We will be reacting to the SmackDown season premiere. We see a number of confrontations take place between Roman and Ali Knight, Roman and Cody, and Jade Cargill and Charlotte.

Plus, what were Triple H's announcements and how will they impact the landscape of SmackDown? You won't want to miss it.

This season premiere, Mark, ended up actually being a freaking banger man.

We ended up having a show that was super newsworthy. I came out of last night's SmackDown, and I was feeling like, alright, this actually feels like a season premiere.

You know what I'm talking about, Mark, when you're watching your favorite show, and all of a sudden there's this new character.

They have some back and forth with Roman Reigns basically telling John Cena that he's a coward.

And he comes out, man, he gets out there. He gets into the face of Roman Reigns.
