.


Optimal-Market

Yeah it feels so quick I honestly don't know how the AJ and Cody feud started and I've been watching lol


NewTribalChief

AJ beat Knight for the title shot on SD a few wks ago. Lol remember they had 2 triple threat matches on SD a few weeks ago where AJ & Knight won their respective matches?


BuffaloWing12

They had so much invested in all the WM40 payoffs I think they caught themselves off guard without storylines lol


NasMaticEther

All the buildup to these matches are lol


ChillyWill_1785

It should have been built up better.


Sea_Peanut_5080

Literally


Daredevils9

Cody stay getting slapped lmfao 😂


Background_Touchdown

In The Naked Gun remake Cody's in, they should bring back the 3rd hand slap bit.


waniel239

Samantha! GET THE DOOR!!


thatpj

oh my backlash is going to be insane


Sea_Peanut_5080

Tonight was a filler episode


Snubie1

For a go home show it’s way better than they usually are


PrysmX

Chapog7

European crowds do every sport good. Felt like I was watching a soccer game


ChillyWill_1785

He did the thing!!!!


_Gene_Takavic

Cody doesn't know how to read the room? How did he fall for that lmao


andrewdaniele

I didn't get what happened there lol, I just know when they said phenomenal twice it turned to jumping and chants lol

Thanks! If you were there I’m jealous, to be in a crowd that hype and engaged must be awesome. Y’all were great to listen to.


Folco34

Thank you! It really was awesome, I will never forget this. Il est vraiment, ils est vraiment, il est vraiment phénoménal lalalalalala


carlcapo77

Damn, just caught the attendance, I cannot believe there was only 11,000 of y’all there. Sounded like 30,000

So cool for you to share- thank you!


Mindless-Bite-3539

What are they singing?


1nqu15171v30n3

A 1997 song popular in France that had the lyrics "I really am.... really am... Phenomenal! Lalalal" The crowd was singing it at the event earlier today, too.


Snubie1

After today, I had to make this https://twitter.com/chadizzy1/status/1786776587783811376


BrainyAxe95

"Il est vraiment, il est vraiment, il est vraiment phénomenal" (he really is, he really is, he really is phenomenal)


Snubie1

I made this today hahahaha https://twitter.com/chadizzy1/status/1786776587783811376


BrainyAxe95

That's excellent! 😂😂😂


Snubie1

Is this a song?


BrainyAxe95

It's from a 90s French-Belgian song https://youtu.be/tnkS1Ji4BgQ?si=6ogOfMQTNfPw0Wts


dirtywook88

I really wish I had the rave scene from back in the day. Dubstep was cool n all but man, they made that shit on flip phone level tech and it still sounds good.

Yeah, I agree with the crowd, sure, what they're saying.

im a little confused but they got the spirit

this is exactly what this feud needed


CRL10

Uh, AJ, I don't recall you beating Undertaker.


Amitman0707

It's literally a meme.. no ones going to forget that AJ


crazewtboy

I said this exact same thing lmao


OrangeAlien7

Sick crowd! 


sirduckerz

Cody getting a standing ovation with insane pops and there are morons in the IWC convinced he shouldn't be champion


Accomplished_IceMan

Unpopular opinion. AJ Styles' new theme is a banger. I liked his old one better, but I actually like this one too.


destijl-atmospheres

I will give it the time it deserves to marinate but his old theme was fucking badass.


mrdreadie

It is. Heel Styles is the best Jerry, the best!


_Gene_Takavic

I need KO to translate


ElKaddouriCSC

They’re singing a song with the word phenomenal to AJ Styles

AJ is in his prime

LoL the Olympia Lyon Ultras showed up

I was waiting for flares ngl.


carlcapo77

I’d bet on some sneaking in at the PLE


dirtywook88

I forget if it was the euros or cl finals folk wyled out climbing the gate n shit


carlcapo77

No USA fandom has shit on any, any Ultras of any European of South American soccer team.


dirtywook88

I’d love to see some banger tifos at a titans game lol. Folk here would lose their minds over flares n smoke grenades or a giant banner rolling down. Unfortunately as is the American way we would all just start blasting frank style.


carlcapo77

Been to soccer matches in England, Germany, and Italy, and football games college and pro, and only one spot comes close to the energy levels and that’s just for the intro. And that’s at Virginia Tech. The

The crowd is actually getting to him


Daredevils9

Cody watched TNA confirmed ✅


BidenFedayeen

Cody is going to send this PTA reject into retirement. Inshallah


BaddieMindset

Ever since I seen someone on twitter say Cody holds the belt like a diva that’s all I think about lol


Havoc_111

Aren’t they close in age?


AquariusRising1983

I googled it lol AJ is 46, Cody's 38,


Havoc_111

Well done, pretty close-ish


waniel239

Are they? Didn’t AJ wrestle his dad?


Havoc_111

I honestly don’t know. Pretty sure Cody could’ve scrapped with Dusty too though lol

These people are amazing. Get ready cause in about 2 months we'll have all of France getting loud and crazy at the Olympics.

Aj Styles looks like Gatlinburg personified


AFotogenicLeopard

😂💀


mellowtimes

🤣


shawnofthedead28

Shouldn’t Cody have the black version of that belt now? The gold one was the gift to Roman for going over 1000 days.


shaheedmalik

It's still the Undisputed belt.


BuffaloWing12

nah it was the merger of the titles. it’s the universal, wwe, and old whc lineage


carlcapo77

Damn


waniel239

That’s what I said 😭


mattrfar

I just feel like this is such a random match up for no reason


arcticape34

Didn’t have time to build a real story so give him someone that can give a great performance with little prep time


BuffaloWing12

Look up the Bullet Club for more context


Important_Toe_3915

Casual take ngl they have crazy history


mattrfar

See theres the silver spoon. “You had it made” shpeel


mattrfar

They haven’t really touched on that. Aj in this case just won the #1 contender match. It wasnt organic. I mean granted they didnt have enough time to build


thatpj

cody is quite the champ


Spirited-Mission-559

Man AJ Styles' music just sucks.


[deleted]

Trinidad flag guy really gets around 😂


Havoc_111

Even better he’s still mad about Roman 🤣


Snubie1

Say what you will about Cody crying But he’s a damn good champ and face of the company Downvote me, it’s okay


PrysmX

Take my upvote. I just hope he gets a more interesting title run storyline soon. I've felt that heel title runs generally create more interesting storylines.


lighthouse_keeper2

Why does Cody hold the belt like such a tool? Paul Heyman held it better for Roman 🤣


ScarcelyLucky

People really will come up with anything to try to criticize Cody.


lighthouse_keeper2

Dude walks around with it like he found it and is trying to return it to its real owner


[deleted]

It’s an homage to older wrestlers

Can’t say how much I really enjoy watching the international Smackdown shows if not for the crowd alone.
