Join us now as we look at this week's edition of SmackDown, as well as the world's new stories and rumours you need to know, including, is Triple H preparing us for the worst? Triple H confirms WWE draft? Brock Lesnar named dropped, but rock pissed off with a fan at the Hall of Fame? A new era? Are we gonna get where the problems at WrestleMania and much more? Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive lists, also to get our new videos on WrestleMania XL. As always we won't recap the matches, but just look at the good, the bad and the downright ugly. As always we start off with the goodest number one beat down on the bloodline. SmackDown ended on a high note as Baby Faces Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins and J.U. So got some payback on the bloodline after two weeks of taking a shellacking. Granted the baby faces didn't get their hands on the final boss or Roman Reigns, nor should they because that moment needs to happen at WrestleMania, but they got enough payback to enjoy some moments going into Night One's big match. 2. Judgment Day Run This Place The Judgment Day has been played by Descension and Distractions over the last few weeks, but last night's beatdown on the New Catropublic was a great way to remind the WWE Universe just how dangerous Raw's rogue faction can be. Judging from the looks of things, the WWE may have written off New Catropublic opening the door for another team to take its place at the 6-pack challenge for the Undisputed Tanks Team Championship. 3. Andrade turns on Legated El Phantasma Andrade's apparent alliance with Legated El Phantasma didn't last long. But then again, was anyone besides Santos Escobar and company astonished? It's been obvious since his return that he has a little use for Escobar and his crew, Andrade lending a hand to Rey was exciting nonetheless, even if it wasn't a surprise. The real surprise will be Rey Mysterio discovers the person responsible for Dragonlease injury, and chances are he'll discover this during his match against Santos Escobar and Dominic Mysterio. But do we think it's Carlito? Let us know in the comments down below. 4. Orton and KO tend the tables on Logan Paul Baby faces are often depicted as gullible against heel tricks, but not with Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. Both superstars have been around the block, including plenty of runs as heels where they did their opponents dirty, and enough that they weren't going to fall for Logan Paul's latest underhand attacks. Showing the Viper and the price fighter outsmarting Logan Paul was essential to keep both veterans from looking like saps after weeks are being outplayed by the Maverick. 5. Good Last Minute Hype for WrestleMania While SmackDown's WrestleMania buildup has been compared to Raw's last night's show was the right blender buildup and entertaining matches, angles and promos. It was also good to see the WWE show some restraint with his hype videos, providing plenty of real-time action instead of endless hype videos for WrestleMania. If ever the adage a show don't tell was apropos, it was last night. An LA night promo. Whether you think LA night is a poor man's version of the rock or a strong character in his own right, there's no getting around that he's entertaining. Last night's promo was typical LA night, but as fans know, his typical is light years beyond many wrestlers best. That was a good word about the bad, as Andre the Giant Battle Royal, good idea but lousy in execution from day one. Is the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal an idea whose time is passed? Frankly the Battle Royal has never been anything special. On paper the idea is great, honoring the superstar considered the king of the Battle Royals with an annual match at WrestleMania all the day before, while also giving WWE superstars a chance to capture a moment of glory. Regretably the WWE is failed in its execution of the event, not because of the match itself, but because it's treated as a throwaway match where the winner is quickly forgotten and the career receives no benefit from the win. Unbelievable, named two winners of the event besides Bronson Reed. Now there was nothing downright ugly, a well-paced Smackdown that was fun, where did fans outpityp for WrestleMania weekend? Well I can say I'm hyped right now. Are you guys? Let us know in the comments down below. Now let's move on to the news. Now first we'll accept Triple H preparing us for the worst. Is Triple H preparing WWE fans for a let down when Cody Rhodes loses to Roman Reigns? Some fans in industry observers are pointed to some recent comments from the game as a sign that the Sunday's main event may not end on a happy note unless you're a fan of the Tribal Chief. Consider these comments from Hunter during a chat with Pat McAfee. People are gonna nitpick everything, it's just the way it is. They're gonna have their moments that they love, they're gonna have their moments that they didn't like, whatever. They're all going to analyse the booking and the finishes and everything that we do. They're going to over-analyze all of it. You said it earlier about Roman and Rock, people always go like, oh we should have got that. They should have done this. It doesn't end. Are wrestling fans no different than any other consumers event detainment medium such as books, TV shows and films? Helmsley added that WWE is a never-ending story. You know what happens at 11pm on Sunday night when WrestleMania is over? The second night of WrestleMania is over? Someone hands me the sheets for more than next night and I start looking at that show because we've already been looking at it but the story continues. When you get to the end of the best chapter in the book that you've ever read, you flip the page and there's a whole new chapter or there's a whole new volume. There are only mistakes if that's the end right? But it's never the end. It's never the end. The story continues. Are wrestling is sometimes being compared to soap operas due to its serial storytelling? But do you think Triple H is bracing fans for a Cody loss or is he just swerving us? Let us know in the comments down below. Next up, WWE PLEs on Netflix? Can Netflix add the WWE's PLEs to its content when their WWE's deal with peacock ends? During an interview with Logan Paul, Triple H mentioned whether Netflix, which recently signed a 10 year deal to stream raw beginning in 2025, will want more WWE content when it becomes available. I think at the end of the day, it would seem odd to me for them to say, we want raw that's it. We're good. That doesn't seem to be how they're doing business. I think at some point down the road when SmackDown comes up, it's that something of interest to them. Down the road when the PLEs come up on peacock, that's probably something of interest to them. It makes for interesting times and a really promising future. If the WWE continues to crush it with television live events and PLEs, count on its next right steel commanding top dollar. You think that Netflix will land the rights to the WWE Network and PLEs? Let us know in the comments down below. Next up, Triple H confirms WWE Draft. Is the WWE still going to hold a superstar draft now that Vince McMahon is gone from the WWE? During his appearance on Logan Paul's impulsive show, Triple H revealed that the draft is coming and fans should expect it in a month or so. Triple H says, a new error is coming. And whilst we're on the topic of Triple H and on the Pat McAfee show, he also mentioned that the next couple of days is the launching pad of this new error, just getting started and they're just getting started at the beginning of it. It's about to explode and you ain't seen nothing yet. This place is about to be on fire. What do you think this new error should be called? Should it be the Renaissance error? Or should it be the Triple H? Even Paul Haman mentioned this in his induction speech last night at The Hall of Fame. Next up Brock Lesnar named dropped. A Paul Haman's induction speech into the 2024 Hall of Fame class is garnering praise for its many memorable moments. But like Paul Haman, it wouldn't be complete without a bit of controversy. Haman gave the WWE universe something to talk about when he named dropped his former client Brock Lesnar two different times. Some fans were surprised when the WWE didn't include Lesnar in the Paul Haman tribute video that aired. Although that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's been following the Janelle Grant lawsuit against McMahon and Laurenitis and the WWE, but Haman made sure to mention the beast including this line. They cancelled me in ECW and who did I end up with? The one in 21 and one Brock Lesnar. Paul Haman was an integral part of Brock's success in the WWE but Haman game considerable clout by being paired with such a generational talent. If you haven't checked out the speech, go and check it out now. It's truly amazing. Next up the Rock was pissed off with a fan at The Hall of Fame. A recent interaction between the Rock and a fan is making the rounds. As the Rock was exiting the ring after he gave an induction speech on ring 2024 Hall of Fame class member Leah Mayoviyah, the Rock walked up to a fan at ring side. He needed to exchange with a fan of peers to say, Cody's coming for you. Only for the Rock to reply, no, what'd you say before that? Watch your f in mouth. Some fans are speculating the fan also said something that's such as your story's over or something downright disrespectful, such as talking about the Rock's grandmother. However some fans think this is the Rock playing his final boss character and that the so called fan may have been a plant. Next up, Hall of Fame format fizzling? Does the WWE need to change his format for the Hall of Fame ceremony? Or consider this report from WrestleVotes who mentioned that Wells Fargo Center staff is actively encouraging the remaining fans here at The Hall of Fame to move their seats in order to fill up the TV side. While the Paul Heyman speech was spectacular, this iteration of the Hall of Fame needs to be reconsidered. The post-S�ac Down Start time just doesn't work. The logistics of the Hall of Fame have been a problem for years as the WWE has tried to balance how long it runs when it runs and who should attend it. Do you think it should just go back to its old format? No fans? Let us know in the comments down below. Next up, Roman Reigns surprise comments at The Hall of Fame. Was Roman Reigns working the fans during his speech honoring Paul Heyman's induction into The Hall of Fame? The remarks from the Tribal Chief already as fans talking is saying, the moment I'm not where the wise man is the moment you won't see the Tribal Chief anymore. There's plenty of speculation about the finish to Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes including Paul Heyman betraying Roman for the Rock. If this happens it could lead to a sabbatical for Roman who's already rumoured to be taking time off to Mania, although a retirement is unlikely. Next up, weather problems for WrestleMania looks like it's going to be a cold night for fans attending WrestleMania at Lincoln Financial Field. Fans I mentioned a recent weather forecast for Saturday and Sunday, but I can't see whether the temperature for WrestleMania 40 on Saturday night is expected to be a low of 38 degrees with 10 mile per hour winds, as for Sunday night it'll be a low of 37 degrees with 6 mile per hour winds. PWInsiders reporting that the WWE has already set up a heated ring as much as it did when WrestleMania 35 was held at the MetLife Stadium. And finally, is Logan Paul getting an extra special entrance? Well I suppose not least is Logan Paul getting a special entrance for his United States Championship defence. As stories coming from PWInsider which notes it's believed Paul's entrance will have a time with his prime energy drink, which is a WWE sponsor and rumour has it some sort of prime truck may be used. But they have it folks, I will look a smank down as well as a wildest news stories in Rumies You Need to Know.
