Smackllision Weekend Round Up

Intro

As last week has become a distant memory, some atributes of a nasty bygone era, have creeped back into existance, when, Skye Blue, and. Lauren Ellering, were subjected to awful sexist abuse, at the hands of a fan at ringside. I hate having to talk about issues like this. Were in 2024, and some men still think it's ok to act with priviledge. Aubrey Edwards did a great job, and all three ladies were praised backstage, by. Aew officials, for how they handled the situation. This type of behavior isn't welcome in this industry, the days of, fans, and promoters, using this business, to promote mysoginistic views are over, yes attitudes have changed, but, like I always say. In order to be human, we have to act human, it's really not that difficult.

Nick Aldis segment

Our Smackdown GM Nick Aldis, wasted no time in bringing out, our. WWE Universal Champion. Cody Rhodes. Cody basked in fans adjulation, but that soon  changed, when. Aldis told him, who his next challenger will be, and out came. Logan Paul. Both men had a great face to face, which led to an awesome promo dual. From pure arrogance, to utter believibility, their verbal back and forth was great. Logan put over all of his achievements. Best Rookie year in WWE history, and of course how he got there. Cody thought back, by referencing his achievements, regaurding his boxing career, his social media out put, and of course, his career as a drinks salesmen. Cody called him a dumbass, whilst questioning his own fortitude. The direction that's on display here I like, belt vs belt, sign me up. One other thing people. Don't drink Prime, It tastes like a beaten down soul.

Aj Styles Kayla Braxton segment

Kayla Braxton Interviewed. AJ Styles, he said that he wants to get back to facing. Cody for the belt, and winning the King Of The Ring Tournament, and beating Randy Orton, would be a good step. Randy counteracted this perfectly later on. Am I the only person, who thinks that AJ is acting like a big cry baby, Wah wah wah. I lost to Cody woe is me.

Queen Of The Ring Tournament Round ! Naomi vs Nia Jax

I liked all of this, the in ring work was solid, and fast paced, it was a gift, that reminded of a funny time, from back in the pandemic. Naomi got the win, and advances to the next round.

Baron Corbin Segment and King Of The Ring 1st Round vs Carmelo Hayes

Baron Corbin was backstage being interviewed by. Kayla Braxton, when. Carmelo Hayes came into shot. He looked like he was having fun, at the former lone wolfs expense. Carmelo, would go on to beat Baron, to advance to the Quarter Finals of the tournament.

Bayley segment and Piper Niven vs Jade Cargill

Bayley was being Interviewed by. Kayla Braxton, she was asked, who she  would she like to face? But in stepped. Chelsea Green, and. Piper Niven. Chelsea took time to wind up Bayley, ahead of Pipers match against. Jade Cargill. Cargill would go on to beat Niven, in their Queen Of The Ring 1st Round match. Some people should stay quiet.

Bianca Belair vs Candace Lerae Queen Of The Ring Tournament 1st Round

This. Was. Over way to soon, and was way to predictable. Bianca got the win, and advances to the Quarter Finals. Yeah. I don't know what else to say.

The Bloodline segment

The Bloodline just got scarier. I loved all of this. The aspect of what is to come when Roman returns, to try and reclaim his throne. Solo turned into Jax Teller, nothing is ok here. From Pauls lies, to Solo, giving faulse him hope. All of this was great, and a solid glimpse into where, WWE are going with this story.

1st Round Of The King Of The Ring Angelo Dawkins vs Tama Tonga

Even though. The match was two short, and predictable, it was enjoyable. From Montez Ford athletisism, and then getting taken out, which led to Dawkins taking the loss, to the awesome presentation of Tama Tonga. This is how you reinvent a stable, and just like that. The Bloodline just got scarier, and it's going to be great viewing.

Aj Styles vs Randy Orton 1st Round King Of The Ring Tournament

This. Was. A well worked main event, with solid in ring work, but what would you expect, when it's worked by these seasoned veterans, they showcased their great chemistry, and physicality, the near falls were well timed, and the final exchanges, gave Randy room to hit AJ with an RKO from out of nowhere, for the win. The Tournament continues on Monday night.

Aew Collision

Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli vs Top Flight

I liked this. It felt like a perfect match of veterans helping younger talent, and younger talent learning, and loving every second of it. The match was a physical battle, that was enjoyable, from beginning to end. Danielson got the win for his team, and then proceeded to cut a promo, that was an electric bolt to my system, he praised his opponents, the fans, and.Tony Khan, whilst laying the truth about The Young Bucks, because he loves this business, and most importantly, he loves Aew. This was great.

Will Osperay vs Lee Moriarty

Even though, this wasn't the strongest will Osperay match, that I have ever seen. It's still awesome. It's a bit like your favourite band releasing a new album, that's still good, but it's not as good, as the rest of their back catalogue. This match was like comparing Metallica's 72 Seasons, to. Master Of Puppets. The match had a nice eb, and flow to it. Roderick Strong on commentary had me laughing, the physicality that was on display was great, and Will picked up the win. Shane Taylor put a beating on Will in the aftermath. As you can tell i'm a big Metallica fan.

C.E.O Segment

Mercedes Mone was seen, throwing out the first pitch in the world series, for the Boston Red Sox. Look I'm British so I don't get baseball.

Gates Of Agony and brian cage vs Evan Rivers and The Voros Twins

Gates Of Agony, and. Brian Cage, beat. Evan Rivers, and. The Voros Twins in a squash match. Cage then cut a promo on Swerve, calling him, and Nana selfish, claiming all they did was take take take, he then praised his higher power. The Elite. Swerve then came out, he went all out chain crazy, he attacked his former faction friends. Toa Leona, took the brunt of it, when Swerve resorted to one of his old tricks, using a cynder block, to take him out. Swerve cut a promo on Cage challenging him to a match, this week on Dynamite, this Wednesday. I liked all of this. Swerve's visceral anger could be felt through my chromecast. I think it's safe to say, that vengence makes this man happy, and not Skittles. Skittles people Skittles. Their the route of all happiness.

Daniel Garcia vs Km

Daniel Garcia, beat. Km, in another squash match. I know what you're thinking. Just what type of name is Km. You know what, forget about his name, because his dance moves are f****** awful. I mean what was this.

Dax Harwood vs Dynamite Kid Tommy Billington

I've seen online, that this match has been met with a lot positivity, i'm not sure that I feel the same way, to me this match failed to get started. The one thing I hope is that Tommy doesn't have the same traits as his uncle. A man who's not the picture of chasidy and virtue, but i'm not the type of person who thinks ,that you should cast the sins of the uncle, onto the nephew. Dax got the win, look I get why some people liked this. I just feel this resembled a car, that failed to get into first gear.

The Elite Backstage footage

The Cameras caught up with The Elite, after Dynamite went off the air last week. Jack Perry put over his disatisfaction with the company. Okada called out Dax Harwood, and. The Young Bucks, bit off more than what they can chew, when they started on Christopher Daniels. The Fallen Angel, and. Matt Sydal, will face them on Dynamite this wednesday, and. Dax Harwood will face Kazuchika Okada. Dynamite sounds alright for this week doesn't it.

Thunder Rosa vs Robyn Renegade

Thunder Rosa, beat. Robyn Renegade, in a standard tv match. This. Was decent.

Cope Ope TNT Championship Adam Copeland vs Kyle O'reilly

I loved this match. The fans were electric from the start, and throughout, when two of Canada's finest went to war. The Physicality allowed for the story of, can Kyle win the big one shine through. Both men gave everything. Copeland retained his belt with a sphere. And one other thing. Nigel Mcguiness on commentary, was simply chef's kiss.

Overview Of The Weekend

I know that when I say this, i'm going to be one in a majority. Both shows were steady middle of the road shows, good, but with shimmers of excellence.

Both of this weekends shows are 8/10
