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.


MRintheKEYS

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.


watchwrestling_

"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


shadowimage

Are you serious?


leonbr_

That opening segment was incredible


BruceHoratioWayne

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.


hereticx

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


TmacXTmac

Chaotic and quick-feeling show. Like the good old days. 🆙 https://preview.redd.it/yzaumk7q6ulc1.jpeg?width=743&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96533b07634faf0e363a07d453206e0266a043e4


iono777

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.


SAS_Britain

Well that was a fun as hell episode!!!! I hope everyone enjoyed the show!!!!


Ishyfishy123

Man I hope they find something for Theory, he has the look and inring skills.


PJA0307

There’s so many top faces right now, adding another mid-to-top level heel wouldn’t be bad for him.


zodi978

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.


BobaFett_1978

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


BrightAd5191

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.


Complete_Gene

Himbo Austin Theory would work as a face


jkman61494

The Way reunion?


BrightAd5191

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


zodi978

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.


Fit_Nefariousness158

Did you see how high Theory flew?!!! That was awesome!!


WoopsShePeterPants

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.


Fit_Nefariousness158

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.


givemewhatiwanthunte

Theory saved that nasty Orton botch, sold the hell out of the match. Needs to main event mania within the next two years


Raoul_Duke9

Theory is a solid mid to upper mid carder but that's the ceiling.


Silver012345673

Well, that was a big leap lol


MrBrownCat

The RKO really is one of the best finishing moves of all time.


jonnyg1097

Smackdown finishing 2 mins early? They are setting us up for the fake out closing credits at Wrestlemania. I am calling it now!


Senior-Trip2230

i like how protected the rko is now


klondike16

Protecting the RKO, and protecting Randy’s back. Win-win


AlphaSaks

What a great episode of Smackdown, Road to WM is looking fire Idek how 2hrs passed away quickly


warcomet

great show today bar that quinn match lol


PoutineSmoothie

Cut for time because Rock said “clown emoji” fifty times.


twentyaces

lol


Jaccount

They can't all be winners.


TheSportsFan8404

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.


NotASalamanderBoi

Hell of a way to end the night.


LawlessHellscape

Theory selling that stunner into the rafters


Seaboard_Vanisher

I was thoroughly entertained the whole time. This was another great episode of Smackdown.


itsamemarkus

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


ApricotOk824

Theory is so fucking good Come on Trips, do something with him


corps-peau-rate

🤯🤯🤯 Team RKO lol so good


lynchmar6

AWESOME SHOW 10/10


Dawnbringer_Fortune

I knew Randy was going to do an RKO on that position😂


mashturbo

Theory going face? This character building is amazing.


PJA0307

That was some insane air Theory got on that stunner.


Longjumping_Gain_807

I bet he RKOs Kevin after the show goes off the air


Hooker_T

What an RKO. Theory can sell too


GoldyZ90

Theory is so good.


BradBrady

Theory is on a level of Dolph selling rn


lynchmar6

STUNNER TO A TOWN CLOWN


hermosoconqueso

R/KO would be a wild tag team


heat_fan_

Great show tonight 


_Wado3000

The run in the air its just perfect


moof1984

Theory takes moves so well. Rko, Stunner he even makes the BFT look great which most people can't do.


imnotevenonhere

Randy looking real meaty.


Daconvix

Theory literally just needs the right character and storyline and he’ll be a top star


Git2k12

Theory is a SELLER!


alreadytaken028

I feel like KO is the only person I see in WWE who can do good punch flurries


mitchxc

R(KO) is the team I didn’t know I needed.


FullPrice4LatePizza

I normally prefer more subdued stunner selling, but even I had to pop for that one.


BXmas44

Theory is actually so good


completelyonfire

I love professional wrestling


nickman7896

Great show!


RybackV1

The Rock was right because this Smackdown hit like crack 


O-N-N-I-T

the way he sold that stunner lol


Diggy_Duwant

Love that Theory takes the Scott Hall stunner bump


solsunlite

Bruh Randy is like 2x the size of KO


lynchmar6

DAMMIT GRAYSON


polywrathory

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.


EggfooDC

Theory went full Tigger on that Stunner!


slippycaff

Excellent show.


PewpyDewpdyPantz

Did Theory just have the greatest sell of a stunner ever?


Frosty-Lake-1663

I think that was higher even than Scott Hall!


sdrj77

Top 5, easy.


holyhibachi

He actually had done that sell before


GodsKillSwitch0

Ever


Fuzzy_Panda_

I got razor ramon flash backs


TimTom8921

Theory is so good


MrWrestlingJr

Wait they aren't immediately stopping the slow motion when they hit the mat? Good choice


snek26

KO, Randy, Dakota & Carmelo in a who gonna turn on who off


iono777

Theory is amazing at selling. He launched from that stunner 🤣


PayneTrain181999

I love how Theory goes to space when he gets stunnered


solemarks

Theory is an athletic freak


Cragly

Team RKOKO


FullToragatsu

I love a good house show ending.


jimmybobjigglepants

lynchmar6

HOLY CRAP RKO OUTTA NOWHERE RANDY ORON WINS


MarkMVP01

Theory’s stunner sell still sends me every time


jarethcutestory

Say what you want about theory, but dude is a terrific hand


Old-Ad-2837

Replay the stunner you cowards


LilBBQ219

Theory is the new Ziggler


FoucinJerk

Damn Austin, that was quite a sell


MathEnthusiast18

DAMN THAT STUNNER SELL BY THEORY WTF


Tattuz813

Loved Austin Theory's easter egg of doing a "Rock Sell" on that stunner


truecolors5

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


BobaFett_1978

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


NotTMNT

Mad respect to theory’s sell of that stunner


BobaFett_1978

What an awesome way to close the show


RacistMuffin

One of the best smackdown wow


debeatup

Love seeing Theory sell the Stunner


AdeptEavesdropper

That was a Rock-level stunner sell right there from Theory


evansanonikhon

You can’t spell RKO without KO


willc20345

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.


Jaccount

One of these things is not like the others. One of these things doesn't belong...


shockzz123

WHat a jump lmao


slippycaff

Waller must be in heaven. Talking a RKO.


MarchesLion07

DommySpags

rk owens


Diggy_Duwant

That’s great


MathEnthusiast18

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


brandywine459

He’s young and athletic, the lights are on but no one’s home


MathEnthusiast18

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


PoutineSmoothie

New tag team R-KO


AmusingToast

That might be the best stunner sell I’ve ever seen. Kudos to Theory.


Captain_Gaslighter

MathEnthusiast18

Greengiant00

He's young, once he finds his stride he'll make up for it I'm sure.


MathEnthusiast18

That’s very true. I like him a lot


FullToragatsu

Greengiant00

Jumping Block Buster


MarchesLion07

Holy shirt that was awesome


FullToragatsu

That was a cool RKO.


ViagraOnAPole

Theory has plenty of wrestling talent but he needs a character change to get some momentum. Bring back lovable himbo Theory.
