To the Vision started off this week's episode of Smackdown. They are of course Raw's top heel group and I really don't mind.

But I think now WW should take the brand split and kick it out the window, rather than when you get to a big event like the Royal Rumble or War games, all of a sudden everyone can just jump a roo wherever they want to go. Though saying that, I don't think

WW had a draft this year,

so maybe we're not going to do it

until one day they want to boost ratings

and they'll do it again.

I just think we should kill it for good. Also, like my friends and welcome to ups and downs for WW. Smackerdown from November 21st, 2025. My name is Simon Middleball, idiot, and yes, we're going to give the good bits and up and the bad bits are down. I watch the wrestling so you're not have to, and if you'd like to trust in my opinion, that's great.

And if you want to call me an a-hole, there is a comment section down there. Sound good, awesome, shake hands, let's go. Had a bit of a weird promo as well, because Paul Heyman said that at the war games, Brom Breaker is going to take a bite out of everybody's ass.

I instantly looked at him and said,

I really hope you don't mean that literally.

Bronson Reeds also get a bunch of tsunamis, and this actually came down to science or maths or physics, where you want to say, because now there's two rings, which is one more than one ring, which means we have an extra set of turnbuckles, which means he'd go up there and he can hit even more tsunamis, I don't want to be that guy, but I don't think it makes a difference. Either way, the heroes want to defeat evil. They're going to have to get evil, which sounds like a cartoon show. When Logan Ball would actually go to read his promo off his hand, he had five points written down when the Uso's decided, we don't want to hear from that guy, and they interrupted. Now, of course, the grifters on the internet are posting pictures pretending that Logan Paul was secretly reading off his hand. Now, listen, I've made my thoughts on Logan Paul very clear, but come on, man, don't make stuff up. That's absolutely ridiculous, and you look a little bit like a fool. Now Jay actually did say nobody wants to hear what you've got to say, Logan. And I laughed like his mum was going, yeah, you tell him, Mr. Yeat. When Paul Hamer was all like, wait a minute, the biggest thing I ever taught you in the bloodline was that the numbers game is most important. And I was like, that's all you taught them in the bloodline. Like, well, that's a waste of time when Jimmy Uso is like, of course we remember that. And who came out to help them? Cody Rhodes. And this was good and everybody popped. But there was no CM Punk. There was no Roman reigns. So those guys have abandoned ship. And also, Cody didn't come to the ring because we cut backstage. Drew McIntyre had committed a crime, he'd broken onto Cody's

bus, and he basically killed him. Like he was quite literally hanging off the driver's seat. Lazzick, even if you did beat somebody up on their bus, how the hell did he end up in that position? One of the crime can. The users, of course, went to check on him, but it's a bit like Jay. Jimmy, you are way too late.

Look at this dude.

And of course, it was just a nice build to war games.

But I do have to say... to check on him, but it's a bit like Jay. Jimmy, you are way too late. Look at this dude. And of course,

it was just a nice build to war games. But I do have to say, the idea of Drew McIntyre in a build with something with Cody Rhodes being an absolute beast and then getting to the main event, or the big match losing, well, it's become a little bit parse, but we're going to have to wait and see what happens at war games.

Just imagine that Drew McIntyre takes the pin, though.

I don't think he will,

but loads of people will be melting. but we're going to have to wait and see what happens at war games. Just imagine that Drew McIntyre takes the pin, though.

I don't think he will, but loads of people will be melting down, but it was a hot angle and it was going to tie it later. Give it up. We then had our US Open Challenge next, and Tomaso Chumper was nowhere to be seen at first, but thankfully we did address that later, but it was J.D. McDonough taken on Elyard Draganoff.

And the reason J.D. was there because Finn Baller had a match in the John Sina. Thanks, we did address that later, but it was JD Macdonough taken on Elia Dragonoff.

And the reason JD was there, because Finn Baller had a match to the John Cena, the time is now tournament. So McDonough was just like, well, listen, if I'm going to make the trip, I may as well have a match. This was so damn good, though, and ever since Draganoff has come back, he's been on fire. And actually, if you do go through 2025 in general, JD has had a pretty terrific 2025.
