SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, February 16th 2024: The Rock & Roman Reigns return to SmackDown

[Chris]

That last segment was not what I expected at all even though I knew they just stayed a strong union lol it was good still idk not even sure what I was expecting. I think I just wanted more Cody again on this show too lmao

 

[Chris]

1. fuck naomi's new song 2. the rock promo was absolutely trash. I just don't think the dude has it anymore.

the song fucking sucked oh my God. I thought it was fine, the only part I was like eh on was when he kept doing the crybaby voice too long lol and it's not any different than peak Rock tbh, it's the content that's lost it if anything

 

[Butters]

i was just hoping for a more serious badass rock and he came out looking like the hulk ripped through his old gear and said the same schtick he says no matter who he faces.

 

[Chris]

Less jokes more mad about the family disrespect could be better maybe. The gear ruled tho that was the best part lmao

 

[Jimmy King]

I thought the show was solid with some really good chamber qualifying matches, and I thought Rock’s promo was great.

Yeah the Versace like Shirt was what I wanted to see in Rocky in his blend of Corporate/Hollywood Rock. I always thought you could do so much more with that version of the Rock vs what we've been given in the past. I did laugh at the talk with the Rock talking about this Story and that Story completely no selling the purpose and importance of the Rumble. The Rock won the Rumble in 2000 as we know imagine if someone like Hogan came to back to WWE in 2000 just spit balling here and took his spot he would of lost it too. The Rock gave alot of Ammo for Cody and Seth to run with going forward and I always love to see that in feuds.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Rock promo was okay.

His logic was totally asinine tho lmfao.

Cody rightfully won the Rumble, chose Roman again lmao. Even going by Rock's own logic, Cody did move on after losing to Roman last year, you doofus. He faced off against Brock for a while, fought the Judgement Day too.

Things are obviously going in the direction of Cody/Rock N1 and Cody/Roman N2. In my opinion at least.

 

[Lethal]

so happy that Tiffany won and I get to see her in person. Hoping Chelsea qualifies on Raw but highly doubt it

 

[Y2Jayne]

Stratton's theme song is so generic, they really need to change it.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Rezar with the pants pulling twitch 5 times before he even tags in

 

[Y2Jayne]

What was that finisher Logan used?? Looked like the Skull Crushing Finale but reversed

 

[Y2Jayne]

They fed AoP a couple of guys from NXT, surely they could've done the same thing with Naomi. Unholy Union shouldn't be losing every week.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Dakota is going back to the unhinged gimmick it seems.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Really enjoyed the last segment, no one does it like Rocky.

 

[Dale]

Adam Pearce needs to start fighting back, guy has a 3 hour show and it still feels like the majority of new signings are ending up on SmackDown
