Penta Debuts! - Ups & Downs: WWE Raw Review

[@stevenhodges9680]

I swear when Michael Cole said "SAMI ZAYN JUST WON A MATCH WITH A BLUE THUNDER BOMB!" He was talking directly to Simon.

[@andrewhernandez9370]

Cole is really one of us!

[@robertsanders3503]

Facts, he definitely emphasized it😂😂

[@nolankuffner3573]

I think it could only have been funnier if Cole was like "Sami Zayn wins.. with the least devastating move in wrestling!"

[@davelee3626]

Came hear to point this out , glad someone beat me to it!

[@tylertrainz4460]

They were talking about how devastating it was also lol

[@Bobo_chimp]

When Sami won with the blue thunder bomb I was laughing too much instantly thought of Simon lol

[@terrancekellum7016]

Facts

[@m_eazy07]

I did too as well

[@Chrisyork21]

Came here to say the same thing

[@joshuameredith4281]

Me too. My wife asked why I was laughing so hard and I just told her you would not understand.

[@kyletobin1246]

Same with me. I had to immediately check social media to see if he or any one had commented on it, sadly no, but still had the same thoughts. I think Konosuke Takeshita won a match with a Blue Thunder Bomb as well so we'll see what the future holds?🤔

[@MasonTheDad]

Punk being angry and asking “why can’t it be Rhea Ripley or something who interrupts me?” Made me laugh

[@bignblack63bx]

Everybody and everyone wants Rhea Ripley to interrupt anything! ❤❤😂

[@tomseville2345]

*During* Seth's music, usually a no-no in wrestling promo chain angles... 🤣🤣

[@DamariJackson24]

If Rhea stars getting interrupted by Rhea instead of Seth when he cuts a promo he will probably feel the same way liv felt for months😂.

[@prayerdoeswork1018]

As soon as he hit the Blue Thunder Bomb and got the 1, 2, 3. My first thought was SIMON WILL BE HAPPY 😊

[@allenshadrick22]

It's the blue thunder bomb era now 😂

[@dannyaraya8017]

simon won’t be happy, he hates that move

[@prayerdoeswork1018]

@dannyaraya8017 Nah he loves it The industry doesn't give it the credit it deserves thus why he calls it the LEAST DEVASTATING MOVE IN ALL SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

[@KangHersh510]

This was the most anticipated episode of Ups and downs because of that Blue Thunder Bomb win 😂😂😂🔥🔥

[@johnshort5830]

Sami winning with the Blue Thunder Bomb was the highlight of Raw for me. I immediately was like oh, we're gonna talk about this.

[@DamariJackson24]

FACTS

[@CapitalPSY]

I genuinely love that on a show where Penta made his debut, Lyra won a title, and major storylines progressed, most of these comments and the beginning of this video are talking about Sami winning with a Blue Thunder Bomb!

[@DamariJackson24]

Considering how Simon feels about the blue thunder bomb never ever winning a match I’m not surprised it’s the most talked about thing in this comment section.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

This felt like the first real official RAW on Netflix and they hit a home run. WWE and Gable helped Penta look like a million bucks and welcomed him to his new home very much. If you didn't know who he was, you do now. Drew/Seth/Punk once again killed it with their promos. We also set up Bron vs Sheamus for SNME. Lyra and Dakota delivered and while it wasn't Dakota's night, they both proved they were worthy to be the first Women's IC champion. Gunther destroys Jey on the mic, while Dirty Dom is in the dog house. Finally, Sami won with the BLUE THUNDER BOMB! and Priest and Balor had a great street Fight.

[@mabmister]

Anyone else think someone like the Miz watches Ups and Downs and came up with the idea for the Blue Thunder Bomb to win it? That's my fantasy history.

[@DearMrReese]

Yes, I'm convinced wrestlers watch Ups and Downs, too.

[@shawnjohnson7077]

Xavier woods commented on an ups and downs video before under his whatever creed account a couple times.

[@DamariJackson24]

@@DearMrReese Definitely some wrestlers

[@johnbernaudo7631]

@@shawnjohnson7077nobody cares about Xavier woods cuz he’s a clown

[@nlangley92]

I popped when sami got the 1,2,3 on the blue thunderbomb. My initial reaction was, "Does it work? No, it never does," Then his music hit

[@cdmit27]

Simon, you were the first person I thought of when the blue thunder bomb worked. Never lose faith. Have a glorious day!

[@anthonysmall6167]

Carlito reminds me of that one kid in school who is always caught doing mischief. His expressions are priceless😂😂😂

[@DamariJackson24]

FACTS😂.

[@scxiao]

I popped hard when even Michael Cole lowkey acknowledged that the Blue Thunder Bomb is the least devastating move in all of sports entertainment 😂😂

[@thearun43210]

Sami wins with a blue thunder bomb. Sami must watch your ups and downs

[@Afterguar]

Blue Thunder Bomb bros... we're so back

[@boyspicegaming]

Exactly

[@danileis5470]

I could not stop laughing when Sami beat Miz with the blue thunder bomb. Wish we could’ve seen a live video of Simon’s reaction to that happening 😂

[@ZadXander]

I always thought that penta was just another kalisto/sin cara when he was with AEW, but god damn that aura was insane. Could easily be one of the best luchadors in wwe history if used correctly. Throw him into the IC scene asap.

[@DeathbySkullfxxx]

LOOOOOLLLLLL I love me some Penta... but, injury prone and cuts a promo almost exclusively in Spanish. Nah... if he doesnt get hurt, his limited move set as a singles star is going to shine thru in the WWE machine. Now.. undoubtedly thatll rile some feathers. Dont bother fighting. Either watch it play out, or know Im eatin crow a year from now. But heres tk a pre-emptive I told ya so....

[@BranniganCarter]

That Helluva to Blue Thunderbomb needs to be his finish from now on. That worked so damn smooth

[@patrickevans9604]

Yea it actually does work pretty well. Could it be the finisher combo he needs to finally win the title before he retires?

[@davidbullock1101]

Honestly the helluva into the blue thunder bomb is a good looking two move finisher therefore making the helluva a very nice signature setup

[@eliousley220]

Yesss what a smooth transition.

[@joshuabarnett88]

Shout out to Pat saying that the Blue Thunder bomb was "devastating" 😂 they definitely know...

[@matthewb804]

I love that he started the video with the Blue Thunder Bomb! I literally came here just for that. 😅

[@cab818]

Can we all agree and have Simon as a surprise entrant at the rumble!

[@WaltThrizzeyGrant]

I agree ..him doing this helps wwe so much...and he is a professional wrestler.

[@ericmookiegary]

When Cole said excitedly that Sami won with the Blue Thunder Bomb, I laughed and said they been listening to Simon. 😂

[@DoubleDub2]

i’m so glad you opened with Sami Zayn

[@Riley0520]

Ive been loving the simon family guy cutaways in up and downs

[@georgefeliu2383]

All I thought about when the blue thunder bomb won was Simon Miller was going to be good today.

[@cancerrebelsrunningwithreason]

Lol when I saw Zahn win with the blue thunder bomb I automatically thought of Simon and what he's going to say!

[@thedime6395]

Who cares about Penta and the Sacrifice, real news is Blue Thunder Bomb the new most devastating move in all of professional wrestling.

[@Oldmanmovies]

I think they should let Sami Zahn start winning with the blue thunder bomb just to troll Simon. 😂😂😂

[@bobbydelacroix1515]

Penta did really good, dude had the crowd in his hands lol really good seller too

[@ChrisLT]

I'm glad this video opened with the most important topic.

[@RickyDriscoll7582]

The debut of Penta was awesome

[@BobbyCrosthwaite]

I'd love to see Simon Miller in the royal rumble

[@jordannnokwam4691]

I had to watch penta’s matches before I saw his wwe debut and he is really good i can’t wait to see more of him 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kyletobin1246]

Oh man, If only you know how good we have it, especially how talented, how good of a seller and how hard hitting Penta's moves are. I mean just watch him in Lucha Underground and then come back to me lol. Just trust me, its absolutely worth watching. I even recommend his & Fenix tag matches in DEFY wrestling here in Washington state.

[@JPC4th]

Highlight was Drew referring to the ula fala as Roman's falafel.

[@marcusjackson4148]

Yes!!! I was waiting for someone to mention that!!!!😂

[@danielduran4754]

Oh snap! I was wondering why he was talking about a falafel! Now I get it. Freaking Drew. lmao!

[@zoduek]

I was tickled when Sammy hit the blue thunder bomb! Simon, I heard you in my head. Ha ha ha!!

[@JLeviNow]

Someone from WWE definitely watches your videos

[@scottwherle]

I’m convinced Sami won with the Blue Thunder Bomb solely for you, and no one’s gonna tell me otherwise. 😂

[@waynemccray4015]

I was talking with my brother start of the show and he said that the blue thunder bomb was going to win tonight! I was so happy to see it!

[@jeffreyhuggins4786]

1st thing I thought of was you. Blue Thunder Bomb win for Sami. I said I cant wait to see Simon Miller's Ups and Downs tomorrow. Plus I know much you personally praise NXT and they are killing it there and the ones who've recently gone to the main roster. Im right there with you bro!

[@runningmanli6538]

I’m glad that the Blue thunder bomb was addressed first. I instantly thought of Simon as soon as it happened lol

[@SimonMillerYT]

I still can’t believe it…

[@Rahulmishra.2233]

😂😂

[@TheBorwig]

My kids said “who’s Simon?” cause, like everyone else, I said “Simon’s gonna love that” when Sami won with the BTB. I answered with “he’s the funny British guy that talks about wrestling on my phone” and they said “oh yeah, I like him, he’s funny”

[@jameswardle8892]

The moment he hit that blue thunder bomb and won, I instantly thought of Simon. Laughed to myself and looked forward to his comments haha

[@cellmax55]

I love that most the comments aren't about Penta or the IC championship, but Sami actually finally winning with the blue thunder bomb...

[@Sabbathbloodysabbath666]

Bit lame

[@The_Brimada]

I don't even like Sami like that, but him actually winning with it made me pop. 😂

[@jenniferkovalick2959]

I gotta say Damian Priest did an amazing job protecting Finn on that Falcon Arrow spot in the crowd!! I love seeing clean, safe, but difficult moves like that! Pentagon's debut was fantastic and i cant wait to see more! Cero Meido!

[@ntheyezimba5856]

Sami winning with that blue thunder bomb was mad after watching that segment I couldn't wait to see Simon's reaction. 😂

[@snoww7524]

He won a match with the Blue Thunder Bomb in Saudi in 2023 against JD McDonagh on the pre-show!

[@KingJobber]

Finn aint ever gonna get pushed to the moon at this point. He is the modern day Dolph Ziggler

[@boyspicegaming]

Stop we have to believe

[@Manny8107]

Craig David....7 days...1999 hit? Deep cut buddy, I love it ❤

[@jazsaxfavs]

Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that!

[@pholy98]

I couldn't wait for this Ups and Downs cause I knew Simon would mention that Blue Thunder Bomb win 😂😂

[@johnlewandoski1645]

Micheal Cole had me cracking up over penta the worst kept secret in wrestling. And his commentary after the blue thunder bomb finish.

[@ScottKent]

You also need to track the total number of Blue Thunder Bombs used...to show how ineffective it is

[@Kevmaster2000]

The commentators were shocked he won with the blue thunder bomb. That had to be a reference to you Simon. It’s all for you Damien…er I mean Simon.

[@illnicky76]

Simon. I give you and some other creators high praise for making it cool to like wrestling again!

[@david-khan]

When i saw Sammy win with a blue thunder bomb last night. I knew he was gonna bring it up, lol 😂

[@cellszo1623]

Omg im happy you still do ups and downs I haven’t seen your vids in years, keep it up Simon

[@randomhank]

Random Hank cried Mexican tears. Something very heartwarming seeing talent cut a promo in their native language in front of their own, like Sami Zayn opening Raw after Crown Jewel

[@deft__12]

It’s crazy to think that Penta had so much aura in his debut, and he’s only one half of a tag team. Excited to see what the E does with him and Fenix

[@CaptainBlackGB]

I was at the show last night. When Penta came out the atmosphere was ELECTRIC!!!

[@K-Dub159]

Noti gang!!! LFG!!!! BLUE THUNDER BOMB W!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@jordannnokwam4691]

😂😂😂

[@camaronshoultz6137]

That Blue Thunder Bomb was for you Simon!!

[@erictheredxiii]

BLUE THUNDER BOMB!!! 😭👏🏽🏆

[@princealigorna7468]

Kevin Owens has to be losing his mind about him getting yelled at for using piledrivers while Penta is busting out the Destroyer (which is a piledriver). At this point, he should just be like, "You want to see an unsafe move? I'll show you an unsafe move!" and start busting out Steenalizers

[@galepeck8717]

Give yourself credit simon, Your not just some bald KZbinr. I can speak for alot of us you keep me investedbin wrestling and well informed. Much love from the U.S.A.

[@florianreimann3166]

Sami wins with the BTB My first thought: Will Simon introduce a new counter? My second thought: Ross going 'The end is nigh, the end is nigh! time to run away, the end is nigh!' xD

[@robinkern926]

@Simonmiller btw not sure if anyone else noticed the sweet call back to SummerSlam 2003 opening match with Kurt Angle v Rey Mysterio via the Penta v Gable match? Gable came out looking like Kurt Angle and the crowd even chanted you suck. And he went 1 v 1 with one of the best Luchadors in the world who just debuted in the WWE. I know it's possibly a stretch but that's the vibe i got.

[@enothewonderdog]

One thing that made me laugh more than it possibly should have was when Jey came out. Gunther was trying to stay in character but watching the crowd go nuts he clearly wanted to laugh.. so he ended up just smirking a lot while trying to be serious. It was hilarious watching someone trying so desperately to stay in character.

[@shanecampbell7423]

That behind/under shot of the Falcon Arrow through the table was fantastic.

[@goldennugget2562]

This is the goofiest I've ever seen Simon I think. Thank you for not taking this seriously. You're my hero

[@stephenmorton6764]

Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it Champ 💪

[@dannyaraya8017]

Gunther was so damn good on the mic last night. i was like “i need to buy some merch” when he was talking

[@jmo152]

"My meter is full" made me lol, good stuff :)

[@bobbydelacroix1515]

Balor and Priest DELIVERED

[@dannyaraya8017]

finn getting rolled out by emt’s was corny though, felt so forced & not needed. just let them fight

[@coler3884]

The worst match on this episode was better than the best match on the previous episode. THANK GOD!

[@glenhayman8722]

Love your work Simon thanks

[@franciscohernandez-sn3ms]

Man!! Watching Penta finally debuting was beutiful, this dude deserves it. Cannot wait to see him feud with the likes of Gunther

[@adayinthelifeofJB]

Simon in the Rumble! And a title shot counter!

[@kambesyes]

Blue thunder bomb for the win! I liked as many comments as I saw talking about it, lol. Simon is the best and I enjoy all his catchphrases. 😂

[@ShaggyJonJ]

This Rumble is gonna be insane. Cause the main eventers all being in the rumble is just nuts.

[@kevinhousen2791]

As soon as I seen the blue thunder bomb, I said shout out to Simon Miller.

[@Sammy-is4qt]

I'm sure Michael Cole watches Ups and Downs😂😭😭

[@Chrisyork21]

I like that we have so many legit storylines that are going into the rumble so the winner is not obvious cause you could make the point for multiple people to win.

[@numero1superfly393]

WWE Rematch Counter: 11

[@TheConjuration_metal]

They actually let Penta have a good first match with his moveset. Shocked.

[@nhlakaniphokunene7018]

I popped for the blue thunder bomb finish more than anything else, instantly made me think of ups and downs😂

[@smokeman2750]

Maybe it’s just me, but when Drew called the ula fala the falafel I about fell out of my chair laughing

[@spoof2062]

Penta debuting is great and all but DID YOU SEE THAT WIN WITH THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB??

[@D4rkW4ri0]

I lost it at the at the wig

[@BrndnNZT48V2.0]

I read your comment at that part 😂😂😂

[@AlexanderKahrs]

Very happy about the debut of Penta El Zero Last Name on Raw last night. Hearing Cole mention Lucha Underground was a bit of a fever dream 😂

[@chuckwolf9869]

To be fair it wasn't actually the Blue Thunder Bomb that won Sammy the match, it was The Helluva kick just before that, the Thunder Bomb was just a follow up.

[@GunfireFWC]

The new counter must have blown the production budget Thank you, Simon

[@jayleeds3]

I came for one thing, and it was mentioned instantly… Love it! 🎉

[@jacob47329]

i believe sami beat aj with the blue thunder bomb twice. once in saudi arabia and once when styles was the wwe champion and sami/kevin were a heel tag team

[@ThisGuy2025]

I know it's a long shot, but I hope during the Rumble, Kofi and Xavier are both in, and the New Day theme comes on and the place explodes. Big E comes out and walks down while the whole ring just watches. He gets in, land a few kicks and punches on Kofi and Xavier, throws them out, stops over the top rope, and just walks back down the runway. At least so he can go out on his terms if that's it.

[@calebmaybin6896]

Golden Up for Cole mentioning Penta's time in TNA.

[@eliousley220]

The Blue Thunder Bomb!! Brooo that's the only the 2nd time is he making that his new finisher, I'm all for it.

[@paultaylor5935]

Was lot better than last week

[@malikepperson6164]

I literally came here to see your response to the blue thunder bomb getting a win

[@gr81disp]

When Balor put the chair around Priest's neck, I think the implication was he was going to do another Sling Blade.

[@mr.greatness5482]

I'M NOT EVEN LYING, THE MOMENT I SAW THAT I CAME STRAIGHT HERE 🤣 (Watching a bit late obviously but I just KNEW you'd have much to say lol)
