Angry Drew McIntyre kicked off this week's episode of Smackdown, which always feels like it happens a lot.

0:04.7

And he was like, Nick Aldous, I can't believe he did this to me. And Nick Aldous, who's looking over, the codeos Randi on contract, he came out and said, Drew, I am going to be your daddy. Should I say, Daddy, I'm going to be your father at Star Wars. Basically, you're to blame here, right? you have to go out there and be an absolute asshole, so you're suffering the consequences, so I do not want to hear from you. Also, like my friends, I've got to ups and downs, the only resting-vost show you need. What is a revog show? I don't know. But it's a review show, and it's a revoke show, and in May, which is like a couple of months away. We will be 10 years old, so let's get planned for some celebrations. I do have some things in

0:39.2

mind. So I thought I'd start teasing now, but in May, which is like a couple of months away, we will be 10 years old, so let's get planned for some

0:37.7

celebrations. I do have some things in mind. So I thought I'd start teasing now, but it is Saturday, and we have just had an episode of Smackerdown, and Randy Ordo went totally crazy. Let's give the good bits of up, bad bits of down. Now, Nick Cowdery did go in here too, because He was like, Drew McIntow, you ain't going to get nothing.

0:52.4

And also, isn't it very interesting?

0:54.6

The one time you did have a fair fight with Cody Rhodes, you did lose.

0:57.9

And Drew... too because he was like, Drew McIntyre, you ain't going to get nothing. And also, isn't it very interesting? The one time you did have a fair fight with Cody Rhodes, you did lose. And

0:58.0

Drew McIntyre was all like, you are a corporate stooge. You would have thought he said to Nick Aldis, I am going to burn your entire house down. Nick, he lost his mind. He's like, you know where I've come from. Do not call me a corporate stooch.

1:09.0

This is when Jacob A2 came to the rings.

1:10.6

I guess he will not hear somebody have their personality besmirched like this.

1:14.3

He was like, oh, let's go through the facts, Drew McIntyre. You only won the WWE title because I interfered. And why did you lose last week? Because me, Jacob FATU, interfered as well. So basically screw you. Now Drew McIntyre looked like he was going to melt down,

1:28.3

but instead for the third time in recent memory, he went, I quit, and he walked away, but actually this was going to be a Larry David situation, and it was basically the start of a show-long storyline. Now, in terms of whether you need to go watch this segment, I would say no, it was very by the numbers, but it was fine. You had to follow up for what did happen last week.

1:45.6

And of course, we also had to start teasing Jacob for two verses Drew Bacentire, which was always going to go down at WrestleMania. I'm going to give it an up, but yeah, basically just tick the boxes. Then cut to Solis of Col and the MFTs who were talking about the White. Excuse me, I fell down because I can't handle this feudity more. Pembertonger now in control the lantern though. And so Solos Oka-Nakou is like, oh my gosh,

2:03.6

can't believe we got the lantern. Then the rest of the MFTs less. So in-walk Shinska-Nakamora. And he's a dad too, because he's like, Tametanga, you should forget about this light bulb. and you should go out and do your own thing

2:13.5

and then Solo came back in and said

2:15.2

I will kick your arisinska Nakamura

2:16.8

I kind of stared off into the distance

2:18.8

I was like I like everybody in this segment

2:21.1

like a thing and then Solo came back in and said, I will kick your arrows since Kenakamura.

2:35.2

I kind of stared off into the distance. I was like, I like everybody in this segment. Like I think the entertaining performers, this feud is going to be the end of me. Jacob II was also super mad because Druid left. So now what he's going to do? So he went and yelled Nick Aldous and Nick was like, I'm trying to sort it out all right, where Trick Williams, who's literally right here,

2:36.9

I need something to represent Jacob and Toot.

3:24.5

This will do, but Jacob and Two was here talking to Nick Aldous, Trick Williams was like right behind his head. It's like we have like peripheral feelings you would have known. Anyway, they did eventually fall out because Nick Aldous never books a show that will take up the three hours. He was like, ha ha, you can be the main event. Though to be fair, that did get me intrigued, because Jacobford 2 versus Trick Williams felt like a fresh match. It was in time for the MFTs versus the Wyatt. Sorry, I fell down again. I'm just going to give it down. I can't, just can't handle it anymore. Once again, everybody in here has an upside, but WWW is not leaning into it at all. I think this started in the summer of 2005, 2005, 2025, or at least it feels like that. It just goes on and on. And why is it Nikki Cross to be in the women's division? I just don't understand. Please just end it. This is one of those times where you can just go, shh, we're not going to talk about it anymore,
