Revisiting WWE Smackdown's Worst Ever Episode

[@coltonwilkie241]

Austin Theory standing there like he's on the character select screen and the player keeps going over his portrait deciding who they want to play as.

Eh, Mansoor and Mace were honestly really fucking good as the Maximum Male Models, however it wasn't the right fit for LA Knight.

Mid episode but FAR from the worst Smackdown episode of all time

There’s gotta be an episode from 2019 that’s like a WHOLE LOT WORSE

Worst episode of Smackdown, on my birthday?! Damn. Edit: At least a had a great Raw. 😅

The worst RAW (Not 'ever' like what was reviewed by this guy, last time, but the agreed worst RAW of 2018) was on mine, lol.

2022 SmackDown was literally CARRIED by Sami Zayn!

[@thegiosphere]

I completely blocked off all memory of the “championship contenders” matches.

[@Brian25174]

Honestly 2019 smackdown was worse than this episode since this one wasn't bad but mediocre while 2019 decided to not use good talent and had even dumber decisions

[@100carlosfermin]

[@Verny-e5o]

This is why i stopped watching around 2019 it was honestly probably at its worst around that point i only started watching again around the time the rock and bloodline storyline started

[@monsterjambrony]

I stopped watching in 2019 as well, but I didn’t watch again until I heard CM Punk retuned in 2023.

[@DeonteDDJ_]

That’s fair! Main roster was fairly mid for most of 2019 but NXT was absolutely on fire. That had my full attention. 🔥

I don’t usually miss the shows when they come around my city, but this one I’m glad I missed out on. Unfortunately I watched Thor love and thunder which was just as bad.

What about, "IT'S BOSS TIME" - Michael Cole

[@Memesauce67]

Couple of fun facts about our boy Max Dupri. When he finally changed into LA Knight, it was never portrayed as him being completely separate of an individual like WWE usually does, it was very clear that he was same guy, he was just simply done pretending to be Max Dupri. This means first and foremost that he is still TECHNICALLY the same guy as Max Dupri, just a whole lot angrier, and even more insanely, the way I see it is he is still canonically the brother of Maxine Dupri. If he is the same man as Max Dupri but with a different name, that doesn't change the fact that LA Knight is Maxine Dupri's brother in kayfabe, and I love this thought honestly

If I'm being honest I was never a fan of Roman. The title reign went on for so long. It dragged and whenever the interferences happened I was just so annoyed by it. Plus when he never defended it for months which I thought was stupid. I wish Vince had never pushed him.

[@MoneyMandown]

When you said I think he’s through playing around I went into shock

[@bblfightingorganization7896]
