A Heritage Cup match when both are eliminated is so sad. Its like a Week 18 game between the Seahawks & Falcons.

LA Knight missed Smackdown because of COVID according to SRS Explains why Solo and Jimmmy were trying to milk the crowd during the beatdown as much as they did. That's how set the plan was on having Knight be the hero.

This is the most noise I've ever heard during a Dempsey match. That's how good Axiom is.

LA Knight missed Smackdown because of COVID according to SRS Explains why Solo and Jimmmy were trying to milk the crowd during the beatdown as much as they did. That's how set the plan was on having Knight be the hero. Now I wonder what the backup plan would be if LA Knight is still out because of Covid. Do they perhaps pull the trigger on Cody and Cena teaming up?

Here are my Smackdown Thoughts:
Awesome opening segment with John Cena, AJ Styles, Solo Sikoa, & Jimmy Uso. I would love a Tag Match between them. Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar VS The Street Profits was a fun match. I'm glad that it got lot of time. Bobby Lashley's mad. FACT: This was the 1st time since they lost to The Judgment Day on 4/7 & 4/21 that Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar wrestled 2 Tag Team Matches in a row on Smackdown. It was awesome to see The Rock. Damn, Austin Theory is angry. Cool, video package on Isla Dawn & Alba Fyre. It's good to see them back on TV. Good segment with The Brawling Brutes & A-Town Down Under to set-up a match later. Wow, Bobby Lashley is done with The Street Profits already because they lost 1 match. Great video package on Asuka VS IYO SKY. Asuka VS IYO SKY lived up to the hype of the dream match. They gave it 3 segments & it wasn't a 1 segment match, but the finish was a little bad because Charlotte Flair had to stick her Botox'd nose in the match. #WomensTitle #Smackdown #DBWLFACT: This is the 1st Women's Championship Match between 2 Japanese Wrestlers in WWE History. If Asuka wins, she will be the 3rd the wrestler to be a 4-time Women's Champion after Sasha Banks & Charlotte Flair. This was IYO SKY's 2nd Women's Championship Defense, so if she loses, she will be the 1st since Charlotte Flair who lost to Nikki ASH on Raw on 7/19/21 to lose in her 2nd Defense. As of Smackdown, IYO SKY's Women's Championship Reign has lasted 48 Days, so if she would have lost, she would be the 1st to lose in 48 Days, which is the 9th Shortest Reign of All-Time. Damn it, John Cena & AJ Styles VS Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Uso isn't tonight on Smackdown. I already did all of my research for the match. Now, I have to wait for Fastlane. Damn you Roman Reigns & Paul Heyman. Elimination Chamber in Australia will be awesome, but do not expect live thoughts & W/L Records, Facts, & Stats, as I will not be up at 6 AM ET to watch it. I will watch it later that day on Demand. Hilarious segment with Pretty Deadly. This is the 1st time since 7/7 that Smackdown had only 3 Matches & 1st Smackdown since 3/31 to have no 1-on-1 Men's Singles Matches. The Brawling Brutes VS A-Town Down Under was a fun match. And people wanted Ridge fired for injuring Big E last year. FACT: Butch was the 6th time that someone wrestled on NXT & Smackdown in the same week & the 1st time since Butch on 9/5 & 9/8. This was Theory & Waller's 1st Tag Team Match since they defeated The LWO on 9/1. This was the 1st match ever between 2 British wrestlers & an American & an Australian in Smackdown History. Good Smackdown next week with Rey Mysterio VS Santos Escobar for the US Title, Charlotte Flair VS Bayley (for the 18th time on TV & PPV in WWE & NXT), & the Grayson Waller Effect with Bobby Lashley. Since I already did it the research, why waste it. John Cena & AJ Styles VS Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Uso at Fastlane will be John Cena's 1st match since he lost to Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39 on 4/1/23 & the 1st time he wrestled 2 matches in the same calendar year since 2019. This will be the 1st time Cena & Styles will team up since they defeated Kevin Owens & Rusev on Smackdown on 7/11/17. This will be Jimmy Uso's 1st Tag Team Match since he & Jey defeated Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa at Money In The Bank on 7/1 & the 1st time he teamed with someone other than Jey since he & Sikoa defeated The Street Profits on Raw on 2/27. Well, forget all of that as it looks like the match won't happen. Solo Sikoa attacking AJ Styles like that reminded me of his Uncle Umaga attacking Jeff Hardy. Fun closing angle with Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Usos destroying John Cena. But the screen kept going black for some reason. The match is official, but who will be Cena's Partner at Fastlane? I hope we don't have to wait until Fastlane itself to find out.
Here are my Smackdown Match Rankings: 1) Asuka VS IYO SKY 2) The Brawling Brutes VS A-Town Down Under 3) The LWO VS The Street Profits
Here are my Level Up Thoughts:
Ivy Nile VS Izzi Dame was very good. Dame was very impressive. FACT: This was Ivy Nile's 1st Level Up since she defeated Karmen Petrovic on 7/28 & was Izzi Dame's 1st Level Up since she lost to Fallon Henley on 8/11. Good promo by Luca Crusifino. He's very funny. Kelly Kincaid was great as usual. Ikemen Jiro VS Luca Crusifino was great when the jacket wasn't part of the match. What a way for Jiro to end his WWE Career. FACT: This was Ikemen Jiro's 1st Level Up since he lost to Tavion Heights on 9/8 & final match in WWE & was Luca Crusifino's 1st Level Up since he lost to Duke Hudson on 7/28 Axiom VS Charlie Dempsey was another incredible match to close out the Global Heritage Invitational, even though it didn't matter. FACT: This was Axiom's 1st Level Up since he defeated Tavion Heights on 7/14 & was Charlie Dempsey's 2nd week in a row on Level Up.
Here are my Level Up Match Rankings 1) Axiom VS Charlie Dempsey 2) Ikemen Jiro VS Luca Crusifino 3) Ivy Nile VS Izzi Dame
Overall, a fun Smackdown. Though there were only 3 matches, they all were great with a lot of time given. The promos were great & the closing angle put some heat on The Bloodline. Level Up was great as usual.

Bayley:"Not Charlotte Flair, 20,000 Champion, okay?!" *Dakota groans* That was the perfect reaction.
