Hello and welcome to the Smackdown Review.

I'm Michael Sidgwick, joined by fellow dadly boy Michael Hamfield to discuss everything that went down on Friday's show.

But before we get into it, if you're a fan of this sort of thing, make sure to subscribe to What Culture Wrestling on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for daily wrestling podcasts,

where we preview and review Raw, Smackdown,

the show formerly known as NXT 2.0!

Dynamite collision, paper views, premium live events.

We have question and answer time.

We have wrestler interviews on occasion,

roundtable wrestling discussions,

and we host a roundup of the

week complete with a bloody good quiz of course on wrestle culture.

Sidge, I read it for a good time.

We briefed people last week, and we will continue to do so in the absence of Adam Wilborn.

This is very much the start of Wakey Sumer, the biggest wakey sumer ever, which is a bad thing rather than a good thing really, where there's going to be combinations of the two of us or sometimes even the one of us. How's that going to work? Or the none of us. How's that going to work? How's that going to work? It's probably now, between now and September. So just to sort of get this out the way, address

the elephant in the room.

Keep going. going to work. It's probably not, between now and September. So just to sort of get this out the way,

address the elephant in the room.

Keep going.

Typically, obviously, on this podcast, we like to be a little bit more analytical.

So I want to apologize if today me and Sid get a bit self-indulgent and have a bit of fun with it because

Sidges obviously playing the role of a special guest rather than a podcast regular.

So this one, I know what you guys tuning for, but this one might go a little bit off the rails.
