    Nope sadly not. They refusing to give Cena any real heat. Most boring heel turn of all time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    I thought that was a pretty great promo from Cena last night, might have been his best to date in this return but something is off about it.

    There's just something phoney about his gripes and I can't figure out if it's bad booking or intentional.

    I'm guessing the deeper we get into this run, the better it will get.

    First time Zelina goes to the ring with people cheering.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,733 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Who was fake Orton?

    I wonder could Cody or Truth cost Orton tonight, no way Orton is winning the title

    Saw people suggest it was Shawn Spears, apparently the tattoos match.

    Cena's turn definitely needs a bit more vroom, so far it's too little too late.

    Otherwise a good Smackdown. Hope they find something good for Bliss to do and Charlotte leaning into the hate might actually work. Aleister Black doing nonsense promos already isn't a great sign.

    Yeah, Black was basically saying he's done with doing nonsense promos but he was saying it in a nonsense promo.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,089 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Bar Brian Pillman Jr, Black must the only 1 who came from AEW that is not the same character, tbh I enjoyed the HOB character of Black (pity about his in ring during the majority of his run) so its basically back to the character he was always doing in wwe.

    Agree on the Cena stuff, anything I've seen since EC has been awful imo, its a pity because Cena can cut great promos but this dead pan version, stare into the camera stuff plus they still never explained why he sold his soul to the Rock. Its clear as day that Cena aint losing but if its a repeat of the mania match its gonna be another stinker.

    Interesting where they go with Charlotte/Bliss, Nia vs Tiffy again so soon = meh, will probably watch a bit of Backlash tomorrow but 0 interest in staying up

    MITB qualifiers start tonight

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,773 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Already a bit fed up of Alistair Black vs Carmelo Hayes/Miz stuff



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,250 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Jaysus Nia Jax got busted open the hard way by that chair at the end there, looked nasty enough

    So Cobb is now JC Mateo. And Giulia has moved up. Wonder how both will get on.

    The Alexa Bliss character is strange. Like she's just normal but some people are acting scared of her. Especially when she was talking to Charlotte.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,733 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Solo can be very funny on the mic

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,455 ✭✭✭ThePott


    JC Mateo isn't the worst name change but seems unnecessary.

    Giulia being teamed with Roxanne for like two weeks is odd but certainly not going to complain about her moving to Smackdown. The MITB qualifiers have been stacked so far, hoping Chelsea gets in with a last minute qualifier, she'd be dynamite with the briefcase.

    The tag division is on fire at the moment, Fraxiom are already getting over by just being class in the ring and that DIY match was a belter.

    Tiffy and Nia was surprisingly really good, they got me thinking that Nia had the win. That chair shot looked nasty alright, hopefully Nia's alright.

    All in all, one of the best Smackdowns of late, although there have been a few iffy ones the last one so that might not say much.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,270 ✭✭✭Ridley


    "He hasn't said that in six months" is the best thing he's done in forever.

    It's a shame his Bloodline angle wasn't really taken seriously. They should have been like the Shield but I've long since just wanted him out of Fatu's way.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,250 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    There are way too many pull apart brawls nowadays. Kind of all merge into one when it's used so often.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,250 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I was just wondering during the woman pull aparts, are there any women in those agent, etc type roles backstage that could come out? I know Sara Del Rey is a trainer in NXT yet never really hear of or see any others.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭hynesie08


    There's Molly Holly, But the minute she appears on screen I'm starting a petition to have her wrestle again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,270 ✭✭✭Ridley


    Yeah, one of the flaws of the Levesque era for me, the repetition.

    I find it interesting that Triple H was saying how hard it is to maintain and three hour show and since then there's.. more of them.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,089 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Am the only one who isnt mad on the Wyatt 6 thing? Its a nice tribute to Bray but I just dont think there is the star power that he had



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,729 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    I agree, I don't get them as a group and the components of the group don't offer much.

    Bo in his own right could be interesting. If he was more himself instead of hokey uncle howdy it would be better. He could pay tribute to Bray more in the way Rey did for Eddie.

    I would add I don't get why they brought Black back either. Would much prefer to see a guy like Kross getting these chances of they want to put forward some darker characters. Kross can do dark with an intensity and carry himself.

    I don't think having the Wyatts take out the tag division which was on fire is a good idea

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,733 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I was hoping Truth would have called JC, Rhyno or husky Bo Dallas 😁

    Naomi should win MITB, she is doing well as a heel

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,733 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I guess it ends with all brawling

    Seth and his posse strong on SD, so not winning MITB, possible Roman return to cost Seth?

    I enjoyed Solo's crew in the ring with Seth's crew, Solo's expressions are hilarious

    Bron vs. Jacob , the future, will be epic

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,250 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Was tonight the first Slim Jim table use?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭Officer999


    Thought that was a really strong Smackdown.
    I know it keeps getting said, but Bron is going to be such a star for them. He has everything, just such a presence about him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,733 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Hikuleo is set to debut on this week's SmackDown

    Those black plain hoodies are getting some use 😕😆

    Guessing new Temu bloodline addition



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,733 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I'm hoping Chelsea advances
