When Logan Paul said "That's a crime" I immediately assumed he was making sure Simon Miller didn't miss it for the Crime Counter!"😂😂
Lol 😂 I was thinking the same thing bcus I know wrestling guys know about whatculture wrestling and Simon Miller
Two great lines from the Logan Paul segment.
When LA said he was going to get another banner, Paul said, "You got a banner? What are you DJ Khaled - you got another one?"
Then when LA said, "Logan Paul's head is so empty they're going to open a Spirit Halloween in there." I was dying laughing.
I like how LA wrote "Yeah" on that banner, and then decided to carefully outline each letter afterwards.
LA Knight had one of the best burns of all time right there.
Which is why I’m worried he might lose today
Jacob Fatu is a beast the finish to the match was so good…
Literally I couldn’t help replaying it 4-5x cuz it looked like a mortal combat combo into fatality. It was fucking insane.
Dude hit like a triple finisher combo finish. It was fn awesome and now I see why they held him back. He sooo wouldve overshadowed Solo and the rest of the new Bloodline.
Yup, replayed it several times after and was just frozen there in shock while it was happening. That was insane! That match overall was so good but that finish😮💨
@@anthonyturner6399same I was like damn damn damn each move 🤣🤣
Ups and downs with the right name, now we can look forward to Hot WrestleMania tonight.
Simon….you’re the best i swear!! The number of times i bursted out laughing through out the video.
9:46
Pretty Dudley!! That must be one of the Dudley’s from their ECW run 😂
Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it
Best unscripted moment:
Little Quill Gargano waving "buh-bye" to his daddy...
👋👋😭😭🤦♂🤦♂🤣🤣
And to those tag team titles 😂
Smackdown go home Show was fun wow we have new tag champions tonight's Summerslam gonna be 🔥
I laughed so hard when Logan Paul said "THAT'S A CRIME!" And thought immediately of you chortling over it.
Same I was there last night and automatically was the first thing I thought of 😭
Can we have Devon and Bubba Ray comeback as “Pretty Dudley”?!
Can't wait to hear Simon say how disappointed he is that they let DIY be a transitional champion. Man, DIY lose the title before Theory and The Aussie guy started feuding.
I’ve convinced myself it’s leading to their singles feud on the main roster. Then I’ll love it. If I’m wrong, for sure. We shall revisit.
@@SimonMillerYT😮😮😮 Simon finally knew I exist, my life is complete.
"Tammy Tonga"?! 🤣🤣
He's bringing Jacob; you're dead, Simon!
Sad for DIY.
100 percent but I have feeling just like the miz and r-truth they will get another longer run.
Sunny did that giant banner drop at SummerSlam in the same building in '96; though Bulldog and Owen didn't sabotage it until the following PPV, it is a strange coincidence...
If they do make a "Pretty Deadly Musical," Simon should get an audition for a bit role.
Solo pulling a Christian Cage 😂
If anyone is an authority on crime, it’s Logan Paul.
L.A. Knight segment was awesome, he better be walking out the new U.S. champion or we riot Sunday morning!
Tonight Cody vs the Bloodline is gonna be fantastic!
One of my favourite moments of this episode was indicative of how over new WWE stars can get so quickly when booked right;
When Jacob was shown from the crane-cam walking through the crowd area, everyone stood up and pointed like "OOHH, DAMN! Cody's in trouble now!" Contrary to how things are remembered in hindsight, modern post-kayfabe monsters like Khali, Mark Henry and Umaga specifically, NEVER got that response from fans, who mostly laughed at them. The shot used was the way the WWWF/WWF shot Andre in the 80's, before cutting to the aisle camera...
new to these videos but these reviews are so much fun!
These last few weeks have featured many of the stars that will be at the WWE Fan Fanatics huge event on Aug 16-18 in NYC. Very good timing by WWE. I'll be there to meet with Tiffy, Bianca, Jade and LA. Cody, Jey, Liv, Rhea, Drew and some others will also be there. This is a big month for WWE. Good job as always, Simon!
I'm not on social media but I'm strongly considering ' FOOT PAGE' 😂
RUclips is social media pal 😂
remember folks, both DIY dudes were once said to be Triple H guys, now we have'm losing the titles on their first defense after almost a month of getting them. goes to show how there're no guarantees in life or whatever
Im so wondering if we're about to see all Championships change hands for SummerSlam. Wouldn't mind that one bit if so.
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that the payoff we know we're getting for this boring chapter of the bloodline isn't worth this said boring phase? I think a lot of potential stories are being neglected. And I still don't see anything in Solo. I think he's very lucky to be where he is
The Bloodline winning the tag team championships just makes it clear that Solo IS NOT winning the championship at Summer Slam.
Cody and Jacob would’ve been far better for Summerslam. I’ve been saying it since day one; Jacob should’ve been brought in back in 2022 in place of Solo.
Side note: they emphasized the fact that Roman feared Solo. I honestly don’t see Roman coming back ready to fight, not only Solo, but the rest of the Bad Bloodline 🤔
Imagine Roman coming out and getting beat up by Tonga 😂
The LA Knight segment was so much better than you made it sound. The fact he said something like "dickhead coming round the corner in" and counted down 3.2.1 and Logan arrived on screen in time made me laugh hard.
Brown Down:; they put the tag titles on diy then switch them to the Temu bloodline…..
Did he say Pretty Dudley???
I heard that as well. I started cracking up big time 🤣.
It wasn't Elektra that tripped Baron, Simon. She was stood right there next to him! It was just Berto (I think) who slipped under the ring to grab him after getting knocked down off the other side...
No Simon, it couldn't be Elektra Lopez who grabbed Apollo's foot because she was standing right there.
It was the other dude from the faction. They showed it in a replay later in the program.
Oh YEAH, bring on the Slam of the Summer
Was a decent show, the crowd was mild for the first 2 matches. But let me tell you the 2 dark matches where fire, Chad vs Bron, then a 8 man tag with judgment day vs awesome truth, Rey mysterio and Jey Uso, we Yeeted for 5 replays of the song, and Rey hit a 619 on the 4 judgment day making it a 2476.
Good morning, Simon!
In NXT, Ciampa and Gargano chasing the tag titles and coming up short, winning them, losing them and failing to recapture them was a year's worth of highlights - proper long term storytelling where nobody knew when the payoff would come. This led to Ciampa's turn, building to arguably the best story WWE ever told.
On the main roster, for some reason HHH decided they should be handed the titles in a throwaway match only to lose them without any ceremony. I used to blame Vince for the main roster failing to utilise NXT talent and failing to tell interesting stories, but now it seems HHH is doing the same.
When I saw the DIY promo and saw Ciampa kiss the title twice I knew it was all over for them lol, they were really good too
I felt bad for Baron being relegated to the sidelines of a squash match.
72 specials got me 🤣😂 Jacob is definitely a beast
Good that Johnny got his hometown one-man flurry of offense spot in toward the end, after Ciampa was taken out;
Vince would have had him get utterly squashed BECAUSE it was his hometown...
Hayes and Andrade would make a good tag team. They complement each other well in the ring.
Any time bianca and jade are involved it gets a down for some reason. If you haven't noticed by now if you rake a shot every time they get a down,it would be 1 shot a week.
SIMON IS THE BEST, SIMON NUMBER ONE 👏👏

Great episode of Ups and Downs. I want to give you a Golden Up 👆 sir.
What's the over/ under that we'll see a "Hot Wrestlemania" sign tonight in the crowd???
I was upset when Duo Sokola didn’t appear to interrupt on Solo’s behalf at summerslam
Lol… Simon said “ Andrade reserved a Supplex into the most devastating move in all of sports entertainment” instead of reversed😂 I got a kick out of that
That Blair Davenport DQ was so exhausting to watch
😂
Where was Naomi for the save?
@@rsmitty483 she probably wasn’t there that night
Missed this. I recorded it on Hulu live but after ot was done there was no recording. Did the same last week. So now I'm going to have to watch Smackdown live like I do with Raw because Hulu will let you record them but not watch them later.
Get a job so you can pay for direct tv
R-Truth and Cena at Mania
I really hoped Jimmy would return and cost Tama and Fatu . But ah well
I’m half expecting to hear “LA Knight can’t compete for the championship tonight due to him being incarcerated for GTA” at SummerSlam now 😂😂😂
Man, we don't appreciate these little pop culture references from Simon. "Did it again" that made me chuckle
So we'll witness the debut of Solo Sikoa's twin brother: Duo Sikoa!
Maybe it's Han Sikoa instead 😂🤣.
SmackDown send-off show 😊
I hate to admit it, and dont know where else to admit it...but Im just not looking forward to Summerslam tonight. It is going to be very heel centric, and predictable. I mean why should I care about a predictable show with bad guys running things
I'm waiting for the summer slam video
Gargano is having a rough couple of weeks.
His family’s pizza shop burned not too long ago
I think Tiffany should hold the briefcase until the Royal Rumble. Nia wins at Summerslam and then gets cashed in on by Tiffany at the Rumble. Then they have a proper match at Mania for the belt.
If it’s bloodline rules Cody better have a gameplan
Randy and KO may return to help him.
@@KamoMustafaWWERandy turns on Cody it’s possible
@@danrhone9756 In my head, I imagine, Cody wins the match, the babyfaces celebrate, Randy RKO's Cody and leaves, The Bloodline attack KO, and Roman's music hits.
Bring back ups and downs for Collision
They need to make Solo win the US title in the near future. That would cement him a little more.
The Drew/Punk match was very underwhelming for me. Felt like they were holding back.
I called it! I knew Tiffany was gonna get a new pink briefcase!….someone give me a cookie 🍪 please!🙏 😂
🍪
Literally EVERYONE knew pal
Hot WrestleMania is going to be terrific!
It doesn’t surprise me that Bloodline took those tag titles. I knew it all along.
BLOODLINE RULES IS WHAT AGAIN???
Solo sings the national anthem. I thought rock made that clear.
I will be there tonight I cannot wait I am so jacked and stoked for SummerSlam I was there last night for smackdown and if that's any indication of what tonight's going to be like oh it's going to be epic
Why have both the Guerillas of Destiny if you aren't going to use them as a tag team? Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa should've been in the match
Simon please start a Morally Acceptable Counter
"Bloodline Rules" doesn't specify *which* version of The Bloodline can legally be involved;
...if what is expected to happen at SummerSlam happens, they should have Cody brag afterwards in a promo about Solo shooting himself in the foot/falling on his own sword with that stipulation...
Like someone had thrown up Prime ON a car, right Simon?
The ending made no sense unless Solo takes the title off cody. Taking the titles off DYI this soon if you aren't gonna give the bloodline all of the gold is beyond stupid IMO
Was there for the show last night and as a huge Bianca fan I dont understand the direction they are going with her. Sad to see really!
She’s training Jade right now 😂 what do you want her to do?
Andrade and Carmelo could have a match every week, for absolutely nothing, and it would be a banger.
Logan Paul allowed to tell "a joke about how another man is not his type" after what he said? Really bad
Jacob Fatu deserves all the gold in WWE. On the other hand, Solo taking their belts was in poor taste.
I think LA knight first Challenger should santos this make more sense..!
poor DIY….they shouldnt win in the 1st place…
3:29 indeed
For some reason i cant differentiate tribal combat and blood
Liv will be the only one to retain at Summerslam. Watch!
No Priest will aswell…
Oh and Cody…
Cody will retain
@@Barry80Elmshope so gunther as zero personality imo.
Logan will 🤣
FYRE & DAWN WITH DAVENPORT VS JBN
What’s crazy when Logan arrived he threw the 🔑s 2 a dude…. Guess he places them back in the ignition 🤷🏿
for some reason, in my toosie toes, i have a feeling triple H gonna pull a vince and have Logan win cleanly, im hoping thats not the case
Yeah, but are you really all that impressive if you keep beating a guy who always loses??
I'm worried about LA Knight getting one over on Smackdown...because that makes it betting odds that Logan is retaining his title tonight.
Yup Logan is winning. LA might win at Bad Blood though
Nah wwe is in PR cleanup mode after his tweets....he is probably gonna be off tv for a little bit@@barrysmith4610
The bloodline win was bad. Roman is back tonight. It should have been DQ.
Kind of sick of seeing the women's tag champs treated like chumps. They didn't even come out second and they're the champs
Hey what happened to the cool intros Simon miller
What they did to DIY was garbage but at the same time Jacob Fatu and Tama Tango did something the Islanders couldn't do is win the tag team titles
Hikuleo shows up tonight fersure
If Roman Reigns don't appear.....be prepared for Brock Lesnar to show up.
Jacob fatu is thr true tribal chief tbh
I want to see Jacob Fatu vs Roman Reigns😎
One of the most predictable matches...as if the bloodline would've lost the titles. Also wwe doesn't do right by Apollo
I’m just here for the crime counter
