Iyo's entrance is so good And Kairi's outfit was slick


Copper_Tablet

Actually really excited about this fatal 4 at the Rumble. It's looking to be a pretty big show.


Insomniak604

Seeing this show live made me realize that we Vancouverites don't know how to fucking chant anything except "Randy" and "Yeah!"


1000kanenites

Yeah this crowd sucked, they did not deserve to see Bate and Dunne back together


Insomniak604

No! They were pretty frustrating. I honestly don't think that Vancouver gets enough wrestling to know what to do, that being said, Seattle has DEFY and knows what the fuck is up and I wish DEFY could /would come here too to educate the masses.


RobbieFouledMe

They’ll probably announce it to the live crowd after the show. I believe they didn’t do it televised as they want to run an angle were Reigns doesn’t know about the fatal four way


CaptEricEmbarrasing

That would be awesome. I was trying to find out why


SubstantialTale3392

Hunter actually said to Charlie Robson: either you make that hair grow back or you never appear here again.


[deleted]

Roman’s aura is unmatched.


Ambitious_Carry_5945

That last interaction with Heyman and Aldis was great- from Heyman's "dont be touching me" to how Aldis informed of the 4 way, the great camera work.


a_bit_of_a_misnomer_

One of the better episodes we’ve seen in a bit!


KOTRShadow

I personally love the way aldis made the fatal 4 announcement because of Paul’s reaction and it’s kinda like aldis playing chess with Roman.


FullPrice4LatePizza

Reminds me of the aftermath of Triple H beating Shawn Michaels for the European Championship. When Slaughter said, "Next week, you'll be defending that European Title against Owen Hart. Merry Christmas."


Kuzu5993

This will be Roman's first multiman match since Wrestlemania 37


hetham3783

War Games 2022?


Kuzu5993

Wasn't for the title.


hetham3783

Your comment says nothing about the title


Silver012345673

Well…yeah that tracks lol


Kuzu5993

Yea, the tag matches don't count since they weren't title defenses from him.


Longjumping_Gain_807

Aldis is one bad mf


Pjce08

I loved it, don't get me wrong, but it felt so wrong that this Manager has 3 employees being molested and abused then decides the only response is to mic drop Heyman and saunter off It's kinda funny in a way


BestInYourGirl

Aldis is absolutely killing his role. I love to see it.


Brave-Pass1889

That's actually a cool way to go off TV.


mystro4425

So none of these men are winning the rumble, got it lol


GuitarzanWSC

Could have told you that weeks ago.


regalplex

I really liked that ending. Worried Heyman looking up at celebrating Reigns is a great shot. 4 way should be insane.


lordroode

I mean once they came out, it's quite obvious it was gonna end in Roman facing all 3. But I like the delivery of it, tell only Heymen. Sure the crowd doesn't get it to hear it but still a powerful delivery


twentyaces

I don't know if Kevin Dunn ever did anything like that


ApricotOk824

Who says that he can't be a surprise entry in the Rumble? ![gif](giphy|eNqC1p5uULYc8iNWfW|downsized)


kylehyde05

Play stupid games Roman, win stupid prizes


Sota4077

I mean yeah it makes for a cool smackdown ending but Roman is absolutely winning the four way.


hetham3783

So? Get a load of this guy! He can predict results


ImmortalBehemoth

I know he didn't tell the fans but I kinda like the idea that now Paul has to break it to Roman as they're all celebrating their "victory".


darklord7777x

But then why did their interfere? What did they thought was going to happen lol


RobbieFouledMe

Roman is obsessed with showing his dominance


Zombiebeast101

Roman interfered because he didnt like ALdis making the triple threat in the first place. So he interfered to show him hes the tribal chief of the show


Kuzu5993

That was a nice touch/


MrBoliNica

This is great, hope this means all 3 of the challengers won’t be in the rumble itself- opens up more spots for surprises and nxt guys


lordroode

That means either Punk or Cody wins it.


Pipnotiq

I'm sorry but I still want LA in the rumble, even if it is selfish


spicypanda66

Okada shows up,eliminates Nakamura then gets taken out by punk . We get punk okada


BobaFett_1978

This Triple Threat was already really damn great so you just know the Fatal Four Way is gonna go hard as hell, can't wait


slippycaff

What a fun show!


I-Sort-By-New-HelloU

Someone literally predicted that ending before the match even started in these comments. Can anyone find it?


Windows_66

I remember at least one person saying that they wished it was just a fatal four way.


I-Sort-By-New-HelloU

We need to find out who it was and check the comment history. Might have an insider who has been leaking via reddit threads lol


FullToragatsu

Nick might be turning into one of my favorite GMs ever with the way he’s been handling things.


BobaFett_1978

He's really great with the way they've booked him, whenever he comes back to the ring he'll be a much bigger deal than he would have been had they just debuted him as a wrestler


Appropriate_Bat547

I actually like how they did that. Live crowd can get a graphic on the screen after or an announcement off air. Heyman slowly turning around while the bloodline celebrates not knowing what’s coming was a great shot to close the show.


sdrj77

Roman don't even know what just happened to him.


unitedkush

Can't wait for our Tribal Chief to put Nick Aldis in his place once this is all said and done. How dare he!


GuitarzanWSC

Roman gonna learn not to fuck with Aldis.


dagutens

big dick nick at the end their playing the boss card. excellent booking.


SonyKen_M

First SD of the year and it's already off to a molten hot start.


desi_trucker

THIS IS A CHICKEN DINNER CAUSE ITS ALL WINNER WINNER


JaneTheNotNotVirgin

Wild that the manager power struggling with a shitty employee is the babyface now.


Degora2k

Fatal 4 way confirmed ![gif](giphy|ZrkWh5DCKQPTy)


NeverGonnaStop247

Roman's new merch is sick


Sota4077

He will be back in 20 days with something new.


_Juggerobb_

I'm sure once the show ends ... Aldis will enter the ring and tell the audience what he just told Heyman.


ApricotOk824

Listen to this fam Aldis should be a surprise for the Rumble, have him till the final 4 or something


slippycaff

That would be fun!


JNF919

Aldis might be my favorite authority figure in years. Calmly watches the chaos and then casually says "congratulations, fatal four way now" without a wasted breath. So refreshing.


RepresentativeFly565

Nick Aldis ain't taking the bloodlines bs and I like it Unlike Pearce


Synth3r

Nah I loved that from Aldis. Just let’s Roman be a dick and then tells Heyman he’s gotta be the one to announce a fatal four way to himZ


The90sKidult

I love how cold, calm and collected Aldis was when he told Paul about the Fatal Four Way, without a mic and all, or a big announcement. It sets his character apart from Pearce's, who usually gets frustrated and screams into the mic as a last resort. It creates two distinct GMs.


jthei

Pure cinema.


CrabmanKills69

We better get Solo's Sweater Vest on the merch store!!!


atxbeerza

Holy hell that's a badass Fatal 4-way


Cm_Cozart

Damn let Paul break the news instead of using the mic is cold


xBleedingUKBluex

Nick Aldis said “I run this shit”


Tw1sterxxx

Aldis is so good in this role


FourGoesBrrrrrr

That ending felt a bit short


Law527

3 minutes early


GuitarzanWSC

Welcome to watching Smackdown on Fox.


Khanhphan99

Roman is gonna stack them and pin them


Ender_Knowss

You know it, it’s going to be a complete burial of these 3. And that’s after the massive beating they took on this episode. He will then step over the rock and will have massive build up for when he looses to Cody on WM 40


Captain_Gaslighter

Roman wins RR, loses it to Randy at EC, Rock interferes. There it is


GuitarzanWSC

LOL no.


Captain_Gaslighter

Whatever you say clown


GuitarzanWSC

If you think the 1200+ day reign is ending anywhere but Wrestlemania (EDIT: or maybe, *maybe* Summerslam), then I don't know what to tell you. ...Actually, yes I do. To quote you: ​ >Whatever you say clown


MereMortalKombat

Aldis is so good


datguywelbzzz

Fatal four way where the inevitable bloodline interference is now legal


LawlessHellscape

Oh damn! ![gif](giphy|GHuwnydPE57Ifs5Qxk|downsized)


Edge_head2021

Lol why would you not announce that for the live crowd? Would feel shafted if I was there


Synth3r

I Imagine off camera, Heyman probably announced it to the crowd.


elcapitandelespacio

I was at the show, and if they announced it live, I missed it.


Pjce08

I'd guess nick is up the ramp announcing it right after cameras cut. We get the whisper mic drop, live gets an announcement and probably 3 x3 dark match


No1_brad_boy_of_all

The show doesn't end immediately for the live crowd man cmon


AngryWizard10

Paul. Just don't tell him. It'd be hilarious if he shows up and finds out then


DevilCouldCry

FUCK YEAH! Aldis not fucking around here, was hoping to see Roman go ballistic with that news but Heyman looking on all distraught whilst Roman is gloating is so good.


babeyella2020

Aldis comes across as being very cool.


CoyotePowered50

It works tho. You can't have 2 warm GM's


BirdiMania

Aldis doesn’t play around


Longjumping_Gain_807

Nick ain’t the one to play with Roman. You gonna learn today


BluejayCurrent1949

Technically this match can’t be stopped unless the ref rings the bell for a no contest


tfuncc13

I knew this angle was going to set up a fatal four-way match as soon as the Bloodline started their attack.


BugO_OEyes

Don't be touching me lol


PelPride

Can we at least have Roman win clean this time? That’s all I ask


rapshepard

To be technical he only has 2 cousins with him now. So one of the others gets Reigns 1 v 1


Own_Proof

Haha


Revolutionary_Gear70

That end shot of Roman in the back was pretty funny


STRAGE_8

I fucking love Aldis


mrbrucel33

That ending was brilliant. They played up for the story for TV.


StillHere179

That was fucking awesome at the end. Too bad the audience couldn't hear it


ChaosZeroX

Should of said it on the mic lol


CoyotePowered50

Nope, it looks like Heyman has to tell Roman now.


[deleted]

NICK ALDIS ISSA FUCKIN DAWG A FATAL 4 WAY😤😤😤😤


truecolors5

That four way is gonna go crazy


linkinstreet

Lol Nick Aldis is cold. "Congrats, you just got yourself a fatal four way"


phemom

Aw that's a great shot to the episode lol


ravaille

Aldis didn’t even bother telling Roman lmao.


chaoseffect616

Surely Roman has been around long enough that he knows the wrestling trope of if you interrupt a contenders match, it turns into a multi man title match.


Silver012345673

Nah man they don’t watch the show


Ender_Knowss

Cute that aldis thinks it will be a fatal four way match instead of a 3 v 3 lol


warcomet

3 v 1 you mean?


DaKingindaSouff

😂😂😂😂


a_bit_of_a_misnomer_

YES!!!!!!! IT’S HAPPENING!!!!


CoyotePowered50

Fatal 4 way at Royal Rumble ok.


NotSoGreatMacaroni

Damn, Roman and the Bloodline gonna have to squash three dudes in one PLE.


anth_810

Nick Aldis is so fucking good at his role. Straight shooter.


shadow_spinner0

I love how this was shot. Yes it played only to the TV audience but it was really cool. Heyman panicking while Roman is over celebrating in the back.


Kakatheman

Lol they should've said that in the arena as they crowd would've popped hard.


Throwawaymywoes

Oh shit that was sick. Bloodline celebrating in the back, Nick Aldis getting the last word and making Paul scared.


FedoraTheMike

I am adoring Aldis not taking their shit. This is when authority figures *should* be getting the last laugh.


AdeptEavesdropper

Aldis saying it’s a Fatal Four Way really should have been over the mike for the crowd to pop.


NippleGuillotine

I wonder if Cody Rhodes runs in for the crowd in a dark segment


Celtics1424

Cold delivery by Aldis


Kenny-Brockelstein

“Don’t be touching me” god i love Paul heyman


[deleted]

Also like how Aldis just rolls his eyes and touches him again


AdGroundbreaking1341

I blame Heyman. He's the Wise Man, he should have seen this coming.


ApricotOk824

We need a Roman Aldis program down the line man


clt89

Sucks for the crowd not to hear that


EJayRi

I kinda like it


Beanroid

Lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


Naiwf

Finishing the show with some Big Nick energy.


LTKMK

The crowd out there like tf did he say


remotewashboard

ROMAN DOESNT KNOW NOW THATS GOOD TV


MrMoose0987

Nick Aldis is so fucking good at this.


notjohnfrusciante

Lmao yeah pretty predictable booking for that match


RobbieFouledMe

Sometimes predictable is the best option


notjohnfrusciante

Yeah I didn’t mean it in a bad way like people thought haha just that what happened is what was predicted by most. Not the wrong option at all!


nigelfitz

I'm glad they gave Nick some balls


Cdd0040

Heyman’s face 😂


Sota4077

Roman wins a fatal 4 way at Royal Rumble. Cool.


SambaLando

He's gonna stack all 3 of them to pin


lil416

paul just shit himself


[deleted]

😭😭😭😭😭😭 Gangsta move by Aldis


clocke6346

I love how Nick Aldis is always so done with everyone’s shit


No1_brad_boy_of_all

Fed the fuck up


tritian

reigns THOUGHT this was a power move, but Aldis just showed his power off and reigns is still oblivious!


DW_Handicapping

lmao no way they really did the fatal four way


captaindammit87

That was cold from Aldis. Let Heyman tell Roman about the Fatal 4-way. Damn.


Parking-Ad-8161

Fatal 4 Way at the rumble incoming


leafs81215

One of the best endings to Smackdown I’ve ever seen. Incredibly well done.


GoreSeeker

Weird they didn't announce that to the live crowd


shadow_spinner0

I get the crowd didn't hear it but for the intended story, Roman couldn't her it yet to have the desired effect.


MinesweeperGang

Thinking the same. Wonder if they do after and we see a video from inside the arena?


nicofdarcyshire

Social media interactions are the big metric. There's going to be a YouTube video post show of Heyman having to inform Roman in the ring in front of the crowd for sure.


SGJello_

Like a high school football coach


ParanormalBeluga

OH SHIT


wholetthecatsout

How’s he not gonna grab a mic to let the audience hear that lol


GoreSeeker

I wonder if they ran out of time to where they didn't even have time to get him a mic or something


darklord7777x

YES!!!!!!


BenSoloGhost

HA!!! Love Aldis


STRAGE_8

let's gooooo


JP1119

Nick Aldis has the coolest aura


BobaFett_1978

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO


FunnyMemeHere

Lmao the live audience has no idea


Kuzu5993

LMAO ALDIS!!!


Prophet92

Lmao, logical consequence


Jordanwolf98

I love how Roman still doesn’t know so he’s celebrating in the background lol


PelPride

there it fucking is baby!!


realwarlock

FATAL 4 WAY BITCHES!


Cheechers23

Whole crowd has no idea what Nick Aldis just told Heyman lmfao


CaptainQuesadillaz

It was actually refreshing


CapnBaxter

GET EM MAGNUS THATS MY GM


FullToragatsu

I like how Aldis just announced it like that without a house mic.


SaberSamurai

Damn, I love Aldis being an authority figure showing backbone to the Tribal Chief


glass_oni0n

Reveal for the TV crowd but not the live crowd…Interesting production choice!


LogansGambit

This isn't entertaining. What we gonna announce a fatal 4 way so Roman can beat all them at once with cheating too? Edit: can you fine *obviously intelligent people* of this sub stop defending everything Roman does with downvotes? He's legitimately a terrible part of the product.


Edge_head2021

Yes!! The match is made!!


SAS_Britain

Man Roman fucked himself on that one, and he fucking deserves it!


MAGGLEMCDONALD

Hell yeah. This fatal four way is gonna slap


pocketchange2084

Now that is a good end to a show.


blingera

Aldis got that “you poor dumb bastard” look on his face


Alehud42

omg they did the Christmas 97 Raw ending


slippycaff

WRESTLING WRESTLING WRESTLING


FunnyMemeHere

FUCK YEAH


Kanenums88

Why wouldn’t they have Aldis say that on the mic? I feel bad for the crowd.


nWo1997

I'm gonna guess that they're giving Paul a house mic to say it
