As we prepare for a trip to Australia, SmackDown tonight emanates from the city closest to Australia we could find, Cincinnati, OH.   We start off with an opening segment of Cody and he’s immediately cut off by Paul Heyman and the Brons. Randy Orton appears “Out of Nowhere” (see what I did there) to even the odds. Heymen is sowing seeds of discontent between Orton and Rhodes.   Backstage, we find out that Melo don’t Miz anymore.   As Melo tries to answer the US Open Challenge (again), Miz comes out and delivers a skull crushing finale. This allowed Aleister Black to answer the challenge. With Aleister having the upper hand, Damian Priest appears causing a distraction finish and a post match power-bomb through an announce table.   We introduce (again) new NXT members with Sol Ruca and Zaria being propositioned to join the Secret Hervice. This leads to a match between Ruca/Zaria and Chelesa/Fire.   Backstage, we get a cringeworthy Alexa/Charlotte interaction, with Charlotte trying to get Alexa to Woooo. Thankfully Cathy Kelly is in for the save.   Steph Vaquer and Tiffany sign their contract for Crown Jewel. After that’s complete, Kiana James and Guilia come out and setup a match for next Friday (morning) in Australia.   Ray Fenix has a new Lucha friend, with Je’von Evans. They take on Los Garza in a fun match.   Backstage, Damian Priest and Kit Wilson interact, leading to Kit Wilson crashing into clanging pipes. And Priest challenging Black to a Last Man Standing Match for next Friday morning.   In our main event, the Brons took on Cody/Randy. In the end, we get another distraction finish and Seth interference. Seth after the match wants to try to take out Cody with the stop. He’s cautioned against it by Paul Heyman. He does it anyway, and gets hit with a Cross-Rhodes for his trouble. This inevitably means that Seth will win next Saturday morning.   Check us out at SmackDaddies.ca  🎥 youtube.com/Smack-Daddies  🐦 x.com/smackdaddiesca  📸 instagram.com/smackdaddiesca  🛍️ Grab the merch: SmackDaddies on Etsy https://youtube.com/shorts/kYIME5RmIKM?feature=share
