The Universe was so loud for Smackdown, I hope they don’t disappoint tonight. The show has aired live overnight here in Australia, I am watching the recording. I am pretty sure how the show will go but I am waiting to see if I am proven wrong. The only belt I expect to change is the Women’s tag team titles. Matches will not be easy, let’s see what they got.

11, 682 fans in attendance.
Michael Cole is having issues hearing Corey Graves who is sitting next to him. The alarms kept going off last night because it was so loud.
**MATCH 1 — Street Fight rules will have Kevin Owens/Randy Orton facing off against the Bloodline. Kevin announced first, waiting on Randy, just taking it all in. I have goosebumps as the Universe is singing each and every word along with his song. (you can see that Randy is a little overwhelmed and so appreciative of the response of the crowd) The Bloodline is being introduced, and the crowd are letting them know they are not welcome tonight. Tonga Loua has joined the Bloodline.
**MATCH 2 — WWE Women’s Championship title match with Tiffany Stratton/Naomi/Bayley. (It is too soon to put a title on Tiffany, she is good but I don’t think she is ready. I want to see her fued with Charlotte) with it being triple threat rules it’s hard to share thoughts, things happen so fast. If you blink you miss things. It was a good solid match, I might have booked a little further down the card but give credit to all the ladies. Bayley is still your WWE Women’s Champion
**MATCH 3 — Damien Priest puts the World Championship Title on the line against Jey Uso. We all know that Judgement Day will help Damien keep the title. It’s starting to look like they are imploding. Damien is getting tired of Finn/J.D. sticking their noses in where they are not wanted. (Judgement Day is falling apart, IMO I feel that Judgement Day has outlived its usage. It’s time for things to change. Have read that a turn from Heel to Babyface is coming) Damien is never going to get the true respect he deserves until he gets rid of Judgement Day. Jey made Damien work for it, it could have possibly been the match of the night until J.D. and Finn got involved
**MATCH 4 — Women’s Tag Team titles are on the line as the Kabuki Warriors are set to face Jade Cargill/Bianca Belair. How much will Dakota Kai/Iyo Sky play a part in things? Jade/Bianca have not been together long as a tag team but they work well together. Jade is starting to find her feet which is good. At times, I think starting out in tag team to get your feet wet is a better option. It was wild there going into the end of the match. Your new Women’s Tag Team Champions are Jade Cargill/Bianca Belair
**MAIN EVENT — The Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes in his first title defence against A.J. Styles. It’s not going to be an easy match by any means for either Cody or A.J. Jessica Carr is the first woman in history to be the ref for the defence of the title. Jess is giving some leeway in this match. It was A.J. who went through the announcer’s table. Neither has really gotten ahead in the match, just when one gets a little window the other shuts it down. This was an amazing match, both Cody/A.J. left it all in the ring. The crowd was beyond amazing to help both find that next level needed to keep going in a hard-fought match. Your winner and still champion is Cody Rhodes.
Thank You for joining me on a delayed view of a wonderful match in France. See you for RAW
