Hello, and welcome to their SmackDown preview. I'm Adam Wilborn from WhatCulture joined by one of Daddy Boy's 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 or thing, make sure you subscribe to WhatCulture Wrestling on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music.

Where have you get your podcasts from? For daily wrestling podcasts, where we're not on a review SmackDown, but also, man, that'll show formerly known as NXT, but...

Oh!

Wait, are we done in my AWS collision, pay-be-views, premium live events? We have interviews, round table discussions, and a round of the week complete.

Well, there's a bunch of inquiries, of course, on wrestling.

Of course, as I said, though, joined by Michael Sidjwick, look ahead to SmackDown tonight.

Some Islamists just around the corner, they established on last week's rules of engagement that we are now having tribal combat.

No word is to what that means for tonight's episode. It's basically just like, we're on the way to Summer Slam, we're on the road to tribal combat, which I sense means, possibly more interactions between J. Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa, and a severe lack of Roman Reigns on this show.

Yeah. Like, let's infer what tribal combat is. They basically suggested that it's a match with honor.

A match with honor, which I inferred because obviously Solo Sikoa tried to do the Simone spike to J. They say, okay, contract signing right now, we need to beat you up on week and you ahead of the match and you're all like, no, don't you do that.

Don't you do that. This is different. Tribal combat is different.

So I think tribal combat is a thinly veiled excuse to have Jimmy you so interfere in plain sight and then set up a match with Jay because he was didn't go he was too busy.

Aspiring for the title and not going to visit him in the local medical facility. Yes.

So I think it's I'm inferring that it's an honorable fight is opposed to the ref bump melodrama cheating.

So that you don't expect Solo to come in because Romans like, no, this has to be done as tribal combat, the elders, the talk about the elders. Yes.

So the elders were about this was their idea. So I assume it's something like a tradition in the dynasty. That's never actually been done and wrestling, but regardless, we'll just go with it. It's wrestling. It can make itself up as a go along.

Cinema doesn't do that. Follows the script. So I'm assuming that's what it is. Now I expect this to be advanced, obviously.

Maybe Jay also will just tell us this like because they do like to, you know, clarify these things with exposition and the like.

And he can say the solo like this is a tradition that's run through the dynasty for years, you know, there's never been a match like this.

And then he can say something like Yukon interfere goes against what the elders have laid down for this type of match, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

And then Paul Heyman can mock self fear when Jay goes without you meddling without him meddling solo. Yeah.
