We have a WWE Smackdown review back in our normal time slide.

You know, I miss the earlier shows.

I have to say, I do miss the earlier shows.

Yes, the international tour is over.

And so we are back in the United States.

Smackdown was in Chicago tonight, a very newsworthy episode of Smackdown.

A good show, not a great show, but a good show, but a very, very newsworthy show with

WrestleMania repercussions.

It all ties into the favor that CM Punk was owed by Paul Hamel.

We've been hearing about this favor now for months.

Going back to war games in November.

What was the favor?

Last week, we thought we had it all figured out because we had the triple threat match solidified as the night one main event in Las Vegas.

CM Punk, Roman Rain, Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman telling Punk, it's in the contract, you got what you wanted.

And then that little line there at the end of the show, right as they were going off the air,

with CM Punk telling Roman Raines, but that's not the favor I'm owed, which was a great cliffhanger.

But I wasn't sure if they were actually going to tell us what the favor was the

following week. As it turned out, they built the entire show around it. Right from the beginning,

with a segment we had with Punk and Heyman all the way, and they made us wait until the end of the

three hours to find out what it was. And I've been saying the entire time, one thing that they

really should do is add something tangible to the triple threat match

of WrestleMania.
