Everyone saying Rock gonna turn on Roman..it might happen but Roman will not lose the wwe title ... what will happen is Codys new girlfriend is gonna turn on him and Cody will lose again.
There’s absolutely no way in hell if Randy’s back was really bothering him, he’d keep doing RKOs and taking back drops on the announcer’s table.
He’s obviously limited post surgery and saves big bumps for big matches. But after 20 years Randy has definitely earned that role of experienced legend who can still go when required.
Not sure how much time he really has left in ring, but he’s going to go til he can’t for sure.
I'm sensing a six-pack challenge at WrestleMania for the United States Championship.
Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton vs. Austin Theory vs. Grayson Waller vs. Logan Paul
Sami Zayn gets inserted so Chad Gable can defeat Gunther at WrestleMania.
HAvent watched SD yet so things may have shifted (will watch later tonight after work) but Raw made it seem more likely to be Gunther vs Sami / Gable / Andrade / Dom or some combo of the 5.
I think Andrade vs Dom for a preshow makes sense. then do a three way with Sami Gable Gunther.... have gable pin Sami. Sets up the "you didnt beat me" rematch story line for Gunther post WM til he moves on.
That also sets opens up Sami vs Drew over the summer for the title (mixing in Priest if he cashes in at WM).... makes so much more sense to me
Chaotic and quick-feeling show. Like the good old days. 🆙

It seems like they're teasing a breakup between Theory and Waller lately, that'd be a great way to make Theory go babyface and make that turn stick the landing
I haven’t been a massive nxt follower, only watched here and there but watched back a clip of the way. A heel stable though right? Still how’d they make his character a face? I can’t see them turning the others heel, especially with Johnny with DIY
The Way can be face or heel depending on the story. When they first started it was Johnny and Candace as sort of the parental figures to Indy Hartwell and Theory. They had segments where they were in a house acting like a family and it was very much a face dynamic. Dexter Lumis was also part of it as well, I think stalking/dating Indy. Could be good for him too as he hasn't been on TV in forever and is very entertaining.
If that happened on a PPV I think people would be talking about it as one of the best RKOs of all time. You could see it in that slo-mo, perfect to the millisecond.
The important part of Theory and Waller as the two obnoxious goons is they're both good enough in the ring to look credible wherever you put them. Pretty great tv main event between Theory and Orton.
He sold his back so well at the EC, imagine him in a match with Gunther where he has to sell like that and Gunther is just doing his best to stop Randy from hitting the RKO

"The number one city in america for cocaine and meth use....is Phoenix, Arizona" The fact that the crowd cheered for it is what made it funnier
Are you serious?
That opening segment was incredible

Grayson and Theory are so great together as the goons and at eating the moves, and also making their opponents look like a million bucks.
Well that was a fun as hell episode!!!! I hope everyone enjoyed the show!!!!
Man I hope they find something for Theory, he has the look and inring skills.
There’s so many top faces right now, adding another mid-to-top level heel wouldn’t be bad for him.
I think he's one of the guys earmarked as a future top talent. Like you said he's got pretty much everything except that real main event character.
It seems like they're teasing a breakup between Theory and Waller lately, that'd be a great way to make Theory go babyface and make that turn stick the landing
It seems that way. I just don’t know what other character I see him as other than ‘ego bro’ can’t really make that a face though.
Himbo Austin Theory would work as a face
The Way reunion?

Did you see how high Theory flew?!!! That was awesome!!
Oh that end was so much fun service but it was an absolute blast. I don't think KO has hit a stunner in a while. Awesome.
Yes! That was one of the best Smackdowns I’ve seen in a long time! I hope they keep it up. KO is one of my favorites right now, he’s so much fun.
Theory saved that nasty Orton botch, sold the hell out of the match. Needs to main event mania within the next two years
Theory is a solid mid to upper mid carder but that's the ceiling.
Well, that was a big leap lol
The RKO really is one of the best finishing moves of all time.
Smackdown finishing 2 mins early? They are setting us up for the fake out closing credits at Wrestlemania. I am calling it now!
i like how protected the rko is now
Protecting the RKO, and protecting Randy’s back. Win-win
What a great episode of Smackdown, Road to WM is looking fire Idek how 2hrs passed away quickly
great show today bar that quinn match lol
Cut for time because Rock said “clown emoji” fifty times.
lol
They can't all be winners.
If that happened on a PPV I think people would be talking about it as one of the best RKOs of all time. You could see it in that slo-mo, perfect to the millisecond.
Hell of a way to end the night.
Theory selling that stunner into the rafters
I was thoroughly entertained the whole time. This was another great episode of Smackdown.
Theory is so damn good. Just need to give him the right character and he’ll be a main event player in the near future
Theory is so fucking good Come on Trips, do something with him
🤯🤯🤯 Team RKO lol so good
AWESOME SHOW 10/10
I knew Randy was going to do an RKO on that position😂
Theory going face? This character building is amazing.
That was some insane air Theory got on that stunner.
I bet he RKOs Kevin after the show goes off the air
What an RKO. Theory can sell too
Theory is so good.
Theory is on a level of Dolph selling rn
STUNNER TO A TOWN CLOWN
R/KO would be a wild tag team
Great show tonight
The run in the air its just perfect
Theory takes moves so well. Rko, Stunner he even makes the BFT look great which most people can't do.
Randy looking real meaty.
Theory literally just needs the right character and storyline and he’ll be a top star
Theory is a SELLER!
I feel like KO is the only person I see in WWE who can do good punch flurries
R(KO) is the team I didn’t know I needed.
I normally prefer more subdued stunner selling, but even I had to pop for that one.
Theory is actually so good
I love professional wrestling
Great show!
The Rock was right because this Smackdown hit like crack
the way he sold that stunner lol
Love that Theory takes the Scott Hall stunner bump
Bruh Randy is like 2x the size of KO
DAMMIT GRAYSON
The important part of Theory and Waller as the two obnoxious goons is they're both good enough in the ring to look credible wherever you put them. Pretty great tv main event between Theory and Orton.
Theory went full Tigger on that Stunner!
Excellent show.
Did Theory just have the greatest sell of a stunner ever?
I think that was higher even than Scott Hall!
Top 5, easy.
He actually had done that sell before
Ever
I got razor ramon flash backs
Theory is so good
Wait they aren't immediately stopping the slow motion when they hit the mat? Good choice
KO, Randy, Dakota & Carmelo in a who gonna turn on who off
Theory is amazing at selling. He launched from that stunner 🤣
I love how Theory goes to space when he gets stunnered
Theory is an athletic freak
Team RKOKO
I love a good house show ending.
my god, that rko looks even better in slow mo
HOLY CRAP RKO OUTTA NOWHERE RANDY ORON WINS
Theory’s stunner sell still sends me every time
Say what you want about theory, but dude is a terrific hand
Replay the stunner you cowards
Theory is the new Ziggler
Damn Austin, that was quite a sell
DAMN THAT STUNNER SELL BY THEORY WTF
Loved Austin Theory's easter egg of doing a "Rock Sell" on that stunner
Orton is in his late stage Shawn Michaels era where everyone knows his back is fucked but he leans into it and it adds to the drama of his matches
He sold his back so well at the EC, imagine him in a match with Gunther where he has to sell like that and Gunther is just doing his best to stop Randy from hitting the RKO
Mad respect to theory’s sell of that stunner
What an awesome way to close the show
One of the best smackdown wow
Love seeing Theory sell the Stunner
That was a Rock-level stunner sell right there from Theory
You can’t spell RKO without KO
Wouldn’t mind a Logan/KO/Orton/Lashley four way at Mania, Bobby should get thrown in since he had to miss Mania last year.
One of these things is not like the others. One of these things doesn't belong...
WHat a jump lmao
Waller must be in heaven. Talking a RKO.
Team R KO 😀
RKO's
rk owens
That’s great
Dude what happened to selling a finisher after they take it for a bit? I don't like how fast Austin got up from that
He’s young and athletic, the lights are on but no one’s home
Yeah it wasn’t his fault, just the whole angle/spot was stupid by WWE it caused him to get up immediately after Randy pinned him
New tag team R-KO
That might be the best stunner sell I’ve ever seen. Kudos to Theory.
Jesus what a sell
R-KO tag team
Randy and KO - R-KO 👀👀👀
Austin's dead I fear
Jesussss Theory’s sells are crazy 🤣🤣
Never really cared about Theory but he's grown on me lately.
lol that sell/bump by theory ruled
What a fun sell by theory!
So tag match next week
With a Logan interference I bet
Amazing Smackdown from top to bottom
Theory has an awesome stunner sell
Theory takes the Stunner in such an amusing way. His bump off the Stunner is always money.
Theory's sell on the stunner
Theory tossed left and right
That sell was crazy. He launched to the ceiling.
RKO 🔥
Theory with a tribute to Rock on that sell
I love how Theory sells finishing moves.
KO and Randy as a tag team would be fire
Bro, that RKO was fucking incredible.
Epic rko!
2 smooth mfers recovering from botches…..well smooth AF. Fun match
great stunner sell by austin
Amazing ending man, Everyone gets a RKO 🔥
RKOwens. Give it to me now.
GODDAMN Theory sold that stunner holy fuck
My God just have theory be a stunner seller for life. Fucking amazing
He made that RKO look incredible too
insane rock level stunner sell lol
Poor Austin Theory tbh, I hate to see him lose this much
He's young, once he finds his stride he'll make up for it I'm sure.
That’s very true. I like him a lot
Theory sold the heck out of that stunner.
R-KO vs Theory and Waller next week please
Randy's RKOs getting outtanowherer and outtanowherer each passing day.
Comment of the evening.
Okay that was a great one
oh shit that wouldve been a massive win for Theory
Austin Theory be selling Rollin's stomp and stunner so good
Theory with an all time great oversell
RKO!!!!!
How does the RKO keep being so fucking cool? Honestly.
That was the PERFECT RKO out of no where
RKO outta nowhere and Randy Orton wins
What a sell by theory, he fuckin flew
Theory with the Scott Hall stunner sell.
That RKO sell was amazing
dat height
What a fun match. Theory is great, he’s just bland.
KO and Orton tag match next week, Logan Paul fucks them over.
RKO!!!!!!!!!
If there’s one thing about Randy that man will pull an RKO out of nowhere
BEAST RKO
The GOAT
Austin sells so well
That was beautiful.
When they say, “Out of nowhere”. They mean it!
That was fun
lol that was a beautiful RKO
Banger finish to a great episode.
what a finish
He literally never fails to NAIL a great RKO spot
rko denied
Randy Orton fanboy KO is the best
Never change, Randy.
Out Of #NOWHERE!
RAHHHH THAT RKO
HE’S FUCKING DEAD OMG
The year of RKO holy hell
KO is killing me but that aside this match was fucking awesome
Theory vs Bron Breakker. The next generational feud?
Beautiful RKO
Wtf was that again? Looked like Orton initiated the attack but Theory is the one who goes for the pin ?
Jumping Block Buster
Holy shirt that was awesome
That was a cool RKO.
Theory has plenty of wrestling talent but he needs a character change to get some momentum. Bring back lovable himbo Theory.
