    You are far too cynical (especially about your favourite hobby) for your own good.

    I'm just a contrary gig sometimes as a lot is wrestling fans

    Forgot the winners get title opportunities at Summerslam. So Cody going on to win it won't be the worst

    Naomi is a great heel but I feel she'll get fed to Jade the likely QOTR winner if she cashes in successfully, I love to see Naomi go over Jade and then Bianca with the title

    Cena , Truth, Orton, Knight and Punk mic segments were good

    Could very well see a situation where Jade goes on to beat Tiffy only for Naomi to cash in with the villainous title steal

    Fully expecting hikuleo to take out Jacob next week but find it strange that he debuted on Main event this week

    Were Pretty Deadly meant to be on this week? Are they even involved in the whole tag story going on now. Yet their disco ball was set up. And if someone is injured, why set it up? Don't think anyone else uses it. Maybe it's just part of the standard set up that hasn't been updated.

    Edit: I had searched for pretty deadly on cagematch to see if they maybe had a match on main event. Never thought to search them separately and turns out Kit had a match on Main Event. He has also been taking part in Speed.

    Would love a bit of two giants in Hikuleo vs Omas having a best of five series of matches.

    Wrestling needs to bring back proper giants.

    Poor episode of Smackdown. Only so many Fatal 4 Ways I can take in one sitting and too many entrances

    The thing with the 4 ways are you know who is winning and you know who is eating the pin before the match starts.

    I know it's all a matter of taste.

    But I was stunned by the positive reaction to Punk promo this week. Got to be all time personal worst for Punk.

    Hyping it, telling everyone it's about to get real. Then forgetting his lines, stumbling with his words delivering such killer lines like "that sounds like PG Cena".

    While John keeps hinting as Punk's tweet but Punk can't really respond, so it all left to feel toothless and no real heat.

    The stuff with R-truth has more going for it now then this punk feud.

    What will Truth do when his rivalry with Cena ends ?

    Will he fall back into the lower card

    O yeah for sure. Six months if he is lucky doing the serious Ron stuff.

    He is 52 and never been the greatest worker. They got a truck load of talent on the come up.

    I would like him to go for gold in TNA but don't know how likely that is.

    I've seen this touted alright. I'm not sure on it because it means Jade's first big moment is going to end with Naomi being universally cheered, but I suppose that's wrestling.

    Edit I suppose winning the QOTR will be a big moment in itself for Jade.

    Probably the best Cena has been on this run. I really felt they'd pull the trigger on Sami this time

    There was a couple of good lines but I wasn't mad on it.

    It sounded too practiced and rehearsed. All promos are to an extent but there wasn't much of a flow to it.

    Could it be, or was there another reason for those names

    Not much of a pipe bomb if you have to be that cryptic about it.

    A real pipe bomb would have actually named wrestlers that had issues with Punk and worked outside of WWE and what organisation they worked for like Punk’s original pipe bomb.

    Didn't expect Cena running his mouth with some edge to it anytime soon. So far they have resisted giving Cena anything that would make people cheer the heel version. It is a long way from 'what do we get, what do we get' 'you get nothing'.

    Was on at 6 today so will post in spoiler tags for anyone who may stumble in before seeing.

    Seems they lost power for about half an hour during the opening.

    Zelina just as over in Saudi Arabia as in America. So correct winner. Though having her say how it doesn't really mean anything and is just a stepping stone could be interesting.

    What was Naomi thinking? surely a triple threat last man standing match would require both opponents having to stay down for 10 seconds. That would have to be one of the worst matches to be in.

    Is it bad that I forgot about Fenix?

    It's crazy seeing Jade towering above the women then looking tiny beside Wade.

    Though he messed some words up, I'll admit I enjoyed Punk. Cena's introduction about the last time was worded differently this time so probably another Saudi show before he goes?

    Speaking of, he seems to be going through the dates quickly. Looking quickly here and he has about 17 dates left

    Oh and Cole confirmed 2 hour Smackdown from next week.

    I hope that is the end of Tiffany vs. Nia feud , a good match with no logo tables

    I enjoyed Punk Life

    The US got the full Orton/Cody segment with a more shaky camera. Can be watched on WWE's youtube. Netflix hasn't updated it yet, even though they have no trouble updating Raw to remove segments. I still don't understand that.

    This week's NXT was prerecorded so was released last night a bit earlier on Netflix like a normal show rather than streamed. So wonder if they'll do the same with this week's SmackDown or will they stream it "live".

    A beatdown to close out the show? I did not see that coming. Or maybe I'm getting mixed up with the Death Riders.

    Why didn't Jimmy, sorry, I mean Big Jim, come out to help Jacob at NoC? LA Knight to join them?

    Could we get to see Charlotte show some personality?

    I guess the Andrade/Fenix team is here to stay. They going to join the fight against the Wyatts?

    That Tiff/Trish/Jade segment was very awkward. And Trish talking about Evolution reminded me that Nikki hasn't been seen since. I guess Liv getting injured means new plans needed.

    Then Jade talking to Trish backstage as if she wasn't just in the ring with her.

    There is to many ppvs and snme close together, little to no build, especially the world title matches for Evolution
