-We start with an aerial view of New York City and then Madison Square Garden.
-Then we go to WWE Studios, where Megan Morant welcomes us to the show and she is joined by Scott Stanford.
-To the video where The Tongans and Jacob Fatu recognize Solo Sikoa as The Tribal Chief. Solo wants Paul Heyman to do the same. Heyman tells Solo he loves him and “I recognize that you are not my Tribal Chief.” MSG EXPLODES! Just a crazy pop! Solo hits Heyman with The Samon Spike. Jacob then with the Flying Headbutt and finally Heyman gets a Triple Powerbomb through the announcer’s table. DAMN IT! Jacob gives Solo the famous Tribal Chief Lei. Just a great piece of business to end SmackDown. Roman’s return is going to be epic!
-The show closed with The Bloodline and opened that way as they fought all over MSG with Kevin Owens, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. A red hot opening to the show. Owens goes crazy with the Swanton out of the stands via a table. KO, Orton and Cody beat up some security nerds for fun. The Six Man Tag next week should be great!
-To the video of Tiffany Stratton qualifying for Money in the Bank with a win over Candice LeRae and Jade Cargill. We had Bianca, Indi and Nia all outside the ring making their presence felt. Tiffany gets the pin on Candice with the most beautiful Moonsault.
-Byron Saxton is backstage with Tiffany Stratton and asks Byron if he knows the time. It doesn’t matter because it’s Tiffy Time. She is the center of The Universe and everything goes her way. Next week she becomes Tiffy in The Bank.
-DIY and Naomi are still to come!
-Peacock commercials! DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE! July is going to be fantastic: Eminem Album, EA Sports College Football, Deadpool and Wolverine!
-Byron Saxton is backstage with DIY and Saxton notes that he tried to talk to them earlier, but Waller and Theory ruined it. Ciampa remembers their tryout at The Performance Center and being told no. Three months later, William Regal called them with an opportunity at The Dusty Classic. They’ve been best friends and bitter enemies. No one has been through what they’ve been through together, and everything is building up to this Friday in Toronto. They feel like they’ve proven so much, but they still have so much more to prove.
-I guess they win the titles, or Ciampa just turns on Gargano, because that will happen at some point.
-To the video of LA Knight qualifying for MITB by pinning Logan Paul in a match that also included Santos Escobar. Fun match with NBA tie-in as New York Knick, Brunson and Indiana Pacer, Halliburton, came face to face and sent the crowd into ecstasy. Very cool use of the NBA stars. Good decision by Knight and the crowd really wanted him to win last year. Right now I’d say he and Jey Uso are the two favorites.
-Naomi is next!
-Peacock commercials!
-WrestleMania XL: Behind The Curtain airs Wednesday at 7:00 PM ET!
-To the video where Naomi qualifies for Money in The Bank with a win over Blair Davenport and Indi Hartwell. Naomi was the easy choice there as she can be the experienced presence in the match that Nattie has been in the past. Jade Cargill gets involved to pay Indi back earlier in the night.
-Byron Saxton is backstage with Naomi and wants to know if there is anyone in the MITB Ladder Match she wants to get their hands on. She’s going to turn Toronto into Glow-Ronto! Yes!
-Back to where we started this show: Paul Heyman gets perhaps the biggest pop of his career when he tackles Solo. He knew he was screwed the moment he said it and The Bloodline with the epic beatdown. It was necessary because Heyman is loyal to Roman and as long as he was with this Bloodline, they would have someone on their side that the fans would cheer for. Now we can boo all four of them. Heyman is carried away on a stretcher and sent away in an ambulance. So, we had Punk and Heyman both carried out the last two weeks.
-Megan is packing up and we’re leaving this week. Thanks for reading!
