It's pure chaos at the beginning of Smackdown because Jay Uso is seen being put into an ambulance and there is loads and loads of people just yelling and shouting all around it and then Nick Aldus comes in and Jacob Fartu is getting in the ambulance with Jay Uso and he's shouting at Nick Aldis just saying, you gotta find out who did it! And then Cody's coming in and he's yelling at Nick and Aldeus saying like, what is happening here, how is all this stuff happening backstage, this is ridiculous. and then Trick Williams comes in and he's like,

0:23.6

one man down, four to go. yelling at Nick and all this saying like what is happening here how is all this stuff happening backstage this is ridiculous and then Trick Williams comes in and

0:23.1

he's like one man down four to go huh-ha-ha and then John Evans comes in he's like what

0:27.5

you think this is funny and then Drew McIntyre's voice just comes out of nowhere

0:31.7

disembodied in the background and he just says four letters one word uh-uh

0:36.1

Drew and then we see him walking down the crowd in the arena. He was saying he had nothing to do with what happened to Jay Uso, and then the screen kind of went black and you could hear like knock on this in the background. I don't know if that was a mistake or whether that was on purpose to try and add to the chaos, but whatever. And then Nicole this comes out, he yells at Drew saying, I've had enough of this, and he's got loads of security guards.

0:54.8

And he's like, Drew, get into my office, you, you bastard you. And then Cody storms out and he's like, Drew, let's fight now, God damn it. And then Drew runs off into the crowd and he says, no, it won't benefit him to have a scrap now. He's just going to go away instead and walks off. know it's getting serious because Cody yells at Drew and he's like your entire title rating has been you running like a little bitch and that's definitely the big serious word in WW. And then Randy Orton's music hits and his only concern is winning the elimination chamber. He doesn't really care about anything else. And then he's just going to beat Drew at Messalmania and become 15 time world champion. And then Trick Williams's music hits and he is really, really over. He says they're at the KFC Centre, so he wants to add a little flavour to the menu. But before he can say what that flavour is and talk about his lemon pepper peppers, Javan Evans comes out and he is here to make a statement and say that he's going to be the youngest world champion ever and beat Randy Orton's record and then

1:44.2

LA Knight comes and he tries and fails dismally to put on Trick Williams' jacket not a strong moment there LA Knight but he says he's gonna win the chamber match with everybody saying L oh night yeah but before he could say the LA Knight yeah bit

1:57.2

Trick Williams interrupts him and says whoop that trick and? And then Ellie Knight's like, you, what?

2:01.6

Did you just say, whoop that trick?

2:02.6

And tricks like, yeah.

2:03.6

And Ellie Knight's like, oh, don't mind if I do. And then punches him in the face and then they all have a big scrap and then they fight out the ring and they disappear up the sort of entrance ramp thing. Randy Lawton, RKO's Jivon Evans, kind of over-dough, and then him and Cody face off, and then it ends.

2:19.6

Chaos! So this was a really fun... And then Randy Lawton, RKO's Jivon Evans, kind of over-down at nowhere, and then him and Cody face off, and then it ends.

2:19.3

Chaos!

2:20.3

So this was a really fun opening to SmackDown way better than last week and many, many other weeks of just the big, long promo battles that don't really build to anything or go anywhere.

2:33.3

This was just, let's just get everybody in there, say everybody's going to win, have a bit of chaos, a bit of what's going to happen next kind of vibes. The kind of like attitude era chaos thing is what they're trying to go for here, I think. And it was just a lot of fun, and I enjoyed this. And it mixed up sort of the opening to SmackDown, which has been a bit dry recently,

2:51.9

let's just say. So I had a really good time with it. It got over the match, it got over

2:55.7

the stakes, everybody has once a piece of Drew McIntyre. So yeah, I liked it up. But yes, I am
