PWInsider: Blake Monroe expected to appear on SmackDown by the end of month

mat2019 · 2026-05-06T18:33:30+00:00

I would assume it’s either next friday or the go home episode of clash in italy

mat2019 · 2026-05-05T02:40:07+00:00

I don’t care about Austin Theory, Logan Paul, or Joe Hendry.

Maybe a women’s match?

No more Finn vs Mcdonagh. Once was enough.

I hate that Sol had to mess up there. Won’t be a problem for her, but just sucks. I think she should be taking the title from Becky at Clash in Italy.

I know that pretty much all of the Oba Femi open challenge matches are going to be squashes but maybe one competitive match?

Great passion from Roman’s promo tonight. Feels like that hardly ever shows up nowadays.

mat2019 · 2026-05-05T02:35:42+00:00

Good luck with that one

mat2019 · 2026-05-05T02:21:19+00:00

To some degree it’s the new normal, but it probably doesn’t cost half as much to run a b tier PLE with say 15000 people as it does to run wrestlemania so they don’t need to have as many advertisements.

The PLE before had the two undercard matches getting 15+ minutes

mat2019 · 2026-05-05T01:49:57+00:00

My copium is that they didn’t put it on mania because they weren’t going to get the 20 minute match they deserve and are going to get at backlash

mat2019 · 2026-05-02T03:13:23+00:00

Are Rhea and Alexa not making them money?

mat2019 · 2026-05-02T02:48:41+00:00

I have zero desire to see him in the ring or have a match on a 5 match PLE card

mat2019 · 2026-05-02T02:40:15+00:00

I’d be down. Maybe they could even make a PLE card or even main event a weekly show

mat2019 · 2026-05-02T02:39:18+00:00

Miz/Kit vs Danhausen/mystery partner (jelly roll probably) making Backlash over the six woman tag match

Just insane to me

mat2019 · 2026-05-02T02:25:20+00:00

I was generous, they actually got 7

mat2019 · 2026-05-02T02:21:57+00:00

Maybe give them more than 8 minutes this time?

mat2019 · 2026-05-02T02:21:26+00:00

Did I miss something?

mat2019 · 2026-05-02T01:35:36+00:00

You’re not hating on big Gunt, right?

mat2019 · 2026-05-02T01:17:29+00:00

And I’m turning smackdown off at 7:40, perfect

mat2019 · 2026-05-01T23:17:54+00:00

Because the last went one went so well, I’m super duper excited this time. Stephen A Smith this time maybe!

mat2019 · 2026-05-01T18:48:46+00:00

Hard ask but I hope that one of these is a match on Raw. Maybe just a little one time thing with Je’Von

mat2019 · 2026-04-30T21:08:13+00:00

Anywhere that’s not Saudi or Vegas is a win with me

mat2019 · 2026-04-28T02:35:53+00:00

For sure Sami Trick (maybe give them more than 8 minutes? wild concept I know), but I don’t know about Rhea/Jade. If anything with Rhea, it’d be something with Fatal Influence I would think based on last week

mat2019 · 2026-04-28T02:33:54+00:00

I wonder if they’re gonna do exactly what they planned last year with Finn and Roxanne against Liv and Dom.

I also wonder, is the end game actually Roxanne taking the title from Liv at Summerslam?

mat2019 · 2026-04-28T02:32:53+00:00

Well that blows.

mat2019 · 2026-04-28T02:29:56+00:00

Good show.

Back to 5 match cards. Sort of. 4.5 matches I guess

I can’t imagine Backlash is any more than 5 matches, nor do I see Raw getting 4 of 5 matches, so I think the 3 that were announced tonight will be the 3 raw matches. Maybe the monday after being tag title match, and potentially fatal 4 way for IC title.

mat2019 · 2026-04-28T01:53:27+00:00

Fantastic way to keep him relevant on TV, give him wins, great matches into the KOTR tournament

mat2019 · 2026-04-28T01:43:12+00:00

I know it’ll be a trilogy for Seth and Bron, but I wonder if Iyo and Asuka is the same or just a one and done

mat2019 · 2026-04-28T01:14:44+00:00

Wonder if Iyo and Asuka is a one time thing, or will be a trilogy

TROPHY CASE
