WWE SmackDown – 8/2/2024: 3 Issues We Cherished And three Issues We Hated

To be trustworthy, this can be a section I assumed myself or one among my colleagues have been going to completely hate as a result of, nicely, Logan Paul. In case you’re less than pace about Paul’s latest transphobic feedback, I will not go into them right here, and I extremely encourage you to Google them. So, once I noticed he can be making his “grand homecoming to Cleveland” on the “SmackDown” preview, I am fairly certain I simply put my head in my arms and sighed. I did not like him earlier than, for his controversial causes, and I definitely like him much less. There was an excellent random black carpet rolled into the ring for Paul’s homecoming celebration, and a bunch of Cleveland “dignitaries” within the ring, who, appropriate me if I am improper, regarded like paid actors.

Then, got here what I *thought* can be the worst half. They unveil a banner in Paul’s honor. I had turned my head, assumably to write down one thing, at that time, and my husband beside me simply goes, “YEAH!” and I regarded as much as see the Knight-inspired graffiti on the banner, which actually obtained fun out of me. After all, the Mega Star, who’s difficult for the USA title tomorrow, comes down the ramp and runs down Paul, even alluding to how dangerous of per week he is had, and mentioned he’d go discover him a brand new banner. He headed backstage, by gorilla, on the lookout for mentioned banner, and even bumped into Fairly Lethal for some further comedic impact.

When Knight could not discover a banner, which I am assuming he was by no means even on the lookout for, her bumped into Paul’s truck, plastered in PRIME logos, that he entered the sector with. And, lo and behold, the truck was unlocked. Knight mainly counted down from three for Paul to run again down the ramp into the again, and took off within the truck, with Paul handing off the again. Superb. Whereas these aren’t in fact real-world desserts for the crap Paul has been spewing this week, it definitely felt good in some bizarre, wrestling fan means.

In an excellent higher temper, Knight took to his X account to submit a video of himself driving the truck. He promised he’d hit all of the pace bumps and solely put just a few dents in it, and return it in “simply great situation.” The little WWE digital exclusives are all the time enjoyable for me, and this one was no completely different. The gang in Cleveland was extraordinarily sizzling for Knight general, not simply due to Paul’s antics, and there is no motive, to me, he should not win the USA title. Then, Paul can go away for some time, rehabilitate his picture as soon as once more, and we’ll lastly get the Knight we have been deserving of for a yr now.
