This match needs to end now because my full undivided attention is needed on Rampage right now.

The only thing that sucks about LVL Up is it isn't an hour long. Why stop at an hour. Two hours and give Elektra and Lola full creative.

It's so cool of HBK to end the show right as Aubrey and Karen Jarrett are about to go at it. THANK YOU, PAPA SHAWN!

Here are my Smackdown Thoughts: Excellent recap of The Bloodline Dissension, the greatest Storyline in WWE History. I love that Roman Reigns & Paul Heyman didn't say a word. This will be an awesome show. Cool. The Gauntlet Match is starting Smackdown. This could take up the entire first hour. I love the other teams at ringside instead of coming out of the locker room. How did Hit Row get in the match? They weren't announced to be in it. The Street Profits VS The Brawling Brutes was short but OK. The Brawling Brutes VS The O.C. was decent. The Brutes VS The LWO & VS Hit Row were complete squashes. Just release Hit Row already. The Brutes VS Pretty Deadly was the best portion of the Gauntlet Match since it got a lot of time. I wished the other matches were longer. Pretty Deadly VS Owens & Zayn will be good one. For the record, Pretty Deadly is not undefeated in Gauntlet Matches. They won one to win the Vacant NXT Tag Titles on NXT on 4/10/22, but lost another one to Gallus at New Year's Evil on 1/10/23. But if Pretty Deadly win, they will be the 1st team in history to win the Undisputed Tag Team, NXT Tag Team, & NXT UK Tag Team Championships. I don't mind having the Tag Team Championship Match on Smackdown the night before MITB. By having matches like this & also Asuka VS Flair for the Women's Title, it makes the Go-Home show more important & it gives more time for the matches at the PPV. Hilarious segment with Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn & Pretty Deadly. I just realized that the way I react to things in wrestling is exactly like KO. No wonder he's my favorite current wrestler. Interesting segment with Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns, & Solo Sikoa. Also, I love that Roman has all 3 Championships. Holy crap, why was Zelina Vega VS IYO SKY so short? They should have had a really long match. That's BS. They deserve better. I'm intrigued to see how Bianca Belair does a heel. She could be great. Good segment with Bayley & IYO SKY and Shotzi. I like SKY taking a page out of Bayley's book and accepting Shotzi's challenge for Bayley. I love the seeds continue to be planted in the break up of Damage CTRL. Just realized that Charlotte Flair will be interviewed by her father, as Grayson Waller played Ric Flair in the 1st Season of Young Rock. Normally, I don't like The Grayson Waller Effect, but Charlotte Flair & Bianca Belair going back & forth was great. I can see Belair interfering in Flair VS Asuka leading to a Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam. AJ Styles & Michin VS Karrion Kross & Scarlett was another match that should have been much longer. Interesting finish. I love AJ taking his glove off and saying he was married to Scarlett. Andt since it's official as she has wrestled twice as Michin, I now have to update my records and change Mia Yim to Michin. Another interesting segment with Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns, & Solo Sikoa. Damn, Baron Corbin took out Cameron Grimes before Grimes can say anything. Cool segment with Rey Mysterio endorsing Santos Escobar. For a minute, I thought that Escobar was going to turn on Rey. Awesome Escobar VS LA Knight in the only match that wasn't announced tonight. Hope it gets more time than other matches. Santos Ecobar VS LA Knight was a good match, but once again it was a short match. Why is everything short tonight? Where's Vince? Is he booking the show? Every week I hear it, it's gets in my head. Roman Reigns' theme is based on the theme of Succession. So when will Roman "Logan Roy" Reigns fall? And who from Jey, Jimmy, & Solo are Kendall, Rome, & Shiv? I guess Paul is Gerry. Next week's Smackdown looks good. I wanted longer matches tonight & they were sacrificed, but it was worth it. What a freaking amazing segment. Roman Reigns & The Usos were all incredible. I love every single thing of that segment. That might have been the best segment out of this whole storyline. This can only get better. But stop saying "grooming".
Here are my Smackdown Match Rankings: 1) The #1 Contender's Gauntlet Match 2) Santos Escobar VS LA Knight 3) AJ Styles & Mia Yim VS Karrion Kross & Scarlett 4) Zelina Vega VS IYO SKY
Here are LEVEL UP Thoughts: Dani Palmer & Kelani Jor was pretty good. Palmer & Jordan worked well for the first time. Lopez & Vice winning for the first time made sense since they were on NXT TV this week. Good interview with Javier Bernal. Very funny. Kelly Kincaid was good too. I love her facial reactions. Bryson Montana VS Boa was OK. Both men need more seasoning, but it was good for Boa to finally get a win. Channing Lorenzo VS Javier Bernal was an excellent match. It really showed how great of a wrestler Lorenzo is. I like that they recognized that Bernal was on Raw against Indus Sher a few weeks ago. Loved the old school WCW Great American Bash references by Blake Howard.
Here are my LEVEL UP Match Rankings: 1) Channing Lorenzo VS Javier Bernal 2) Kelani Jordan & Dani Palmer VS Elektra Lopez & Lola Vice 3) Bryson Montana VS Boa
Ends a great 2 & a half hours of wrestling with Smackdown & Level Up, though I wish Smackdown had more wrestling but when you have a segment like the closing segment, you don't need wrestling. Good night.

That reminds me, I watched one episode of Succession when I was on vacation and I have a Max sub. I should watch the whole thing. Gives me something to use it for other than watching some episodes of Cold Case for the 100th time.

What's Boa's W-L record when he's wearing the face paint vs. when he's not? Someone has to be keeping track!!! Let me get home from work and Iβll get back to you.

A Little Doo DooSince adopting the facepaint in November 2021 (by being possessed by the ancient Chinese spirit), Boa is 3-5-1 on TV. Should note that this covers a long injury layoff, with no TV matches on record between January 2022 and April 2023.

He is in possession of three physical championship belts, yes. However, one of those belts, the newest one, is meant to represent the other two, so he is still a champion of only two lineages (WWE circa 1963 and Universal circa 2016). No new lineage has been created in this process. I'll be tempted to sticky this comment at some point, because it's gonna keep being asked for some reason.

I was so impressed with the women on Level Up- itβs not that it was some great match, but 3/4 are rookies and everything was fast and clean and impactful. Sometimes itβs cool to think on the progress in the culture around the women.
I think Lola is one to keep an eye on; Iβve been really impressed with what Iβve seen. I thought this was her first win ever but looking at CageMatch she had a live event win last month π

Just finished it Wowza. Jey just put up a swerve in the Moment, moment. I was sure he was gonna kick Jimmy. At some point Heyman has to eat a foot...or two. So Solo Roman vs Jimmy Jey at MITB?
