Cross is instantly a bigger deal than his entire previous run. Plus he has Scarlett back, and doesn't have a gladiator helmet. I don't see anything wrong so far. Everything they did wrong the first time they course corrected right now. Entrance? got it Scarlett? got it No goofy rice strainer on his head? got it And he steps right into the main picture and gives SD some much needed new blood into its main event scene. Aint nothing wrong here. And that was the last we saw of him....

Who could've guessed that taking out the top babyface and staring down the dominant champion would make you seem like a bigger deal on your debut than losing clean in 2 minutes to a broken down jobber to the stars.

The only 2 positives I'll say about Kross is he looks better with hair & Scarlett's back

I’m a little worried Sami has been laid out in the back somewhere I really wanted him to mess up Roman’s entrance. Play Cena’s theme or something.

It’s genuinely wild to think how bad this company lost the plot. Still a ways to go, but man.

Gargano might well be back as soon as Raw in Cleveland on Monday. HHH isn't wasting time with his NXT people, is he? 2 weeks and he's already rehired Dakota and Kross and set up Ciampa and Shayna for title matches.

Here are my Smackdown Thoughts:
Fun 10 minutes of recaps of SummerSlam, hilarious Pat McAfee making fun of Happy Corbin, along with the rest of the roster, leading to Ricochet finally in action after a while (don't know how long I don't have my records in front of me.) BTW, I love the LED Boards on the barriers. I knew they had a few in the corners, but I never noticed it being all around the ringside area. Hell must have froze over this week. In the same week, we have had an awesome Von Wagner Match & now an awesome Happy Corbin Match. I love seeeing Ricochet back in action with that win. Also, the crowd is already much better than Raw. Yes, Sami Zayn is back. Fun segment with The Usos & Sami Zayn. Maybe if Sami upgrades to the new Bloodline Shirt, The Usos will allow him to talk to Roman Reigns. Get well soon Paul Heyman. That was great. Pat McAfee was talking about Liv Morgan & Ronda Rousey & the Gauntlet Match and then went crazy as soon as Shinsuke Nakamura's music hit. A Shane McMahon sighting on Smackdown in the Smackdown Moment. I guess Triple H doesn't care about what Shane did at Royal Rumble. So, if Shane is allowed to be shown, then how come he wasn't mentioned as the last time there was a Special Ref at SummerSlam & the Conspiracy Theorist Traitor was mentioned instead. Why are they going to Shinsuke Nakamura VS GUNTHER next week on Smackdown instead of saving it for Clash at The Castle where the former NXT UK Champion should be defending his title. I guess they can do the match next week on SmackDown, have Ludwig Kaiser interfere, causing a DQ & then do a re-match at Clash at The Castle. Another amazing match tonight. Shinsuke Nakamura VS Ludwig Kaiser was great. I am so happy that Kaiser is showing how great of a wrestler he is. It was hard to show that when he was part of a tag team in NXT UK & NXT. Nakamura VS GUNTHER will be off the hook. I hated that Kofi Kingston promo. His best friend, Xavier Woods got his ankle broken by The Viking Raiders and is out indefinitely, and instead of being serious, he's making jokes and acting like nothing happened. Another hysterical segment with Sami Zayn. Very good emotional promo by Liv Morgan, with her cursing. The crowd turned on her though, so I don't know he can recover. I like Sonya Deville coming out to tease her winning the Gauntlet Match. I am happy that Aliyah is being used. Wait a minute, I just realized they said that Ronda Rousey is only suspended for 1 week. She attacked an Official. She should be suspended for a month at least. All that free publicity on entertainment sites for a week. That's stupid. Wow, this Gauntlet Match is going fast, with all of the quick eliminations, but I am happy that they are focusing on Raquel Rodriguez. Of course, it wouldn't be a Gauntlet Match without someone going through the entire Gauntlet only to lose to the last entrant, but I'm happy that Raquel was given time to shine & that Shayna Baszler won to challenge Liv Morgan at Clash of The Castle. Shayna should be a focused part of the Women's Division. Really an Enhancement Match on Smackdown. Use the wrestlers in the locker room that you pay every week, not local guys that will never seen again. I rather have The Viking Raiders destroy Los Lotharios or at least bring in NXT wrestlers. Are we sure that Triple H is booking this week? On both Raw & Smackdown, we have had people wrestling twice. That's a Vince McMahon thing. Why couldn't they just have Kofi Kingston beat up Eirk and that's it. Save the match for next week, which was OK. Yes, the Women's Tag Team Championships are returning to WWE. A Tournament will begin on Raw. Maybe the rumors are true & Sasha Banks & Naomi will be back & they're going to win their belts back in a Tournament. A very good promo by Roman Reigns to close out Smackdown. The crowd loves Roman. He said Hospital. Nice confrontation with Drew McIntyre. Did I hear Drew right with what he called Roman? Yes, Karrion Kross & Lady Scarlett are back. I was not expecting this. Amazing ending. What a fun Smackdown. The matches were all good, with Ricochet VS Corbin being my favorite match of the night, with Nakamura VS Kaiser as my 2nd favorite. The closing promo was awesome too. So, Week 2 in the Triple H Era was a Thumbs Up for me. I was too tired for Level Up.

Siiiiiigh.
I knew it was gonna happen. Kross is like Triple H’s self insert character.
I’m not mad at it, but damn I’ve never seen anything all that special in the guy

Candice will be a nice addition to the women’s roster if/when she is ready to come back

It’s genuinely wild to think how bad this company lost the plot. Still a ways to go, but man. I forgot to even mention that he actually has Scarlett this time and doesn't have the stupid gladiator gear. I don't even have an opinion on Kross one way or the other yet. I've probably seen less than 10 of his matches. But what Vince did to him on the main roster almost had to be intentional sabotage.

I tuned out because the Mets made it an 8-0 deficit smaller. How did the crowd react to Kross?

Triple H is single handedly trying to bring WWE2K22 back up to date.

Karrion’s first championship feud needs to be a returning Fiend / Wyatt.
