Well, this is a bit of a change of pace here, isn't it?

Solomon's here with you on a Friday afternoon, not a Friday night.

But, you know, when the show is three hours long and you really don't have a reason to go live at 11.30 at night, you don't go live at 11.30 at night.

Especially when it's a go home show where you don't really expect a whole lot to happen that's going to be terribly important.

But that's what this was.

This was the final Smackdown, heading into one of the biggest shows of the entire year.

My favorite show usually of the year, the Royal Rumble.

And they were in Riyadh at their new stadium that will be hosting the Royal Rumble tomorrow.

So you got to see what this new stadium that didn't exist a month ago.

As Triple H said, I think on his social media, it was a strip of dirt.

And now it's a stadium that apparently can fit over 30,000 people.

And they slaved over it for about a month.

You know, my hope is at least for the people, you know, if they even give a shit about

any of this, for the people that were working around the clock 24 hours on this

stadium, hopefully they at least carved out a little section of the stadium where they

could sit and watch the show for free.

Of course, T.K.O. doesn't like giving away anything for free.

So maybe they'll charge them reduced prices for their tickets. I don't know.

But we got a big main event as far as Star Power is concerned. I mean Star Power in terms of the

current roster in the main event because they set up a big eight-man tag with many of the names

that are going to be in the Royal Rumble match tomorrow and Sammy Zane who will not be in the

Rumble but he will be challenging for the WWE championship and the vision was on the show as well
