Smackdown Review – 03.20.26

By Niz on 21 March 2026

Smackdown comes to the USA Network/Netflix airwaves live and in living color from the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, NC. The announcing team for tonight’s broadcast includes Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett handling match calls and analysis, Mark Nash doing ring introductions, and Cathy Kelley on backstage interviews and breaking news. Let’s watch some wrestling.

Then, Now, Forever….TOGETHER

Highlights of Randy Orton’s heel turn open the show. When you push both Jelly Roll AND Nick Aldis down, you mean fuckin’ business, man. Tessitore and Barrett display appropriate grief over the whole thing and mention that we’ll hear from Orton later. We have some arrivals: Nia Jax and Lash Legend, the Bellas, the MFT’s, R-Truth and Damian Priest, Kit Wilson, and Jelly Roll. As Jelly Roll exits his truck, a phalanx of refs and officials charge past him and out into the parking lot where Drew McIntyre is pulling Jacob Fatu‘s smashed windshield off of his rental car (Hope you got the insurance, Jacob!) and beating the crap out of Fatu. McIntyre smashes Fatu’s head into the hood of the car and leaves him bloody. Tessitore is forced to show even more grief, and Barrett wants some goddamn order around here. Bro, same.

Here’s Drew McIntyre marching to the ring with a microphone to vent his frustrations and mentioning that he came here to fight. Here’s Smackdown GM Nick Aldis calling McIntyre a maniac and saying that the only place McIntyre is on his way to is the unemployment line. After more yelling, here’s a bloody Jacob Fatu charging down the aisle to wallop McIntyre and send him into the ring steps head-first. Fatu fires McIntyre over the announce table, and then cleans off the top of it. Fatu says some bad words that get bleeped as security tries to pull him away, but of course he breaks free and splashes a prone McIntyre through the announce table. McIntyre is bleeding from the mouth, and it’s time for commercials.

WWE Men’s Undisputed Tag Team Championship: The MFT’s (Tama Tonga and JC Mateo) vs Damian Priest and R-Truth

The entirety of the MFT’s accompany Tonga and Mateo, and Solo Sikoa has brought THE LANTERN with him. Also, I think the titles were won by Sikoa and Tonga but we’re doing Freebird Rules here because who really gives a crap about the Smackdown tag titles, right? After thirty seconds of chaos, we go to commercials.

Priest is fighting his way out of the MFT’s corner when the show returns, but Mateo cuts off the rally with a shoulder tackle and some clubbering blows. Mateo covers and gets two. Mateo splashes Priest in a corner and then wallops Truth off the apron. Priest fires up with a roundhouse kick and then tags a recovered Truth. Tonga gets a tagged and gets immediately destroyed by Truth. Truth hits the Five Knuckle Shuffle but Tonga slips out of an AA attempt and tags in Mateo. Tonga dropkicks Truth into Mateo’s Tour of the Islands but Priest breaks up the cover at two. Tonga sends Priest to the floor and eats a stunner from Truth. Priest crushes Tonga with a dive off the steps, and Truth slaps on an STF on a shocked Mateo. Sikoa distracts the ref and Talla Tonga yanks Truth out so he can chokeslam him on the apron. Tonga pushes Truth back in and somehow he kicks out of Mateo’s cover at two. Here’s The Wyatt Sicks in the aisle to start fighting with the MFT’s, while Uncle Howdy assaults Sikoa with a mandible claw. Mateo disposes of Howdy but runs into a Truth thrust kick. Priest takes care of Tonga, and Truth drops Mateo with an Attitude Adjustment. Truth covers Mateo and gets three.

So this was Truth and Priest’s first ever team vs team tag match and of course they win the titles because the Smackdown tag titles couldn’t be more useless. I swear, for a show that actually pretends to have a tag division, it’s incredible how stupidly these teams are treated and booked. Now, of course the crowd ate every second of this up and Truth will be forever over, so that has to be built into the match rating. The Wyatts-MFT’s thing has been going on since October and we’re now three weeks into March with no end in sight which is just NEAT. 1.5*

Winners AND NEW WWE Men’s Undisputed Tag Team Champions – R-Truth and Damian Priest (Truth AA on Mateo)

Here’s Cathy Kelley with the Bellas and Brie says that anyone that underestimates them is making a mistake. Nikki says they paved the way, and here’s Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss to call them selfish for skipping the line. Flair and Bliss say they won’t bother with interrupting the title match, but of course Nikki invites them to come out and see how REAL LEGENDS get the job done. The Bellas then steal Bliss’s ice cream spoon and leave.

Here’s Candice LeRae with Sad John Wrestling and she’s tried nothing and is all out of ideas to help out Sad John. Here’s Danhausen to ask LeRae for twenty human dollars in exchange for helping (?), and then he disappears once LeRae comes up with it. The Motor City Machine Guns wander by and Chris Sabin insists that Alex Shelley not bother with Sad John and a baffled LeRae. We go to commercials.

The Youtube reactions to Orton’s heel turn are up next after commercials. Here’s Sami Zayn with Cathy Kelley and his focus is on his match with Aleister Black, but he’s also thinking about Cody Rhodes. Zayn says that Rhodes tries to be a good person but it ended last week for him in a pool of his own blood. Zayn then contrasts that with Orton who he looks up to, and how the show ended with him holding the title in his hands. Here’s Trick Williams to remind Zayn that he beat Jacob Fatu last week and when life gives you lemons, you put on your pepper steppers and keep your mouth shut while grown folks are talking. Zayn wants to fight right now but Trick begs off while mentioning he’ll watch Zayn’s match on his “Palm Pilot” and if he likes what he sees, he’ll consider dealing with the winner. Zayn tells him to get a real good look and leaves.

FrAxiom vs The Motor City Machine Guns

It’s Frazer and Shelley to start and Frazer runs fifty miles an hour for ten seconds to land a crappy looking dropkick. Axiom and Sabin tag in and the Guns double truck Axiom and Sabin grabs a two count. Shelley tags back in and Axiom fights him and Sabin off before tagging Frazer back in. Axiom and Frazer hit double team superkicks and send both Guns to the floor. We go to commercials.

Shelley eats an Axiom armdrag, and then Axiom smashes Sabin to the apron. Frazer tags in and whiffs on a tope con hilo, but the Guns sell it anyway. Frazer ascends and smashes Sabin with a splash that gets two. Shelley charges in and eats another superkick as Axiom tags in. Sabin gets double teamed by FrAxiom and it ends with a Frazer vertical suplex-Axiom low kick combo that gets two. Axiom mounts Sabin in their corner but Sabin slugs him down and then dumps Frazer. Sabin hits a double cross body and tags in Shelley. Shelley and Sabin hit a Magic Killer on Frazer and get a two count. Candice LeRae has wandered out to watch and Shelley tags in Sabin. Axiom and Frazer fire up and hit a bunch of tope suicidas on Sabin and Shelley. Shelley yanks Axiom off the top rope as Sabin gets rolled up for two by Frazer. Sabin kicks Frazer off and LeRae slugs Frazer along the ropes. Sabin rolls up Frazer and gets three. Shelley seems to have noticed what happened while Sabin appears to not have noticed at all.

Considering the pace of The Trials of Johnny Gargano has so far been “glacial” this was positively epic forward movement. I kid, I kid, none of this matters. I guess the Guns are getting something resembling a story which is okay with me, and if Nathan Frazer eats pins, I’m pretty okay with that too. Tune into Smackdown for the next six months as this tale lurches on until like…The Street Profits come back and it’s quietly dropped. 2.25*

Winners – The Motor City Machine Guns (Sabin roll up on Frazer after LeRae interference)

Tessitore and Barrett go over the McIntyre-Fatu confrontation that started the show. As they’re showing the devastation in the parking lot, Randall Keith Orton walks by to survey things before continuing into the building. We go to commercials.

Highlights are shown of the verbal battle between CM Punk and Roman Reigns from this week’s Raw – go read Kat’s review for further details. Apparently the M in CM stands for “Methuselah”!

Here’s Randy Orton out to “Voices”. Orton gets a solid pop and the RKO Everybody shirt he’s wearing has blood on the lettering, so has he not changed clothes for a week? Gross. I bet he smells. Orton stares at the Wrestlemania sign while he takes forever to get into the ring. Orton wanders over to timekeeping and grabs a chair with a dent in it, and I swear last week’s show was in Phoenix so why you’d bring a dented chair halfway across the country I have no idea. Orton gets a “Randy, Randy” and then an “RKO” chant as he seats himself in the chair. Orton says that the fans have been singing along to his entrance music for years now and he appreciates the love. Orton also appreciates the longevity he’s had in the business and says the fans love puts a smile on his face. Orton says the smile is the emptiest feeling and the reality is that nothing lasts forever. Orton doesn’t want his legacy to be his interactions with the fans, he wants it to be how many championships he’s put around his waist. Orton mentions winning the Elimination Chamber and having his focus be fully on being the Viper to face Drew McIntyre, but then Cody Rhodes intervened and won the title. Rhodes told Orton to be the Viper and listen to the voices last week, so when Orton did that he went out of control. Orton says he needs that chaos to add number 15 to his legacy, and he’ll do it with the three most dangerous letters in SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT. Orton recites the lyrics to “Voices” and says he’s going to beat Cody Rhodes. The pops keep getting louder and louder as Orton keeps saying he’s going to win the title.

Again, I don’t think this is going how they hoped because Orton’s face pops keep right on going. No one wants to boo him anymore. I do like that this program is fully focused on the actual title unlike Reigns-Punk which is just shit-talking and insults and MY FAMILY and a bunch of nonsense.

PANDA EXPRESS sponsors a look at the Bella twins reuniting to go after the women’s tag titles. Aleister Black and Zelina make their entrance as we go to commercials.

Randy Orton is backstage and gets blown off by Dragon Lee and Los Garza. Orton wanders past Apollo Crews and Matt Cardona but Cardona apparently wants a word. Orton says if Cardona has something to say just spit it out. Cardona wants to know what the hell was up with the attack on Cody last week, and Orton blows up at him. Orton calls Cardona a “mark-ass stooge” and an “indie nerd” before smashing Cardona down and telling Cardona to stay out of his business. Words hurt, Randy.

Aleister Black vs Sami Zayn

Zelina is with Black as usual. The lights go out and here’s Trick Williams out to “Locked In” and a “Whoop that, Trick” chant. Trick sits down at the desk to watch the match as Black attacks at the bell. Black hits a bunch of kicks and punches to drive Zayn into a corner. Zayn fires up with some chops and then drops ten right hands on Black’s head. Zayn stomps on Black’s head and we go to commercials.

Black has a cover that gets two when the show returns. Black hits some chest kicks and forearms but Zayn finally fires up with some right hands. Zayn eats a back elbow when he charges and then Black wallops Zayn with a knee lift. Black puts on a knee bar and Zayn half-rises to get a two count out of it. Black continues the assault in the corner and then ducks a Helluva Kick attempt when Zayn charges. Black hits a Meteora and covers Zayn for two. Black fires off some rights but Zayn springs up and sends Black to the floor with a clothesline. Zayn rams Black into the barricade a couple of times before firing him back into the ring. Zayn yanks Black into an Exploder and then Black rolls away before Zayn can deliver the Helluva Kick. Zayn goes out and pushes Trick’s foot off the desk before walloping Black and glaring at Trick. Trick throws his drink at Zayn and Zayn has had enough so he starts pummeling Trick. Zayn charges back in to beat the count and eats an immediate Black Mass. Black covers and gets three.

A lot of babyfaces in WWE are really stupid people, apparently. This is not breaking news. Black kind of carried this thing and Zayn took a beating here. This is apparently leading to something at WM with Trick and Zayn so maybe they’re giving Black some shine now so people don’t miss him if he’s not on the WM card. Not much to this other than to continue whatever this angle is with Zayn and Trick. 2*

Winner – Aleister Black (Black Mass)

Matt Cardona is begging Nick Aldis for a match with Randy Orton tonight but Aldis declines to make that match. Cardona leaves in a huff and here’s WWE Men’s US Champion Carmelo Hayes to question why he heard that the US Open Challenge is closed tonight. Aldis explains it’s closed because someone made a very compelling case about why they should be next. Aldis leaves and here’s Ilja Dragunov to say that he finally decided to take the shots that are in front of him. I CAN’T BELIEVE WE’RE DOING THIS AGAIN.

WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill is headed to the ring as we go to commercials.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Lash Legend and Nia Jax cut a pre-taped promo about the Bellas and wonder why the Bellas think they have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning tonight. Legend says the Bellas are trying to relive their glory days, and then she runs down Flair/Bliss, the Kabuki Warriors, and Bayley/Valkyria. Jax reminds everyone that they bring the pressure and the Bellas will find out the hard way tonight.

Here’s Jade Cargill out for a chat. Cargill calls out Rhea Ripley who responds immediately. Ripley stalks to ringside and grabs a mic. Ripley wants to know if its just going to be a chat or a fight, and Cargill says that Ripley needs the title. Cargill says she doesn’t need the title, the ring, or the fans. Cargill says with or without wrestling, she’s always been that bitch and will stay that bitch. Cargill says she didn’t come to make friends, she came to make money. Ripley says if Cargill didn’t come to make friends she’s doing a hell of a job. Ripley admits to wanting the title and talks about grinding since she was 16 to get to where she is. Cargill starts to insult Ripley about being IYO Sky’s sidekick and Ripley cuts it off to say that the title that’s around Cargill’s waist needs Ripley. Ripley says she wants the title and will take it at Wrestlemania. Ripley dares Cargill to hit her but Cargill declines and says she’ll do it on her time. Cargill exits the ring and holds the belt up and here’s B-Fab and Michin out to stand with Cargill? They surround the ring and Michin crushes Ripley with a kendo stick shot. Michin and B-Fab kick the crap out of Ripley and then hold her up so Cargill can deliver a kick and then follow that with Jaded. Cargill barks at a downed Ripley, and the new faction leave together.

So “if you can’t beat them, join them” is the story with B-Fab and Michin now? Cargill doesn’t really need heaters at this point but considering how lame most of this build has been, I guess this juices it somewhat. None of this makes me want to see this match any more than I did before and I’m still convinced that Ripley is going to have to carry this entire thing across the line.

Kit Wilson is with The Miz who’s very distracted. Miz talks about his week being very rough, and as he’s describing the whole thing, Danhausen pops up between them. As Miz and Danhausen are yelling at each other, a ladder falls behind Miz. Miz tells Wilson to lock in on the Miz method before confronting Jelly Roll, and after Wilson leaves, another ladder falls directly on Miz. LOVE THAT DANHAUSEN!

Here’s a fuming Solo Sikoa with the MFT’s. Sikoa screams at the group about losing the titles and their shot at Wrestlemana. Tama Tonga tells Sikoa he hasn’t been acting like himself and that he’s starting to sound like Roman Reigns. As Sikoa starts to question that, Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre come flying in while beating the crap out of each other. About fifty Security goobers finally break it up.

Ilja Dragunov makes his entrance as we go to commercials.

Dennis Rodman got the Hall of Fame call today. It’s an interesting choice but they do a celebrity every year and I guess Rodman wanted a free weekend in Vegas. Who wouldn’t, right?

WWE Men’s US Championship: Carmelo Hayes (C) vs Ilja Dragunov

Hayes gives a couple of clean breaks, but after the second one Dragunov shoves him. Hayes slaps Dragunov who then drives Hayes to the opposite corner to start clubbering away. Dragunov and Hayes do some acrobatics and rope-running and then Dragunov waffles Hayes with a Constantin Special as we go to commercials.

Dragunov is dropping elbows on Hayes ribs when the show returns. Dragunov yanks Hayes up and Hayes tries to fire up. Dragunov hits an underhook suplex and covers Hayes for two. Dragunov puts the boots to Hayes so Hayes responds with some forearms and chops. Hayes hits his Dirty Diana helicopter bulldog and gets two. Hayes smashes Dragunov in a corner and then sends him to the floor with a lariat. Hayes hits a tope con hilo and crashes his ribs into the announce desk for his troubles. Hayes fires Dragunov back in and ascends for a splash that gets two off a terrible cover due to the rib thing he just sustained. Dragunov catches Hayes off a springboard and fires him over with a German. Dragunov hits a top rope senton and covers Hayes for two. Dragunov ascends and Hayes catches him with the First 48. Dragunov shakes that off and drops Hayes with a huge right hand. Hayes gets his foot on the ropes as the ref counts two. We go to commercials.

Hayes gets pulled up on Dragunov’s shoulders for a Death Valley Driver on the apron when the show returns. Dragunov ascends and yanks Hayes up with him. They go to the top rope and Hayes turns whatever Dragunov was going to try into a top rope cutter that gets two. Dragunov wants Hayes to chop him and they start slugging it out mid-ring. Dragunov hits a bunch of chops and a low dropkick. Dragunov hits a stomp and yanks Hayes up for a powerbomb that gets two. Dragunov hits a backbreaker that gets two. Dragunov gets caught in another First 48 and Hayes covers for two. Hayes ascends and misses his dive. Dragunov snaps off a Torpedo Moscow and wants a powerbomb. Hayes slips over and grabs a sunset flip that gets three.

It’s a good match. Hayes and Dragunov are good opponents for each other. I never want to see them wrestle again. Open Challenges are played out and I can’t wait until a heel wins this title and makes people do a dance for him to get title shots. Hayes needs a new antagonist and soon – let’s point Aleister Black at him maybe? ANYONE BUT DRAGUNOV?! PLEASE?! 3.5*

Winner and STILL WWE Men’s US Champion – Carmelo Hayes (Sunset Flip)

Jelly Roll is congratulating Truth and Priest backstage and they agree to meet up later. Jelly Roll runs into Randy Orton who apologizes for last week, and Jelly Roll tells him that he knows what it’s like to be a bad guy and being judged for his worst moment. JR tells Orton not to let the monster in and the version of Orton that he knows is a good husband, father, and man. JR says he doesn’t know that guy from last week and family, friends and those that ride with him are for life. Orton wants to know what he can do and JR suggests making things right with Matt Cardona. They exchange “I love you’s” and a handshake and Orton says he hears what JR is saying.

Here’s Kit Wilson out to his ridiculously great entrance theme. He’ll call out Jelly Roll after commercials.

Highlights are shown of the Brock Lesnar-Oba Femi confrontation from Raw this week – see Kat’s review for further details!

Kit Wilson demands Jelly Roll’s presence, and JR heads to the ring quickly. Wilson rolls to the floor and JR says he wants a referee right now. Wilson says that JR’s bravado and ego is getting ahead of his brain and proposes settling it like gentleman. Wilson says he doesn’t fight with his fists, he fights with his words. JR says things are getting weird and questions whether or not Wilson brought him all the way to Raleigh for a rap battle? Wilson says no to that, it will be SLAM POETRY. Wilson mocks JR’s face tattoos and criminal past before insulting JR’s weight loss. Wilson says JR congratulations on losing three hundred pounds so that JR can now see his “little willie”. JR says he didn’t bring a book of poetry or anything, and says that he doesn’t have to destroy Wilson because Wilson’s mother sees his little willie. JR does some more “I have sex with your mom” stuff and Wilson finally has had enough. Wilson smashes JR with the microphone and then goes to work in the corner with forearms. Wilson ascends and crushes JR with a corkscrew elbow.

Hey look, I’ve seen stupider segments on this show. I think. Anyway, at least this was relatively short. I wouldn’t call it entertaining, however.

Here’s Kiana James and WWE Women’s US Champion Giulia backstage and James is trying to apologize for losing last week but Giulia doesn’t seem to want to hear it. Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre roll into the scene to offer their help with Giulia wanting to beat Tiffany Stratton up, but Giulia doesn’t want any part of that. Giulia and James leave, and as Fyre and Green are discussing the disrespect that was just shown, Nia Jax shoves Green’s wheelchair. Jax and Lash Legend are heading out for our main event of the evening. We go to commercials.

Jelly Roll wants a match with Kit Wilson and insists that Nick Aldis make it for next week. Aldis grants this wish. CONGRATULATIONS PITTSBURGH!

WWE Women’s Tag Championship: The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend) vs The Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie Bella)

This is the first time that the Bellas have teamed together since 2008 and hey look, it’s a title match somehow! Nikki kicks Jax and then runs into a Jax forearm as Legend and Brie battle on the floor. Jax gets dumped on the second rope and Brie tags in. Brie hits a shotgun dropkick on the prone Jax and then starts working a wristlock. Nikki tags in and drops a double sledge on Jax’s arm. Nikki and Brie get rammed together by Jax but they fire up to drop Legend from the apron before hitting a double bulldog on Jax. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss enter and cause a distraction which allows Legend to crush both Bellas from behind. We go to commercials.

Jax is unable to prevent a tag to Brie as the show returns. Brie yells BRIE MODE and then wallops Jax with a running knee. Jax yanks Brie up and wants the Annihilator, but Brie slips away and starts throwing YES kicks. Legend charges in and Brie dropkicks her to the floor, but Brie charges into a pop up headbutt from Jax. Jax gets sent to the floor and Nikki tags in to hit a double cross-body on the champs. Nikki rolls Jax back in and then beefs with Legend. That allows Jax to yank Nikki up and tag in Legend. Jax hits a second rope Samoan Drop and Legend follows with a splash. Brie breaks the cover up at two. Brie hits an X-Factor on Legend and then goes to the floor with Jax. Nikki puts an STF on Legend and as Jax has Brie lined up for a belt shot Flair intervenes. Flair kicks Jax and the ref calls for the bell. The Bellas attack Flair at ringside and then drive her into the ring. Bliss charges in and everyone starts fighting including Jax and Legend. It ends with Jax and Legend combining for a second rope legdrop from Jax onto Flair. The champs get their belts and leave everyone laying.

This was not great up until the expected non-finish. Brie is still pretty bad, and Nikki is not what she once was. Jax and Legend did their best here and as soon as Flair and Bliss showed up, the finish was set in stone. I cannot tell you in good conscience that this will be a good triple threat at WM but since Jax and Legend also mentioned the Kabukis and Valkyria/Bayley we may be getting an enormous match at WM. I guess we’ll see. Again, this was not too good up until the crap finish. 2*

No winner – Flair interference caused the match to be thrown out

Randy Orton is taking another phone call from someone, and he says he’s going to go to the ring and FIX IT. We go to commercials.

Tessitore and Barrett run down the card for next week’s show in Pittsburgh. Maybe Bret Hart will finally show up to deliver the enema he promised Pittsburgh LO THOSE MANY YEARS AGO.

“Voices” hits again, and here’s Randy Orton toting his chair. Orton slaps hands with some kids along the way. Orton does the full entrance including his pose because we have like eight minutes still to kill. Orton says he’s got an apology to make and wants Matt Cardona in the ring so he can deliver it personally. Here’s Matt Cardona stalking to the ring and I’ll be honest gang, I don’t like his odds here. Orton says he’s been out of his head and he’s legit sorry about his cracks about action figures and video games. Orton says he has to apologize to Cody next week but for now he wants Cardona’s forgiveness. They shake hands and hug it out, and then Orton kicks Cardona in the nuts and drops him with an RKO. Orton dumps Cardona to the outside and mounts him on the announce table where he starts smashing him with right forearms. Orton breaks apart the ring steps and Security and officials pour out from the back. Orton gets a big “Randy” chant here and he puts his hands over his face. Orton decides he’s not done and runs Cardona back into the ring to start smashing him around again. Orton puts Cardona’s arm in the chair and gets backed off by Security. In a hilarious twist that no one could have seen coming, Orton fires out and stomps on the chair as the wildly ineffective Security and group of officials look on. The crowd, who definitely have bought into this heel turn, helpfully chant “ONE MORE TIME!”. Nick Aldis, who has total control here, tells Orton that this isn’t who he is, but then the ‘tron shows more of the battle between Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre happening on top of a scaffold. Aldis and his group take off to watch this unfold. McIntyre and Fatu battle outside the guardrails of the scaffold and both of them tumble down and out of sight as Aldis yells for medical. The credits roll and we’re out.

If you are a Randy Orton fan in Raleigh North Cackalacky, tonight was your lucky night. Boy that was a whole lot of Orton, wasn’t it? They are throwing every heel idea out there for him and the fans are chanting his name and initials and telling him to break Cardona’s arm not once but twice! I wonder how this is going to go in Pittsburgh because apparently QB1 will be back on the show next week. Let’s see, what else happened? Well, we got the 789th match between Carmelo Hayes and Ilja Dragunov, the Bellas lumbered around over two segments, B-Fab and Michin turned heel for some reason, the Motor City Machine Guns needed Candice LeRae to win a match, and Jelly Roll and Kit Wilson did poetry together. Listen, if you had a good time with tonight’s show, more power to you, but I did not and I’m giving this show thumbs down. Take it up with me in comments if you need to.

Thanks for reading and commenting. Let’s all think good thoughts for Randy Orton’s heel turn, shall we? Maybe that will give it the impetus it needs to, you know, actually work at some point.
