Very fun episode. Bloodline segments were great. But roman still hasn't apologized😅 Women's midcsrd title makes sense in theory but will need raw and smackdown to go up to 3 hours for all these titles to get some exposure. We didn't even get LA knight this episode
The 3 hours will be necessary in order for a midcard title to work. They need to establish those things much better than when they introduced the women’s tag belts
I was there last night and it was amazing!!!! They actually had a dark match after Smackdown and Cody was part of a tag team. The pyro scared me so much throughout the night 😂 I'm telling you Sami is going to turn on OG Bloodline at WarGames. Great review of Smackdown!!!!!!
Excellent Smackdown. Maybe the best in years for overall Storytelling and building. Would be happy if Chelsea won the US title, but would not mind a finals of Tiffany v Candice with Candice winning due to Nia "accidentally" screwing over Tiffany building to her cash in.
Appreciate the kind words as always! It was interesting. I think there’s some rushing or some holes tbh. But I think we will get those answers here soon
Everyone spoke about how world class this new world champions in tag team are , they haven’t got the crowd going , have they joined the company to late and are too old or just haven’t got over yet ? I generally can’t wait for Lucha brothers to join from are there incredible tag team and meant to be going really soon, also end of the show tonight solo said 5vs 5 war series hunt so be interesting who gonna be joining both side to make that happen and I’m sure Paul heyman close to joining to glue the bloodline together and bring someone for the otc for survivor series ,
I say they just need time. MCMG are the top of the top in tag wrestling, but the WWE crowd is mostly WWE people that haven’t branched out to watch the other stuff which is totally fine. Just get them screen time every week and let the crowd get to know them and they should be just fine
Unsure, but I have seen online that the Womens US Championship is/might be on both brands...Liv *of course because everything needs to be hers* 🤭 and others posted about the title that it would be theirs. Both brands do need it due to the Nia/Liv Storyline pocket they are in. We'll see, it will be interesting and finally more women will get time. With NXT on fire, The main rosters women are behind that momentum in my opinion, even if aside from Bloodline/Cody those womens storylines are what the shows are revolved around. Reminds me of early 2005-12 days which is good and bad. We need actual wrestling, even if I love the long time storytelling -as it feels like there is none, even when there are 3-5 segments and a match/2 with women every show. Also it started to feel like the womens devision was going back a bit, especially with Chelsea and Tiffany joking about bringing back the divas title. Love where they are going, but also dont...kinda like how I dont get why they keep wanting/putting the title picture on Rhea, when she only wrestles/defends 3-8 matches a year, all PPV, compared, Liv has already defended more times in less than 6 months than Rhea and Roman combined. Thats what I hate about the Roman/Brock/Rhea reigns, they never wrestle, at least Cody/Gunther and Liv/Nia wrestle onscreen and house shows on a weekly basis, just observation!
It’s wonderful that they’re finally giving them a midcard title BUT, at the same time, I really don’t think they have the TIME to do it until both shows go three hours in a couple months. Still very excited to see where they go with it through
@@codwrestlepod Yeah, also something I raised an eyebrow at, I would have thought they would have waited into 2025 to introduce that as there isnt time. We still have to see the mismatch branding they are trying to do with Bianca/Jade/Liv/Raquel *obvious pivot due to Rheas injury* that still makes sense + the assortment of tag teams they are making/trying with them and the few week storylines tried that just disappear. Raws storylines make sense...Nias with Naomi/Tiffany/Candice/Mia is just deluting more and more. Regardless, Id be fine with a few less segments and more wrestling, with Rhea out of action, that opens the door for more on Raw at least with Liv/Raquel and the others single and tag. We will just have to see as the writers are probably scrambling and botches/misfires during or at the end of matches have been a constant it seems the last few months at least. Also do not understand the refs seemingly forgetting their jobs with counts and are actually showing favoritism during matches, like the crapshoot that was the Bad Blood botch and bafoonery with Liv/Rhea and the ref ruining Raquels return, if they are going to do the ref cam, they have to make it make sense and not let us hear/see the tells. Doms botch of falling out which apparently wasnt supposed to happen as the cage was supposed to be locked was not actually planned and Raquel was supposed to hit rhea in the ring while the ref checked on Liv on the floor after the riptide is an example...the stories and wrestlers are just having bad luck it seems.
The First Part of the Bloodline Stuff: POP It!!! Roman clearly thinks that he still runs everything & still tells the Usos what to do: he got to stop that cause if he keeps it up: Jey’s gone…..Sami’s gone & Jimmy’s gone cause he wants Jey involved!!! Candice vs Bayley: Drop!!! The finish was just ughhh like even when you try & fake an injury & you still lose like that’s just crazy!! I’m just like “Really” Kevin Owens & Randy Orton: POP it!!! I couldn’t believe KO hit the Piledriver on Orton!!! It’s been confirmed that Randy needs to have surgery on his neck & he will be missing severe time!!! So we won’t be seeing the Viper on TV for quite sometime!!! Build up the KO & Cody fued!!! Pretty Deadly vs DIY: Drop!! The match was quick. Looked like Ciampa just wanted to get the match over with so they can move on!! Nia Jax/Tiffany vs Bianca/Jade: POP IT!! The match was very good!!! Candice getting involved clearly wants to replace Tiffany as Nia’s new sidekick!!! Candice distracts Bianca, Nia takes out Naomi but Tiffany takes the K.O.D!!! Clearly Tiffany not going to like this!! At this point I’m just waiting for a cash-in!!! It’s going to be INSANE!!! FINALLY…FINALLY….we get a new Women’s Championship in the Women’s Division!!!! Thank You Nick Aldis it’s about time we get some more gold in the Women’s Division!!!Hopefully we get a IC Women’s Belt on RAW!!! Come on Pearce!!!!! Make it happen!!! POP IT!!!! Solo & Roman segment: POP IT!!! The OG Bloodline vs Solo’s Bloodline clearly is going to be at WarGames!!! I can’t wait for it!!! I’m excited for it!!! But now let’s see how we get to the match at Survivor Series!!!!!
Also i gotta say the commercials in this show in particular were weird. Like theyd come back from commercial. Then 3 my minutes later its picture in picture. And that happened like 3 tiems in 2 hours. And i gotta say when its picture in picture. I tune out, and dont pay attention.
If they do a 5v5 who would be the last members? Or do you want think its 4v4. Also with the addition of the womens us title. Will there be a women's intercontinental championship. Or is it a brand split title?

Thank you! Thats awesome! I’m with ya, Sami still turning!

We mentioned that off camera as well! Great pick! Our love for Chelsea green is just through the roof so we had to say it lol
Always dropping fire brothers
Todays bloodline was interesting

Your pops/drops make our day every time. LOVE IT
Tomasso definitely should've beat down A town down under. Idky they did that to Pretty Deadly.
Pretty deadly got WHOOPED haha

It’s really hard to pay attention to Picture in Picture for me. I’d rather just a full screen commercial
If they do a 5v5 who would be the last members? Or do you want think its 4v4. Also with the addition of the womens us title. Will there be a women's intercontinental championship. Or is it a brand split title?
There has to be a IC women’s title on raw imo. Probably Lyra tbh. I think they probably just do a 4 vs 4 for now!
Chelsea or Michin Us tiitle
I think sami will ACTUALLY turn at war games
Those survivor series predictions will be coming soon! Great picks with either Michin or Chelsea!
Bayley did not that win I actually hope candice can win the mid card title
Candice would be a solid choice! Would also feed into her story with Nia/Tiff
@ yeah
