SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, September 6th 2024: Cody Rhodes responds to Solo Sikoa

[Tranquilo Jay]

Loved the lil hint of Cody " Jacob Set Up"

Solo's face was priceless. WWE just planted lil seeds of doubt in our minds. Another good segment.

 

[Tranquilo Jay]

Tiffany and Bayley just put on a really good match. Had such a nice flow too it and both ladies impressed me loads. I've seen a lot of Bayley's matches but this is the first time I've seen Tiffany and she impressed the hell out of me.

 

[Tranquilo Jay]

Take it Vinci has either been in trouble backstage or he's getting no where fast . All that hype for what? Five secs match to Apollo Crews. Chelsea Green is so funny she makes the best out of every opportunity she's offered . Good on her.

 

[Tranquilo Jay]

Pretty decent show. No complaints.

 

[Dale]

I'd be very shocked if they decided to bring a talent who had heat back onto TV after 4 months away just have to him lose. Looks like they're gonna go more the Chelsea Green approach with him. Or at least they did with this one week I should add.

Yeah I'm sure that's the intent too, I just don't think it'll work lol the character was always gonna be more comedy oriented but that doesn't mean loser. It did work with Chelsea but I don't think it's the same here

 

[Dale]

Chelsea was the best example I could think of, though I don't expect them to keep going with the losing stuff but who knows. I just think they wanted something that was a different pace to the usual beating lowercarders that nobody cares about for a month shtick. Gives them an immediate story to work with aswell.

 

[Lethal]

he fucked around and found out. easy path to get his heat back by not show boating in entrance and griping with that ref.

 

[Y2Jayne]

The fuck did they do with Vinci???

 

[Y2Jayne]

Guess he is going to get his revenge next week, but damn.

Also, the whole presentation was 10 times better in his last NXT run, attire, music, entrance...
I really hope they don't fumble him a second time. He should not have left Imperium.

 

[Sabretooth]

Lmao what the fuck is Vinci losing in 5 seconds. Is Vince back in charge
