Don't know why they changed it from Bayley and Naomi vs Nia and Tiffany, with they lost then either Bayley or Naomi has to leave SD. But if they win then they get to face Nia in a 3way match. Also, Bayley gets an automatic rematch for the title, but sadly they've turned it into a 3way for it.
Mister Davis! Good Lord! Thank goodness you have returned! So, you were on holiday in my home country of Italy, eh?! Lovely! Great to have you back, mate. 👍 Grazie! Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧🇮🇹
@@pablotherealone9834 stfu bro 🤣🤣🤣 you're like 12 do you even know what Mark means ? Or you just blindly say it because your favorite wrestler does? Bozo
Romans change from barely being able to do a decent promo to doing fantastic promo work is really great to see. Roman taking that challenge to work his butt off & decide to learn the acting part is tremendous to watch
The problem wasn't Roman! The problem was Vince! Roman looked really good during his time in NXT, but on the main roster he had Vince making him say stupid stuff like "Sufferin' succotash!"
It has to be a slow build but a year and a half from now when Cody has been turned on by all his friends, him becoming a self righteous ass would work so so well
I remember that Pete mentioned this implicit WWE rule that tag team partners could only break up a pin once per match last year. I wasn't expecting to see it get enforced but our savior Tanga Loa did it for all us, as he broke up the pin twice
I'm really hoping it's not Roman, Cody, Randy, and KO. It should be Roman, Jey, Jimmy, and Sami. Partially because storyline wise it makes more sense but also because you're putting 4 main eventers against 4 mid carders at best. Maybe 3 mid carders and a potential main eventer in Jacob.
WWE trying to go full Lucha Underground with the Cody segment. ALWAYS go full Lucha Underground. The real test is going to be if they remember to treat the camera as "non-diagetic" for their cinematic segments. No commenters saying: "We now take you to..." no "Last week, we saw Cody and Roman talk in a football stadium" the camera does not physically exist in the world. It is not broadcasting to the studio. This is important.
Thank u Oli for making this kind of video to keep content/news fresh, even w/o editors. You're so good now at doing this in one take, and I appreciate the drive to make this, and the result.
This whole "Will Kevin Owens turn on Cody Rhodes?" storyline reminds me of the Eddie Guerrero and Batista storyline where you are constantly thinking whether Eddie would turn heel on Batista or not. And I am all for it!
Zilla is shooting himself in the foot by burning bridges with these indy promotions. Because he's only been wrestling for like a year or two. And he's already getting a big head. He's basically brute forcing his way to get signed by WWE. But there is no guarantee he'll get signed. IF he does get signed, they're not just gonna thrust him into the Bloodline while he's still incredibly green. He'd have to spend a year or two in NXT to get more fine tuning. And by that point, the whole Bloodline storyline will have likely concluded.
Thanks for getting in on a saturday to cut this vid. I know getting people in on the weekend can be a big ask, but I hope we get more like it. Welcome back, Oli.
Welcome back Oli! Sorry about your bad flight! It’s great to see you guys in 4K even if it is unedited. Maybe you could consider doing more of these? As someone who watches mostly on TV 4K would definitely be awesome more often! The Georgia Tech promo was great! It literally gave me chills!
I think KO “reluctantly” joins Cody and Roman for War Games with Sami and Jey, but if they lose, he turns heel on all of them. Or he costs them the match and then says the next Smackdown that he’s done helping people, only to get backstabbed later. Sets up another match with him vs Cody as a proper Heel, and then he can go to Raw and maybe feud with the next WHC after Gunther.
Love that we have news again on a Saturday with a SmackSown review, like it being a one take video but feel the quality of the video is off without having an editor. Can appreciate staff need days off but wrestling happens every day of the week almost, think it's time Oli looked at putting those fine editors onto a shift pattern 😜
I went to the show and overall it was good. Unfortunately the dark matches after smackdown were better than smackdown itself. No Roman or solo, no Randy. No Cody promo. We got a dark match Cody vs Carmelo Hayes. Jey uso vs drew and then liv Morgan vs Lyra valkyria. After the show was over Cody pulled out a table and gave Carmelo a power bomb through the table
@@wazzupidaug5 it was. Cool moment for that kid. Another cool moment was right after the tv taping was done KO giving a shirt to a lady who had a sign that said she just beat cancer. KO came up and gave her a hug and had a nice moment with her. Then right across the aisle (and two rows in front of me) was a kid that had a sign that said KO is my hero autograph here. He stopped had a moment with the kid, gave him the shirt off his back and signed his sign
@@bigsparke live events are great I need to go every time they have them in sac my last one was smackdown in 2002 when they had the stage with the fist
@@wazzupidaug5 I almost didn’t go last night I’m glad I did. The house show parts are always super fun. It see like they only are coming around to Sacramento once a year now
I met zilla fatu at the HOG show in nyc , he was a class act . Directly out of winning a title he goes into the crowd and signs autographs takes pics and just gave so much love to the fans . Even got to hang out with him . He will be at the HOG show on sept 29
10:25 Roman actually left it more vague than that. He said "I'm taking back what's mine." We're obviously supposed to think he's just talking about the championship, but he could well be hinting at something else beyond that too (or if they figure out something else he wants to take back in the future, they can retroactively use this as a hint towards it)
cody romain segment was great. KO turns so slowly, wtf cody, you're helping a bloodline member. Think tiff in the bank, w Nia as a friend has run its course. Tiff should troll Liv one show. Jacob fatu is an amazing athlete, championship worthy.
Isn't there like an unwritten rule in the WWE where you can only break up pins in tag team matches so many times before it's a disqualification? I know I've heard that somewhere, it makes a little bit more sense in that context but it's still a random way to end this match (also can we stop having bloodline centric main events for smackdown that involve the street profits? It's The second time now that a match between these two teams that didn't have to end in a DQ ended in DQ)
Some major points I think you missed: -Roman talked about the weight on his neck being gone. Not shoulder. Not back. Neck - the ula fala is what mattered most to Reigns. He then immediately said something about not having a country to fight for - look at what has been prominent on Cody Rhodes' neck for the longest time. -Cody deliberately cut Roman off, because he was angry that Roman still didn't get it - the WWE Championship is not Roman's to take, it does not belong to him - it belongs to whoever deserves it, fairly in the eyes of the fans - that was the point of the Cody Rhodes dethroning Roman Reigns story.
As a writer myself, that was pure cinema and I noticed it as well. Roman feels entitled to regain his title, his bloodline, his WWE while Cody is like, not so fast my friend..
I said it elsewhere. My biggest pet peeve in wrestling now is fans calling everything they like "cinema/cinematic." Because cause cinema doesn't mean "good". The Room is cinema, Jar Jar in the Phantom Menace is cinema, etc.
- On the face off, Cody stepped in Roman’s way because the OTC said he would be coming for his title and Cody said “it’s not yours to take”. - I don’t get why the ref just stop the count when there are two pinning situations. At some point one person of each team was getting the pin, would that be a draw? - The bloodline interfered in the SP match at NXT, that’s why they teamed up with KO. - The DQ on the main event was stupid and lazy, why couldn’t they come up with something else?
Did Anyone paid attention to how the Crowd reacted to Montez Ford flipping to the outside then he got on the table! Triple H should pay attention to that
To be fair, there is supposed to be a rule in tag team matches that allows only a certain amount of pin-fall break-ups from the tag partner(s). I'm actually glad to see it being applied for a change and it should be applied regularly. That said, I believe it does (or is supposed to) result in a DQ for the offending team not just throwing the match out. Also, according to what the idiot Nia said, she should be forced to leave Smackdown as she said "the loser has to leave Smackdown". (Unless it was Tiffany Straton then she has to leave. I didn't actually watch the match.)
This is true. This was what they tried to apply to the UE v Moustache Mountain Tag Match on NXT years ago, which is why Tyler threw in the towel. However, the rule has been pretty much disregarded over the years so it felt a bit out of place,much like this DQ finish did. I'd like to see it more enforced, as it can make tag matches so much more tense.
Kevin owens joins the new bloodline as Kevin Fatu .... sami tries to talk him out of it. Sami keeps getting beat up for a couple of weeks. Then Sami comes back as Sami Uso
🤔 Kevin Fatu. It would need work, and a build to get there, but just saying it... I can see that side of KO that funded with Stone Cold for a spell coming out.
Seems the audio was recorded with cardioid (shaped like a heart) setting selected for the microphone (picks up sound depending on the direction you talk into it). So if you have the microphone placed to your right, the audio playback will mostly be present on the right. Omnidirectional (shaped like a circle) is what should be used to prevent stuff like this, although I do recommend doing tests to make sure it doesn't pick up unwanted background noise.
Because of these things WWE is called the big league of wrestling nobody does a better job then WWE when it comes to storytelling in pro wrestling and this min cinema is a great example of it WWE again sowed the importance of storytelling AEW could never do this kinda storytelling
I gotta be honest, I love the bloodline story and I’m not trying to be negative here, I really feel Cody needs to be somehow extricated from the story, if for just like a few months. For his own benefit I mean, I don’t think you want his title run to be a just footnote in the bloodline story. Like what I’d do personally is have him and Roman win clean at bad blood. Cody takes out Jacob somehow and Roman gets the clean win over Solo. Since Roman got the pin, pivot the story to him and Solo. Cody can go feud elsewhere, maybe with KO. Then you start showing Jacob and the Tongans maybe starting to appear less confident in Solo, since he’s always losing. Solo starts to come unglued a bit, desperate to prove himself, so he challenges Roman to Wargames: OG Bloodline versus New Bloodline, stakes are the unification of the Bloodline and the title of Tribal Chief. You could even have the OG Bloodline team lose so Roman has to serve Solo for a little while, that’d be a fun little wrinkle for a bit. I assume somehow we’re getting that Rock Vs Roman match at Mania, maybe Solo willingly gives the Ula Fala to Rock or something.
Theres a MMA movie called Warrior (guest starting Kurt Angle) where the two main characters meet and have a "face off" on a beach all alone and this reminded me of this Cody/Roman story. I would have prefered it was more subtle (the music wasn't needed, we could have had quite tension instead). But overall amazing work from WWE on being creative and trying new ways to get talent stories across. The build up for Mania in two years from now, Roman vs Cody again will be amazing
Probably an unpopular War Games booking, but the New Bloodline + Hikuleo vs. Roman/Cody/Street Profits and a missing KO who comes at the very end and turns on Cody. This would extend the reign of terror from the bloodline, give Cody more to do in between wrestlemania and give the Street Profits a much needed boost.
I think it's interesting how Kevin Owens kept saying in the lead up to his match against Cody that those people he'd betrayed deserved it (except for Kofi; Sorry Kofi!) and then held true to his word by not betraying Cody because Cody didn't deserve it, it was just a match. However, teaming up with Roman Reigns? Does Cody now deserve it?
WWE has really messed this storyline up. It was supposed to be a Bloodline Civil War. The original Bloodline members vs the new. I believe the reason it's not that way because Roman Reigns is a bigger attraction than Cody. WWE doesn't won't the Bloodline to be a bigger attraction than the undisputed universal champion.
WWE better have an impact face to compete with him. We all know Cody will be doing a heel turn, it is only a matter of time. Cody is perhaps the biggest face in the WWE. There's really no face to absorb the heel turn to make it impactful enough. I think Roman is over enough to deal with the New Bloodline, and they really need someone else to step up to the plate.
My thought is that when the Rock handed an unknown item to Cody Rhodes that it was a piece of the Ulafala (I know I didn't spell that correctly) and Cody Rhodes is actually the tribal chief and he has been playing with every one in an effort to keep his title. Cody knew Roman would be back eventually and Roman would want the belt back. Cody, knowing the numbers issue is sitting in the dark puppeteering not only the bloodline, but also the faces. Jmho
I really really enjoy these videos, it feels like Oli is doing this literally for me, telling me the news and the smackdown review. It feels like so much more personal, friendly and chill. Love it!
Zilla Fatu is just too damn gangster 😂 straight up hood dude. I think he can’t leave that side of him at the door in the wrestling world. Jacob is the same exact way but he’s learning the business fast.

Kevin Owen's issue goes back to what he told Sami too
Exactly! He told Sami he can't be with them and be his friend, which is now how he's looking at Cody like, " This MF here.."
I like the low production value news special. This is what I imagine Wrestletalk would be if Oli was an independent youtuber in 2009.
I remember that Pete mentioned this implicit WWE rule that tag team partners could only break up a pin once per match last year. I wasn't expecting to see it get enforced but our savior Tanga Loa did it for all us, as he broke up the pin twice
I do like the way WWE are putting in a single thread of justifiability into their characters' eventual heel turn.
I'm really hoping it's not Roman, Cody, Randy, and KO. It should be Roman, Jey, Jimmy, and Sami. Partially because storyline wise it makes more sense but also because you're putting 4 main eventers against 4 mid carders at best. Maybe 3 mid carders and a potential main eventer in Jacob.

Oli did a great job with this Smackdown review, added he came up with some great booking ideas WWE should consider using.
Jacob Fatu is the anchor of the Bloodline. He’s the best thing about it at the moment.
It's a rule they never mention for some reason, but you are only allowed to "break up" a pin once per match. If you do it a second time, that's a DQ.
Thank you for doing the review for smackdown! You guys finally heard us
Sat needs to come back
Also Roman and Cody at the football field at Georgia tech with no crowd saying what every five seconds is amazing.

I don’t care for the cinematic promos, why would the characters go to that stadium just to talk? It doesn’t work for me
Thank goodness Oli is back! 😁
I was there live. My wife surprised me and we went with a friend. My wife isn't into wrestling so he kept calling Cody "America Man."

About time the Smackdown reviews came back.
We appreciate the Saturday news being back!
Fantastic reviews, Oli!
Lowkey I really like this “old RUclips style” of reviews
This was less of a review and more of just story time with oli. Which is greatly appreciated because ive recently lost cable
I gotta be honest, I love the bloodline story and I’m not trying to be negative here, I really feel Cody needs to be somehow extricated from the story, if for just like a few months. For his own benefit I mean, I don’t think you want his title run to be a just footnote in the bloodline story. Like what I’d do personally is have him and Roman win clean at bad blood.

Solo starts to come unglued a bit, desperate to prove himself, so he challenges Roman to Wargames: OG Bloodline versus New Bloodline, stakes are the unification of the Bloodline and the title of Tribal Chief. You could even have the OG Bloodline team lose so Roman has to serve Solo for a little while, that’d be a fun little wrinkle for a bit. I assume somehow we’re getting that Rock Vs Roman match at Mania, maybe Solo willingly gives the Ula Fala to Rock or something.
These smackdown reviews are so raw
Theres a MMA movie called Warrior (guest starting Kurt Angle) where the two main characters meet and have a "face off" on a beach all alone and this reminded me of this Cody/Roman story. I would have prefered it was more subtle (the music wasn't needed, we could have had quite tension instead). But overall amazing work from WWE on being creative and trying new ways to get talent stories across. The build up for Mania in two years from now, Roman vs Cody again will be amazing
Really enjoying the Strongbad-esque graphics. Please make it permanent.
Survivor Series pitch: Bloodline (Roman,Jey,Jimmy,Zilla,Rock) vs. Bloodline (Solo,Fatu,Toa,Loa,Hikuleo)
I don't want a KO turn, I'd prefer seeing the Homelander version of Cody. That smile in the end of the show could say / promise a lot of things !
That DQ is absolutely nonsense.
This felt very cinematic... You should do more reviews like this 😂
SD was great! Cody and Roman is Epic
They should do more promos like Cody and Roman, more often. That was top tier storytelling.
Yikes!! We all need to get on that patreon
Welcome back, oli!
Maybe they will do Naomi vs Jax vs Bayley vs Stratton in a fatal four-way for the belt.
Probably an unpopular War Games booking, but the New Bloodline + Hikuleo vs. Roman/Cody/Street Profits and a missing KO who comes at the very end and turns on Cody. This would extend the reign of terror from the bloodline, give Cody more to do in between wrestlemania and give the Street Profits a much needed boost.
I think it's interesting how Kevin Owens kept saying in the lead up to his match against Cody that those people he'd betrayed deserved it (except for Kofi; Sorry Kofi!) and then held true to his word by not betraying Cody because Cody didn't deserve it, it was just a match. However, teaming up with Roman Reigns? Does Cody now deserve it?
YES. IT'S BACK. (i know, it happened earlier) but STILL YEEEEEEEEEEEEET
I love it when Oli does these, so good
What an awesome way to start my Saturday seeing Oli Davis do the WrestleTalk News.
WE WANT SAT!
Great video Oli. Welcome back
The DQ was not due to the pin breakup. They threw KO into the stairs which is illegal then the ref called the bell
I had to chuckle at Cody the big hero literally riding in on a white steed (he was driving a white mustang)
Loving these intimate review!!!!!❤😂🎉
Bring back Sat E days and Smackdown reviews
Nice to meet you, Holidayvis
Love that PS Smackdown 2 theme you did
WWE has really messed this storyline up. It was supposed to be a Bloodline Civil War. The original Bloodline members vs the new. I believe the reason it's not that way because Roman Reigns is a bigger attraction than Cody. WWE doesn't won't the Bloodline to be a bigger attraction than the undisputed universal champion.
Proper Smackdown reviews please
WWE better have an impact face to compete with him. We all know Cody will be doing a heel turn, it is only a matter of time. Cody is perhaps the biggest face in the WWE. There's really no face to absorb the heel turn to make it impactful enough. I think Roman is over enough to deal with the New Bloodline, and they really need someone else to step up to the plate.
omg the vinci push joke was a dinger oli hahaha
My thought is that when the Rock handed an unknown item to Cody Rhodes that it was a piece of the Ulafala (I know I didn't spell that correctly) and Cody Rhodes is actually the tribal chief and he has been playing with every one in an effort to keep his title. Cody knew Roman would be back eventually and Roman would want the belt back. Cody, knowing the numbers issue is sitting in the dark puppeteering not only the bloodline, but also the faces. Jmho
Saturday's. The day where they forget to plug in the microphone
I really really enjoy these videos, it feels like Oli is doing this literally for me, telling me the news and the smackdown review. It feels like so much more personal, friendly and chill. Love it!
Zilla Fatu is just too damn gangster 😂 straight up hood dude. I think he can’t leave that side of him at the door in the wrestling world. Jacob is the same exact way but he’s learning the business fast.
It took Pete leaving to really get me to appreciate Wrestletalk again. I won't take it for granted anymore.
Pete is the worst, but I love oli and luke alot, even tempest and sat E
@@ankkushpaul9931 I had my differences with Pete, but I still valued him and hope to see him stop by from time to time.
