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

[Smart Marx]

Well, that was a great time. Thanks for joining me.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Stream must be behind.

oh I know. I just like to mess with him, he don't seem to mind

 

[Lethal]

Banned during matches. I wonder if they would DQ him?

 

[Smart Marx]

Banned during matches. I wonder if they would DQ him?

I know that’s the K fab explanation but I think at this point if they’re willing to let him do it at all, which is a perfectly safe move. I don’t think anybody’s been hurt specifically with the package version. Just let him use it again.

well rn it's just for the current gimmick, I don't think it's banned at all officially for safety, just storyline

 

[Chris]

Penta be doing destroyers every match too but that was already unbanned funny enough lol everyone been doing them

 

[Smart Marx]

Yeah, that’s what I thought. I didn’t think Hunter cared about banning the pilot driver anymore.

All right, let them finish out the story with Cody but then hopefully after wrestlemania season they just let Kevin use the package driver because it’s an awesome finish and honestly Oba on NXT does a much better pop up bomb.

Yeah, penta has been crazy crazy Wildin on them. That penta driver alone with the flip I never would’ve thought I’d see in the WWE.

 

[Jimmy King]

I love KO wearing merchandise related to his current opps. It’s such a good touch to his character.

I also loved him smack talking with Matthew McConaughey too.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Charlotte left with a knee injury and came back with a new face.

 

[Cwalker]

Yeah my Queen looks a lot more like Celine Dion than Charlotte Flair

 

[Smart Marx]

It’s not the first time.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Yeah Ashley’s face is a distant memory

 

[Cwalker]

Charlotte Dion Flair
