Cody Tried End Randy Orton Tonight

What's good y'all? Ross back at again with another video. So, I just finished watching Friday Night Smackdown and overall I enjoyed the show. They are expanding some things heading into next week's show because we know that's going to be a pretty important show considering the WWE Championship is on the line between Kevin Owens and CM Punk. So, and it's going to be in Toronto if I'm not mistaken. So, that should be a pretty interesting show. looking forward to how things are going to progress heading into next week. But they did a good job I feel like on this show particularly and we saw some title changes tonight. So we're going to talk about some of the things I really did enjoy about Smackdown and we're going to start with Chelsea Green coming out there. So Nick Aldis was in the middle of the ring and he basically was saying um Chelsea you need to come out here. we need to have a conversation. And from that, you kind of had an idea where things was going. For those who don't know, Chelsea Green got injured last week on Smackdown, and she I think she has a broken orbital bone, and they weren't sure if she was going to have to relinquish a title or whatever the case may be. So, they set this segment up as if Chelsea is going to most likely have to relinquish the title. So, she comes out there And Nick all is like, "Look, man. I I don't really uh enjoy doing this type of stuff, but the medical doctors have informed me that it, you know, you may not be able to compete. And to be honest with you, I don't feel comfortable enough with you out here trying to compete. So, I may have to." And before he could say anything, she tells him, "Don't say it, Nick. Please don't say it." Like look, it I I I've worked so hard to get to this point and you know, I've been through so much uh in this business. I've done so many things. I've, you know, had broken bones. I've, you know, been hit in the face with pies and cake and been thrown in the trash cans. And she sent a few shots at Michael Hayes. She was basically saying, you know, there's people in the back that don't want me here and or don't think I'm deserve to be in the spot. Not verbatim, but she was alluding to who, you know, who we would all know is Michael Hayes. Like, you know, she I think she had said something to the extent of um I'm only here for some people, I'm only here to prop other people up. That's kind of what Michael Hayes has said. in and it was a heartfelt promo and the crowd was into it. Crowd was really pro Chelsea tonight as they have been for a while now and she basically like man like what would you do? Like you saw what you know how things played out for you at SummerSlam and how you were wrestling in front of your family and how it was something important. This is important to me. And as she takes off the belt, she's like, "Look, until somebody actually beats me, I'm still the WWE champion, WWE women's champion." So, she gives him the belt, she gets out of the ring, and Nick Alder said, "You know what? No, I'm not going to do you like that. You know what? if you can find, you know, some type of face gear or you can get some type of doctor to sign off or, you know, the treatment goes well within the next 30 days. If you can do that, then you can hold on to this title until someone beats you. So, they have decided to let Chelsea Green hold on to the WWE Women's Championship. Um, I'm guessing they probably will have her wear some type of face covering most likely, like a mask of some sort. So, or they'll probably wait for a little bit before she can actually um go in the ring. So, maybe give her a little bit more time to heal up, but they're not taking the title off of her. Great moment. Crowd really loved this. I thought this was a wholesome moment. And I like how they turned this into a storyline to kind of hook people in. thought is the are they going to have her drop the title, relinquish it, only for them to be like, "No, we're not." I thought that was actually nice. And then Gothther music hit. So Gunther comes out there and he's like, "Man, I don't know why you wasting your time on this. I need to have a conversation with you. I need to know why you added Kevin Owens to the match to my match." And you know, Chelsea like, you know, feeling disrespected and she uh Gunther starts disrespecting Chelsea like, "Man, you he basically called her a nobody. You you ain't nobody like I don't no one cares about you. You got injured after you just got the title last week. Shut up." So, he's talking to uh he goes back to talking to Nick Aldis and Nick Aldis like, "Well, it wasn't your match. You got added to Kevin Owens match. Me and Kevin Owens have been talking about this for months. I did you a solid and put you in the match and you still lost. Still couldn't get the job done. So don't say, "Oh, it was your match." No, that was Kevin Owens match. You just got added to it. So then Chelsea Green starts making fun of him. She was like, "Hey, you know what's crazy? I only see one world champion in here and it's not you." So after that, she he starts to, you know, kind of bow up to Chelsea and then Matt Cardona, obviously Chelsea's husband, comes out there and look, I love it. I love that Matt Cardona is going to stand up for his wife as he should, but let's keep it a thousand times, too. Uh, we knew Matt Cardona just came from catering, and we knew he was probably going to get packed up. So, they set up an impromptu match, which I enjoyed. They weren't in their wrestling gear. When we come back to commercial break, it is a 101 cuz he started talking. He was disrespecting Matt like what you going to do? What you you going you going to bow up to me as he made sure Chelsea got out the ring. That's when you know he started putting hands on Gunther and they set up the match. No ring gear. Everybody wrestling in their jeans and and regular comfortable shoes. Um and I thought that was a nice touch. I thought that was nice. They set it up as an impromptu fight, but ultimately GA gets the win. This was a nice close little uh like potential swerve moment where the ref is distracted with Chelsea Green and he ends up kicking uh Gunther into McNuggets. Ref didn't see it. You think he's going to get the win, but Gunther still kicks out. And once he kicked out, I knew it was over. He ends up putting uh putting um uh Matt Cardona in a submission hold. Matt taps instantly and it's over. It's over. So, hey Matt, we appreciate you sticking up for your wife, but go ahead and uh go back to catering. Your food got cold. Nevertheless, I did enjoy that segment. Next, we got to talk about um I think it was Cody and Nick Aud. They were talking backstage and basically he's like, "Look, hey, let's I I'm trying to set up a match. Well, let's get this paperwork signed up. Uh Cody's talking about setting up a match with Randy. Let's get this signed up so we can get this going." And he's like, "Well, I don't know where Ry's at, but Saturday nights or I think it's going to be Sunday night's main event is going to be in Atlanta, so we can set something up for that time in September." He's like, "All right, cool." Then you see Sammy and Sammy comes in there and like, "Look at this. You guys are always together. Seems like whenever Cody gets what he wants, Cody always gets what he wants and in no one bats an eye. If Cody wants a WWE uh championship match, all he has to do is say win. That's um he's alluding to what Cody and CM Punk had to say. I think that was last week when CM Punk was like, "Hey, whenever you want a title shot opportunity, just say win." So, what I liked about this, and I hope they continue this, Cody just is over it. He's like, "At one point, I used to have restraint when it came to you, Sammy, because of our friendship and history, but now I honestly don't give a damn. What you want to do about it? I'm sick of this talking stuff. How about tonight we can settle this right now, you know?" And he's like, "Look, I can't even go. You know, my hand is messed up, my wrist is messed up, but remember Cody, last time me and you went at each other, I beat you clean in that ring. Not many people can say that. I did that. And Cody's like, "Bro, I'm I'm over it. I don't really give a damn. Fine, do it tonight. Let's see if you can do that tonight." Cool. And Nick Aldis sweeten the deal. He's like, "Look, if you beat Cody tonight, then you get a number one contendership opportunity, whoever wins out of Kevin Owens and CM Punk next week." Now, of course, Cody is like, I mean, Sammy's like, "Man, but my wrist." Hey, what are you going to do? You was injured last time. I get we going now you get an opportunity to figure out what you going to do. So, they were going to set that up for the main event of tonight. Now, the next thing I want to talk about is I want to talk about the uh promo segment between Kevin Owens, CM Punk. Kevin Owens comes out there. CM Punk comes out there and CM Punk basically like, "Look, I basically came out here because I wanted to hear what you had to say to my face." And right before Kevin Owens was about to say, he does his usual, "Man, it does feel good to be in Boston." You know, he does that every city he goes to now. Kind of cut him off. CM Punk is an [ __ ] We know this to be very true. So, after that, Co uh Kevin Owens basically lets the fans know why they don't like each other. And this has been going on for a very long time. They give the backstory because I didn't know this. I had looked up some videos of why they don't like each other. I even seen the interview of Kevin Owens a long time ago talking about their history and their issues they had in RLH. And basically this is what Kevin Owens does here. He doesn't go into great detail, but the main focal point of why Kevin Owens doesn't like CM Punk. And one of the re main reasons is what happened over 20 years ago. Uh they were in the same promotion. Something was said and went to the locker room and basically CM Punk bered him. you know, called him a fat, lazy slob, you know, basically, you know, insulting him. And for Kevin Owens, that's just a a thing that's that stuck with him for a very long time. CM Punk is like, "Really? That's that's what it is? It's something that happened over 20 years ago. That's why you don't like me?" And then uh Kevin Owens was like, "No, it's more to that." I mean, there's other reasons. for example, how you treat, you know, some people that I care about, some of my friends that I truly care about, how you mistreated them and was, you know, and how you came at them. And this is when I knew he's alluding to, you know, some people from AEW. So CM Punk walks closer, you know, what friends you talking about? Who who what what friends that you may be, you know, conversing with? Say their names. You know, basically like who you talking about? Even though CM Punk knows who he's talking about and that's when Kevin Owens like it it's not just those three that you think I'm talking about. There's more of people more people that I'm you know been cool with in the business you know that are my friends I care about that you you know that don't like you as well. And I like that that was alluded to. Obviously, the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, they're cool with Kevin Owens and obviously their history in AEW with CM Punk. There's no love loss there. So, I like how they ti they put that in there. If you know, you know, type situation. So, I thought that was nice. Um then CM Punk uh kind of rebuttals back with the the sentiments of for someone you sit up here and say that I view you like this like some fat slob, right? Or maybe you view yourself like that, you know, like I I know who you are. I know how tough you are. I know what you've done, but it seems as if that's more of a personal issue with yourself. And then he starts breaking down what he doesn't like about uh Kevin Owens. He basically tells him, "Look, you're a tough guy. I just think you're a bum." He b he called him legit. I just think you're a bum. I think you you don't work to your full potential. Uh I think you're lazy. I don't think you really understand how far you could go, you know, and I that's one of the main reasons I don't really respect you. I don't really care for you. I just think you're a bum. And ultimately, this segment ends off with them even getting more, you know, heated and intense. I like the lines that they threw at each other like, um, you know, you never got a chance to really main event Wrestlemania with Stone Cold. You'll never get that opportunity. And CM Punk was like, you know, you know, maybe if you were more like me and had the work ethic like I did, you probably wouldn't have gotten speared by Goldberg. He's talking about how he got speared by Goldberg and lost the Universal Championship. And I love how KO is like, well, maybe if you was more like me, maybe you wouldn't have gotten speared by Roman Reigns and lost your title. I was like, ah, that's a nice little jab. They're throwing jabs back and forth at each other. And then towards the end, he basically, you know, he was saying, "20 years ago, I wanted to p I I regretted not punching you in the face when you talked to me like that when you was disrespecting me." And Son was like, "Hey, go ahead. I'm right here. There's space and opportunity. Go ahead and do it." He said, "Nah, I'm not going to do it." You know, because I knew if I would have did it then, you would have definitely made sure my career was done early. But if I can wait 20 years, I can definitely wait seven more days so that way I can finally take that title and beat your [ __ ] ass. Like I I love it. I'm I can't wait to beat your [ __ ] ass. So I'm cool either way. I can wait. And I love seeing Punk's rebuttal. Like that's cool. That's fine. I can't wait till we do fight each other cuz you going to be looking up after I beat your fat ass, bro. I enjoyed it. I like this. You know that you can tell these guys legit don't like each other. They're not fans of each other. So, they were able to go out there and talk trash to each other. Did it go on a little bit too long? I think they could have shaved off maybe five minutes of that. Could have gave the five minutes from this segment, maybe to the ending of the show. We'll talk about that. But nevertheless, I still enjoyed it and I'm excited to see how things are going to play out on uh on next week for um the WWE Undisputed Championship. I didn't even know this is their first time ever having a match because when Kevin Owens came into WWE, CM Punk was already gone. So, this is going to be their first ever match in WWE history. This is going to be interesting. I I really can't wait to see how this is going to play out. Next, we got to talk about um oh, I forgot to mention uh there was a moment um where Lash Legend and um and what's her name? I think it was Nia Jax. Yeah, there was a moment Lash Legend and Nia Jax came out there and Nia was basically saying, "Oh, well, you know, it's cool that you're going to be defending, you know, you're, you know, you're going to be able to hold on to your championship, but really doesn't matter cuz I'm going to take that from you anyways." So, as she comes out there, her Elash and Nia, that's when Tiffany comes out there, she tries to attack him. Obviously, um Chelsea can't really, you know, do anything cuz she's not medically cleared. So, they end up beating up uh Tiffany and Tiffany later on had a match for the Women's United States Championship. They, you know, kind of injured Tiffany in a sense and you can kind of tell how this was going to play out and that kind of goes into um the match later on in the show. So, we do get um JC Jane versus Tiffany Stratton for the Women's United States Championship. And I kind of figured the attack from Nia and uh Lash ultimately softened up um Tiffany in this match. But also, there's a point that they were making that Tiffany was out here trying to also protect um Chelsea Green and that ultimately cost her. She was trying to make sure Chelsea was good. That ultimately cost her both times tonight. And JC Jane is your new women's United States champion. After the match, they gave her pyro. She's standing out there uh with the rest of her her teammates. They all draped in gold, gave her the pyro, and I'm okay with that. The fact that they pushed them up, you know, they've been pushing this group um as soon as they got to the main roster. uh fatal fatal influence. The fact that they've been pushing them as well as they have, they all have gold now, it's going to be interesting to see what they end up doing, but it's it's dope to see. So, JC Jane is your new women's United States Champion. Um there was the triple threat tag team match. Honestly, really didn't too much care for this match. The crowd didn't either. It was kind of dead and quiet until our truth got the hot tag and was doing the John Cena moves. But ultimately the right team wanted the MFTts. They finally have Haku as their managers. And I as yeah as their managers. I figured if you're going to do that, there's a good chance they're probably going to win the tag title soon. And that's what happened. Your MF the MFTts are your new tag Smackdown tag team champions. It was okay. But I'm going to be honest with you, the tag team division even on Smackdown is just it's it's kind of just bland. It's not really much happening. Uh even though they have teams, they just haven't really put too much emphasis on for you to care about them. So that's why I said this match was pretty dead even from the crowd's like reaction until like the last few minutes. But the MFTts are your new Smackdown tag team champions. And last but not least, got to talk about the main event segment. Uh, it was supposed to be a match between Cody and Sami Zayn, but Randy Orton came from behind and attacked him before the match even happened. They started fighting off through the crowd. They finally get back to the announceers area and that's where um before they start off into the crowd, Randy Orton placed the steel steps on the announcers area kind of like he did right before Wrestlemania. So, they're fighting. Officials get out there and finally, as it looks like Ry's about to to pack up Cody the same way he did before Wrestlemania, Cody said, "Nah, that's not happening to me, brother." And kicks him square in the jewels. Then he hits Randy Orton with the steel chair. Now Randy Orton's laying in that position. And Cody's thinking about it. He's thinking about it. And then Cody says, "Fuck and he raises the chair. He's about to kill Randy. He's about to kill the legend killer. He about to back him up. But of course, because he's the good guy, all of a sudden, the officials decide to get the chair out of his hand. But they didn't do it when Randy literally killed him months ago. Nobody went up there and stopped Randy from bringing that chair down onto Cody's skull between those steel steps. But this time they said, "Nah, we we we're not going to we're not going to let this happen again." So they stopped Cody. And then after that, Cody's trying to get at him. He's Cody's snapped. He's not trying to let Randy go. He's trying to end him, which I'm all for. And then he gets back on top of the table and I guess it looks like he's about to put him in the crossroads position. Or maybe he does hit him with the crossroads position. I don't know because the show went to black because they had to go to the next show. The show cut off. So, I'm probably gonna have to check out on social media what happened after that, which I'm sure they'll have the footage. But, it was just frustrating because they ran out of time and USA ain't doing no overruns cuz they have other shows they have to get to. So, um it would have been nice if maybe they shaved something else off. Maybe they could have shaved a few minutes off that promo to give them at least a little bit of extra time to see what was going to happen at the end. But that was the real complaint there cuz we don't know what happened unless you know they they I'm sure they're going to show us on social media. That's usually what they do if they run out of time. They'll just show it on show social media. But overall, I enjoyed that. I like that. I like the fact that Cody is on timing. He He legit seems like, you know what? I don't have to I don't have to be a cookie cutter good guy. No, I'm sick of this with you. I'm going to end you if I have to. And the this is the feud I want I want from Cody. You don't need the title. Just have these guys want to destroy each other cuz they have history. I'm okay with it. You did the same thing with Kevin Owens and Cody when they were feuding here. Here, I'm all for it. Have them want to destroy each other. build that up. It's okay for Cody to just snap because it's refreshing to see and I love to see it, man. And I want to see more of it. That's what I want to see. I want to see Cody start to really tread that line of good and bad guy or just a guy that's doing what he feels like is right. Even if that means splattering someone's brain with a steel chair. I approve. But hey, comment down below and let me know what did you what did you guys think of this episode of Smackdown. Did you guys enjoy it? Are you guys excited about Kevin Owens, CM Punk for the WWE Unspeed Championship next week? Cuz I know I am. But let me know how you guys feel about the show overall. Appreciate all love, support. Road to 200K. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See you on next one. Peace.
