Here are my Smackdown Thoughts & Facts & Stats:
As I work on my WrestleMania Preview, I will be sharing facts about the matches, so enjoy them throughout my facts. Smackdown is starting with The Rock. Good, as much as I want wrestling to start the show, I still didn't finish organizing my facts, so The Rock can talk for a half hour, while I get everything done for the matches later. OK segment with the Rock. I liked his old songs better than his new stuff. His promo on Cody Rhodes was alright. It was a good waste of 20 minutes. Now, I have all of my facts done for the rest of Smackdown. ***WM FACT: The Rock now joins The Undertaker as the only wrestlers to main event a WrestleMania in 4 different decades. It will be the only match to take place between 4 wrestlers that all have the same initial (R) in their last name. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns are the only wrestlers in WrestleMania History to team up in a 6-Man Tag, wrestle each other in a Triple Threat, & then wrestle each other in a 2-on-2 Tag Match.*** The LWO VS Legado Del Fantasma was awesome. It would have been cool if The LWO won & then they could have won the NXT Tag Team Contender's Tournament to be the 1st to wrestle at Stand & Deliver & WrestleMania in the same weekend. So Smackdown is doing more of a tournament for their teams as they said LDF advanced but didn't say they're going to be in the match at WM. Interesting. FACTS: This was Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde's 1st Smackdown since they lost a Fatal 4-Way to New Catch Republic on February 2 & their 1st 2-on-2 Match on Smackdown since they lost to Legado Del Fantasma on January 12, & their 1st Smackdown opener since January 19. They are the 1st wrestlers since themselves on January 30 & February 2 to wrestle on NXT & Smackdown in the same week. This was Angel's 2nd week in a row on Smackdown, Berto's 1st Smackdown since they lost the Fatal 4-Way to New Catch Republic on February 2,their 1st 2-on-2 Match on Smackdown since they defeated The LWO on January 12, & 1st Smackdown opener since January 19. This was the 2nd 2-on-2 Match between them after Smackdown on 1/12, which was also won by Legado Del Fantasma. ***WM FACT: The 6-Way Ladder Match featuring 12 wrestlers will be the most participants in a Ladder Match since 10 in the MITB Match at WrestleMania 26.*** Cool promo by LA Knight. I liked that it was on the stage & not in the ring. Nice attack by Styles. ***WM FACT: Knight VS Styles will be the 1st ever match at WrestleMania to take place between 2 wrestlers with letters as their 1st name.*** OK segment with Nick Aldis & Logan Paul. I'm interested in seeing what happens next. Very good promo by Jimmy Uso. I love Paul Heyman's reaction. ***WM FACT: We have a tradition now of Brother VS Brother every 15 years at WrestleMania. (Bret VS Owen Hart (1994, WM 10), Matt VS Jeff Hardy (2009, WM 25).*** Randy Orton VS Grayson Waller was a great match. Fun post-match stuff with Orton, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, & Kevin Owens. A Triple Threat with Paul, Orton, & Owens could be good. It will be Paul's 1st Triple Threat in his Career. I'll have more facts next week. FACTS: This was Randy Orton's 3rd week in a row on Smackdown & the 1st time in his Career he wrestled an Australian. This was Grayson Waller's 2nd week in a row on Smackdown, his 1st 1-on-1 Match on Smackdown since he lost to Carmelo Hayes on December 15, 2023 & his 2nd match in a row against a 2nd Generation Wrestler after he lost to Cody Rhodes on Raw on February 26. They're really selling WWE 2K24 with all of the graphics. I heard there are tons of bugs & glitches. I might save my money & not get it even though I said I wanted to get it. Decent promo by Dakota Kai ahead of her match with Bayley later. Dragon Lee VS Santos Escobar was a great match but way too short. Good post-match activities with The LWO, LDF, Carlito, & Rey Mysterio. Nice, Mysterio VS Escobar next week. They're not waiting for WrestleMania, but I have a feeling that the match won't take place or end in a No Contest leading to a match at Mania. FACTS: This was Dragon Lee's 2nd week in a row on Smackdown. This was Santos Escobar's 1st Smackdown since March 1. This was the 3rd 1-on-1 Match between them after Survivor Series on November 25, 2023 & Smackdown on December 8, 2023, which were also won by Escobar. New Catch Republic VS Pretty Deadly was an excellent match. Despite not getting entrances, the match was given a lot of time. I love the idea of this mini-tournament on Smackdown. FACTS: This was Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne's 1st Smackdown since February 23. This was Elton Prince & Kit Wilson's 1st Smackdown they lost a Fatal 4-Way to Bate & Dunne on February 2 & their 1st 2-on-2 Match since they lost to Bate & Dunne on January 19. This was the 3rd 2-on-2 Match between them after Smackdown on January 5 & 19, which were also won by Bate & Dunne. Great week ahead of WWE with Raw (Becky Lynch VS Nia Jax in a Last Woman Standing Match & Sami Zayn & GUNTHER sign their WrestleMania Contract) & next week's Smackdown (Rey Mysterio VS Santos Escobar, the Tag Team Tournament, & Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns Face-to-Face.) I like the idea of Street Profits VS AOP continuing their rivalry but with more stakes, & The OC VS Theory & Waller, so OC can wrestle at both Stand & Deliver & WrestleMania if they win the respective tournament. Bayley VS Dakota Kai was OK. I figured it would end in a DQ. I like @thetrinity_Fatu making the save for Bayley. I can see Naomi & Bianca Belair challenging The Kabuki Warriors at WrestleMania. FACTS: This was Bayley's 1st Smackdown since March 1, her 1st 1-on-1 Match on Smackdown & overall since she lost to Bianca Belair on January 12, & 1st Smackdown main event of 2024. This was the 1st time in her Career that Bayley wrestled someone for New Zealand. This was Dakota Kai's 1st Smackdown since March 1, her 1st 1-on-1 Match since she lost to Bianca Belair on Raw on April 17, 2023, 1st on Smackdown since she lost to Raquel Rodriguez on September 23, 2022, & 1st Smackdown main event of 2024. This was the 10th Disqualification of 2024, the 2nd one this week after NXT, & 2nd week in a row on Smackdown. This was Bayley's 1st 1-on-1 win since she defeated Zelina Vega on 10/13/23.***WM FACT: Bayley VS IYO SKY will be the 3rd time that partners in a 6-Person Tag Team Match wrestled each other at the following WrestleMania after The British Bulldog, Owen Hart & Vader (WM 12 & 13), & Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns (WM 30 & 31), but 1st women to do it in WrestleMania History & the 1st to wrestle each other in a 1-on-1 Match.
Here are my Smackdown Match Rankings: 1) New Catch Republic VS Pretty Deadly 2) The LWO VS Legado Del Fantasma 3) Randy Orton VS Grayson Waller 4) Dragon Lee VS Santos Escobar 5) Bayley VS Dakota Kai
EXIT 15 on the Road to WrestleMania: Smackdown in Memphis, TN was great. I liked everything. There was a lot of great set-up for Mania. The Women were given time & The Rock only wasted 20 minutes of the show. NEXT STOP: EXIT 16: RAW in Raleigh, NC
I won't be watching Level Up tonight since Blue Bloods is back, so I will give my thoughts & Facts & Stats after I watch it, so that ends Smackdown Thoughts, Facts, & Stats, for W/L Records, Facts, & Stats, visit darrenswinloss.wordpress.com, which will be updated this weekend.

Wren's theme is slapping. All My Ladies energy with this one. Still not over Shawn loving that theme. I hope he plays it in the car on the way to work.

That apron elbow drop Sol did should now be called the "Flying Colors", that would be a good wrestling move name

What I believe the Saxapedia entry for Sol Ruca starts with:
"Did you know that Sol Ruca wasn't actually named after the sun? Her parents happened to be big MSTies and actually named her after the Satellite of Love!"

I cannot believe Wren lost. It is alright, her 5 year undefeated streak starts next week. Same with Javi.

I hope they still have a LVL Up at the same time as the HOF. It's would be great to have a LVL Up & HOF thread going at the same time.

I'll laugh if Naomi and Bianca come out for the save and Bianca gives Bayley a KOD because she still hates her. .....did someone leak the Dark Match segment to you......
