July. 19, 2024 : WWE Smackdown 7/19/24 Full Show Highlights
Transcript
00:00What a pod baby, what a pod, just two of us, what a pod baby, we got the Smackdown highlights
00:05rolling right now for you in the background, we got Cody Rhodes right now, he started off
00:11the night and was attacked by Grayson Waller and Austin Theory, what did y'all think of
00:15that segment?
00:16I thought it was pretty good man, what do you think Johnny?
00:19It wasn't bad, but I mean, to have them attack a man, you know man, it's better to know that
00:24he'll hate it.
00:25I agree.
00:26Cody Rhodes definitely got the better of the two at the end, I don't know what that does
00:32for Waller or Theory to be honest.
00:34Well, they're going to break them up, they're going to break them up eventually, so.
00:38Yeah, that looks like it's headed to what, a feud at Baton Rouge?
00:41Maybe, and they're saying that the babyface is going to be Austin Theory, I don't know
00:46about all that, I mean both of them dudes are heels all the way.
00:51Yeah, for sure, they are.
00:52They were a good tag team, I didn't even mind them as a tag team, I just feel like that
00:55tag team division was just so weak that they didn't really, you know, put up with it.
01:03It was definitely a quick little spot, they're kind of like on autopilot I feel right now
01:07against SummerSlam, so.
01:11And we'll roll right on over to the next match that we have here, it's Andrade versus Carmelo
01:15Hayes, I thought it was a solid match, both in-ring performances were pretty solid.
01:20Solid match, man, Andrade, man, he needs some sort of strap, that boy needs a strap,
01:24man, give him a title.
01:25I agree.
01:26You know, man.
01:27Don't be intimidated, Carmelo Hayes, Carmelo Hayes is, yo, in a couple years, man, that
01:32boy is going to be made a man of mania.
01:35Honestly, Carmelo Hayes is definitely a future prospect, no doubt.
01:38Yeah, I mean both of them, both of them agree.
01:42He actually takes care of his fans, I was outside the arena.
01:47You know, Michael's taught that dude everything in NXT.
01:49Yeah, no, he's good in and out of the ring, he signed autographs for like little kids
01:54and stuff, like I love to see that stuff.
01:57Shout out to Carmelo Hayes and Andrade for a good match.
02:01So then it rolled over, man, what was the next thing they had on here going on?
02:07Was it Chelsea Green and, um, was it Bianca?
02:11Bianca Belair.
02:12Yeah, yeah, that was a quick match.
02:15Really short and sweet.
02:17Chelsea Green needs to stop losing.
02:20They need to get the most underrated women's wrestler a belt, because Chelsea Green is
02:27the fit, yo, and that's it.
02:29She needs to do something, they need to pull the trigger on her.
02:31She's money.
02:32That money's been making.
02:33You didn't realize that that girl was money, alright, she's from Canada, but yo, everybody
02:37was going crazy when she came out.
02:39Absolutely.
02:41Hell yeah, man.
02:42Hell yeah.
02:44Moving on to the next match, what did we have going on after that?
02:46Was it Tippy Time?
02:47I think we had a little segment with Nia Jax, too.
02:51Is that what happened?
02:52Yeah, we didn't...
02:54Yeah, let's go to Tippy Time, let's go to Tippy Time, bro.
02:59So what do you think about Tippy Time?
03:01She wrestled Mia Yim.
03:03Uh, she's gonna get the belt ass some time.
03:06Yeah, I think so.
03:07I think she's gonna cash in underrated.
03:08Yeah.
03:09I think Nia Jax is gonna be her heater.
03:11I think Nia Jax is gonna be the one that beats Bayley down, and this one's gonna come in
03:14and...
03:15And let's speak on Mia Yim for a minute, because I think she is, like, underutilized, and she's
03:21always used to put over other talent.
03:23I like her, I think she's good in the ring, she's got a good look.
03:26I think they need to do more with the women's division as a whole.
03:29It's very limited with opportunities, like we said, Chelsea Green earlier.
03:33Mia Yim's another one I like.
03:35Yeah, it is a stupid look.
03:37I agree, it is limited.
03:38Opportunities are limited in the women's division.
03:41What are your thoughts on Nia Jax?
03:42Well, yeah, because she only has one belt on each spot, and the tag belts really don't
03:45matter.
03:46Don't forget, then you got Jade, then you got Bianca.
03:48Yeah!
03:49Two!
03:51Jade, I feel like they need to do more with, too.
03:54She wasn't even on Smackdown tonight, from what I recall.
03:57Oh, we're losing you a little bit here.
03:59Yeah, breaking up a little bit.
04:01So, I don't even think she's on Smackdown tonight, Jade Cargill, I'm speaking ahead.
04:06Oh, no, she just came over with Bianca.
04:08Yeah.
04:10I feel like they rushed that tag team.
04:12Well, they should have never took the belts off, to be honest.
04:15No, for sure.
04:16That was a false.
04:17That was a fake.
04:19Then what do we have?
04:20The L.A. Knight segment and Logan Paul?
04:22Yep.
04:23Yeah, love that.
04:24I like that.
04:25They built that up tonight.
04:27I don't mind it.
04:28I just feel like, I mean, L.A. Knight has to win.
04:33Yeah, no, for sure.
04:35He needs to win at this.
04:36You can't carry over the bad blood.
04:38It needs to end.
04:40At SummerSlam, with him walking out with his belts, for sure.
04:44Yeah, but...
04:45Yeah, wouldn't last year at SummerSlam, he win the Battle Royale or whatever?
04:49Yeah, the SummerSlam Battle Royale, I think.
04:52I mean, yeah, this is the year in the making.
04:54This is the year.
04:55He needs to dethrone Logan.
04:57Derek looks like he's got something to say about that.
04:59What are you thinking, Derek?
05:00Well, I mean, I'm a big Logan guy, man.
05:02I'm a big Logan guy, man.
05:03You know what I'm saying?
05:04And I've always liked Logan.
05:06I love how the fans hate him.
05:07I think it's great for wrestling.
05:08What's even better than Logan just leaving with a win, man, you know?
05:12I don't know.
05:14No, he's good in the ring.
05:16He brings other eyes on the product.
05:18But his run with the U.S. title has been stale.
05:21Absolutely stale.
05:22Yeah, it has.
05:24Absolutely stale.
05:26I have not been a fan of his run.
05:27He didn't defend his title.
05:29And he talks about how he doesn't defend his title.
05:32You know what the problem is?
05:34Somebody like him don't need the belt.
05:36No, he doesn't.
05:38You're right, Johnny.
05:39He does not.
05:40The fans already hate him.
05:41He doesn't need the belt.
05:42The fans already hate him.
05:43He gets the buzz.
05:44You know, he's everything, you know?
05:46He's good.
05:48He definitely does not need the belt at all.
05:51No, no.
05:52But it's always great to see the crowd hate him even more when he gets a double, you know?
05:56Wasn't he needed more?
05:58Wasn't he needed more?
05:59He needed the money in the bank for a piece instead of the belt.
06:02He could have had that for a piece.
06:04Yeah, that would have been awesome, honestly.
06:06He had the briefcase on the podcast all the time.
06:10Didn't have to wrestle.
06:11Faker cashed in.
06:13He didn't even need the belt.
06:15I feel like wrestling, WWE missed the mark with that money in the bank.
06:21You know, the quick cashing was fun and all.
06:24But now you miss the whole storyline throughout the whole, you know.
06:27You always want to see that later on.
06:29The briefcase is gone.
06:31That's it.
06:32It's gone, man.
06:33It's gone.
06:35Coming up, we got Cody Rhodes.
06:38And his surprise partner, which turned out to be none other than Kevin Owens.
06:42And they took on Waller and Theory.
06:45Thoughts on the match?
06:47Hey, shoutouts to Kevin Owens, man.
06:49His mom's in the hospital.
06:50He comes out when he fights a hell of a match.
06:52The crowd gave him a pop, man.
06:54The crowd loved him.
06:56I hope they don't let him go.
06:58I hope they don't let him go.
07:00I know his contract's coming up soon or something, but I hope they don't let Kevin Owens go.
07:02Kevin Owens is definitely one of the best they have on the roster.
07:06Underutilized again.
07:08But, you know, it's like, they have so many people.
07:11They do.
07:13Yo, they gave that to the main event against Stone Cold.
07:16No matter what he does, from here on out, it's like, yo.
07:20He should be a champion again, I think.
07:23And I know he doesn't need the belt, but it would be cool to see him get a real title run.
07:27You know, one time he had the Universal title.
07:30It was like, screwy with him and Triple H and all that.
07:34You know, I'd love to see a good single, you know, heel title run.
07:38I want to see a heel again.
07:40Fight Owens funny.
07:42Yeah, man.
07:44Hale Owens was the man, bro.
07:46Hale Owens.
07:48Some of the best Owens feuds was him and Sami Zayn, man.
07:52Those matches with him and Zayn were some of the best matches I ever watched, man.
07:55Would you be surprised if we get Kevin Owens and John Cena one last time?
08:00No, for sure.
08:02I think it was a great match tonight.
08:04Obviously, we saw after the match, as we can see here in the highlights.
08:07We got the bloodline.
08:09The bloodline made their appearance once again.
08:12And we're all hoping for the return of Kimmy Uso.
08:15Once again, I was fooled for the second week in a row.
08:18He's not here.
08:20And the bloodline dominated, as you can see in the footage.
08:23They completely, completely took out Kevin Owens.
08:27Completely destroyed him.
08:29He's going to be written off TV until what, SummerSlam?
08:32Possibly.
08:34Probably.
08:36Will we get the Jacob Batu-Kevin Owens match at SummerSlam?
08:39That's what I'm really hoping for.
08:42That would be a great match.
08:44I would love to watch that.
08:46The bloodline took them both out.
08:48Let us know.
08:50What do you guys think is going to happen at SummerSlam?
08:53Will Kevin Owens team up with Orton to face Jacob Batu and Tama Tonga?
08:57Will we see that?
08:59And will a new bloodline member show up at SummerSlam?
09:02Yeah, will a new bloodline member show up?
09:04We don't have enough information on what's going on.
09:07Orton's out.
09:09He doesn't have a match for SummerSlam, from what we know.
09:11A lot of people are out.
09:13Yeah, so leave it up to us.
09:15Let us know what you think.
09:17Yeah, give us your predictions.
09:19Drop the predictions in the comments.
