So I cracked up at the start of this week's episode of Smackdown, which is a me problem.

0:03.4

There was no reason to laugh.

0:04.8

But Cody Rhodes and Nick Aldous bumped into each other and Cody was like, what is going to happen to say Nick Aldis? And Nick Aldous basically went, well, Gunther's going to turn up and he's going to let us know the stipulation because of course you have a tag team title match next week. Tant team title. You have a world title match next week. they may as well have gone exposition exposition.

0:22.5

Cody, they bumped into the Usos,

0:23.9

and of course they're allowed to be on Smet. next week, Tancy title, you have a world title match next week, they may as well have gone exposition,

0:21.7

exposition. Cody, they're bumped into the Usos, and of course they're allowed to be on Smackdown because Jay Uso is in a King of the Ring match, and essentially Jay went out and I'm going to win the king of the ring and come after your WWE title, and Cody was like, well, I hope you're doing it for you and not Roman Rains, as that Cody, you know, watch the show,

0:37.9

they're definitely doing it for Roman.

0:39.3

So basically Cody is losing friends faster than I. was like, well, I hope you're doing it for you. And not Roman Rains. As that Cody, you don't watch the show, they're definitely doing it for Roman.

0:39.3

So basically, Cody is losing friends faster than I lost my hair. Hello, my friends. Well, good ups and downs. The only rest of you show you need. And that's basically the premise here. We're going to wiggle our fingers around, which is not a euphemism. If we like something, we give it an up, if we don't like something, we give it a down.

0:52.9

But it's not the end of the world.

0:54.2

Remember, saying a down, isn't like, oh my gosh, it's the worst thing.

0:57.3

I've ever seen them, my life. If we like something, we give it an up, if we don't like something, we give it a down. But it's not the end of the world. Remember saying a down, isn't like, oh my gosh, it's the worst thing.

0:57.3

I've ever seen it in my life. It just meant on this particular given day, it wasn't for me. And if it was for you, I'll do the dance of joy. Let's go. Drake Argyll then lied to us because she cut a quick promo saying,

1:07.4

oh, I'm going to win the Queen of the Ring,

1:09.3

and then she had a Queen of the Ring match, and she lost.

1:12.2

This was super-duper fun, though, because it was to win the Queen of the Ring, and then she had a Queen of the Ring match,

1:15.4

and she lost. This was super-duper fun, though, because it was Lyra of O'Kirrera versus Solruca,

1:27.5

versus Charlotte Flaher, versus Jake Cargill. So really, you could have picked any of them, and I think it would have made sense. I don't even though these four ways have been a bit ridiculous because it was WWB going, we don't want some people to lose in terms of rocking them out on television, a couple of thumbs. I would hazard the guess as well that maybe Jade Cargill screws over Charlotte Flair in the next round. And also, we had Charlotte and Jade going at it in the ring. These fans seem pretty pumped. That's absolutely a match you can do down the line. But yes, it was just, well, quite a joy to watch, to be honest, because it was fun.

1:45.0

And we got to the finish, and it was you do a move, I'd do a move. And then because it's

1:48.3

throughout the people, they'll do a move, and we'll be screwed for the one, two, three. Got it good. Of course, halfway through all of this, the badies got involved, then Tiffany Stratton was here Alexa Bliss was here and they all thought off to the back when I'll try and get this right but I'll

1:59.3

probably get it wrong because so absolutely got the sole snatch.

2:01.8

She was going to get the victory.
