A couple of things we do get into this week's episode of Smackdown.

I just wanted to send thoughts and feelings to Joe Doring's friends and family because he did very sadly pass away this week at just 44 years of age, which I can't even imagine. And if you do have a few minutes today, just go Google this man because he had such an underrated career. He went here, there and everywhere, and also in terms of this show. I remember when we were doing ups and downs with TNA during the pandemic, and he joined Violent by Design. All that stuff with Eric Young was a wonderful distraction because they were absolute loons. So yeah, once again, just thoughts to everyone that did know him as a horrible, horrible story. On the flip side, though, Trick Williams also announced on this week's episode of Smackdown. He has recently got engaged and married to Last Legend, didn't need the engaged part in there. So, congratulations to him. Sometimes it's nice to be nice. Also, my friends, Wodo Ups and Downs, the only wrestling of a U-Show You Need with I, I, Simon Miller, a man that is going to sweat throughout this episode of Ups and Dance, because it's so damn hot in the UK, which is why I am essentially naked. And yes, you may have seen this episode of Smackdown on Wednesday, because it did leak on the internet. Why is this a big deal? I understand WWE being upset, but you read some of these posts and you think it's the end of days, it's just a television show that released early. I think we'll get over it. But yes, Trick Williams and a little

yachtie were in the ring just going, oh my gosh, we're so happy we were able to get married, not those two, I'm talking about Last Legend. When out came Ricky Saints and he was all like, I don't like you, but that's why at night of champions, I'm going to win your championship, and then he smacked the small boat and he smacked Trick Williams, and Trick Williams was mad. essentially there should have been a big sign in your face

throughout this whole thing saying

Ricky Saints is not winning this United States Championship at night of champions. And we only did this to give him something, but really he ain't getting nothing after the fact. Because of course we were in the UK, Trick Williams had to say the line, I'm going to whoop your ass to London Bridge, which I have to think is quite far away from the O2 Arena, so that probably wouldn't work.

And listen, the only reason I zoomed through this is because it was fine. It was okay. It was a bit like, well, we are going to Saudi Arabia at the weekend, but we are stopping through the UK, so let's just do a segment that felt varied by the numbers, but they're lucky because Trick Williams can talk, Ricky Saints can talk,

and you know what, you're going to give Trick Williams can talk, Ricky Saints can talk,

and you know what, you're going to give the small boat his props, or his engine, I suppose. That dude can talk too. So it was fine, we're never going to discuss this again, and yes, again, I do not think that Trick Williams is losing that belt any time soon. I also think it will likely be Carmela Hayes versus Trick at SummerSlam, and that feud is drowning in history, so I'll give it and up.

But yes, let's move on, and then just leave it there.

I mean, I don't have that much else to say about it.

Then had Alexa Blair and Tiffany Stratt and cutting a promo together. This is why sometimes WW does such odd things.

Because Alexa was like, I am mad at you, Jake, Carl Gill, Meachan and B fan,

but everything you do with Charlotte Flair.

So rather take you on in singles competition, for everything you do to do with Charlotte Flair.

So rather take you on in singles competition, which is something I could do, I am going to team up with Tiffany Shretton, even though I don't like Tiffany. And Tiffany was like, well, you know, I don't like you either. So I was like, well, how on earth are you expected to get the victory? and surprise, surprise, they did walk out there

and they got B-Fam and Meechin and they lost.

Somebody called Agatha Christie.

I guess that was actually a plus, because W.W.E is doing a decent job with the baddie, so they should get some wins because they are meant to be the proper tag team, taking on two people that hate each other. And just when Tiffany Stratton was going to go for the PMA, Jake Gargill was like, ha, nobody's watching me.

She murked her. When Bfab hit the X Factor and got the one, two, three. And this probably happened last week and I've forgotten, so now I'm going to make it like an idiot. But I was like, when was the last time, even with distraction, BFab hit her move and got a pin over someone? This felt like a size McMint. It was kind of surprising, though, because of course this was Jay Cargill standing tall over Tiffley Stratton, which he did do again later. So now if we are going to go by the wrestling trope book, I do not think that Tiffany Stratton is losing that belt at Night of Champions. And again, if you heard me ranting and Raven last week, well, I kind of felt like Jake Cargill should win. Chelsea Green also ran out to make the save because we were going to do Chelsea versus Jay later on. This was so good because she had a Kendo stick. When she got in the ring, it kind of got caught in the ropes and pinged on out. But Chelsea is such a good performer. She laughed it off and she improvved her way into a beat down. We really got to do more with Chelsea, but we'll talk about that later. So we'll see what happens at the pay-per-view again. I still think Jay Cargill should get the victory, although now I'm starting to think that come SummerSlam, it's probably going to be something crazy like Tiffany Stratt versus Charlotte Flair versus Bliss versus Chelsea Green, versus somebody else I've now forgotten about. Did I say Jay Cargill? Probably not, but again, this was just fine. It was very similar to the first segment. I watched it and I was like,

yep, well, I can see what we just fine. It was very similar to the first segment.

I watched it and I was like, yep, well, I can see what we're doing. We're just kind of planting some seeds in order to get to Saturday.

But otherwise, was there really a need to discuss it after the fact? No, but I'm still happy to tell you what did happen.
