    I think LA vs Reigns is just a SA match and that's it.

    Survivor Series could be LA, Cena, Cody, Jey,Sami and KO vs Jimmy,Solo,Priest,Finn,Dom,JD?

    Then RTWM is when Cody vs Reigns kicks off.

      They sure are introducing Jade Cargill and giving her some small screentime to let us know that she is with the company. Treating her like she is a big thing. This is cool to see. It at least makes us aware of them. Instead of Tony Khan giving these random ROH wrestlers or wrestlers from other companies to come and have a match and we have no clue who they are and why we should care. Not only that, Jade gets to keep her name while Brian Pillman Jr had to change his name. Lol. Last night's Smackdown was a good show. You can feel the difference compared to RAW. Roman being back. Having a staredown with Cody. I can see why people continue to complain about how Seth Rollins as Champ doesn't feel like a big thing compared to Roman's. And I'm going to miss Cena when he goes away to Hollywood again.

        Something I've been thinking about.

        I doubt Aldis is done in the ring. He competed just a few months ago.

        What if all this is just a plan to bring Regal back once he's allowed back on TV in under 3 months?

        You have the SD vs Raw feud with Aldis and Pearce as the GMs, so maybe by December Aldis eventually steps down as GM in order to be a superstar again which leaves an opening on SD?

        Kick off the new year for SD with a new GM.

            I love the Easter eggs that sometimes get noticed by fans and other times don't, but regardless, WWE will follow up on it after.

            Like Pearce and Ricochet talking about the falls count anywhere match last week, but hidden in the background is Drew talking to Rhea, which gets brought up this week.

            And all these superstars holding onto grudges instead of completely forgetting about a feud or story the moment it's over.

            Owens still doesn't fully forgive Jey, but they slowly were making up.

            Drew doesn't forgive Jey. Drew is still bitter about the Bloodline.

            Then Zayn slowly started feeling resentment towards Jey with KO being traded for him.

            Reigns seems to be angry at Cody for still wanting to finish the story (and now teaming with Jey) despite already beating Cody before.

              Someone must have finally gave him a vacation after 26 years. When Seth brought that up, I was like damn he hasn't missed a show for any reason? Family emergency, death, wife being pregnant, etc? That is insane given how much WWE travels every year, you think he miss a few shows here and there over 26 years.

                I know Becky is on NXT but like having Rhea beat the entire Women's Roster in a 5 way seems a bit much. Like you could spread that out until it's time for Becky vs Rhea at Wrestlemania.

                  I think he missed for his son's graduation but that was really it?

                  Given Vince is the "relax/sleep when you're dead" kind of person when it comes to work, it definitely must take its toll on commentators when you're there every single week no matter what.

                    I'd rather she beat them all at once vs the idea of a multi-month feud with Nia Jax, sure.

                      So we know the Bloodline and Judgment Day are working together, Roman told Jimmy to take care of the fact that Cody & Jey were Tag Champs. Jimmy did just that, so... I'm fantasy booking a bit here.

                      War Games: Finn, Dom, Damien, Jimmy & Solo vs Jey, Sami, KO, Cena and Randy Orton. Cody is upset at Roman for telling Jimmy to interfer in the match and cost him and Jey the tag titles. Cody demands a rematch with Roman at Survivor Series. Roman says he has to earn it, Cody has to go through a gauntlet. The last competitor is Solo and when Jimmy tries to interfer, Jey appears to Super kick Jimmy. Solo is distracted by Jey allowing Cody to hit the Three Cross Rhodes and gets his match again Roman for the Championship at Survivor Series.

                      Now the faces need a 5th member for War Games with Cody facing Roman for the Championship. Says he found a 5th partner for War Games to take his place.... Randy Orton returns as the 5th Man. Judgment Bloodline win War Games but Survivor Series in Chicago, AEW's second home closes with their former EVP winning the World Championship as Cody defeats Roman and finishes the story.

                        What a good season premiere of RAW this week. I was entertained in a way. Solid opening promo from Sami Zayn as now that he lost his tag team partner, he's on his own and possibly onto bigger things. I assume the WWE is going to have Shinsuke do pre-taped promos to make him look like a threat. He had a great Falls Count Anywhere match against Ricochet with a sick bump from Ricochet. The right guy went over here. Women's division. We saw a ton of them throughout this show from backstage segments and both women's singles matches. I think Triple H wants only the bigger women to chase after Rhea's Title at the moment which makes me wonder if that is why Becky gets to hold the NXT Title to keep her relevant (and face smaller opponents).

                        Rollins/McIntrye had the promo segment of the night. Both men made great points in their arguments as we continue to see hints of a McIntrye heel turn. I am into in this feud for Crown Jewel. IC Title match between Gunther/Bronson Reed was a banger too. Even though Reed lost, he still looked strong. When is Gunther moving up to main event status? Early 2024? Main event Tag Team Title match was enjoyable too. Lots of stuff happened here with interference. This was a short lived Title reign for the babyfaces. I guess the WWE needed to plant more seeds for Jimmy/Jey and Cody's unfinished story.

                              Fans: YEAH!
                              Hyeman: Don't ever do that again when I'm talking.

                              LA Knight: I'm not here to talk to you so you can take a walk. I need Roman Reigns out here!

                              *Heyman leaves*

                              LA Knight: Where do you think you're going?

                              Heyman: You told me to leave!

                              LA Knight: I don't care what you think I said, you get back in here.

                                A full "thank you Cena" chant?!

                                I've been saying it for years that when Cena is no longer on TV each and every week that fans will suddenly change their opinion of him.

                                Really, since the pandemic we've seen so many who were hated suddenly "getting their flowers".

                                Pearce: You kicking me out?
                                Aldis: I am.
                                Pearce: Let the games begin.

                                ......?
