Smackdown Results 9/4:
  • Detailed Results here.
  • Paul Heyman and Universal Champion Roman Reigns cut a promo in the ring to open the show.
  • A happy Jey Uso met with Roman backstage, Roman was polite but stand-offish.
  • Heavy Machinery defeated Miz and Morrison in a tag match. Morrison stole the Money in the Bank briefcase.
  • Sheamus ambushed BIG E backstage and hit White Noise on him onto a car windshield.
  • Bayley and Sasha did a backstage promo about winning back their tag team titles from Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax.
  • Backstage, Adam Pearce said BIG E was out of the Fatal Fourway and would be replaced (Sheamus was still in the match). Paul Heyman took Pearce aside for a quiet word.
  • Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax (C) defeated Bayley and Sasha in a tag title rematch to retain their tag titles. Nia pinned Bayley and Sasha simultaneously after a long, pretty good match where Bayley and Sasha were 100% the faces.
  • After a break, an injured Sasha refused help from paramedics so Bayley helped her out of the ring, then attacked her, beat her down and pillmanized her neck.
  • Sami Zayn, Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles got into an argument and then a brawl over who the REAL Intercontinental Champion is.
  • Jey Uso was added to the Fatal Fourway for a shot at the Universal Title. Jey thanked Roman in his locker room, who told him it was time he won something himself.
  • Otis revealed that he kept the MITB contract in a lunchbox. Morrison discovered the briefcase was full of food.
  • A brief Firefly Funhouse said a "new friend" was coming soon.
  • Alexa Bliss hugged a still concerned Nikki Cross backstage.
  • Jey Uso defeated Sheamus, Baron Corbin and literal accused rapist Matt Riddle in a Fatal Fourway to become the Number One Contender for Roman Reigns' Universal Title. Jey pinned Riddle after a Frog Splash.
  • Jey cut a postmatch promo direct to Roman and ended the show dedicating the win to his twin Jimmy.

It's odd, I got the WWEmeo from Big E, but he was filming in a dingy bathroom and in the background I could hear Xavier screaming about his leg? Did he re-injure his achilles?

Oh come on now, don't compare WWE to a movie about a creepy, obsessed old man making people hurt themselves for his amusement, arbitrarily changing up the rules of the game, and ensuring that ultimately nobody wins.... oh.

It would also be strange if they were (recognized as) full employees, because get the gently caress out of here no company should be allowed to "own" your real name. Like, what the loving fuckity gently caress the loving what the gently caress loving gently caress is that?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I have no idea how real sports work and to what control the teams/league have over those Athletes but (surprise!) they usually have unions are are EXTREMELY well paid at the professional level most of the time.

But WWE is Sports Entertainment, so it'd be like telling Bryan Cranston while he was doing Breaking Bad that he cannot appear in any commercials or other endorsements because it might hurt the Breaking Bad Brand.

The WWE must be jealous of idol culture in Japan and Korea where their company controls literally every single aspect of their life, and scandals like having a boyfriend without permission is grounds to blackball that person from the entertainment industry after dragging them through the mud

in the u.s. there aren't any sports leagues that can block you from making money from being your real self. a team could cut a guy if he doesn't stop endorsing porn or something i guess but wwe is the one who seemingly "needs" all of these 200 people for whatever reason and probably wouldn't get rid of them over it

Well you obviously don't understand what an honor it is to be in the great storied tradition of sports entertainment.

Let me explain. In the before time long long ago there was only chaos and darkness in the territories. Then a man named Vince brought light and order.

This feels very much like a "if they'll let this go by without standing up for themselves, a union's just never gonna happen" point

I know, it's never gonna happen, just saying that not fighting even this would effectively be the nail in the coffin
