Here we go with the recap of the latest Smackdown episode, and for all you addicts out there, we’re kicking things off with a bang—not with the Original Tribal Chief, but with Cody Rhodes! Our beloved Undisputed Champion! He kicks it off with one of his classic lines I just love: “What do you want to talk about, Tulsa?!” Right off the bat, he mentions he’s on the hunt for a new challenger for the belt. But of course, he can’t quite finish what he’s saying. Who shows up to whine about wanting a rematch? None other than Solo Sikoa! Yeah, the fake Tribal Chief, and Cody doesn’t hold back, telling him right to his face—definitely a hilarious moment.
Solo sends the other Bloodline members to the ring to jump Cody, but guess who comes to the rescue? Kevin Owens, swinging a chair! And you won’t believe it—they bounce out of there, scared stiff! I don’t know about you, but the real Bloodline was way scarier; they would’ve been throwing punches left and right!
Then we get a sweet moment between two buddies and top athletes. Cody asks Kevin to be his
challenger for Bash in Berlin, even though he knows Kevin’s gonna say no. And sure enough, Owens says he’s honored by the offer, but he doesn’t feel like he’s earned it—gotta put in the work for that title shot. Gotta say, I really liked this scene, especially Kevin’s vibe. Even though he claims he doesn’t deserve the match, I think he totally does! Besides all the matches he’s had this year, every time Cody needed backup, Kevin was there, even if it meant getting hurt. That deserves some serious props. Way to go, Cody! Solid choice!
And we kick things off with the first match of the evening: A-Town Underdogs vs. Street Profits for the chance to become WWE Tag Team Champions! 🏆🔥 Talk about a golden opportunity to be the first to compete for that shiny belt!
Now, let’s talk about Austin Theory. Ever since he teamed up with Grayson Waller, he’s been looking a bit... well, uninspired. It’s like he’s forgotten to bring his sparkle! ✨ Seriously, does anyone else feel the same way? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
As for the match itself, it started off a bit snooze-worthy, if I'm being honest. But then the Street Profits stepped in with some flashy moves that made it clear they’re hungry for a shot at the Bloodline! 💪🍇 They seemed way more pumped up and ready to rumble, and guess what? They took the victory without breaking a sweat!
Now, here’s a thought: should Theory consider flying solo again? 🤔 I mean, I’d be asking myself a couple of questions and maybe even giving myself a few answers! What do you think?
And we kick things off with the backstage skits, which I totally love! 🎭 So, we’ve got Nick Aldis and Cody Rhodes chatting about Cody’s match with Kevin Owens. And who struts in? None other than Kevin Owens, rushing in to shout that he doesn’t deserve that match at all. But let’s talk about his technique for getting the match approved: it’s pure comedy! 😂
Nick Aldis, cool as a cucumber, tells him, “If you don’t want the match, Roman Reigns deserves a rematch!” And guess what? Kevin Owens totally falls for it! 🥾 He starts saying that anyone else in the locker room deserves a shot at the title more than Roman Reigns. Sure, buddy, like that’s gonna fly! And there he is, holding those WWE tag titles, acting like he forgot the management is here to get serious!
Nick Aldis, with a sneaky grin, doesn’t even need to look in the locker room: his opponent is right in front of him! Since the higher-ups are pushing for this, here comes the second official match for Bash in Berlin! Drumroll, please... Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship! 🏆 Get ready for a wild show!
The second match of the night, folks, is a showdown between Jade Cargill, accompanied by Bianca Belair, and Alba Fyre, who’s got Isla Dawn in her corner. And let me tell you, these ladies are the reigning tag team champions! But honestly, there’s not much to say about this
match—it was lopsided to the max! Jade’s strength is off the charts, and she made quick work of her opponent. Sure, the champ threw a few “monkey wrenches” her way, but it was like Jade had a magic eraser—problem solved! 🪄
Now, the real drama kicked off when Blair Davenport hit the stage, and all hell broke loose! She and the champs went after Jade and Bianca just like last week’s SmackDown episode.
But wait, what’s this? Surprise, surprise—Naomi swoops in to save the day! And that’s when the real fireworks started, with punches flying and the champs bolting out of the ring, dragging Blair Davenport with them!
Let’s be real: the trio of Jade, Bianca, and Naomi is an absolute powerhouse! 🤯 Could we be looking at a triple tag team match at Bash in Berlin? Now that would be a spectacle worth tuning in for!
The entrance of the new USA Champion is straight-up lit, and the crowd is going wild! “Yeahhhh yeahhh!” they’re all shouting, and trust me, I was right there with them, losing my mind while watching the episode! How can you not scream with excitement? My neighbors are probably thinking of calling the cops! 😂
And it doesn’t stop there: they cut to the legendary Hulk, Lou Ferrigno, who’s in the house to catch the show! LA Knight, with that undeniable swagger, reminds everyone of his promise to snag the championship, and guess what? He did it! The crowd goes bananas with a “YOU deserve it!” chant that just keeps rolling, and I can’t help but agree: he totally earned it, especially since it's his first title in WWE!
But just when the party kicks off, Escobar jumps in with his little speech. “Good job, you made it,” he says, but you can tell he’s already dreaming about that belt around his waist. “But that title ain’t yours; it’s gonna be mine!” And the crowd hits back with a “You suck!” that would make anyone chuckle.
LA Knight ain’t fazed, though. He tells Escobar he’s gonna have to earn that shot at the title. And just like that, we’re rolling into the third match of the night: Escobar vs Andrade for the Number 1 contender spot! Get ready for some serious Mexican lucha libre action because this show is about to blow up! 🎉💥
We're diving into this epic showdown as Escobar hurls Andrade into the ropes. Andrade fires back with a sick shoulder tackle that puts Escobar flat on the mat! Not one to just take it, Escobar decides to take a breather outside the ring. But Andrade isn’t wasting any time — he dives out with a splash that sends Escobar crashing! Just when it seemed like Andrade was about to steal the show, Legado del Fantasma jumps in to crash the party.
After a couple of solid shots from Andrade, it looks like Escobar might be making a comeback, but that doesn’t last long! Back from the break, Andrade gets up like a true warrior and lays into Escobar with a series of brutal forearms. He hits a slick moonsault, securing a near fall. And his big move? The legendary "Three Amigos," but Escobar kicks out for another near fall. What a hit!
Andrade tries to wrap up the match, but bam! Carmelo Hayes shows up to distract him. His interference makes things way more entertaining! Escobar takes advantage of the chaos, pulling off a slick roll-up with some sneaky gloves to snag the win! Escobar takes it with a pinfall!
Santos Escobar is now the new #1 Contender for the United States Championship, but honestly, Andrade totally deserved that win. What a bummer! But hey, in wrestling, surprises are just part of the game!
The second-to-last match of the night is DIY vs. Pretty Deadly. The bell rings, and we’re off! Both teams are in the ring, but DIY are playing bouncers and tossing Pretty Deadly out. DIY goes for some flashy suicide dives, but Pretty Deadly comes back with some killer uppercuts. They chill on the apron, basking in their own hype, but DIY isn’t having it—they hit them with a double dropkick from behind, followed by epic splashes over the top rope. Talk about party crashers!
We’re back from commercials, and Ciampa’s in the ring, ready to throw down. He hits Pretty Deadly with a double clothesline, and Gargano jumps in to stir the pot on Prince. Gargano tries to seal the deal with a pin, but Prince kicks out like a champ. Gargano’s back on the apron, diving through the ropes, but Prince is quick with a kick. Then Prince goes for a splash on Gargano, but our hero dodges, and guess who tags in? Yep, it’s Ciampa!
Now it’s total chaos with all four guys in the ring. Gargano throws a superkick at Elton, but Wilson sends Gargano flying outside. Ciampa decides to take Wilson for a little trip out of the ring. Elton Prince gets back in, and just when he thinks he’s safe, Gargano spears him out of nowhere. Gargano tags in, and they unleash the Shatter Machine on Prince, followed by the classic Meet in the Middle. Gargano goes for the pin, and BAM! It’s over! And the winners are DIY! Honestly, the match was a bit of a snooze, huh? Maybe it’s just that when I was watching, I couldn’t wait for Roman Reigns to show up.
Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for is here: Roman Reigns! Sikoa rolls in with the other Bloodline members, and the crowd is booing like it’s a rock concert! Honestly, Sikoa communicated more when he wasn’t saying a word! He wants Tulsa, Oklahoma, to recognize him as the Tribal Chief? Hahaha, that’s hilarious! If that was a joke, he nailed it!
He’s calling out Roman Reigns, pointing out that if he hasn’t noticed, he’s the one and only Tribal Chief. And if he wants the Tribal Chief necklace back, he better take it off him! And finally, here comes the original Tribal Chief! The crowd is going wild! Tanga Aloa gets saved from a beatdown by two moves Roman had lined up for him. Even if they’re trying to take Roman down, it’s basically a slaughter! The best part of the show!
Only Sikoa is out there trying to rattle him, claiming he’s the boss. But seriously, what are we talking about? The crowd’s chanting, “Roman Reigns, you’re the only one we want! Yesss, we want Roman Reigns!!” And that’s a wrap for this week’s SmackDown! Gotta say, I enjoyed it, some parts more than others—like Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and LA Knight’s celebration,
plus of course, the return of the one and only Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns! Catch you on Tuesday for the Raw recap!
