Ups & Downs From WWE SmackDown (Aug 14)

[@rookie713]

Hey, there was no devastating move of a sports entertainment on this episode of Smackdown...i guess we're making progress

[@angelomcgowen4145]

I totally love STUFF JUST HAPPENS 👍🏽

[@thefacelessquestion3333]

And no surprise rollups.

[@ampbains]

Call me a mark, but I would love a double turn for Strowman/Fiend. Nobody's booing Fiend and being heel is just more natural for Braun.

[@thegecko1742]

The fiend has like smackdown's protector would be quite interesting for a Survivor Series angle.

[@jaromeartley73]

I see double turn happening. Too many Bray Wyatt fans to get any real heat. They should have shown Braun Stroman throwing Alexa Bliss.

[@blackout8777]

to early to turn fiend. stop thinking so deep.

Facts

[@Tha_Trigga]

Lol

[@nickamalfitano3613]

The gable and Riddle segment looked like gable had no clue that Corbin was going to rush in. He looked legit confused. So unless it was just terrible acting...I think that is what WWE was going for.

[@blk_masquerada2629]

still waiting for that wizard in the sky "It was me!" t-shirt

[@RageAgainstTheDice]

I'd buy one!

[@thomasbarton478]

Braun caught alexa bliss that why the light went out, as soon as his arms went to his side he moved it back up thats why they shut the lights off. Something that alexa might be used to because she used to be a cheerleader

[@victorhuertas4685]

Makes sense and she sold it to complete the imagery..cause she far up for an instant

[@mychaeljones7526]

I CAN TOTALLY SEE THAT

[@TehBuggy]

I loved when Bailey was freaking out backstage about Asuka winning and and how she lost to her on Raw, and then she said that this would be different from Monday because she had something important to fight for this time, and the death glare Sasha gave her was perfect.

[@DeadWirePromotions]

I quite like the idea of a monster heel Braun vs a conflicted (hurt/heal) anti-hero Fiend!

[@dupehotterthansoup]

I've stopped watching wrestling. I am disappointed in myself because of that, but i can't stop watching ups and downs. Thank you,Simon.

[@Realic_gaming]

I think AJ and Jeff’s match for smackdown on NEXT week’s episode should be at Summerslam. So on the reveal of their match being on Smackdown, i give it a down

[@Sharmaji90svale]

I almost forgot AJ styles can become GrandSlam champion.

[@ryanpotter9152]

i skip to the ups and downs so my wrestling week becomes 5 minutes rather than 10 hours. THANKYOU for saving me so much time!

[@kogie5824]

My wrestling is 5 hours cause I get only one hour of all WWE show

[@dizzy1369]

Abyss/Chris Parks/Joseph Parks was the highlight of the show

[@hafizsyednomanali6868]

true!!!

[@franklingoodwin]

Joseph Parks still has the best facial expressions 😆

[@nycero]

That “crowd” that they have really be ruining the moment I don’t want them there

[@illadelph42]

I actually watched SD last night (mostly just bc I wanted to see Jeff Hardy) but as the Fiend?Braun segment was happening I said aloud "I cannot wait to hear what Simon has to say about this"

[@messigoat9815]

The best thing about Simon is that he gave you the explanation about the show but at the same time it's so fucking funny , he is funny but always makes the best point and observation about the little details

[@DJDoubleCee]

I’m almost desperate to see Bayley and Sasha turn on each other. Maybe Asuka winning both their belts at SummerSlam will lead to that happening.

[@kennybryan2411]

DJDoubleCee ASUKA 2 BELTS HAHA

[@bg_philjac]

She's gonna win sashas and bailey will retain causing sasha to turn on her in jealousy

[@Iamtrashboat]

Stuff just happens is wayy better than that wizard in the sky shit lmao much love Simon🤘🏽

I actually kinda like the Fiend and Braun story. It makes some sense and kinda like watching an odd IFC movie lol

[@eagle3676]

I loved the ending of Smackdown. It was really something so damn different. Both The fiend and Braun are basically evil now but Braun is more of a monster. I wanna see what they end up doing

[@parthivchakraborty8253]

Loved smackdown. Progression of story lines, hardy in the title picture, hair vs hair build up, strowman losing it all, retribution notching it up from breaking windows to targeting people - loved it.

[@JSamad]

One of the few times when I don't agree with Simon. The whole Fiend-Strowman-Bliss storyline is absolutely one of the best storylines in wrestling, absolutely brilliant.

[@jstriggsr]

I was impressed with Alexa "planking" as Braun was holding her for as long as she did !! truly a WOW moment !!!

[@mychaeljones7526]

She used to be a cheerleader

[@DFinFracFort]

Good catch on the "people change when they encounter The Fiend" line. Honestly if you go back and look at the past year, look at all the people he's faced as The Fiend, and look where they are before and after that. Mick Foley: Maybe the only one who hasn't changed but it's possible he was before the storytelling began. Finn Balor: Before he was a happy-go-lucky but serious when called for, and After he moved back to NXT as a righteous badass heel Seth Rollins: Before he was the Universal Champion and a babyface who could get over a pet squirrel if he wanted, and after 2 matches with the Fiend and losing the title, he became "The Monday Night Messiah" The Miz, Daniel Bryan, Goldberg: All 3 seem to have not "changed", though DB did change his appearance back to 2011 DB which was cool. Braun Strowman: We're watching him develop back into the psychotic Braun he was when he first became a member of the Wyatt Family.

[@Chewbruhcca]

Although Miz faced Firefly Funhouse Bray and not The Fiend ,he did turn heel afterwards tho.

[@DFinFracFort]

@@Chewbruhcca That's right he did turn heel after that! Thank you for the correction!

[@Yadomon]

It was me the wizard of the sky . I just love that segment pure gold IS A GOLDEN UP

[@jericodioquino2400]

This week's Smackdown was weird but intriguing to say the least

[@hunterofchaos12]

Shinsuke has kicked out of two attitude adjustments in a row a phenomenal forearm and styles clash but loses to a springboard elbow drop. Move over surprise roll up, we’re about to see the next most devastating move in all of sports entertainment.

[@DigitalStains]

WIzard in the Sky shirt please!

[@ampbains]

I can't lie, I did a little shimmy when seeing Joseph Park too. :) Saw him and was like, "Is that...? No, couldn't be...HOLY $#!T IT IS!!!!"

[@DrHamezTech]

Used the S20 for a long time and would definitely say it's the better S20 of the bunch!

[@pimpcaIzz]

I am calling it. Braun vs The Fiend ends with Alexa Bliss holding The Fiends Hand up with the title. She joins Bray. Also. This SmackDown was awesome. I am really enjoying Retribution

[@BigLou2]

I thought I was watching Cesaro for a minute with the shades.

[@christianhafer9819]

You should have given it a middle arrow like you did Raw a couple weeks ago. AJ trying to erase the board and his reaction to it not coming off was excellent.

That final segment, that would be like trying to describe Man of Medan without using clips....not something I would attempt to do.

[@ryansullivan8344]

Simon does a pretty good job of explaining the Braun Strowman, Fiend and Alexa Bliss storyline and then gives it a down because he says he doesn't know how to explain it, and non-wrestling fans wouldn't understand it???

[@EpsilonXero]

Maybe unpopular opinion?: I enjoyed the ending to SD.

[@eagle3676]

Same dude

[@ungartothemax20166]

Most likely the Fiend Bray Wyatt is going to win the Universal championship at SummerSlam, but I kind of wish Braun had a better title reign

[@DamnWhoAsked]

Wooowww so wait a minute....that guy in the suit was ABYSS?? I’m shook!

[@angelmaxxx]

I firmly believe that John Morrison is simply in WWE for the check, not for the fame. Given the stuff he normally does in the ring + his age, it makes sense that he doesn't want to wrestle any major matches.

[@julesrules7297]

My sister doesn't watch wrestling and she walked by the TV right when Retribution came into the bathroom while that guy was on the toilet and she yelled, "WHAT?!" and laughed really hard. I felt both embarrassed and amused.

[@ungartothemax20166]

At 8:18 when Simon starts discussing the match between Sheamus and Chad Gable (Shorty G), the picture on the Millertron 5000 makes it look like Gable is a fish 🐟 flopping around in the sand.

[@georgediaz5522]

It's sad because shanya v. Asuka should be for the Raw Women's Title at Summerslam and it should be Sasha v. Bayley for the Smackdown Women's Title at Summerslam. They're sacrificing the entire women's division on all 3 shows to get the eventual Bayley v. Sasha match.
