SmackDown Joins the Official Walk to WrestleMania....

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?

 

It’s rainy and cold in Southern California so, there’s plenty of reasons to stay inside. As for the Wrestling World, there are few things going on but nothing too startling. Shall we have our little chat? Let’s.

 

So, let’s swing by the Realm of AEW as they had their Revolution Fallout this past Wednesday. We had some poignant words from a more…contemplative Jon Moxley but it’s Papa Christian who stole the show. I would say MJF and MVP were a respectable second. I think they may serve well as “instigators” so to speak. I think I’ve already shared that I feel MJF should “make the call” but it’s looking like Papa Christian should “light the fire” more or less. And Chris Jericho can be on standby for that as a contingency. The Future needs help to remain Bright and these gentlemen may serve this…transition well 😉 Hopefully, they can pace this to start popping off next year.

 

Also in AEW, Mike Bailey debuted. He’s such a retro throwback. He’s a Taekwondo Black Belt and his presentation reminded me of a lighter sort of Bloodsport. I doubt he’s even 30 yet but it looks like he’s stuck in 1987, but charmingly so. Commenters advise he’s not the best on the mic but his flashy displays could work in the Wrestling World. Something about it was nice to see. Good luck to him.

 

In the Land of Free Agency, there’s a lot speculation hovering around Jeff Cobb. He’s been in the game a minute and definitely knows what he’s doing so, rumors have been circulating that he’s already signed with WWE on the downlow. He cheekily addressed these rumors by plugging his run with New Japan. What’s real is officially inconclusive which, for Wrestling makes complete sense. I hope whatever is going on, works out for him.

 

And so that brings us to tonight’s SmackDown. Much of the roster is abroad on a European Tour and they start off in Barcelona. Everything is done and dusted so we’ll be getting tape-delayed fare. We can expect Bianca Belair to continue to wade through the Jade Cargill fallout. DIY will let the Street Profits try to take the Tag Team Championships. Charlotte Flair will see what B-Fab has to offer. Randy Orton will see how hard it is to get his hands on Carmelo Hayes. And Cody Rhodes will continue to wax poetic on what comes at WrestleMania.

 

There’s a slight chance I may be detained this evening so, I may cater to the international audience more this time around but if everything stays routine, the unofficial watch party will start at 8pm PST. Feel free to drop by if it’s too cold and wet outside.

 

See You in a Bit,
