SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, January 24th 2025: LA Knight takes on The Bloodline’s Tama Tonga

I don’t know if USA watchers just went to commercial or not but if you guys did then they’re finally letting us actually watch the match instead of see the waiting screen.

maybe cause we got PIP

That’s probably why.

Yeah, I’m a big fan of Kevin’s fit right now. The one red elbow pad his shirt fits a lot better than he used to and I’m really liking the tape on the actual tights with the kick pads versus when he was wearing those oversized shorts.

 

[Smart Marx]

I was originally against Kevin beating Cody for the belt, but if the plan is to do Kevin and Sami one time for the WWE championship at wrestlemania, I’d be on board.

 

[Chris]

I never minded his basketball shorts but when he started tucking them into his kneepads instead he did look a lot more like a killer lol

 

[Smart Marx]

Kevin adopting some of that Randy Orton methodical style and I’m here for it.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Honestly I'm just fine with KO winning the title no matter who he fights at Mania

if it was ang time other than Mania season I'd say he really could this time but man they aren't switching now lol

I like Kevin, but I only want him to win the title if they have a good plan for him in place at wrestlemania because otherwise I’d rather Cody just be in the title match.

 

[Chris]

Funny enough I think they have more layered KO stories they could play out with him as Champ but they don't scream Mania main event as much as Cody vs literally anyone does sadly

I know I know, but I can dream...I can dream

Speaking of basketball shorts, why does Jimmy look like an NBA player in the ring now?

This except for Sami I think is the one match they could do with Kevin, which is why that situation I’d be OK with.

 

[Smart Marx]

Don’t call him big Jim. He is way too small for that Moniker.

I mean as much as I love them and would love for it to happen I just can't see them from a business standpoint running with it
