0:00.0	Hello and thank you so much for joining me, your wrestling librarian today for the Smackdown
0:29.4	Post Show here on Fightful for October 17th, 2025. Thanks for hanging out with me on this Friday
0:36.4	night. Go in solo for this one. I don't think Sean will be popping on here, but I wouldn't be stunned if he was because we actually had quite an eventful little smackdown today. So talk about it with me. I'm going to need your help today. I am on my own out here. So get in your super chats. Get in your Humperchats at Humperchats.com.
0:55.6	Please do leave a thumbs up on this video. You have no idea how much that helps us in the
1:00.2	algorithm. I'm going alone. I need those. I need those thumbs up for the validation as much
1:06.1	as the algorithm needs it. But please do, please do leave a thumbs up. Subscribe to this YouTube
1:12.4	channel if you haven't already. We've got a big setup for the end of this year into

1:50.1	way. And we even got the language specifically used in the contract of what's been going on
1:55.6	with Andrade. If you are not in the know, well, we invite you to be in the know on Fightful Select about
2:01.7	what's going on with Andrade, but sounds like there was some confusion over whether or not there
2:06.0	was a non-compete when he showed up on AEW. There's a lot of things that need to happen to get
2:13.3	that straightened out. But Fightful Slack.com has all of the juiciest details on that.
2:18.9	And so much more.
2:20.9	We had a loaded report about Seth Rollins's injury as well.
2:25.3	We had a Jamie Hater interview up there early for subscribers, but that is now public.
2:30.1	You can go see Jamie Hater and Sean recast Scooby-Doo since J.V. Hater is so Daphne inspired.
2:37.7	Daphne coded, as the kids say.
