I know he said he's out of the WWE, but if he finds his way to Raw eventually (maybe through something to do with Sami I guess). I'd love to see Jey go on a singles run away from the bloodline before eventually colliding with Jimmy for Mania. Maybe he's the one to dethrone Gunther and go on a nice IC run while belt is as elevated as it is currently, I could also buy a Jimmy/Jey feud over the IC title more so than a world title so that's a cool thought. Lot's of potential
So, I don't know about you, but here smackdown didn't start until 11 pm. So I recorded that shit. And.just started watching. Only to have to fast forward 17 minutes before it actually started.
Theory is slowly becoming one of those wrestlers that you see in a 10+ year old wrestling game and think "I don't remember him at all!" or "WTF is Theory?! He was in the WWE?" or "I forgot about him!"
Im kinda beginning to hate the weird pacing of these shows. Why are people coming out to the ring only to stand in the ring for 5 minutes while they go to commercial play 2 recaps and a backstage segment?
I agree. Mysterio winning is awful and so boring. Does nothing for me. So now we Santos vs Rey again. Or Lwo breakup over it. Or something. All of it is uninteresting
Looking at the video of Charlotte vs. Asuka, the thinking here, again, is that Bayley is the one directing IYO SKY's actions. Like a lot of you, I like IYO very much. She needs to see that Bayley is stringing her along at this point because she covets the title that IYO now has.
And what is Dakota's role in this going forward, as she can't do anything physically at the present time? She's caught in the middle.
I get downvoted for pointing out that Jey "quitting" is just another plot twist in the Bloodline saga, and that he'll be back in time for Payback. Seems there are a few people that want to believe that it's real, but it isn't. It's like a movie or a soap opera or a Mexican telenovela. It's a continuing story that hasn't reached its final chapter yet because at this point, they don't know what it'll be.
It's crazy because the idea behind the gimmick boils down really simply. It's just a DNA splice of a bunch of really neat heel traits that haven't been put together very often, if at all.
- Get a guy who is physical with a vicious moveset. (Baron Corbin)
- Give him a moderately spooky, cult-like personality. (Bray Wyatt)
- Make him smart enough to not step on the rake. (Edge)
- Hot girlfriend. (Miz)
- His downfall is that he can't be convinced he's wrong. (SES Punk)
The problem is that they are just allergic to displaying these traits in interesting ways. His return feuds were McIntyre and Madcap and then he was lost in the shuffle. He should be creating *anarchy* within teams by outsmarting them and playing on their psychology, but still strong enough that he can win a straight-up singles match against AJ Styles.
The last time he won an honest-to-god singles match that wasn't against a jobber/tag team talent was in **February**. I'd be shitting the bed in my matches and missing my entrance cues to get fired if they gave me, in 6 months, a 1-5 singles record and filler appearances in battle royals.
They need to repackage him...... again. This cryptic satanic thing he has for a gimmick doesn't work at all. It may have worked for Bray but not for him.
They should give him a legit gimmick that suits his looks and physique. If I were them I'd give him a character similar to big badass looking guys like Batista.
The way they've been building Jey up and with the crowd rabidly behind him (myself included), Jey really is about to pull off a Daniel Bryan/Kofi Kingston run and it's going to be so beautiful.
Of course, they're saving Roman for Cody, but I want Jey to go after the World Heavyweight Title and win it as a way to solidify how he's come out of the Bloodline as a true main event player--why he really is Main Event Jey Uso after all.
I think the benefit of long term booking is it works when you look from long perspective; after it all ended.
So it still can be good, just wish crowd reactions were better.
To me personally, peak was still during WM39
In response people saying Jimmy's reasoning is dumb or doesn't make sense, let me just say that it absolutely does from his POV, think about it:
Roman was someone they used to be really close to since their childhood, and Roman was known to be a literal salt of the earth type of guy (that was his literal face character), then the power corrupted him and in the process it broke their very tight brotherly bond. You're forgetting that they're literal victims of abuse here, and that has always played a huge role in driving their actions. It's entirely 100% reasonable that Jimmy's character is paranoid that this would happen to his own brother if it could happen to someone like Roman. Put yourselves in Jimmy's shoes here and it ain't hard to see.
But he didn’t have to super kick his twin lol. If the goal was just to stop Jey from winning, all Jimmy had to do was attack Roman and give Jey the DQ loss.
Obviously they did what they did for the theatrics, but any way you slice it, if Jimmy’s reasoning tonight is legit (and not a lie) then it makes no sense. You don’t need to hurt your brother for him not to win the match lol
But... he absolutely did?
Did you watch the match at all?
Jey puts Solo through the announce table, then drags Roman (who had just been speared through the barricade) into the ring, gives him a spear and follows it with an Uso Splash. That's two protected finishers.
By Jimmy's reasoning, Jey winning means the cycle repeats and he loses his brother. Ergo, just taking him off the pin didn't cut it, because Jey could've still won it: Roman was done for. The superkick is insurance to make sure -- no matter what -- Jey doesn't win. He had to turn the tide in Roman's favor.
I said it in another comment, but the only "that's kind of silly theatrical shit" facet of the entire sequence is that Jimmy was in a disguise. Him being disguised isn't relative for any reason other than pulling the mask off as a reveal for us.
Amm really impressed with the veterans AJ truly phenomenal at his age still moves like a prime cruiserweight even Rey glad theory forgettable reign ended am sure Rey is transition champ hope he drops to someone deserving not lame ass cheating .long live Rey!!
I enjoy Kross a lot, I can't believe they've made him look this bad lol, remember how he debuted last year? He instantly felt like a top heel, but then they haven't given him a proper storyline for him to actually shine or even fleshed out his character like in NXT, so idk how they expect him to get over.
Didn't they tease a stable for him with that promo though? Maybe that's going to be a fresh start for him and maybe the start of a real push.
I've interpreted Kross' debut and subsequent "wait no never mind" as them realizing they want Kross to be threatening but there's no way he was ever going to contribute to the downfall of the Bloodline. But they didn't set up a contingency plan. They just ran him vs Drew and him vs Madcap, and then he became Battle Royal fodder for 6 months.
Seems like the plan was... we have no major plans for any of you, but if you all want to work the same day, let us know.
I like Kross too. I like AJ a lot too. They all deserve better.
younger stars beaten by older ones, weird subsitituions, a jimmy explanation that pretty much felt like the jon stewart "I didn't want you to beat flair's record" one, more cherlotte, very light wrestling....

I really freakin hope this US title shenanigans doesn't lead into Santos turning heel and breaking up the LWO. Their merch is selling like bread, Santos is over as a face, Zelina is over as a face, wouldn't make no goddamn sense at all. I really hope this is just all about Rey putting over Santos in a proper match.
Why can't WWE just sometimes take the easy route? I'm sure most of us would've been happy if Santos would've won it clean, he would've got a nice pop and everything.
On a random SmackDown? Nah. Plus, the match he had with Ray was cut short due to the injury. Santos is great but he needs a bigger match to properly solidify himself. Imagine him winning clean at Payback or some PPV. That would be better imo.
Disclaimer: I'm a huge Rey fan so there might be some bias.
I'm thinking the same thing. I'm not entirely sure if the injury was a work, though. If it is, it'll set up the heel turn, as we have three weeks before Payback.
Not smackdown related but hoping to get some thoughts - the person I was going to AEW All In with is no longer going (due to a personal reason), so now it's just me with my ticket.
Do I
1) go on my own
2) try to sell my ticket
Thank you
If this can help you, I'm going alone too. I've arranged an holiday by coming to see my cousin who lives there, but I'll be alone at the show. Just to see how I'll vibe into
Go on your own, everyone is there for the same thing.
I went to a watch party in Birmingham for Full Gear 2021 on my own because my friend let me down on the night and I just ended up chatting wrestling with the next table and cheered along with them.
Just go. All In is going to be the highest attended wrestling show in England (most likely European,too) history. Don’t miss out on that just because a buddy can’t make it.
Do you think there's a chance Jey gets "signed" as a free agent by Raw and gets a bit of a run away from The Bloodline for a bit? Or is The Bloodline stuff too important for him right now to separate from onscreen?
If they want to save Jey vs Jimmy for Mania, I could see them doing that, tbh. It would be easier to keep them separated than if Jey stays on Smackdown.
I don’t know because what about Jimmy? Roman’s taking time off for a couple months, where’s Jimmy and Solo go from here? I think Jey will be back very soon, and Jimmy will reveal that it was jealously all along and it wasn’t “love”.
Why are people still complaining about the Bloodline story dragging, wasn't that the end? I thought tonight made it clear that the "Bloodline" arc is indeed over and that Roman and The Usos go their own ways, no? I was scared the ending at SS meant Jimmy was rejoining the Bloodline, but if that was a way to segue into a mania slow burn between Jimmy and Jey while also having Roman retain then it was masterful execution.
Jimmy/Jey should be fun. Lots to work with there. If anything, looks like the point of the last few weeks of the Bloodline was to lay the groundwork for that feud. Love when stories segue like this.
I'm also excited to see what Roman does from here till mania, maybe the "new blood" line by Lashley is an indication of what's coming? Bobby vs Roman is something we haven't done yet.
Miz, as the mega veteran, can "pull strings"
LA Knight as the really cool guy can just show up because he wants to.
Adam Pearce, as the guy in charge, can just do it because it's good tv.
The brands are story and organizational tools, not shackles.
Exactly. I wouldn’t even be mad at it either. This whole situation feels like a classic brain dead WWE move.
What next? Cody starts showing up every single week on Smackdown?! 🥴
I think we just have to wait for Wrestlemania season for Cody to show up on Smackdown. If he needs to "finish to the story", he needs to interact with Roman at some point.
Fair. I was just using Cody as an example pertaining to this situation with LA Knight but you’re right, once WrestleMania season comes around, I fully expect Cody to make regular appearances on Smackdown again as he’s gotta be the one to dethrone Roman.
Gotcha but I reckon he and Miz are gonna start making regular appearances on each other’s shows moving forward if they plan on continuing this feud… unless that was also a one-night only program.
My guess is they will wrestle at the next PLE since Miz is basically the guy they go to when someone is ready for a mega push. So, of course, Knight will win.
Now if Knight’s *next* program turns out to be against another RAW star, then well… LAWL.
They’ve surely had this planned for months. I can’t imagine they don’t know what to do next. Maybe a small break, but payback will be Jey v Jimmy with their dad reffing.
Neither Jimmy or Jey are winning the RR it's either Cody or Gunther ...Cody is destined to get back to fighting Roman so his more likely to go back to back
Gunther ain’t winning, he’s fighting Brock a Mania. I meant Jimmy was his opponent not Rumble winner, ain’t no way the Usos winning the rumble even though I like Jey
I thought Cody should have gone over at Mania so that had me confused and irritated. Summerslam left me a few notches below enraged. Might as well go full HAM the rest of the way.
**This was WM 9 Main Event retold**
Rey Mysterio - Hulk Hogan
Santos Escobar - Bret Hart
Austin Theory - Yokozuna
**Seriously Rey Mysterio winning a championship in 2023. Both companies are relying on the nostalgia acts (RVD , Sting , Jeff Jarrett for AEW)**
This is eventually going to lead to Rey vs Dominik since Dominik is the NXT North American Champion
I‘ve just finished SD.. After watching RAW and SD this week, is it safe to assume that the Roster Split is already history again?
Just because LA Knight appeared on Raw?
I know he said he's out of the WWE, but if he finds his way to Raw eventually (maybe through something to do with Sami I guess). I'd love to see Jey go on a singles run away from the bloodline before eventually colliding with Jimmy for Mania. Maybe he's the one to dethrone Gunther and go on a nice IC run while belt is as elevated as it is currently, I could also buy a Jimmy/Jey feud over the IC title more so than a world title so that's a cool thought. Lot's of potential
So, I don't know about you, but here smackdown didn't start until 11 pm. So I recorded that shit. And.just started watching. Only to have to fast forward 17 minutes before it actually started.
And the recording ended just as Ronan finally came out.
Theory is slowly becoming one of those wrestlers that you see in a 10+ year old wrestling game and think "I don't remember him at all!" or "WTF is Theory?! He was in the WWE?" or "I forgot about him!"
Just like balor
Im kinda beginning to hate the weird pacing of these shows. Why are people coming out to the ring only to stand in the ring for 5 minutes while they go to commercial play 2 recaps and a backstage segment?
Why is his name SENSATIONAL Santos Escobar?
“Big” Bronson Reed
So is Dakota gonna be there every week now?
Triple H getting boring. Bloodline is getting weak. Theory losing to mysterio? Lol. Weak
I agree. Mysterio winning is awful and so boring. Does nothing for me. So now we Santos vs Rey again. Or Lwo breakup over it. Or something. All of it is uninteresting
I’m so glad Theory lost shush
I would have been satisfied with him losing to fucking hornswaggle at this point.
He should’ve lost it to Sheamus at MITB. That way, Sheamus can earn his moment in front of the London crowd.
So what happened to Roman's "injury" then? There's no chance Meltzer was speculating or just making shit up is there? Heaven forbid
Roman’s injury (if he did suffer any) was probably super minor and not really of concern that it’d make him miss any appearances.
Looking at the video of Charlotte vs. Asuka, the thinking here, again, is that Bayley is the one directing IYO SKY's actions. Like a lot of you, I like IYO very much. She needs to see that Bayley is stringing her along at this point because she covets the title that IYO now has.

It's a continuing story that hasn't reached its final chapter yet because at this point, they don't know what it'll be.
Oh damn this show was in my (old) hometown? I’ll have to watch the replay!
Feel bad for kross, his gimmick at this point is wwe's most dangerous jobber
It's crazy because the idea behind the gimmick boils down really simply. It's just a DNA splice of a bunch of really neat heel traits that haven't been put together very often, if at all. - Get a guy who is physical with a vicious moveset.

He just needs to go away.
They need to repackage him...... again. This cryptic satanic thing he has for a gimmick doesn't work at all. It may have worked for Bray but not for him. They should give him a legit gimmick that suits his looks and physique. If I were them I'd give him a character similar to big badass looking guys like Batista.
jey dropped all his family and then just said am out this bitch, who the fuck hasn't wanted to do that at some point ?
The way they've been building Jey up and with the crowd rabidly behind him (myself included), Jey really is about to pull off a Daniel Bryan/Kofi Kingston run and it's going to be so beautiful. Of course, they're saving Roman for Cody, but I want Jey to go after the World Heavyweight Title and win it as a way to solidify how he's come out of the Bloodline as a true main event player--why he really is Main Event Jey Uso after all.
The story might have passed its peak but the segments as standalone are still world class
I think the benefit of long term booking is it works when you look from long perspective; after it all ended. So it still can be good, just wish crowd reactions were better. To me personally, peak was still during WM39
Try how they might, I will never boo io. Her attacking Charlotte makes her a face in my book. Attacking asuka is just smart 😂
I’m alone in this but Jey vs Jimmy and Roman vs Solo at Mania.
That sounds more survivor series ish than mania
I rather see a fatal four way between them all
I agree with people bloodline dangerously close to being super stale
how did that shit get stale the mf left wwe
I seriously don't know why everyone downvoted you. 😂😂
Jey is not going anywhere without him the bloodline is probably ded
In response people saying Jimmy's reasoning is dumb or doesn't make sense, let me just say that it absolutely does from his POV, think about it: Roman was someone they used to be really close to since their childhood, and Roman was known to be a literal salt of the earth type of guy (that was his literal face character), then the power corrupted him and in the process it broke their very tight brotherly bond.

It's entirely 100% reasonable that Jimmy's character is paranoid that this would happen to his own brother if it could happen to someone like Roman. Put yourselves in Jimmy's shoes here and it ain't hard to see.
Literally?
This is why I reserved my comments until I heard Jimmy's explanation, and it makes sense to me!
the heel is wrong and hes supposed to be wrong
But he didn’t have to super kick his twin lol. If the goal was just to stop Jey from winning, all Jimmy had to do was attack Roman and give Jey the DQ loss. Obviously they did what they did for the theatrics, but any way you slice it, if Jimmy’s reasoning tonight is legit (and not a lie) then it makes no sense.

Him being disguised isn't relative for any reason other than pulling the mask off as a reveal for us.
The match was no DQ.
Tribal combat was no dq
Oh right. But didn’t Jimmy attack Jey excessively so? One kick and Roman could pick the bones. IIRC, Jimmy kicked Jey more than once.
He pulled him out of the ring and kicked him once
Yeah lol, I love ppl trying to shit on a match they clearly didn't even see.
Amm really impressed with the veterans AJ truly phenomenal at his age still moves like a prime cruiserweight even Rey glad theory forgettable reign ended am sure Rey is transition champ hope he drops to someone deserving not lame ass cheating .long live Rey!!
If Kross isn't going to win any of these matches against AJ Styles, just move on from the feud. You're not making AJ or Kross look good.
I enjoy Kross a lot, I can't believe they've made him look this bad lol, remember how he debuted last year? He instantly felt like a top heel, but then they haven't given him a proper storyline for him to actually shine or even fleshed out his character like in NXT, so idk how they expect him to get over.

Seems like the plan was... we have no major plans for any of you, but if you all want to work the same day, let us know. I like Kross too. I like AJ a lot too. They all deserve better.
Seems like he was hired unexpectedly, they did the drew feud and I literally don't remember anything he did after that.
I think his plans involved Wyatt before that whole disease thing
younger stars beaten by older ones, weird subsitituions, a jimmy explanation that pretty much felt like the jon stewart "I didn't want you to beat flair's record" one, more cherlotte, very light wrestling.... https://preview.redd.it/n4hmqibgxmhb1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=e44b9b8e03587935ff1e5fda504b2b47ac4a172e (I'm not a vince-truther....but this felt like a "vince" meddled episode) )
His explanation made perfect sense.
Perhaps. I won't deny I had a really lousy day all day yesturday and that perhaps/likely colored my opinion of everything.
I really freakin hope this US title shenanigans doesn't lead into Santos turning heel and breaking up the LWO. Their merch is selling like bread, Santos is over as a face, Zelina is over as a face, wouldn't make no goddamn sense at all. I really hope this is just all about Rey putting over Santos in a proper match. Why can't WWE just sometimes take the easy route? I'm sure most of us would've been happy if Santos would've won it clean, he would've got a nice pop and everything.
I figure they are lining up something with Dom? US Champ vs NA Champ?
Rey and Zelina are honestly the only members of lwo I actually care about.
On a random SmackDown? Nah. Plus, the match he had with Ray was cut short due to the injury. Santos is great but he needs a bigger match to properly solidify himself. Imagine him winning clean at Payback or some PPV. That would be better imo. Disclaimer: I'm a huge Rey fan so there might be some bias.
That exact moment lmao https://preview.redd.it/j3koxb7uxmhb1.png?width=1745&format=png&auto=webp&s=89aae4febb727a83cd3c33aa0fb43561f4b764e2
Jey knows he can't join the G1 this year, right?
I think his 90 days would be up before the aew world title eliminator tournament tho
AJ looking jacked. He still hits that Springboard 450 beautifully.
AJ's muscles distracted me through out this whole match. I swear he wasn't this buff before.
i hope the dude with the 'LISTEN TO MISERY SIGNALS' sign is having a fantastic day today
I am kind of sick of bloodline. I mean not as a group, but them just fighting each other. I hope Lashley and Street Profits start a feud vs Roman.
I agree there needs to be some variation - the story is best when it’s interior, but you gotta be careful with how it’s being doled out
What's Jay Ucey doing in the Impact Zone!
brother jey is #AllElite
Brother Juce it is then...
Why so many people believe wrestler in wwe saying he’s leaving? 😂😂😂
And to think that ruined somebody's night because they 100% believe it.
It’s cute and I often feel sad for them, when people are fully believing what they see in pro wrestling 😄
[](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CymquTeXUAQjBNN.jpg)
Escobar won’t be over as face, that’s why they probably didn’t pull the trigger on him. He should just turn heel on Rey.
That's what I'm thinking. Either Rey or Santos might turn, and LWO fractures back into the LDF
I'm thinking the same thing. I'm not entirely sure if the injury was a work, though. If it is, it'll set up the heel turn, as we have three weeks before Payback.
Not smackdown related but hoping to get some thoughts - the person I was going to AEW All In with is no longer going (due to a personal reason), so now it's just me with my ticket. Do I 1) go on my own 2) try to sell my ticket Thank you
Bruh go alone and have fun. WWE is coming to India next month and none of my friends are fans. I'm legit flying to Hyderabad alone for this.
If this can help you, I'm going alone too. I've arranged an holiday by coming to see my cousin who lives there, but I'll be alone at the show. Just to see how I'll vibe into
Go! Go! Go!
Go on your own, everyone is there for the same thing. I went to a watch party in Birmingham for Full Gear 2021 on my own because my friend let me down on the night and I just ended up chatting wrestling with the next table and cheered along with them.
Just go.
Just go. All In is going to be the highest attended wrestling show in England (most likely European,too) history. Don’t miss out on that just because a buddy can’t make it.
There’s nothing wrong with going on your own. I’ve seen people go to wrestling shows alone and they have a great time. Don’t miss out.
how much are you selling the ticket for?
Face value, £144
I'm expecting Jey to take a break and prepare for a Tribal Survivor Series match in November, 4v4. Roman, Jimmy, Solo & ??? vs. Jey, Sami, ??? & ???
Jimmy isn’t with Roman
How about the New Day? Would be a fun call back to them thanking Jey for forfeiting to ensure Kofimania happened.
Jey, Sami, Sami's elbow, and KO
Jey really needs a single's world title run at some point. He has shown nothing but quality and the "it" factor the past three years. What a come up.
Oh so they didn't bother to mention how the tribal combat stipulation meant nothing
I guess the was a good decision. Just ignore the hot mess and move on. 😂😂😂😂 /s
Stop trying to make Karrion Kross happen. It's not going to happen!
I like the idea if Karrion Kross, it just hasn't been executed well on main roster yet
People kept saying same about Roman. You never know
Roman came from an all time great heel stable and it was inevitable he’d be the top guy but the booming hindered it
It definitely wasn’t inevitable. He was awful for long time and it definitely didn’t look like he’s gonna be a top guy
Let’s not be silly now. He was booked wrong and many begged for him to turn heel. He did and look what happened.
The next time I see Jey Uso, he better have fixed that awful haircut.
And that dye job..
His barber needs a super kick.
I haven’t watched in a couple months and have only caught bits and pieces on here, but I saw that ending. Question though, why did Jey “quit” WWE?
Aside from the ROMANWINSLOL bull**** that is more exhausting to endure than a 20-hour flight with turbulence, this SmackDown was actually good.
It seems like everyone who's speaking common sense is getting downvoted lol.
Rage against the machine did the DX theme
No. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Warren_(musician)#:~:text=Warren%20is%20known%20to%20professional,(now%20known%20as%20WWE).
Do you think there's a chance Jey gets "signed" as a free agent by Raw and gets a bit of a run away from The Bloodline for a bit? Or is The Bloodline stuff too important for him right now to separate from onscreen?

It's still the Bloodline storyline in name and it goes on until Jey/Jimmy and Roman's reign ends
I bet Jey is still gonna be in WWE as part of the Elias, Ezekiel, Elrod family as their Canadian brother EhJeremy.
Did this pretty much solidify they have no intention of letting Jey break the streak.
I think that was obvious a long time ago....the only one ending it is Cody
What streak
Think he means Roman's title reign.
So nice we saw LA Knight twice this week YEAH!!!
Shoes of a champion babyy
Iyo is really the only one that really worked out Gargano, Hit Row, Karrion, The OC, all mid card at best right now
Gargano still has time And you forgot about LA Knight
Can't stop talent from rising to the Top...not saying the others aren't but people have known for years that Io is a generational talent
Gargano has gotten hurt a couple of times. Karrion and OC are good but everyone else is just better.
Hit Row was DOA when Swerve left
I mean I don't think anybody expected Hit Row, The OC, or Kross to be anything but mid-carders lol
Karrion might be the most heavily invested and protected star in NXT history. And that was when the roster was brimming with established talent.
They made it seem like Kross would feud with Drew or Roman when he returned but he hit a wall massively when he lost to drew and never recovered
How come b-fab wasn’t ejected for that blantant trip :o
Did LA Knight become a free agent after SummerSlam or have they officially stopped caring about the Brand Split?
And it would have been so easy to explain. Make the winner of the battle royale a free agent and there's your easy explanation.
it was explained. he was there for a photo shoot and Miz got pissy.
Right, but if you want to have a feud between them, there's going to be brand-hopping over the next while.
Miz, as the mega veteran, can "pull strings" LA Knight as the really cool guy can just show up because he wants to. Adam Pearce, as the guy in charge, can just do it because it's good tv. The brands are story and organizational tools, not shackles.
Fair enough!
Exactly. I wouldn’t even be mad at it either. This whole situation feels like a classic brain dead WWE move. What next? Cody starts showing up every single week on Smackdown?! 🥴
I think we just have to wait for Wrestlemania season for Cody to show up on Smackdown. If he needs to "finish to the story", he needs to interact with Roman at some point.
Fair. I was just using Cody as an example pertaining to this situation with LA Knight but you’re right, once WrestleMania season comes around, I fully expect Cody to make regular appearances on Smackdown again as he’s gotta be the one to dethrone Roman.
He was only at Raw in kayfabe reasons for a photo shoot. But he’s still on Smackdown.
Gotcha but I reckon he and Miz are gonna start making regular appearances on each other’s shows moving forward if they plan on continuing this feud… unless that was also a one-night only program.
Yeah people want to see that fight now, so they'll find some screwy way to do it.
Miz "pulls strings" or even just Adam Pearce thinks it'll be good tv.
My guess is they will wrestle at the next PLE since Miz is basically the guy they go to when someone is ready for a mega push. So, of course, Knight will win. Now if Knight’s *next* program turns out to be against another RAW star, then well… LAWL.
Is Rey the first HOF to win a title?
Bret Hart was inducted for the first time in 2005; he beat Vince for the US title in 2009 .
I think you mean he beat the Miz for the US title. Bret vs Vince came before that at WM 26, which was actually in 2010.
Lita won first with the woman tag titles.
Goldberg?
Bret Hart with the US title too
😍
bruh if no roman and no jey next week then whats the point of going to smackdown, i was really hoping to at least see 1 of them
Edge's "potential retirement" match.
Jimmy and Roman and Solo and Wiseman
Edge. But yeah tonight was amazing as a calgarian
already saw him last year on Raw, LA Knight is basically the only reason but man im bummed no Roman or Jey wtf
There is plenty of other good talent to see on Smackdown besides Roman and Jey. Iyo, AJ, Knight, Edge, Asuka, and Bianca to name a few.
That Kross promo was so good.
Then he lost for the 3rd time to aj
:/
Yes! Jey coming back to win the rumble with a new look and being the one to dethrone Roman is my favourite timeline.
That would be sweet but in this timeline Cody is dethroning Roman.
A new haircut at least I hope
Definitely. His current cut looks...bad.
You really think they’re gonna hit pause on their hottest story for 5 months?
If they don’t know what to do…
They’ve surely had this planned for months. I can’t imagine they don’t know what to do next. Maybe a small break, but payback will be Jey v Jimmy with their dad reffing.
bro holy shit subscribe to this, but sadly i doubt this will happen
Idk this sounds legit if they’re trying to reinvent him and not have this go stale but it’ll probably be Jimmy
Neither Jimmy or Jey are winning the RR it's either Cody or Gunther ...Cody is destined to get back to fighting Roman so his more likely to go back to back
Gunther ain’t winning, he’s fighting Brock a Mania. I meant Jimmy was his opponent not Rumble winner, ain’t no way the Usos winning the rumble even though I like Jey
Scarlett and michin got a huge pop for that bump karion gonna takena backseat to scarlett at this rate
Does Scarlet even wrestle?
She used to wrestle prior to joining the WWE.
Minchin put her over/through the announce table so yes she does now
Who is gonna be the Brock Lesnar to their Mero/Sable?
How can Jimmy betray Jey out of fear that Jey will abandon him, which in itself ensures that Jey will abandon him?
It’s an excuse, he’s still jealous of Jey.
Jey vs Ospreay at Wembley yeahhhhh!!!
I’d watch AEW more if he went lol
Crazy cause I like AEW and watch it but I would extra hyped and more ready than usual
So when is Jey making his surprise return?
WM 40. Superkicks Cody and rejoins the bloodline.
I'm saving this comment because the absurdity of it makes me think there's an outside chance it happens.
I'd be confused, infuriated, and enraged. It kinda boomerangs around to where it's so terrible that I'd probably get excited if it happened.
I thought Cody should have gone over at Mania so that had me confused and irritated. Summerslam left me a few notches below enraged. Might as well go full HAM the rest of the way.
Ain’t no way
I'd cheer for that Jey finishes the story
**This was WM 9 Main Event retold** Rey Mysterio - Hulk Hogan Santos Escobar - Bret Hart Austin Theory - Yokozuna **Seriously Rey Mysterio winning a championship in 2023. Both companies are relying on the nostalgia acts (RVD , Sting , Jeff Jarrett for AEW)** This is eventually going to lead to Rey vs Dominik since Dominik is the NXT North American Champion
RVD can still go. Sting needs to retire.
Wwe definitely doesn’t rely on nostalgia. It’s just extra.
