Here we go with another wild episode of SmackDown! This time, we kick off with some serious irony: a celebration for Nia Jax, put together by our queen of all things glittery, Tiffany Stratton! Now, I love pink, fuchsia, and unicorns as much as the next person, but this was a sugar overload that could give a cotton candy doll diabetes! Even the Queen and WWE Women’s Champion had to admit, this isn’t exactly her vibe. And can you blame her?
Next up, the Pretty Deadly boys hit us with their “musical shack.” Honestly, it was a good laugh—if you needed one! But luckily, our girl Mia Yim decided to bring some real action into the mix with her katana (because, you know, swords are always a thing in WWE). And boom, Nia and Tiffany bolted out of the ring faster than you could blink! Could we see a match between Mia and Nia at Bash in Berlin? Fingers crossed, but let’s be real—Tiffany in the ring would be pure trash TV gold!
Now, onto the first match of the night: Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes! For the third time, these two went head-to-head in what we can call a “kinda intense” match—depending on how much coffee you had in you. Both showed off their agility, which we’ve already seen at Money in the Bank. This time though, El Idolo snagged the win with his own twist on the Hammerlock DDT12. Carmelo Hayes, fired up like never before, promised he’d take down Andrade and party in the streets of Orlando. But, not everything went as planned: Carmelo managed to flip one of Andrade’s moves into a pin, and the Mexican couldn’t kick out. The HIM, who’s not exactly shining in this rivalry, had hyped the match on social media. It was a thrilling moment for wrestling fans… if they could keep their eyes open!
Then, my fave part: backstage scenes! A member of the Bloodline (the discount version, obviously) rolls up with a message for Solo Sikoa, the wannabe Tribal Chief, who drops a line straight out of the ridiculous handbook: “If Roman takes my necklace, I’ll be the new Tribal Chief!” C’mon, bro, Roman never stopped being the Chief! The crowd, myself included, acknowledges only one true Tribal Chief, and that’s Roman Reigns. Period.
S
econd match of the night: Naomi vs. Blair Davenport. In a match that was basically “meh,” Blair Davenport took the win over Naomi with a nasty Knee Strike. This rivalry is still going, but let’s be real: Naomi deserves way more. She’s got mad talent that’s just not being shown off enough right now. Let’s hope she gets the shine she deserves soon!
Here’s another little scene between Grayson Waller and Austin Theory. Poor Austin’s clearly stressing about his match with Kevin Owens, but then he tries to play it cool like, “I got this, it’s no big deal.” Yeah, sure, like ticking off Kevin Owens is a walk in the park. And just like in the movies, speak of the devil and he appears! Owens rolls up, making it clear that Theory’s a loser and doesn’t even deserve to compete. Now, to be fair, Austin hasn’t exactly been racking up wins lately, but he definitely deserves a shot at the title!
Finally, we get to the third match of the night, and we’re all hoping it’s more intense than the others! Kevin Owens vs. Grayson Waller. This match was a bit more of a brawl, with Waller landing a few shots. But seriously, how am I supposed to take a guy in leopard-print shorts seriously? In the end, though, Owens hit Waller with his killer Stunner and Pop-Up Powerbomb combo, leaving him flat on the mat. Corey Graves and Wade Barrett are rightfully wondering if we could see a new Undisputed Champion at Bash in Berlin. Hmm, now that’s an idea I could get behind!
After the match, A-Town Down Under gangs up on Owens. Cody Rhodes storms into the ring to make the save. Rhodes and Owens viciously attacks A-Town Down Under with two steel chairs. Owens gave Cody his title back before he left the ring.
Yeahhh, YEAHHHH, here comes LA Knight, our beloved United States Champion!!!
LA Knight, with his usual swagger and confidence, calls out Santos Escobar, throwing shade at him for trying to copy his style. Knight warns Escobar that next week, he might not just forget who he is, but also where he is after catching that BFT. LA Knight makes it clear that he's the real United States Champ, the "Nation's Champ," and he’s not sweating any trash talk coming his way. Instead, he owns it and promises to lay Escobar out. And of course, he wraps it up with his iconic "LA Knight, YEAH!"
I gotta say, I’m all about LA Knight! His style, his talk, that perfect mix of arrogance and humor—it makes him absolutely irresistible!
And now we get to the fourth match of the night: the contenders' match for the Tag Team Championship—Street Profits vs. DIY.
Trick Williams is watching from the crowd. Johnny Gargano and Montez Ford kick things off with some quick moves and counters, with Gargano skillfully dodging a Moonsault from Ford, leading to a tense face-off in the middle of the ring. Then Ciampa and Dawkins step in, trading blows until Dawkins drops Ciampa with a shoulder tackle. The Profits took control during the commercial break, but Gargano and Ciampa fired back with some fast and flashy
moves. Ciampa dodged Dawkins' Swanton Bomb and nailed him with a Knee Strike. Gargano and Ciampa hit a few combo moves, but the Profits came back strong. Ford and Dawkins teamed up to crush Gargano with the Doomsday BlockBuster, sealing the win.
This match had way more energy than the others tonight! Now they’ll face the “New Bloodline” for the Tag Titles! Fingers crossed for the Street Profits to take it home!
Next week on SmackDown, LA Knight puts his United States Championship on the line against Santos Escobar. Bianca BelAir, Jade Cargill and Naomi collides with Blair Davenport & The Unholy Union In A 6-Woman Tag Team Match. Plus, The Bloodline versus The Street Profits For The WWE Tag Team Championship.
And now, the moment we've all been waiting for—Roman Reigns!
Solo Sikoa: Orlando, Acknowledge me! Alright, I see how it is, Orlando. Y'all don't wanna acknowledge me? Fine. But there's one man who has to. Roman Reigns, you call yourself the Tribal Chief or OTC, whatever the hell that is. If you want this ula fala back, then bring your ass out here and try to take it from me.
Solo hands the Ula Fala over to Tama Tonga after Roman enters the ring. Reigns and Solo start throwing heavy
shots at each other in the center of the ring. Solo whips Reigns into the ropes, but Reigns comes back with a leaping clothesline. Then, Tonga jumps in, hitting Reigns with a flurry of punches. Reigns takes Tonga down with a Uranage Slam and tosses him out of the ring. Reigns starts clearing off the announce table, ready to PowerBomb someone, but Solo steps in.
Solo fires off some punches on Reigns and rolls him back into the ring. Reigns dodges the Samoan Spike and nails Solo with a Superman Punch. Reigns Spears Solo and grabs the Ula
Fala. But just when you think it’s over, Jacob Fatu surprises Reigns with a SuperKick, following up with a beatdown. Fatu slams Reigns shoulder-first into the steel ring post and hits him with a Running Hip Attack. Fatu throws Reigns out of the ring, and The Bloodline crushes him with a Cerberus PowerBomb through the announce table. Fatu drags Reigns back into the ring, and Tonga puts the Ula Fala back on Solo's head. The Bloodline stands
tall over Reigns as the show goes off the air.
So, Solo Sikoa wants us to believe he's the real Tribal Chief? Come on, Orlando, we all know the only true Chief is Roman Reigns. But let's humor Solo for a second, acting like he's running the show...until Roman decides to set things straight, like he did tonight. But hey, at least Solo got his little moment of glory with the Ula Fala...until Roman takes back what's rightfully his! Because they "won a tiny little battle, one that barely matters! But when Jimmy and Jey Uso, and maybe even Sami Zayn, show up? Oh, it’s gonna be a wild ride!"
And that wraps up another episode of SmackDown. Gotta say, it was worth watching for Nia Jax’s celebration and that Roman Reigns segment with the wannabe Bloodline!
Catch you next Saturday for another exciting SmackDown recap!
Xoxo Selena!
