Emotional Moments on SmackDown

Kevin Owens’ Heartfelt Promo

One of the most impactful moments from this week’s WWE programming was Kevin Owens’s emotional promo about his mother’s health during SmackDown. The promo resonated deeply with the audience and the hosts.

It was a very emotional promo from Kevin Owens. He talked about his mom in the hospital, saying how she’s been fighting and would want him to be at SmackDown,” Dave Simon recounted.

Johnny North added, “I hope she pulls through. Kevin Owens’ promo was the highlight of SmackDown, a real heartfelt moment.”

New Tag Team Champions

In addition to Owens’ powerful segment, SmackDown also featured the crowning of new tag team champions, although this was overshadowed by Owens’ emotional message. The reaction from the audience was mixed, with some fans expressing their concerns and support.

Weekly Highlights: WWE and AEW

SmackDown’s Mixed Reception

While Kevin Owens stole the spotlight on SmackDown, the overall reception of the show was lukewarm. Audience member Antoinette commented, “SmackDown was not the best, not the greatest. Money in the Bank better be better.

Dave and Johnny echoed these sentiments, agreeing that the show’s matches and segments were underwhelming compared to previous weeks.

AEW’s Ongoing Storylines

In AEW, the storylines continue to evolve, with notable developments in various feuds. The tension between factions and individual wrestlers remains high, setting the stage for exciting matches in the coming weeks.

Looking Ahead to Money in the Bank 2024

Men’s Ladder Match

The Men’s Ladder Match is one of the most anticipated matches at Money in the Bank 2024. The participants include Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Chad Gable, Andre, Carmelo Hayes, and Jey Uso. The stakes are high, with the winner earning a contract for a future championship match.

Dave Simon is confident in Drew McIntyre’s chances, predicting, “If Drew doesn’t win, it’s because CM Punk has done something to him.” Johnny North agreed, adding, “I think Drew will win and try to cash in the same night, but Punk will screw it up.

Women’s Tag Team Match

The Women’s Tag Team Division also promises excitement, with Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill aiming to reclaim their titles. While the champions were absent from SmackDown, Belair and Cargill made a statement with their victory over Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae, setting the stage for a potential title match.

“Bianca is so good. She’s just such a talent. It’s almost like she’s wasted in this tag team right now,” Dave Simon noted.
