Priest and R Truth will end in tears

Matt this week's RKO victim

having truth and priest win the belts after 3 matches together is a joke.. when the division was flying over the summer with great teams..

I do hate the trope of singles wrestlers smashed together are immediately better than any tag team but I'm hoping if nothing else that this leads to the belts getting out of the endless MFT/Wyatt Sicks vortex and the tag division can get rebuilt going into Mania on the back of this.

Smackdown is just weird these days. Don't really have much more to add than that.

It seems to be doing all the heavy lifting of building the WM undercard. Raw just seems to be fully focused on the Punk/Reigns build.

That F[lip] Around and Tind Ut shirt is bad and they should feel bad. Or some sort of cotton/bad blend.

Randy's phone buddy revealing there identity tonight

PTH2009 · 04-04-2026 01:16AM

Well never even crossed my mind

At least a new direction for Pat

DM_7 · 04-04-2026 09:29AM

Totally unnecessary involvement and addition to the match.

The fact they had him put down loads of other performers makes it even more stupid.

They had the history to use for these too. Randy is well able to talk and act, he doesn't need any help.

If that is the best reason they could find for people not to back Randy in this feud (won't work) then maybe they should have let people shout for what they want and have Randy be Randy.

ThePott · 04-04-2026 11:35AM

That Smackdown was sh1te.

I don't understand why Cody/Randy can't just be playing up their history. Instead it has the involvement of Jelly Roll and Pat McAfee. They obviously learned nothing from last year and the reaction Travis Scott got. I don't even mind McAfee in small doses but as a reveal it's bad and makes no sense (why did he say wrestling has more than one royal family)

On the same note, why is Lil Yachty involved. He genuinely made Trick Williams less cool and over, you could hear it from the crowd. TKO needs to stop being such starf**kers, I can't imagine many people are really tuning in any more for their inclusion.

Hate what the did with Melo as well, what was that about? Nasty way of him being left off the card if that's the case.

Main thing I liked was the Danhausen cursing the ref spot. He's been a fun bright spot the last few weeks.

Card for Mania looks good on paper but the build has been tripe.

Loughc · 04-04-2026 01:06PM

I’m hoping the Melo thing leads to a triple threat at mania otherwise they’ve stiffed him good.

The McAfee involvement completely tone deaf decision again. They even got him to mention there’s still tickets available. The business isn’t f’d WWE is.

AEW has been CRUSHING it lately. I can see endeavour getting bored once the WWE house figures continue to drop. I’m confident enough to state WWE will die in my life time at the current trajectory and greed model.

CastorTroy · 04-04-2026 01:29PM

They did the whole thing of calling out the fans are disappointed yet won't actually address it. Though Pat's comment about 5'5" guys having 45 min matches was a dig at the US title matches I assume?

Loughc · 04-04-2026 01:57PM

wrestling fans: "man we really want to see Randy Orton do the Punt again!

triple h: "Punt? SAY NO MORE"

A source indicates that Ari Emanuel believes Pat McAfee is a star and will help elevate the program between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes and get it to where it needs to be, between his show on ESPN and SmackDown episodes before WrestleMania.

TKO are firm believers that mainstream names will help bring more eyes to the product and sell more tickets as they return to Las Vegas.

Jesus they are clueless I thought they monitored social media for fans advice!

CajunSurprise · 04-04-2026 02:09PM

I read online that Ari Emanuel the CEO of TKO is the one who wanted Pat involved due to Pat’s star power and Triple H signed off on it.

CastorTroy · 04-04-2026 02:28PM

I know I'm out of touch (I don't know who Luke Combs so was surprised 2 nights sold out) but only place I hear of these people is on WWE.

Like the host of tonight's Stand & Deliver is Sexyy Red who I only know from the last time she hosted and was really bad.

But they're all multi platinum selling artists.

Pentecost · 04-04-2026 04:30PM

I'm the same. Camera pans to somebody in the front row at Raw.."Oohhh it's Big Baby!". Actually now that I think of it that's the president, I do know him unfortunately.

PTH2009 · 04-04-2026 08:56PM

Didn't Pat McAfee do this big bollocks heel thing in Nxt ?
