[already home_17]

and the fact melo, iyo, and tiffany aren’t on the WM card but rusev is…

i don’t even have words bruh

 

[Chi-Town B]

The match already happened

For the title?

 

[Chi-Town B]

I do not remember that happening at all. So neither of them on the Mania card?

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

For the title?

It was supposed to be but I think they changed it to a non title match literally that nite. And Giulia won and both haven’t been seen since

 

[757'sFinest]

Iyo lost clean to Jade?!

Shit what's wrong with that? Lol that makes Jade look good

 

[Chi-Town B]

The champ should beat the sidekick, it would be an issue if Iyo beat Jade so close to Mania.

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

Jade beating IYO clean had niggas online saying “in no realistic universe would this ever happen”


…on a scripted show

Jade looked good in the ring tonight.

I say she goes over on Rhea at Mania. Then let her and Charlotte do something if Bianca still not cleared.

The Pat & Cody shit ran too long tonight. So did Drew & Jacob.

Introducing Pat into the Randy & Cody shit sucked all the air out of the match. We got a Pat McAfee heel turn before Cody or Sami. Speaking of Sami, watching him get booed out of the building was brutal.

Smackdown has been turned into a unwatchable abomination to me. The Jade vs Rhea build-up is a joke. We all know the actual match was supposed to be Jade/Bianca but Bianca's injury derailed it. Cody vs Randy would have probably had a decent story if they didn't add Pat/Jelly roll into the story. It doesn't help that the crowd has cheered for Orton every week when he's the heel.

Idk wtf HHH is doing with Smackdown but if 2026 turns out like 2025 dude has got to be demoted or fired. RAW has been a little more tolerable to watch on the RTWM 42 but some of those shows have been unwatchable.

Pat cooked Cody. lol sheesh

Please do. These mofos are angering me

 

[PhenomTheMac]

Its crazy seeing the visceral hate Pat and Cody's segment is getting online. That shit was by far the biggest reaction in the arena.

I cant call it. But it seems like people were never gonna boo Randy and now they are so...

 

[OGDirtyD]

Randy is a side character in his own Mania food. lol You cant make this up

One thing last night they did right. They should of been doing that more with Jade.

They’re booing Pat, not Randy.

Jade beating Iyo for me isn’t the issue. I guess it’s more the fact that Iyo’s been directionless since her and Rhea lost the tag belts. She’s been used to build up other people’s shit with nothing for her. Having Iyo as support for Rhea/Jade feels unnecessary. Iyo vs Jade could have been saved for a PLE.

The way it’s going both women who won their world title matches at Mania last year will not have matches this year.

I mean long as they aren't booing Cody.

Yeah but you'd think the title match at Mania is Cody vs Pat. As if it was PAT who called Randy to get advice on how to beat Cody.
