Not even Rhea could save Jade's World Title Match at WrestleMania. They put the title on her and banked so hard on Bianca returning and Rhea felt like a last second pivot when they realize Bianca's finger hasn't healed yet.

They really put the Women's Tag Title Match as the Main Event? I fully expect this to breakdown into a big brawl with Charlotte & Alexa but still kind of a lame way to end what has been a really good episode of Smackdown.Comment

This show was complete chaos....... you have Orton breaking Cardona's arm in the ring and then Jacob/Drew fighting outside the arena, pure madness. I think Pearce should call Nick and offer him a drink, he will need one after tonight.
Got to love how the crowd was chanting "Randy, Randy, Randy" even though he was beating up a babyface. I know Randy is good as a heel and may be able to get the fans to boo him eventually but I'm starting to think that even if Randy punted Brandi while Cody was handcuffed, the fans would still cheer as loud for Randy.Last edited by UFCMPunk; 03-20-2026, 10:09 PM.Comment

Kit Wilson's poem to Jelly was great. Jelly countered with the old "your mom" joke which still got a pop too.
Orton getting cheered no matter what. I wonder if the ending was improvised by Orton. High fives to the crowd despite being a heel. Maybe he realized he's not getting booed so just roll with it.
Maybe this just ends up being a new version of Orton. The old Orton but he gets cheered for doing what he used to do to get booed?
Hopefully they adjust everything based on crowd reactions and don't try forcing a heel Orton on a crowd that'll just keep cheering him.
One thing I think will happen is him winning the title at WM with a punt to Rhodes. It needs to happen.Comment

Speaking of Jelly Roll...they told him to give Orton an inspirational talk, he instead opted for a full on monologue. That thing felt like it lasted 5 minutes.Originally posted by SmashManComment

I've been rewatching Truth & Priest winning the Tag Titles and Priest seemingly seems shocked they won as if nobody told him the result. It's like someone told him, "Yeah Truth is taking the pin tonight" but not in the way Priest probably thought.Comment

This feud is working because unlike the garbage Cena turn, this Orton situation isn't bracketed and pigeonholed in a time limit part time window bracket of an expiring career.
They really have not done any favors to Cody having to deal with Rock in 2024, Cena in 2025 and now Orton this year. Of course nobody's gonna boo Orton at this stage.
I still wish it was Drew because it's dumb what they did.
Nice show. Lot of interwoven stories throughout the show. It felt more like an event than a presentation. Too much wrestling now feels like once you're done with your segment of the show that's it. There were multiple instances of running story within the show. We need more of that.
They need to figure out a way to make Cody the heel here. Not sure he'd get booed either but I don't know. Really wish heels/faces still existed.Last edited by TheMatrix31; 03-22-2026, 02:11 AM.Comment

My question is ... they had to know that Orton was never going to get booed, right? There's no way they thought he would get booed and Cody would get cheered, right? Please tell me they knew that.Comment

I think they would have to figure that.
That's why it'd be better to keep it Drew vs Orton. I mean I don't hate this feud like I said but I loathe how they got there. Elimination Chamber makes things obvious so credit to them for "changing" I guess.
Still think a 4 way makes sense in this case. Even though I don't really like that for Wrestlemania championship matches.

Heyman name drops DEAN AMBROSE and fans with a very loud "OOOOOOOH"
Oba isn't the next big thing. He's already arrived. The crowd already treating him like a main event star.
They showed Logan/Brady at that flag football event. I don't think he's going to be involved in a match or anything, but getting Tom Brady even just making a short appearance from the crowd could be something that might happen.Last edited by Majingir; 03-23-2026, 07:51 PM.Comment

Jimmy: Mind your words when you're talking about our family.....
Camera zooms in on LA Knight while a trailer with The Rock on it is perfectly placed behind LA Knight. Knight hitting Jey with the "You sound like Roman" talk again, Tama told Solo he's starting to sound like Roman. Are we about to get a Super Bloodline group with the OG Bloodline & The MFTs merging into one Faction?Last edited by UFCMPunk; 03-23-2026, 08:04 PM.Comment

I love how certain things can trigger anyone.Originally posted by UFCMPunk
Even to this day, mentioning "you're sounding like Roman" can be used as a diss to any Bloodline member.
Like how you can always trigger Roman by bringing up Rollins and the Shield.Comment

Heyman filed a restraining order against Rollins, Rollins violated it by attacking Heyman when Heyman mentioned Becky divorcing him and he would adopt his daughter.
Police arrested Rollins.... WWE going all out in these closing weeks before Mania. Based on Heyman's laugh, Breakker is back next week?Comment
