SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, November 22nd 2024: Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens engage in a tense face-to-face

[Professor Booty]

Me before any music hit “please be be fucking Brock.” I would’ve turned it off

Anyone but Brock or Rock was my thoughts

 

[Cwalker]

Heyman asked Punk to save him from the Bloodline earlier this year.

Roman wasn’t around so Punk did his advocate a favor.

 

[Shane]

Damn they went with Punk for War Games. That’s quite the swerve. I like it.

 

[Shane]

Not really sure why Roman couldn’t put a call into the Rock

 

[O-Blaze]

Not really sure why Roman couldn’t put a call into the Rock

Cause Roman probably doesn’t trust him anymore

 

[Butters]

also might have to do with the fact that he pointed at him and did the throat slit gesture you fucking goldfish.

That’s rude man, what did goldfish ever do to you

The fuck?

You stupid bitch

 

[Jimmy King]

That was a great moment tonight, Punk being the 5th man rules.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Uh yeah the long-term storytelling here seems to make it so that The Rock has been manipulating things behind the scenes against Roman and co. He didn't expect Cody and Roman to be on such good terms back at Badd Blood and that's why he showed up.

Roman has zero reason to trust The Rock when it's been nothing but thinly veiled hostility between each other for a while.

Tbh the rock never showed him any hostility. He was completely cooperative with him and went after Cody Rhodes on his behalf.

 

[Professor Booty]

Except the whole thing started cuz Rock wanted to fight Roman to see who the real tribal chief was and when that didn’t happen he even just started calling himself the final boss which would imply he is above the Tribal Chief

 

[Dale]

Holy fuck I wasn't expecting them to do Punk as the 5th member! Love that choice.

 

[Dale]

Am I thinking too much into it or was Paul returning and wearing that red shirt under his suit jacket foreshadowing of something? I know the red colour is Bloodline coded but Heyman has always worn a normal button up shirt whereas Solo often wore a red shirt under his suit jacket.

 

[Chris]

I haven't watched yet but when I saw the clip, my first thought was he was making fun of Solo by cosplaying as him lol
