Hello, and welcome to their SmackDown preview.

I'm Adam Wilborn from WhatCulture joined by one of the dadly boys, Michael Hamflip 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 Wrestling on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music.

Where did he get your podcast from?

For daily wrestling podcasts, won't he not only review SmackDown, but also men that now.

The show formerly known is NXT2, but...

Oh, Adam E. Dynamite, AW Coalition, pay-per-views, premium live events, we have interviews, round table discussions, and a round-of-the-week complete.

A little bit of inquisity, of course, on WrestleCulture, as I said though, joined by Michael Hamflip to look ahead to tonight's SmackDown, and the Go Home show, ahead of money in the bank.

Indeed, I'm pretty excited about this, you know, and previously, I will say, previously, I used to listen to you doing your intro when we would be called and smack down stuff, preview and review stuff,

and then you'd go, AW Dynamite, AW Rampage, I'm like, oh, thank God, I do SmackDown every week, and now it's Collision, I have a little pang of jealousy, because it's definitely going to be some weeks where stuff's going to go on in Collision, well, at least one match, or one promo, it's going to go on in Collision, man, I mean, which I can talk about that.

But not this week, regardless of Collision, punk will do some of my class, but not this week, do I feel jealous, because this SmackDown feels like the exciting way to start an exciting weekend.

I am two points I want to make, three, number one, we're recording this in advance of Friday, so there might yet be stuff added.

Number two, maybe there won't be, because I covered your spot on the news with Andy Murray earlier this week, and we talked about WWE, of course, Vince Pref in the product.

By, and this is, this is wild, see what they come up with as a way of Vince Pref, booking, right, so like these match announcements, they are putting a place in as much time as possible in order to basically try and stop Vince canceling he likes, having things his way, but he hates actually canceling pre-avortized matches, and we remember the old Vince thing about if you have to cancel he got to make it better.

So that stands up, doesn't it, like that was his one thing that he still cared about about, like the industry that he made all of his money from, was like, well, you've promoted now, you've got to deliver it.

Yeah, it's a man of morals.

Right, even then, last week we previewed Bailey versus Shotty with a big stipulation on the line, Bailey did a bunch of local radio promoting that match, and indeed her role in this episode of SmackDown, did not even appear on the show in Manchester.

The stipulation was dead, because when we got to rot, she was just in the ring having the t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t, with all the women in the match.

So even when Vince briefed, it's not necessarily going to play out as we've thought.

And number three, when also covering your spot on the news, I was reminded that sometimes you say things on a video that get you in more trouble than things you might say on a podcast.

We have a very, I love our listenership, I love how dedicated they are, I love how engaged they are with us online, and it's always even in disagreement, it's always pleasant, it's always fun.

And it's just brilliant, I love it daily.
