I've complimented Corey Graves, Nia Jax AND Austin Theory tonight. I feel sick to my stomach. No one can say I'm not one of the most fair posters here. When are you complementing Alex or Action Andretti? Or Tyler Bate.

Is Stacks' finisher still Seth's Curb Stomp, except he uses his knee?

Rizzo could whip any of the convicts in The Condemned. Just like how I saw Tiffy in NXT was going to be a big star. If Rizzo can work in the ring and get the PC training in. She is going to be their next big star. The Charisma is oozing and is there!

Kale Dixon looks like the lead singer of a Pearl Jam cover band. That should be his gimmick.

It's funny because if you just introduced him as "Channing Lorenzo" I'd be like "Um, who?"

Here are my Smackdown Thoughts & Facts & Stats:
Tonight's Smackdown Thoughts are dedicated to the memory of Paul "Butcher" Vachon who passed away today. I never saw him wrestle, but I have heard about him & how tough he was with Mad Dog Vachon. He was also the adopted fathter of Luna. He's the 3rd entrant of the Heavenly Royal Rumble this week after Ole Anderson & Virgil. Wow, what an opening segment. The crowd was all over Roman Reigns. I'm surprised that The Rock is now. I thought they would save him for the main event, but hopefully after this we get wrestling for the rest of the show. I just watched The Rock's promo that he did earlier & it was incredible. And even though he's a "heel" right now, his entrance still gives me goosebumps. Incredible Rock promo. He was great though it was long. I love him trying to break Solo Sikoa & Sikoa remaining stoic. I love the idea of Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins VS Rock & Reigns for Night 1 with all of the stipulations. If the match is official, then Rhodes & Reigns will become the only men to main event both Nights of WrestleMania & Reigns will then beat Hulk Hogan's record of the most Mania Main Events with 9. Also, I think if Rollins has to wrestle on Night 1, then it's only fair that Drew McIntyre has to wrestle on Night 1 too, so they would be at the same level when they wrestle on Night 2. Funny segment with LA Knight, Austin Theory, Grayson Waller, & Randy Orton to set-up Orton VS Theory later. Such disrespect to Naomi. She doesn't even get an entrance because her husband's family took up all of the time. Naomi VS Tiffany Stratton was pretty good. Stratton's moonsault is amazing. She's going to main event WrestleMania one day. FACTS: This was Naomi's 1st Smackdown since February 16 & her 1st Smackdown opener of 2024. This was Tiffany Stratton's 3rd week in a row on Smackdown, her 2nd week in a row in the Smackdown opener, & the 2nd week in a row she wrestled a former Women's Champion. Good recap of Bayley & the end of Damage CTRL. Bayley & Dakota Kai VS The Kabuki Warriors was starting to get good when Dakota turned which Stevie Wonder saw from a mile away. And then we don't even get a finish. Let Asuka pin Bayley. There's no need for a stupid No Contest. FACTS: This was Bayley's 1st Smackdown since she lost to Bianca Belair on January 12, her 1st match overall since the Royal Rumble on January 27 & her 1st 2-on-2 Tag Team Match since she & Asuka defeated Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch on Smackdown on November 24, 2023. This was Dakota Kai's 1st Smackdown match of 2024, her 1st match overall, her 1st 2-on-2 Tag Team Match & the 1st time that she teamed with Bayley since they lost to Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez on May 12, 2023. This was Asuka & Kairi Sane's 1st Smackdown since they defeated Kayden Carter & Katana Chance on January 26. This was the 1st Smackdown since February 16 to have 2 Women's Matches. This was the 7th No Contest of 2024 & the 1st since Smackdown on February 23. How could Bron Breakker make his Smackdown debut? He debuted last week. You can't debut twice. Bron Breakker VS Xyon Quinn was stupid. An amazing wrestler like Xyon Quinn who's wrestling for the 1st time in almost a year shouldn't be wasted in a squash where he loses in 4 seconds. That is horrible. This show sucks tonight. FACTS: This was Bron Breakker's 2nd week in a row on Smackdown. This was Xyon Quinn's 1st match & 1st match on the main roster since a Battle Royal on Raw on May 15, 2023, 1st 1-on-1 Match since he defeated Tavion Heights on Level Up on April 14, 2023, & 1st on the main roster since he defeated Akira Tozawa on Main Event on November 10, 2022. It his not his Smackdown debut as he lost to Sheamus on April 24, 2020 under his real name, Daniel Vidot. Nice tribute graphic for Virgil. Carlito VS Santos Escobar was a fun Street Fight. I love the brawl between The LWO & LDF & Rey Mysterio's return. I guess we're getting a multi-tag match at WrestleMania. FACTS: This was the 3rd No DQ/Street Fight of 2024, the 1st on Smackdown since the Holiday Havoc Match on December 22, 2023, & 2nd one this week after Raw. This is the 1st time since Matt Riddle VS Otis on October 31, 2022 & Liv Morgan VS Sonya Deville on November 4, 2022 that there was a No DQ/Street Fight on both Raw & Smackdown in the same week. It was the 1st 1-on-1 No DQ/Street Fight on Smackdown since Matt Riddle VS Solo Sikoa on 4/21. This was Carlito & Santos Escobar's 1st Smackdown since their last match against each other on 1/26, which was won by Escobar, so now they both won 1 match, & their 1st match overall since the Royal Rumble on January 27. This was Carlito's 4th No DQ/Street Fight in his Career (lost to Triple H (September 16, 2007 Unforgiven), lost to Hornswoggle (November 19, 2007 Raw), & he & Jonathan Coachman lost to Hornswoggle (December 3, 2007 Raw), giving him a No DQ/Street Fight Record of 1-3-0. This was Santos Escobar's 4th No Disqualification Match in his Career (Legado Del Fantasma lost to Breezango & Isaiah Scott (September 1, 2020 NXT), lost to Karrion Kross (February 24, 2021 NXT), & lost to Tony D'Angelo (August 16, 2022 NXT), giving him a No DQ/Street Fight Record of 0-4-0. This was Carlito's 1st 1-on-1 win since he defeated Primo on August 3, 2009 on Raw. Bobby Lashley VS Karrion Kross could be good next week, as well as Logan Paul. OK segment with New Catch Republic. Looking forward to seeing what Pearce & Aldis have planned for the Tag Division. Good promo by LA Knight looking for AJ Styles. Randy Orton VS Austin Theory was an excellent match and a great way to end the show. Kevin Owens was hilarious on commentary. The RKO was incredible. FACTS: This was Randy Orton's 1st Smackdown match & main event since February 9. This was Austin Theory's 1st Smackdown since he lost to Kevin Owens on February 2 & his 1st Smackdown main event of 2024. This was the 1st time he wrestled someone other than Kevin Owens or Carmelo Hayes in a 1-on-1 Match & the last time he wrestled against a 2nd Generation Wrestler since he lost to Dragon Lee on Smackdown on October 6, 2023.
Here's my Smackdown Match Rankings: 1) Randy Orton VS Austin Theory 2) Carlito VS Santos Escobar 3) Naomi VS Tiffany Stratton 4) Bayley & Dakota Kai VS The Kabuki Warriors 5) Bron Breakker VS Xyon Quinn
EXIT 11 in on the Road to WrestleMania: Smackdown in Glendale, AZ wasn't that good after The Bloodline's promo, but picked up in the last half hour. The stuff in between was awful. NEXT STOP: EXIT 12: Raw in San Antonio, TX
Ends Smackdown. I will watch Level Up tomorrow on Hulu, so look for my Facts & Stats then. Now, it's time for Blue Bloods.
