Let's Talk About | SmackDown | London, England | Part 1 of 2

 


WWE SmackDown was LIVE from the O2 Arena, here in England, this was the penultimate televised show of the WWE European Tour, Let's Talk About it. 

The WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes started the show, the crowd loves to sing his song and chant his name don't they? he asked them what they wanted to talk about, the crowd then sang another song, this time for Randy Orton, this was a Legacy segment, no pun intended, until Drew McIntyre interrupted and he, like Randy, targeted the WWE Championship, Cody stopped Drew from talking, which led to the Scot walking away.  

Randy vs Drew was announced for later on.

The Street Profits successfully defended their WWE Tag Team Championship against England's Pretty Deadly. 

The Tag Team theme continued as Katana Chance & Kayden Carter lost to Piper Niven & Alba Fyre. Zelina Vega ran down to save Carter from the post match attack, but the numbers game was too much for her. 

LA Knight versus Braun Strowman for the United States Championship ended in a no contest because Jacob Fatu took out both competitors. 

Jimmy Uso talked to Jackie Redmond about his slap to Gunther as well as his upcoming match on Monday against The Ring General. Miz, who was with Carmelo Hayes, spoke to Jimmy who said he was going to talk to GM Nick Aldis to set up a match for tonight. No Yeet.

Jacob made his intentions clear to Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga, he wanted the United States Championship.

We heard from Naomi via a video montage, she spoke about Bianca and Jade and advised Jade to proceed with caution. Jade told Nick Aldis that she was looking for Naomi.

Before Mia Yim versus Charlotte got started, Naomi went after Mia and B-Fab, Jade chased away the Glow, there was an interesting stare down between Charlotte and Jade, after Charlotte defeated Mia Yim, Tiffany Stratton spoke to Jackie Redmond backstage, she talked about the sit down interview from last week and more. 

Drew McIntyre defeated Randy Orton, Kevin Owens distracted Orton, KO went after Orton, Orton turned the tables on his WrestleMania opponent. 

Penta's brother, Rey Fenix will make his WWE debut next week on SmackDown.

Jimmy Uso defeated The Miz. YEET! 

Damian Priest and Drew fought each other outside the arena, Priest put Drew through the windshield of a nearby car.

Contracts signings in WWE or in any company are always heated conversations, similar to Boxing/UFC press conferences, this one involving the OTC Roman Reigns (he acknowledged the crowd singing his name, that was a great moment) his former Shield brother Seth Rollins and last but not CM Punk followed the tradition. Paul Heyman said Punk is finally a WrestleMania Main Eventer, you can tell it meant a lot to Punk.

The show closed out with Punk saying Thank You to Roman, we are still yet to learn about the "Favor" I'm sure that we, the fans, are going to speculate on Social Media, Podcasts and so on, in regards to to what the favor is/could be. 

Coverage of the televised WWE European Tour continues this Monday for WWE Monday Night RAW. Until then thanks for reading & be sure to check out the content on this website.
