It’s Halloween.
SmackDown Sucked.
Blue Jays lost.
Why do we watch this?
Greg and Brad do their best to avoid SmackDown.
Tonight, we need a win… and not in Utah.
Let’s Go Blue Jays.

Just watch the Jays Game. The only thing you really need to watch is Jade turning heel. And Brad naming this Adopt a Luchadore Week in WWE.
 
Let’s go Ice Caps, I mean Blue Jays.

With half the WWE crew still overseas, SmackDown returns to North America by landing in San Jose. 
 
Cody is in mourning or something to start the show.
The WWE Women’s Tag Championships were on the line when Alexa/Charlotte took on Zolruca, with Blake Monroe sat at ringside causing some interactions.
The US Open Challenge is back with Sami taking on Ilja Dragunov returning from a year of injury. We were repeatedly told he was hungry or starving, like WWE didn’t pay him while he was injured or something… Not like that’s ever happened.
The men’s tag division resurfaces with the Motor City Machine Guns (celebrating their 1 year in WWE) taking on Los Garza.
And our main event, was the Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre number one contenders match that didn’t happen. Jacob is in the back and appears to have had Danhausen come by, or Isacc Yankem. So we get Drew and Cody brawling and a “match”. The best part of this match was Cody losing his shoe.
 
I skipped recapping MFT in all the above because I’m sick of them. Plus a surprise at the end

The 2025 Crown Jewel Premium Live Event took us Down Under for one of the most action-packed WWE shows of the year. With five huge matches on the card — including the crowning of both the men’s and women’s Crown Jewel Champions, the fifth stop on John Cena’s farewell tour, and a brutal Australian Street Fight between Bronson Reed and Roman Reigns — this show delivered in every way.
Join Eric B from Draw Straws Raw and Brad the Dad from The SmackDaddies as they break down every match, every moment, and why this event might just be a contender for PLE of the year.
But… there’s one problem: we’ve got commercials now.

Aussie Aussie Aussie!
We come to you from a land down under, and in the future frankly, to bring you this SmackDown show that hasn’t aired yet in some places… 
 
Crown Jewel is tomorrow, and we’re here to get you ready.
We start with an opening segment of Cody and the Crowd.
Backstage Chelsea tries to recruit Stephanie Vaquer to the Secret Hervice. 
Jacob Fatu also confronts Cody Rhodes backstage. After he leaves, Drew McIntyre attacks Fatu.
Our open challenge is answered by a face? Shinsuke Nakamura, and his previous theme song. It ends in a DQ after Tama Tonga attacks Nakamura. The rest of Solo’s crew takes out Sami/Shin.
Tiffany Stratton and Stephanie Vaquer take on Giulia and Kiana James. You’ll never guess who takes the pin in this.
The crowd eats up the Wyatt Sicks and Street Profit match, and post match more samoan interactions.
And Alesiter Black and Damian Priest have a great Last Man Standing match. Overall a surprisingly great show heading into a PLE.

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.

Wrestlepoloza is over, thankfully. And we’re back with SmackDown. Let’s see how WWE can disappoint us this week shall we?
 
We start the night with Paul Heyman and Cody Rhodes. After some back and forth the Brons show up and a beatdown starts to occur. Randy Orton comes out to make the save, setting up teases of both Brons vs Cody/Randy, and an eventual Cody/Randy feud.
Our first match of the evening is a Tag Team Contenders Match to take on the Wyatt Sicks. Street Profits take on Melo Don’t Miz. This was a good match and continued to tell the story of Melo and Miz not being on the same page. Miz jumps into match and Melo doesn’t break up the pin… the break up will happen soon.
 
We then get a Women’s Tag Match with Giulia & Kiana James taking on Michin & B-Fab. The less that can be said about this the better.
 
Drew McIntyre, embracing the show in Florida comes out spewing conspiracy theories and in a walking boot. Jacob Fatu came out and beat him up.
 
Match of the Night tonight was the US Title Open Challenge with Je’von Evans taking on Sami Zayn. These open challenges have been great matches these last 4 weeks. We nervously await Shinsuke Nakamura who is seen lurking backstage before the match. Maybe he’s next?
 
Our title tonight comes from the Damion Priest/Kit Wilson interaction backstage. I enjoyed this. Brad is fearful that we’re getting more Priest/Black.
 
And this is the point to turn off the show. Because the least that can be said about the Main Event of Tiffy, Nia and Jade the better.
