Hello and welcome to their Smackdown preview. I'm Adam Wilburn from WhatCulture joined by one

of the dadly boys, Michael Sidjwick from WhatCulture to look ahead to tonight's episode of Friday Night

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

to WhatCulture on either iTunes, Spotify, or if you get your podcast from for daily

wrestling podcasts. Well, we're not only review raw and Smackdown, but also NXT, AW, Dynamite,

pay-per-views, we have interviews, round table discussions, and I'm going round up for the week

complete. With AW, of course, on WrestleCulture. As I said, though, joined by Michael Sidjwick

to look ahead to Smackdown tonight, they go home, show ahead of money in the bank, and best of all

Michael Sidjwick fans are back. You know, I'm very consistent and unbiased. Therefore, I won't

have to do the same thing that I do ahead of every single AW preview and review, and that is say,

I'm still terrified by the prospect of all of these fans coming back with the Delta variant

surging and rates and transmissibility and all this stuff skyrocketing. But hey,

it's nothing I can do about it, but watch these shows and on an objective level,

even WWE shows are going to be significantly better with fans and attendants. And this is

legitimately the first episode of Smackdown I've really highly anticipated, not with any kind of

hope of some fundamental creative change or any like blow away or some out of this world quality,

but just because of a sense of momentousness. They're probably not going to break the wheel.

They're probably going to bring one or two faces back and they'll get a popping.
