To start of this week's episode of Smackdown saw Drew McIntyre arrive at the building.

My hand went up. It's like, Drew, you do not understand what suspended means. This is why that war game's rule is absolutely ridiculous because Drew now thinks, Ha ha, can do whatever I want. Also, his plan totally sucked because Nick Alders then walked in and said, Drew, you can't do this. McIntyre's like, well, I've got to do it anyway. When he just decided to leave, I have no idea.

So, Nicky must have Jedi mind powers. When he got back in his car, somehow Cody Rhodes had snuck in. Essentially, Cody Rhodes committed a felon, because my gosh, he beat the absolute piss out of Drew McIntyre. Now, to be fair, Cody Rhodes then just stormed to the ring. So it was quite a, oh my gosh, start to Smackdown.

Also, hello, my friends.

Well, good, two ups and downs.

It only rests with you. and Drew McIntyre. Now, to be fair, Cody Road then just stormed to the ring. So it was quite a, oh my gosh, start to Smackdown.

Also, hello, my friends.

Welcome to two ups and downs. It only wrestling with you show you need. And if you can believe it, we're like one week away from John Senor's last ever match. And as somebody who has been watching wrestling for that entire time, good grief, do I feel old? Also, thank you very much to Norton for supporting this video and sponsoring this video and all those things.

We have a link down there in the description to get this VPN, which, of course, is going to keep you safe online and allow you to choose what region you, what your content from, which may tie into Saturday's main event. It's totally up to you, and you're going to get more than 70% off. There also should be a QR code so you can smack that one too. And if you're in Australia,

it's different for being in Europe and it's different from being in America. And it's different from being in other places. We'll guide you through it. Okay. But thank you very much. So, then, for sponsoring the video. Now let's take the finger of power and up the downs for Smackdown. But yeah, Cody did run to the ring. It was like Drew McIntyre. I can't stand you. And at first I was like,

why are we going back to this feud? And then Rhodes went, you beat me on my bus a couple of weeks ago. And that's why I spent time with my family and my kids. I said, yeah, he did do that. He left Cody in that bizarre position. And even now I'm thinking about it. I don't know how we ended up that way.

Cody has decided though that Drew is nothing more than a cockroach, and of course a

cockroach can even, like, survive a nuclear fallout, so he told Nicky Aldish to reinstate Drew McIntyre because essentially he wants to whip his ass. This is very interesting. We are quite clearly going to the third match, and Drew McIntyre doesn't win that one. What the flub are we doing? But once again,

Randy Orton wasn't on this show, which is getting very curious. I think somehow this is all going to tie in if I was going to pull the most ridiculous situation out of my behind. I'd probably say maybe Randy Orn Cost Curry Rhodes, the WW title, although yeah, that's two plus two extra potato. How does that make any sense? I just don't think Drew can go 0 and 3. That's going to do nothing for him. But I tell you this. At first, given that I did think this was a bit long in the tooth, I'm still going to give it an up because Cody Rhodes, he understood the assignment. He went totally crazy here. By the end of it, I was like, damn it, you got me. I then laughed out loud because DIY were backstage going, we're going to win that US title. And it was an open challenge. When they let Carmela Hayes just walked past him and he went, ha ha, I've got next. So they are so bad at this. And of course, Mello called to Musso Champura Jackass. Because that's the name that we're trying to get over. He is an ass named Jack. Even though his name's Champa, I don't know why you watch the show. We also have this Damien Priest video and essentially we're finally getting this big tag team match next week because yes, he is re-duing, which is not a term, with Rear Ripley. And I say this, right? I do like it. I think those two together have great chemistry. And the video that Alistair and Blackensley, Vega cut later also worked. But I kind of think, whatever we do do in seven days time, it has to be the end. Okay, this thing is just been going on and on. And this is really too drawn out. I'm going to hold fire for now because you can see that they're giving it their all, but somebody just needs to inject something into this. Although ending a feud on a tag team match, it's kind of strange. I'm going to park this one for now, and also screw it. I'll talk about it. Zelina Vega, in her promo, had a snake around her neck, and nobody addressed this. I guess now we can call her Zelina Snake. What? We went right into Kamala Hayes v. Eidio Dragon off for the US title. It's just so easy to watch because as always they have a chat in the back where they go, well, I'm going to kill you. The other guy goes, well, I'm going to kill you. And it really does make for some compelling television mean, I must have booted Carmelo in the face so hard about three times.

And on one of them, he fell to the outside and because he was so intense, he basically hurt himself.

And Carmelo was like, well, I'm not really a baby face.

I'm not ready a heel, but I do won that championship.

So damn it, I'm going to take advantage.

Dragon was still able to German suplex him all around the place, all of a sudden Carmelo came back with like springboards and he hit a DDT, I believe. When he went for the first 48th, so that didn't work, so Dragon was like, I'm going to hit with an H-bomb and that didn't work when Carmelo was hitting the most devastating move. In all the sports entertainment, the surprise role, for one-two oos, And while I never actually thought that Carmelo was going to win,

surely this is yet another advert for WWE that just reads, push Carmelo in 2026.

Then got another boot to the face. This is when Hayes threw Ilya Drakhanov to the outside.

And once again, that land looked absolutely terrible. And just when it looked like Mello was going
