Welcome, welcome, welcome to After the Bell. I am still Corey Graves. Believe it or not, I am still running on fumes. My body has still not adjusted to the new schedule, but we are here.

The hottest new tag team on Friday night Smackdown myself and KP Kevin Patrick KP. I'm leaning on you this week, man. I'm still out of gas. What's going on?

Good, buddy. How you keeping? I mean, what a joy it was to be alongside Michael Cole on the commentary desk and you two of the greats of all time and I'm sitting there in the middle.

One happy camper and I love the experience. I must say it was it was a brilliant show loads of fun. We were done at 8 p.m. Are you joking me? Calgary Alberta time.

I wasn't entirely certain even when we were there that I had never been to Calgary and I looked back and I believe it was my first experience there.

Absolute nightmare getting there. Travel got messed up Thursday, flew in Friday morning. I was running on empty when I arrived at the saddle dome, the historic Scotiabank saddle dome, but what a nice city, man. What a great way to kick things off and a hell of a night.

As I mentioned last week in my opinion remains the same Jimmy Usso still a piece of human garbage despite his explanation. I guess I sort of in a weird backhanded way understood what he was going for claiming he didn't want Jay to become a new Roman reigns a tyrannical tribal chief.

But the last we saw of Jay Usso on Friday night Smackdown KP Adios see you buy Jay Usso MIA.

It's an abusive relationship and at some point you've got to walk away at some point you've got to say dooses I'm done I'm not dealing with this BS anymore and that was the case for Jay you could see it in his eyes.

There was nearly a sense of relief like a weight lifted off his shoulders to be like I'm done with you guys done with the bloodline and I'm done with WWE I'm out as he walks through the crowd.

It was a stunning end and even you on commentary was like wait did call did he just say I'm done with WWE and now bring on tonight because I haven't got a Scooby-Doo.

This is going to play out now we've got to see you know what happens it's kind of exciting yet it's kind of scary in a way too because I don't want Jay to leave.

And dooses ooses and if we learn anything from the bloodline in all of its constant evolution it's just when you think you figure out where the story is going to go.

They change the proverbial questions rather than sitting here and speculating let's just let it all play out.

There's a lot to talk about on Friday night Smackdown our new home our first night.

My first night back your first night on Friday night Smackdown no shortage of big events things to talk about our guest who's going to be joining us here on ATB in just a matter of time now the former United States champion Austin theory of course being dethroned by none other than Ray Mysterio.

You had the Hall of Famer Edge make a match that's going down tonight against the Celtic Warrior Shamus pick something KP where do you want to jump off me let's not let's not gloss over that.

The Hall of Famer Edge returning in Canada Calgary Alberta the place went absolutely bonkers and then he calls out Shamus and this was such a rare moment that I'm not used to seeing as a commentator on the desk right this kind of lovable moment with a fellow like Shamus.

And then the words at the end being like hope you didn't make a mistake as if to say like I'm going to destroy all power you know but for edge look there are rumors circulating online that this could be edges last match in WWE.

No idea if that's true or not I hope it's not because I love having edge around the place I love having them in our TVL our locker room having a guy like Ray Mysterio and edge walking in in the conversations that we all have and and that I'm privy to just sitting there.

You know as you engage with the likes of edge and and Ray it's a joy man so I certainly hope it's not the case for edge but if it is what a career.

I don't know doubt about it and I I hate to speculate and I try to do my best not to obviously all of this involves people high above our pay grade I'm not involved in the day to day the contractual things going on I don't know how that works all I know is I am grateful as I know you are to be back in the presence of our friend Adam.
