By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

WWE Smackdown (Episode 1,328)
Memphis, Tennessee at FedExForum
Aired live February 7, 2025 on USA Network

[Hour One] Joe Tessitore checked in on commentary while shots aired of the exterior of the venue, and then backstage shots of LA Knight, Drew McIntyre, Jimmy Uso, and Charlotte Flair… A video recapped the Royal Rumble…

Jey Uso stood in the concourse area where he was surrounded by fans. Jey slapped hands and then looked into the camera and called for his music to play. Jey made his entrance through the crowd. Ring announcer Lilian Garcia introduced Jey once he was at ringside.

Wade Barrett joined Tessitore on commentary and noted that Jey was the first person to win a Royal Rumble match after starting at No. 20. Barrett said it’s always a shock when an underdog wins the Rumble, but we probably should have seen it coming after the year that Jey has had.

Jey stood in the ring wearing a “Main Event” t-shirt that had hte WrestleMania logo. Jey’s music stopped, but then he motioned for it to start and went back to playing to the energetic crowd for a moment. Jey said he had a hell of a week and got a lot of love from his family, friends, and fans (he paused for the fans to Yeet between some of his words).

A “you deserve it” chant broke out. Jey said he was there to pick a champion. He said he spoke to World Heavyweight Champion Gunther on Raw, and it’s only right that he stand face-to-face with the WWE Champion. “Help me welcome my dawg, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes,” Jey said.

WWE Champion Cody Rhodes made his entrance and hugged Jey once he entered the ring. “So Memphis, ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso, I think I know what you want to talk about,” Cody said before looking at the WrestleMania sign. Jey said Cody knew why he was there.

Jey said he had two choices to make. He said he could stand across from Cody on the grandest stage of them all at WrestleMania. Jey said that would mean a lot to him. Jey said he could also stand next to Cody, who would still be WWE Champion, while he would be the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Cody said it was quite the decision that needs to be made. Cody said he spoke with his doctor, who told him that he has fluid on his elbow, a hip out alignment, and a bunch of lower back jargon that Cody didn’t pay attention to. Cody said his doctor is a nice guy, but he’s not the WWE Champion.

Cody said one thing the doctor left out was the good prognosis, which is how full his heart is and how he’s 100 percent proud of Jey winning the Rumble. Cody said it’s Jey’s choice. Cody said he had his choice taken away last year and he had to fight for it. Cody said it’s Jey’s sign to point at.

Cody said they’ve had good moments. He said they won the tag titles and had a libation or two. Cody mentioned they weren’t far from Beale Street and they could do that all over again. Cody said that in order for his title reign to be complete, he has to go to WrestleMania and win. Cody said they should have absolute fun on this night because if Jey chooses him, it will be the last time. Cody and Jey shook hands.

Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga made their entrance and entered the ring. Tonga made his weird noises before handing the mic to Fatu, who said Cody took the title from his family last year. Fatu said his family needs the title back.

Fatu turned his focus to Jey and called him Big Cousin before saying that if anyone was going to bring hte title back to the family, it sure as hell wouldn’t be him. Jey superkicked Tonga, then Fatu superkicked Jey. Cody threw punches at Fatu, who wrenched his arm and then steamrolled him.

Fatu backed into a corner of the ring and charged toward Cody, but Jey cut him off with a superkick. Cody hit Fatu with a Cody Cutter. Cody and Jey teamed up for a double clothesline that cleared Fatu from the ring. Cody sold elbow pain…

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Naomi were shown walking backstage while Tessitore hyped Belair’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Piper Niven…

An ad for Raw hyped the previously advertised Elimination Chamber qualifying matches with Logan Paul vs. Rey Mysterio, and Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria… [C]

Powell’s POV: Did they foreshadow the final shot of WrestleMania with Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso standing tall as world champions?

The broadcast team said Nick Aldis booked Cody and Jey vs. Fatu and Tonga as the show’s main event…

Piper Niven and Women’s U.S. Champion Chelsea Green were in the ring coming out of the break. Bianca Belair made her entrance with Naomi…

1. Bianca Belair (w/Naomi) vs. Piper Niven (w/Chelsea Green) in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match. Both wrestlers ended up at ringside. Niven hit a running senton heading into a picture-in-picture break a couple minutes into the match. [C]

Niven put Belair down with a uranage slam and then climbed to the middle rope and splashed her, which led to a two count. Belair avoided a charging Niven in the corner and caught her with a kick. Belair powered up Niven and hit the KOD before covering her for a three count…

Bianca Belair defeated Piper Niven in 8:05 to qualify for the women’s Elimination Chamber match.

Powell’s POV: Regular WWE viewers have seen Belair perform the KOD on Niven before, but it’s still impressive whenever it happens.

Backstage, Smackdown general manager Nick Aldis was speaking with new Smackdown roster members Kayden Carter and Katana Chance when Carmelo Hayes interrupted them. Aldis informed Hayes that Adam Pearce called and requested that Hayes face a Raw wrestler. Aldis said he honored the request. Hayes wasn’t happy.

Akira Tozawa entered the room. Aldis recalled Hayes attacking Tozawa and costing him his spot in the Royal Rumble. Hayes said he changed his mind and was happy to face Tozawa, who then simulated shooting a baseball ball before saying “Air Ball” to taunt Hayes…

WWE Tag Team Champions “DIY” Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa made their entrance heading into a break… [C]

A clip aired from the WWE LFG show with Undertaker addressing the trainees while Shawn Michaels, Mickie James, and Bubba Ray Dudley stood by…

Gargano and Ciampa stood in the ring. Gargano boasted that they beat the Motor City Machine Guns twice at the Royal Rumble and claimed that makes them the best tag team in the world.

Ciampa said the chances of the Guns holding the titles again are dead. Ciampa said it’s hard because they have nothing but respect for the Guns. He asked the fans to stand up, remove their hats, and bow their heads in silence. The fans booed.

“Pretty Deadly” Elton Prince and Kit Wilson made their entrance and spoke from the stage. Prince said they wanted to remind DIY about all the help they’ve given them to keep the (NXT?) tag team titles. Ciampa told them the important thing was to respect the moment of silence.

Nick Aldis walked out and booked Pretty Deadly vs. DIY in a non-title match. Aldis said Pretty Deadly would be in line for a title shot if they won. He added that the match would take place immediately. The DIY duo threw a fit because they were not dressed in their wrestling gear… [C]

2. WWE Tag Team Champions “DIY” Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa vs. “Pretty Deadly” Elton Prince and Kit Wilson in a non-title match. The match was joined in progress. Late in the match, Gargano grabbed Prince’s hair from the apron. Prince punched Gargano off the apron. Ciampa rolled up Prince and held the middle rope. Wilson booted Ciampa, allowing Prince to reverse the pin for the three count…

“Pretty Deadly” Elton Prince and Kit Wilson beat WWE Tag Team Champions “DIY” Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa in 3:00 of on-air time in a non-title match.

Powell’s POV: I get a kick out of Pretty Deadly and they showed in NXT that they’re more than just a silly gimmick. I’m happy to see them move up the ladder, but the live crowd didn’t seem all that invested in their win. Clearly, there’s still work to be done when it comes to establishing Prince and Wilson as babyfaces.

Footage aired of Alexa Bliss making a surprise return during the Royal Rumble match. Tessitore hyped her Elimination Chamber qualifier with Candice LeRae, as well as Drew McIntyre vs. Eli Drake vs. Jimmy Uso in a Triple Threat Elimination Chamber qualifier… [C]

Backstage, The Miz told Andrade that he was impressed by his in-ring ability. Miz said Andrade could learn so much from him. Andrade said he already learned how to beat Miz. Andrade made his exit.

[Hour Two] Cody Rhodes walked into the picture. Miz vented to Cody about how the young crop of talent doesn’t have respect for guys like them. Miz said he would always have Cody’s back. Cody said he didn’t need Miz to have his back.

Miz hyped up how the world was behind Cody at this time last year. Miz said Cody heard the crowd earlier and they’re behind Jey. Miz asked Cody if he would still be Jey’s friend if Jey chose to face him at WrestleMania. Cody looked like Miz’s words got to him…

Footage aired of John Cena announcing at the Royal Rumble press conference that he will be in the Elimination Chamber match…

Drew McIntyre made his entrance. Once he entered the ring, he took the mic and said screw Raw because he’s officially back on Smackdown. McIntyre spoke about how he was angry after being eliminated from the Rumble and then tearing things up once he went backstage.

McIntyre said he had a moment of clarity the next day when he woke up next to his hot wife. He said he looked in the mirror and remembered how handsome he is. McIntyre said he questioned why he was so angry all the time. McIntyre blamed it on the toxic work environment at Raw.

McIntyre said Nick Aldis called him and promised him there would be no more BS, meaning McIntyre would be unleashed 100 percent. McIntyre said he’s on Smackdown for the WWE Championship.

Jimmy Uso’s entrance theme interrupted McIntyre and he walked out with a mic in his hand. Jimmy said McIntyre sounds like an ex-girlfriend. He said McIntyre is complaining that he had things stolen from him, but he just lost. Jimmy entered the ring and said McIntyre was acting like he was going to coast, but he had to earn his spot.

McIntyre said he would have been angry about everything that was said a couple weeks ago. “But I’m a different man,” McIntyre said. “I’m cool, Jey, sorry, Jimmy.” McIntyre said he’s known them 20 years now and can barely tell them apart. McIntyre said Jimmy is just as talented as Jey and maybe he’d be where Jey is now had he just said Yeet first.

Jimmy said that was funny, then said he’s Big Jim. He said he can say Yeet. Jimmy said he would punch is ticket. Jimmy said Jey got his, then asked McIntyre about his. Jimmy told McIntyre that if he wants to get to WrestleMania, he has to go through him first. Jimmy said he’s not living in the past, he’s ready to kick McIntyre’s ass.

LA Knight made his entrance with a mic and stopped on the stage. Knight said he has no love for Jimmy because he’s the reason why he didn’t become WWE Champion roughly a year ago. Knight looked into the camera and said he wants to be someone who affects good change.

Knight told the men if something makes them cry, let it out because it doesn’t make them any less of a man. Knight said there is a line where it becomes too much. He said there are three guarantees in life – death, taxes, and McIntyre crying like a baby.

Knight said he thought he heard a fan call him Drew McIncrier. Knight said he would give them both something to cry about. “Oh, wait, I forgot to get my stuff in,” Knight said. “Memphis, tell them whose game this is.” McIntyre was shown laughing… [C]

Powell’s POV: Knight’s reference to getting his stuff in was fun for those who have followed the story of McIntyre storming out after the Rumble match. More importantly, Knight said it in a way that wouldn’t make casual fans who don’t know the story feel like they are late to the party.

3. Jimmy Uso vs. LA Knight vs. Drew McIntyre in a Triple Threat Elimination Chamber qualifying match. The match was joined in progress. McIntyre suplexed Knight into the corner and then mugged for the crowd, which drew boos. Jimmy tossed McIntyre to ringside and hit him with a suicide dive.

Knight kicked Jimmy through the ropes. Knight slammed McIntyre’s head on the broadcast table several times, then did the same to Jimmy. Knight had both men down on the floor heading into a PIP break. [C]

There was a tower of doom spot with McIntyre suplexing Knight, who simultaneously superplexed Jimmy. The crowd popped and then a “this is awesome” chant broke out. Knight rallied and hit a double jump elbow drop on McIntyre and went for the pin that was broken up by Jimmy.

McIntyre put Knight down with a spinebuster and used a jackknife pin to get a near fall. McIntyre was sent to ringside. Jimmy hit a pair of superkicks on Knight and followed with an Uso Splash. Jimmy had the pin, but McIntyre pulled referee Charles Robinson out of the ring to break it up.

Jimmy went for another Uso Splash, but Knight put his knees up. Knight hooked Jimmy into an inside cradle for a near fall. Knight set up for his BFT finisher, but McIntyre blasted Knight with a Claymore Kick and pinned him…

Drew McIntyre defeated LA Knight and Jimmy Uso in a Triple Threat match in 12:40 of TV time to qualify for the men’s Elimination Chamber match.

Powell’s POV: They tried to play it up as if McIntyre hitting Knight with the Claymore Kick also caused Knight follow through with the BFT on Jimmy. This was an entertaining match. The favorite won, but the fun thing about the McIntyre character is that I can never rule out the possibility that he’ll take surprising losses that will push his character over the edge.

The updated men’s Elimination Chamber graphic showed John Cena, CM Punk, and Drew McIntyre as three of the six entrants…

Backstage, Byron Saxton asked Damian Priest for his reaction to McIntyre’s win. Priest said McIntyre was having a great day. He added that if McIntyre wasn’t, he’d already be complaining on the internet about it. Funny. Priest said he will go to the Chamber and eliminate McIntyre, just as he eliminated him from the Royal Rumble.

Braun Strowman showed up and told Priest that he appreciates his enthusiasm, but he was putting the carriage in front of the horses. Strowman said Priest has to qualify for the the Chamber match by facing two of the biggest and baddest that WWE has to offer.

Priest said he and Strowman have both walked out of WrestleMania as champion before. Priest said Fatu will do the same one day. Priest said he would beat them both so that he can face the current champion at WrestleMania. Strowman said Priest will be in the ring with a monster. Priest said he’s not overlooking anything…

Footage aired of Kevin Owens performing a package piledriver on Sami Zayn on Monday’s Raw. Tessitore said they’d take a look at Raw and hear from Owens after the break… [C]

A video package recapped Kevin Owens’ attacking Sami Zayn on Monday’s Raw, along with new footage of Zayn being stretchered to the back…

Kevin Owens sat in his car and addressed Sami Zayn. Owens said they’ve been through a lot, but he doesn’t think they’ve ever been through anything like they did on Saturday. Owens showed cuts on his face and spoke about the trauma and pain that he’s felt in his neck and spine all week.

Owens blamed Zayn for standing by and watching while Cody Rhodes tried to end his career. Owens said Zayn stood there and did nothing. Owens said he watched the Royal Rumble match and saw Zayn rushing to the aid of Roman Reigns. Owens said Zayn did nothing for him and called him a horrible friend and a disgusting human being. Owens said he would never forgive Zayn, but he will make him pay…

Powell’s POV: Great stuff. Owens continues to use the best heel logic of anyone in the business.

The broadcast team spoke briefly about Zayn’s injuries…

Akira Tozawa made his entrance. Footage aired of Carmelo Hayes attacking him before he could enter the Rumble match. They also showed footage of iShowSpeed replacing Tozawa and being destroyed by Bron Breakker.

Carmelo Hayes made his entrance while delivering a promo. He said Tozawa looked like Cody Rhodes was left in the dryer too long. He said when he’s in Memphis they call him Ja Morant. He said the difference between him and the NBA player is that he’d actually be selected for an all-star team.

4. Carmelo Hayes vs. Akira Tozawa. Tozawa attacked Hayes before the bell. The referee checked on Hayes and then called for the bell to start the match. Tozawa jumped from the middle rope and sent Hayes to the floor with a huracanrana. Tozawa jumped over the top rope and hit Hayes with a crossbody block. [C]

Tozawa put Hayes down with a kick and then removed his own t-shirt before going to the ropes. Hayes cut off Tozawa and joined him on the ropes. Tozawa hit a sunset bomb for a two count. Hayes came back and hit Nothing But Net for the win…

Carmelo Hayes defeated Akira Tozawa in 7:30.

Powell’s POV: A nice television match. It was logical for Tozawa to get a good amount of offense given the way Hayes took him out at the Rumble, but the right guy clearly went over in the end.

Highlights aired from the Royal Rumble match of Seth Rollins hitting a pair of Stomps on Roman Reigns…

Tessitore and Barrett spoke at their desk. Tessitore said they reached out to Paul Heyman for an update on Reigns, but Heyman had yet to respond. Tessitore said Charlotte Flair would appear after the break… [C]

Tessitore hyped the premiere of WWE Evolve for Wednesday, March 5 on Tubi…

A graphic noted that Memphis has hosted 16 Smackdown shows and three premium live events. It was also noted that Memphis is the home of WWE Hall of Famers Jerry Lawler and Jimmy Hart…

Jerry Lawler was shown in the crowd. Lawler stood up and held a crowd while also waving to the fans…

Powell’s POV: It’s great to see The King looking so good after suffering a major stroke two years ago this month.

Backstage, R-Truth and a referee helped Tozawa. Truth told the referee that he had Tozawa. He started to give Tozawa a pep talk about how John Cena says never give up. Truth spotted Jey Uso and then dropped Tozawa. Funny. Jey greeted Truth and then told him he should check on Tozawa. Truth said Tozawa peed on himself.

Cody Rhodes approached Jey and asked him how he was feeling about WrestleMania. Jey said he would like to go face-to-face with Cody at WrestleMania, but he has a personal beef with Gunther and would like to beat him too. Jey told Cody that he’s undecided…

Women’s Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair made her entrance and a production crew member held open the ropes for her.

[Hour Three] Flair stood in the ring and said hello to the Memphis crowd. She asked what it would be tonight. “Do you love me or do you hate me?” she asked. Flair said that when the fans boo, she hears money. Flair said the fans can’t make up their minds and that’s good because she lives rent free in everyone’s mind.

Flair said she is wrestling’s obsession. She said the fans are obsessed with her looks, her championships, her last name, and everything Charlotte Flair. She said that fans think she believes she’s better than everyone because of her last name. Flair said that’s not the only reason.

Flair asked if she would be gone for 14 months and not win the Royal Rumble. Flair said she entered the Rumble with 29 unserious women. She said there was no way she was going over the top rope. Flair said she became the first woman to win two Royal Rumble matches and she punched her ticket to WrestleMania.

Flair said she wanted to be inspired so she went to Raw and saw Rhea Ripley and then went to NXT to see if Giulia would inspire her. She started to bring up Tiffany Stratton, but she was cut off by Stratton’s entrance music.

WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton made her entrance while Barrett said this is one of the most fantasy booked matches of the last year and now we may see it at WrestleMania. A “Tiffy Time” chant broke out.

Stratton congratulated Flair and welcomed her back. She said there’s no bigger Flair fan than she is. Stratton said she didn’t think WWE could survive without Flair. “And then you got injured and everybody cared… for like a day.” Stratton said she came along and now ticket sales are hotter than they have ever been.

“Did you say something?” Flair asked. “Sweetheart, you speak when I say you can speak.” Stratton said she’s been compared to Flair since she started. Stratton told Flair to choose her. She said she won’t be the next Charlotte Flair, she’ll be the one and only Tiffany Stratton. Another “Tiffy Time” chant broke out.

Flair said a kid was in the ring when she was in the ring with Rhea Ripley, and now she sees a child who was begging Flair to make her a star. Flair told Stratton that if she wants the match, she needs to get down on her knees and beg Flair to be chosen.

Nia Jax made her entrance with Candice LeRae. Jax said the back and forth was premature. LeRae said it’s because Jax will be champion again. Jax said she spoke with Nick Aldis and got a title match against Stratton for next week.

Jax said that if Flair wants to be WWE Women’s Champion at WrestleMania then she’ll have to go through her. Flair said things just got interesting to she intends to stick around and see what happens.

Alexa Bliss made her entrance carrying the awful Lilly doll that she placed in a corner of the ring. Tessitore hyped the Bliss vs. LeRae match for after the break… [C]

Powell’s POV: The live crowd was behind Stratton and responded well to the idea of her defending her title against Flair at WrestleMania. On today’s Dot Net Weekly audio show, I mentioned the possibility of Jax winning the Elimination Chamber match and then facing Stratton at WrestleMania. It looks like that’s unlikely to happen now that they are having a match next week.

5. Alexa Bliss vs. Candice LeRae in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match. Jax was not in Bliss’s corner when the match started. Bliss set up for an early Sister Abigail, but LeRae avoided it. LeRae was in offensive control going into a break. [C]

Late in the match, LeRae hit a missile dropkick and covered Bliss for a two count. The picture got intentionally staticky (presumably Wyatt Sicks teases). Bliss came back and hit Sister Abigail for the win…

Alexa Bliss defeated Candice LeRae in 10:40 to qualify for the women’s Elimination Chamber match.

The updated graphic lists Bliss, Liv Morgan, and Bianca Belair as three of the six Elimination Chamber qualifiers…

Powell’s POV: This one went longer than necessary, but Bliss was really over with the live crowd.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviewed Women’s U.S. Champion Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. Saxton mentioned that Green will face Naomi in an Elimination Chamber qualifier. Green spoke of becoming a double champion.

Michin and B-Fab showed up. B-Fab said Green eliminating her from the Royal Rumble was in the front of her mind. Michin said that Green might make it into the Chamber match, but she might not be the U.S. Champion. Michin told her to stop stalling and said we all know the inevitable.

Zelina Vega entered the picture after Michin and B-Fab left. Vega said now that she’s on Smackdown, maybe it’s time that she gets a title shot. Green was flustered and told Niven that she needed a bigger security detail. “How many people hate you?” Niven asked…

Tessitore hyped the tag team main event… [C] A shot aired of Memphis while a side screen graphic listed the results of the show’s matches… The signs of the night segment took place…

“The Street Profits” Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins were featured in a video promo. Dawkins asked DIY if they thought they would win the tag titles and not see the Profits. He said they wouldn’t be in this situation had their title shot not been given away. A fired up Dawkins tossed his crutch aside.

Ford said he loves the passion and he feels it and knows it. Ford spoke about strangers coming in and getting title shots. He said they have to stay together. Ford closed by saying the Profits want the smoke…

Saxton interviewed “The Motor City Machine Guns” Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. They spoke about how they had DIY beat. “Los Garza” Angel and Berto showed up and told them to get over it. The Guns took issue with Los Garza walking out on them during the eight-man tag match.

Santos Escobar and Elektra Lopez showed up. Escobar said the Profits started the whole mess by attacking them for no reason. He said if it’s a fight they are looking for, they would get it next week. Escobar told them to be prepared…

The broadcast team hyped the following match for next week’s Smackdown in Washington, D.C.: Tiffany Stratton vs. Nia Jax for the WWE Championship, Chelsea Green vs. Naomi in an Elimination Chamber qualifier, and Damian Priest vs. Jacob Fatu vs. Braun Strowman in a Triple Threat Elimination Chamber qualifying match (and apparently MCMG vs. Los Garza)….

A video package aired for the Priest vs. Fatu vs. Strowman match…

Jey Uso made his entrance for the main event tag match… [C] The fans were still rocking to Jey’s entrance theme coming out of the break (yes, for a second time tonight!). Cody Rhodes made his entrance wearing a sleeveless robe. Cody had his right elbow wrapped. He signed an autograph and posed for a selfie on his way to the ring. The entrance of Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga followed…

6. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso vs. Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga. Cody went for a Cody Cutter, but Fatu blocked it and superkicked a seated Cody. Fatu followed up with a senton splash heading into a PIP break. [C]

Jey was down at ringside when Cody hit Fatu with a Cody Cutter. Cody covered Fatu for the pin, but Fatu kicked out at one. Cody set up for CrossRhodes, but Fatu drove him into the heel corner where Tonga tagged in. Fatu went for a corner splash, but Cody moved and Fatu’s head hit the ting post casing.

Tonga spiked Cody’s head on the mat and got a two count. Cody came right back and went up top, but Fatu shoved him to the mat. Tonga performed a jumping DDT for another near fall. Fatu ran the ropes, but Jey tripped him up from the floor. Jey returned to the ring and then hit a suicide dive that sent Fatu over the broadcast table. Cody hit Tonga with CrossRhodes and then pinned him.

Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso defeated Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga in 11:20.

After the match, Cody was celebrating the win when Solo Sikoa entered the ring wearing a black hoodie. Sikoa hit Cody with a Samoan Spike and then stood over Cody as the show went off the air…

Powell’s POV: With Solo returning, this felt like a good spot to give the heels a tainted victory, but I guess the creative forces didn’t want to have Cody or Jey take a pinfall loss. Overall, three hours is still too long for a weekly pro wrestling television show, but they did a nice job of filling the time this week. It helped to have Elimination Chamber qualifiers adding stakes to some of the matches. I will be back later tonight with my weekly same night audio review of Smackdown for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons). Let me know what you thought of Smackdown by grading the show below.

Join me on Saturday night for my live review of AEW Collision.

  1. You’re working hard today, Jason Powell.

    Game 3 is missing and it’s listed from game 4. Please fix the error.

    I always enjoy watching.

  2. The Charlotte Flair push is reminding me of how Vince TRIED TRIED TRIED to push Roman Reigns on everyone. Yawn

    • As a Production guy, that whole sequence->Charlotte->Tiffy->Nia/Candace->Alexa was really one of the stiffest and poorest done I’ve seen in a long time. On so many levels, not the least being the timing of the spots. When somthing is awkward lately, it really stands out

  3. “B-Fat said Green eliminating her from the Royal Rumble was in the front of her mind.”

    I realize it was just a simple typo, but part of me wants to believe that Chris Farley came back from the grave talking trash about Green.
