Gooden to talk and welcome to the Smackdown preview. I'm Adam Wilford from Whatcourtier. John Michael, Darley, Willemann from What, Coach. It's look at tonight's episode of Friday Night's 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 Podcast, Spotify, Amazon, Music, and YouTube.

We have interviews, roundtable discussions, and a round-up of the week complete with a lot of good quiz, of course, on wrestling culture. I said, though, Join by Michael Hamlet to look ahead to tonight.

Massive.

We said a few weeks ago when it was obvious that Cody and Drew wasn't going to make it to the rumble.

Thank God.

Yeah.

That there was a TV special or maybe something that,

and we thought, idiotically, naively, I guess.

It would be the first three-hour smackdown,

but I guess this is the crown jewel of WWE's disappointing title match week.

You know, I'm saying disappointing.

Lots of people like punk and brawn. Yeah, I wasn't sure. Lots of people like punk and brawn. I wasn't sure. Lots of people liked... NXT was class. Oberfemmy and Leon Slater. I agreed. But no title changes yet. No big... Well, some big sweeping changes in terms of NXT call-ups and the like. Women's tag titles aside, yeah. Yeah, actually, that's, you know what, fair enough.

And that was the first match they booked of the week as well.

But it did feel like with the three main... And Izzy Day. Three main... I've lost, but I've won the North American titles. It's not a bad night, really. I think you've just named and explained something that half of the people watching or listen to this, won't even know what you talked about. complete strangers to them.

But, you know how you can... It's a fresh start for our next week.

Join us.

Well, this is it.

That's how you can...

It's a fresh start for NXT next week.

Join us.

Well, this is it. That's how they can fix it. They can, every Tuesday and Wednesday, the NXT preview and review, not dissimilar in tone, I would say, to the Smackdown coverage, which again confuses me why Sidg wouldn't want to be a part of this. Shout out, by the way, this is the opportune time to do it, I learned.
