Hello and welcome to the Smackdown preview I'm Adam Wilborn from what called you're joined by one of the deadly boys, Michael

Sidgwick from what called you're here to look ahead to tonight's episode of Smackdown

on Fox.

But before we get into it, if you're a fan of this sort of thing make sure you subscribe to what

called wrestling on either iTunes Spotify wherever you get your podcast from for daily wrestling

podcast well we know only review raw and smackdown but also the Wednesday Night War between

AEW and

NXT, pay-per-views, we have interviews,

round-table discussions, and a roundup of the week

complete with a bloody good quiz, of course,

on Wrestle culture.

As I said, though, joined by Michael Citrix, look ahead to Smackdown tonight.

And first of all, Michael Citrix, would love to know your thoughts on the closing angle from Smackdown last week.

Adam Pierce's cunning plan to sign Roman Reigns up to a last man standing match with Kevin Owens.

What did you reckon to it and how do you think Roman is going to respond to that this week?

Mm. Right. to that

this week. Um, right, the thing about this storyline is that if this was written by a normal

pro wrestling booker and not Vince McMahon, I understand that Paul Haman has a degree of creative

influence etc. They've leaned in so heavily on the idea that Kevin Owens has been beaten up, battered, thrown off things.

There was one episode of Smackdown I believe that they did a heat beat down down angle four or five times?

Yes, I remember.

So they've done five heat angles on one show.
