WWE has these Macguffins (Punk's bracelet and Roman's Ula Fala) that have so much value and make the characters infinitely more important because of it. Right now, Solo is Gollum and is not ready to handle the weight of the Ula Fala.
Citizen, I have had the same sentiment for a long time. Though I love people having championships, it is not the only prize people can fight for. Honor,greed, and lust are motivations that even champions can thirst for. Right on with that one. Also, upvote my man's comment.
The bracelet is personal. The Ula Fala is personal. Something like that is worth more than a title belt. I like it when WWE gives people a reason that they don't need a title match. Damian getting revenge is more important than the title as he said (paraphrasing), "i can get another title shot later." It makes fueds so much more impactful without belts.
For me, it is mostly that the Roman segment on Smackdown was just a repeat of Summer Slam we already knew that Solo was next, and taking them out again didn't further his motivation or tell us anything about what his next steps are
@@Magic7ballu can triple h has yet to disappoint me with anything other than making Otis a singles star and that’s completely not out the cards yet, jus let bro cook😂
Solo posted an image on Instagram of him and Roman embracing with the caption “You lied to me” Just imagine how much harder that would have hit as an actual promo between the two of them last night
Bro roman is not a stupid babyface like he was in 2015 Solo literally kicked out Jimmy out of bloodline and introduced new bloodline memebers without his permission He also killed the person who made roman what he is now , paul Heyman Talking is the last thing roman would want to do at this point
I’m honestly gonna disagree with that last part because there were people chanting for Cody to come out and help Roman which I swear to you, wouldn’t happen if the statement of being overshadowed was true.
@@khesipresents1885 Well for past four months it was, How did it turned out? Horrible, btw when was smackdown peak? Yes in start of the year because of the bloodline stuff
Roman Reigns isn't saving SmackDown, Now all SmackDown heels need to pull up their game 😂. Cody Rhodes himself is so big star that he have run out of credible heels to challenge him to the point he is doing "You want match?" Feuds. The babyfaces in SmackDown are eclipsing the heels.😂 With Roman back the shadow is more big. SmackDown doesn't have good heels like RAW.
Cody is not getting boo'd anytime soon. I could see it maybe down the line if he's still champ but right now he's way too loved by the fans, even with Roman back.
I really don’t get the Cody being overshadowed convo, did we not hear the amount of cheers he got in that first segment last night. I don’t think he would get overly booed just because he’s fighting Roman
You dont understand what does really shadowing means bro . Cody is overshadowed by Roman while holding the title. Not only cody but everyone in the roster.roman is the main spotlight of the show,and the centre attention that people are talking about in the show,and a centre piece as hes the only one bigger more than the title In wwe at this point hes got much star power and Aura.definatly overshadowing cody as the champion.
Hot take: Until his return, Roman Reigns wasn’t ready for the eventual match with The Rock. Even with all of his achievements, title defenses and great feuds, for all this time he was Missing that last piece of the puzzle that would elevate him into a legendary performer on the same vein as The Rock himself. This is shown in how Rock eclipsed every single member of the bloodline in charisma, aura and pops. I think for the first time he now has that piece, and they’re both on the same level, so their fight will be generational.
I respectfully disagree that roman is on the same level as the rock. Realistically almost every star after 2013 probably won't be on the level of the greats before. It sucks that it's the case but most just don't have nearly the impact on wrestling as the older people.
Smackdown did desperately need Roman. Hes now the biggest baby face and even though he didnt do much last night he still got a bigger crowd reaction than Cody did earlier on.
If Roman is the biggest baby face on Smackdown, why were fans chanting for Cody to come out and help him against the bloodline? Doesn't sound like Roman is the bigger baby face to me.
@@AhmeenTheDreamthey never did they chanted OTc😅😂. You need to fix your TV it misleading you roman single handed the new bloodline alone.hes bigger than the title he aint said a word and everybody is feeling his presence and vibe. Roman is the only thing tbat matters most in smackdown at this moment his star power is higher than anyone's.
That’s kinda where it’s going. I feel like they’re trying to make it a storyline to where theory had a genuially good reason to turn face, and to give Waller a genuine reason to also turn even more heel.
day 41 of asking santi for a video where former nxt or main roster wwe superstars/factions would be in there wwe careers if they never left or never got released.
I feel like the way to get Sami and Jey to Smackdown is in a trade for Orton and KO, they don’t really have anything else going on over there at this point in time
Wasn't expecting to see my take in this video, thanks so much Santi! I do agree with your assessment on PLE recaps, and I did touch up on it in my own recap regarding the need for these recaps, especially for the first show following the PLE. For me, the commercials felt more egregious than the recaps, which I again attribute it to the network and not the product. Hopefully, SmackDown does get its third hour, which I'm hoping becomes a thing once Raw moves over to Netflix.
Santi - look up Giovanni Vinci from 2022 in NXT, he's returning to that character and I think it's got a LOT of potential on the Main Roster. He would flip being a solid English promo & Italian (which if he can build himself up for the Italian PLE in 2025, would be very fun) and he was basically just a standard wrestling trope but it worked well for him
Most wrestling fans are such impatient babies. Once they expect something, they need it NOW! They have no ability to wait. They dont understand how backstage politics works. They need to grow up!
3:25 if you're refering to Finn turning on Damian then I still don't really get the impression they view Finn as a main eventer. I think they'll just use Finn to make Damian look better. ATP I think Finn is the new Dolph; great but not world championship material (in WWE's eyes anyway)
3:28 that’s exactly what’s happening lol, it’s kinda obvious that they’re waiting for Bad Blood so he can have his first big babyface match in his hometown.
I have a feeling Nia jax is gonna revive the women's division on smackdown. Don’t forget she is literally the most hated woman in that locker room,so the feuds are going to cook.
19:19 the worst way you could have returned Roman is with a tactical vest with his logo on it, blue eyes, a goatee and his shield ripoff theme and Michael Cole goes "Oh my, here comes the BIG DAWGGG!!!" and after spearing solo he says "Believe that" to Cody.
Santi you should do a wwe catchphrase tier list I’d love to hear your opinion on some of wrestling best and worst catchphrases wether it’s current day or back in the day
There's no question that Roman Reigns return elevated smackdown. But so did pretty much everything else! RAW has been trouncing it IN EVERY WAY lately. This week's episode was just as well booked and entertaining as RAW. That's a lot more like it, smackdown!
This is kinda close to his gimmick that Giovanni had in nxt. He basically had a gimmick like theory but it worked. Instead of being a buff dude who takes pictures and selfies, he played a rich dude, who had all the glitz and glamour and took selfies with a selfie stick, and always came out in suits and all that.
Santi, pretty much sure Paul Heyman will be on next friday since he’s at Fanatic Fest on next Sunday. Wouldn’t it be strange for Paul to show up at Fanatic Fest if we haven’t seen him for a month?
Day 90 of asking Santi to make a “Mt Rushmores of WWE” video E.g. Mt Rushmores of technical wrestlers, sellers, comedy characters, mic workers, best heels, greatest matches, finishers, managers, entrance themes, and GOATs
Roman and Cody are not going to be facing each other anytime soon. They may have promos or segments with each other. I could even see Cody helping Roman like he did for him ar SS. Cody helping Roman can be the catalyst for KO to be angry at Cody.
This is such an excuse that us champion is not as much represented as ic because of SmackDown time. I mean gunther made the ic title in sd only you just need 2 or 3 people giving all in.
Roman beating the utter sh*t out of the Bloodline was so needed! I was real happy watching them get the sh*t kicked out of them. Oh and he did it on his own (unlike cough cough Cody Rhodes)
@@sonomni Ahhh yes good point! Good point! I think Roman would still beat the bloodline if Jacob was there but it would be more challenging for sure! Noticeably more challenging for him but I think he can still do it. If anyone can it’d be the Only Tribal Chief Roman Reigns
@@Vengeance_De_La_Hoyathey will debut hikuleo in solo vs roman 1st match for sure while Jacob fatu is out they need better in ring guy paired with tama tonga as tag partner. There is no way they can rely on tonga loa for tag titles at all. Also Jacob fatu is more suitable for solo run not tag team. He should've single match at WrestleMania against la knight for us title, Tama and hikuleo vs jey and sami, if it's roman vs rock then jimmy vs solo can happen or if they go with jimmy jey for tag team then sami vs solo happen. But if they went with Cody vs rock then roman vs solo part 2 and final will happen
I love roman but he is not enough to save the show, Smackdown has built like no stars since Wrestlemania besides Fatu and they won't give him a singles push not until maybe late next year so thats out the door. Whereas Raw has built the Wyatt sicks, American Made, Everyone in Judgement day, Bron Breaker, Drew, Liv, and that's not even mentioning the stars they already had like Jey, Sami, Punk, Seth, Gunther, Sheamus. And they're already building Bronson Reed and Odyssey Jones. Smackdown has built absolutely no one. The roster is struggling especially in the heel department on smackdown. Just look at LA knight's potential opponents or Cody's, there's no one unless it's bloodline
That's my opinion on it too. Problem is when i say it tho i get called a hater. Smackdown isn't gonna be that good until they start focusing on more than just the bloodline. Poor cody is over as heck and they're doing a terrible job at booking his run.
We need to let the feud with Roman vs Solo cook a bit more before we get that match between them.Just like Punk and DM did,let them crash because this feud has the opportunity to be one of the top feuds in wwe.That last segment was a 10/10 🔥
What if Roman Reigns had instead returned at the Royal Rumble, won, and then challenged The Rock, not for a world title, but for the title of The People's Champion.
Santi, any chance you would ever do a series on how you would/would have booked certain scenarios, would love to get your take on things like Cenas final year Ortons retirement The undertakers streak ending Summer of punk Hall of pain 😊
6:30 only chance solo has to show aura is jacob fatu and if hikuleo (i think WWE might call him *The Samoan Giant* ) joins solo then we all believe they have aura that can main event any show they are on
The fact that Roman is overshadowing Cody as a babyface just goes to show how damn good of a job the Bloodline has been doing as heels. They created most of the demand for Roman, and did fantastic at it.
Fin should have won the mitb this year and he should first help damian defeating Gunther with cheap shot of brief case on Gunther then all the judgement day JD Carlito And dom came and turn on damian led fin to cash in and won the world title this would have been dope
They need to burn the candle of the reunification of the old blood. If they do it all at once it will be "now what?", they'll need to start the feud or it will feel weird. But then it will probably feel stall and dragged out at the time they have planned the culmination. Sure, they can speed up the culmination as well but they really can't speed up what they obviously will set up after that, Roman Reigns vs The Rock at WM 41. So I am happy with this going a bit slow with not all happening at once.
Roman Reigns aura is too much against bloodline 2.0 and just imagine usos and sami join him too that too much, they have too add paul haymen on solo's side and I think rock should join 2.0 before survivor series
Sorry paul is a romans reigns guy.😅...I said the same thing romans Aura is next level the art is bigger for the new bloodline to match. He makes them looks small like crazy,😂.
Up until pretty deadlys last match with diy I never liked them but after that match it had to of been the best match of the night especially best match of the tag team number 1 contender matches
Exactly more expecially since they have the biggest star now with a lot of star power romans can make that show reclaim it spot as an A show.je will slowly take over and front the entire show like he was as champion.
Solo was never gonna have the aura of Roman reigns and people need to separate the two. WWE were pushing for over half a decade to get Roman over and when he finally got over he developed that aura over a lengthy title reign, they fumbled solo’s booking while he was under Roman and immediately threw him to the top after Mania. Meanwhile the juxtaposition of the insanely talented Jacob Fatu next to the auraless tongans and Solo who can go in the ring but he’s not given the opportunity to only goes to prove why Roman is the OTC, and that my friends is perfect booking. Solo isn’t being booked to be the next tribal chief, he’s being booked to be the stand-in, failing tribal chief for Roman to retake his throne
while we are hype with the OG bloodline return, but current status in TV seems like Roman alone is enough to takedown 2.0. 2.0 need to step up for OG bloodline to reunite
Bro not to mention that romans Aura is on the different level that he makes new bloodline looks like kids and so small . It won't be easy for them to keep up with roman 😂.even if tbey can be on suits😂.

Roman Reigns is SmackDown.....

I think they will also make the team of war games.
3:28 that’s exactly what’s happening lol, it’s kinda obvious that they’re waiting for Bad Blood so he can have his first big babyface match in his hometown.

What a joke post
That is really dumb i agree. It makes orton and owens look pretty weak overall.
Also Corbin match before smackdown went on air was amazing better than two of the on air matches
we in the live crowd couldn't even notice the change of LA Knights theme. Maybe because it was to loud in there but idk.

13:55 ah yes wm31 I was there and saw tiffy v char
Tonga Loa wearing an eye patch took away any aura and intimidation that the Bloodline 2.0 built
The Real Original Tribal Chief,ROTC ,
Tonga Loa.

Day 90 of asking Santi to rank every NXT TakeOver
iwc challenge : don't use "aura" to give your opinion (impossible)
Great video Roman Reigns 100% definitely save Last Night SmackDown
They need to burn the candle of the reunification of the old blood. If they do it all at once it will be "now what?", they'll need to start the feud or it will feel weird. But then it will probably feel stall and dragged out at the time they have planned the culmination. Sure, they can speed up the culmination as well but they really can't speed up what they obviously will set up after that, Roman Reigns vs The Rock at WM 41. So I am happy with this going a bit slow with not all happening at once.
Roman Reigns aura is too much against bloodline 2.0 and just imagine usos and sami join him too that too much, they have too add paul haymen on solo's side and I think rock should join 2.0 before survivor series
Sorry paul is a romans reigns guy.😅...I said the same thing romans Aura is next level the art is bigger for the new bloodline to match. He makes them looks small like crazy,😂.
Charlotte vs tiffany at wrestlemania 31 okay santi😭😭
Santi really... Wrestlemania 31?? 14:00
😂😂😂
DAY 4 OF ASKING SANTI TO RANK EVERY FINISHER IN THE CURRENT WWE ROSTER
Dimisheshed 6:27 😂
Ko should not turn heel i think randy should
Yo scented, didn’t you say the best match of the year was the night to main event at wrestlemania? Now you’re saying it’s styles versus Cod?
He flip flops with Cody cuz he'd do anything to defend his run as champ.
Up until pretty deadlys last match with diy I never liked them but after that match it had to of been the best match of the night especially best match of the tag team number 1 contender matches
Idk but i have a feeling that after KO loses to Cody Rhodes at BiB, he will actually turn heel and make the feud more interesting to watch.
Bro I miss Romans old theme song and personally think that he should bring it back
I think that solo sikoa is Going to win the US title going in to survivor seris Or intercontinental
Santos vs LA seems a lackluster feud
Yeah I think they should revisit LA Knight vs Carmelo Hayes, they’ve already got history and it would help elevate Hayes
@@Temperance_XVIIi think they’re keeping hayes involved so he can eventually take it off LA. the story is there but i see it happening at mania
I agree I guess wwe getting out of the way with the boring feuds for La knight
SD will inevitability be better, it just needs time
Exactly more expecially since they have the biggest star now with a lot of star power romans can make that show reclaim it spot as an A show.je will slowly take over and front the entire show like he was as champion.

Solo was never gonna have the aura of Roman reigns and people need to separate the two. WWE were pushing for over half a decade to get Roman over and when he finally got over he developed that aura over a lengthy title reign, they fumbled solo’s booking while he was under Roman and immediately threw him to the top after Mania. Meanwhile the juxtaposition of the insanely talented Jacob Fatu next to the auraless tongans and Solo who can go in the ring but he’s not given the opportunity to only goes to prove why Roman is the OTC, and that my friends is perfect booking. Solo isn’t being booked to be the next tribal chief, he’s being booked to be the stand-in, failing tribal chief for Roman to retake his throne
charlotte vs tiffany stratton at wm31 is gonna cook bro🔥😂
while we are hype with the OG bloodline return, but current status in TV seems like Roman alone is enough to takedown 2.0. 2.0 need to step up for OG bloodline to reunite
Bro not to mention that romans Aura is on the different level that he makes new bloodline looks like kids and so small . It won't be easy for them to keep up with roman 😂.even if tbey can be on suits😂.
As a musician , his new theme is a billion times better than the old stale paint by numbers theme .
Video idea: top 20 def Rebel themes
