Ups & Downs: WWE SmackDown Review (Aug 2) 

When Logan Paul said "That's a crime" I immediately assumed he was making sure Simon Miller didn't miss it for the Crime Counter!"😂😂

Two great lines from the Logan Paul segment. When LA said he was going to get another banner, Paul said, "You got a banner? What are you DJ Khaled - you got another one?" Then when LA said, "Logan Paul's head is so empty they're going to open a Spirit Halloween in there." I was dying laughing.

LA Knight had one of the best burns of all time right there.

I like how LA wrote "Yeah" on that banner, and then decided to carefully outline each letter afterwards.

Jacob Fatu is a beast the finish to the match was so good…

Best unscripted moment: Little Quill Gargano waving "buh-bye" to his daddy... 👋👋😭😭🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤣🤣

I laughed so hard when Logan Paul said "THAT'S A CRIME!" And thought immediately of you chortling over it.

If anyone is an authority on crime, it’s Logan Paul.

Simon….you’re the best i swear!! The number of times i bursted out laughing through out the video.

Solo pulling a Christian Cage 😂

Ups and downs with the right name, now we can look forward to Hot WrestleMania tonight.

Can't wait to hear Simon say how disappointed he is that they let DIY be a transitional champion. Man, DIY lose the title before Theory and The Aussie guy started feuding.

Smackdown go home Show was fun wow we have new tag champions tonight's Summerslam gonna be 🔥

Sad for DIY.

L.A. Knight segment was awesome, he better be walking out the new U.S. champion or we riot Sunday morning!

"Tammy Tonga"?! 🤣🤣 He's bringing Jacob; you're dead, Simon!

I'm not on social media but I'm strongly considering ' FOOT PAGE' 😂

Sunny did that giant banner drop at SummerSlam in the same building in '96; though Bulldog and Owen didn't sabotage it until the following PPV, it is a strange coincidence...

Did he say Pretty Dudley???

9:46 Pretty Dudley!! That must be one of the Dudley’s from their ECW run 😂

Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that the payoff we know we're getting for this boring chapter of the bloodline isn't worth this said boring phase? I think a lot of potential stories are being neglected. And I still don't see anything in Solo. I think he's very lucky to be where he is

remember folks, both DIY dudes were once said to be Triple H guys, now we have'm losing the titles on their first defense after almost a month of getting them. goes to show how there're no guarantees in life or whatever

Tonight Cody vs the Bloodline is gonna be fantastic!

Can we have Devon and Bubba Ray comeback as “Pretty Dudley”?!

If they do make a "Pretty Deadly Musical," Simon should get an audition for a bit role.

No Simon, it couldn't be Elektra Lopez who grabbed Apollo's foot because she was standing right there.

The LA Knight segment was so much better than you made it sound. The fact he said something like "dickhead coming round the corner in" and counted down 3.2.1 and Logan arrived on screen in time made me laugh hard.

new to these videos but these reviews are so much fun!

Im so wondering if we're about to see all Championships change hands for SummerSlam. Wouldn't mind that one bit if so.

Cody and Jacob would’ve been far better for Summerslam. I’ve been saying it since day one; Jacob should’ve been brought in back in 2022 in place of Solo. Side note: they emphasized the fact that Roman feared Solo. I honestly don’t see Roman coming back ready to fight, not only Solo, but the rest of the Bad Bloodline 🤔 Imagine Roman coming out and getting beat up by Tonga 😂

I called it! I knew Tiffany was gonna get a new pink briefcase!….someone give me a cookie 🍪 please!🙏 😂

Oh YEAH, bring on the Slam of the Summer

Good morning, Simon!

These last few weeks have featured many of the stars that will be at the WWE Fan Fanatics huge event on Aug 16-18 in NYC. Very good timing by WWE. I'll be there to meet with Tiffy, Bianca, Jade and LA. Cody, Jey, Liv, Rhea, Drew and some others will also be there. This is a big month for WWE. Good job as always, Simon!

If it’s bloodline rules Cody better have a gameplan

Was a decent show, the crowd was mild for the first 2 matches. But let me tell you the 2 dark matches where fire, Chad vs Bron, then a 8 man tag with judgment day vs awesome truth, Rey mysterio and Jey Uso, we Yeeted for 5 replays of the song, and Rey hit a 619 on the 4 judgment day making it a 2476.

It wasn't Elektra that tripped Baron, Simon. She was stood right there next to him! It was just Berto (I think) who slipped under the ring to grab him after getting knocked down off the other side...

I really hoped Jimmy would return and cost Tama and Fatu . But ah well

One of my favourite moments of this episode was indicative of how over new WWE stars can get so quickly when booked right; When Jacob was shown from the crane-cam walking through the crowd area, everyone stood up and pointed like "OOHH, DAMN! Cody's in trouble now!" Contrary to how things are remembered in hindsight, modern post-kayfabe monsters like Khali, Mark Henry and Umaga specifically, NEVER got that response from fans, who mostly laughed at them. The shot used was the way the WWWF/WWF shot Andre in the 80's, before cutting to the aisle camera...

I felt bad for Baron being relegated to the sidelines of a squash match.

So we'll witness the debut of Solo Sikoa's twin brother: Duo Sikoa!

Hayes and Andrade would make a good tag team. They complement each other well in the ring.

SIMON IS THE BEST, SIMON NUMBER ONE 👏👏

Good that Johnny got his hometown one-man flurry of offense spot in toward the end, after Ciampa was taken out; Vince would have had him get utterly squashed BECAUSE it was his hometown...

I’m half expecting to hear “LA Knight can’t compete for the championship tonight due to him being incarcerated for GTA” at SummerSlam now 😂😂😂

The Bloodline winning the tag team championships just makes it clear that Solo IS NOT winning the championship at Summer Slam.

Great episode of Ups and Downs. I want to give you a Golden Up 👆 sir.

Lol… Simon said “ Andrade reserved a Supplex into the most devastating move in all of sports entertainment” instead of reversed😂 I got a kick out of that

Brown Down:; they put the tag titles on diy then switch them to the Temu bloodline…..

I think Tiffany should hold the briefcase until the Royal Rumble. Nia wins at Summerslam and then gets cashed in on by Tiffany at the Rumble. Then they have a proper match at Mania for the belt.

I was upset when Duo Sokola didn’t appear to interrupt on Solo’s behalf at summerslam

72 specials got me 🤣😂 Jacob is definitely a beast

BLOODLINE RULES IS WHAT AGAIN???

That Blair Davenport DQ was so exhausting to watch

Man, we don't appreciate these little pop culture references from Simon. "Did it again" that made me chuckle

Simon please start a Morally Acceptable Counter

R-Truth and Cena at Mania

In NXT, Ciampa and Gargano chasing the tag titles and coming up short, winning them, losing them and failing to recapture them was a year's worth of highlights - proper long term storytelling where nobody knew when the payoff would come. This led to Ciampa's turn, building to arguably the best story WWE ever told. On the main roster, for some reason HHH decided they should be handed the titles in a throwaway match only to lose them without any ceremony. I used to blame Vince for the main roster failing to utilise NXT talent and failing to tell interesting stories, but now it seems HHH is doing the same.

WWE Rematch Counter: 113

Missed this. I recorded it on Hulu live but after ot was done there was no recording. Did the same last week. So now I'm going to have to watch Smackdown live like I do with Raw because Hulu will let you record them but not watch them later.

When I saw the DIY promo and saw Ciampa kiss the title twice I knew it was all over for them lol, they were really good too

Andrade and Carmelo could have a match every week, for absolutely nothing, and it would be a banger. Logan Paul allowed to tell "a joke about how another man is not his type" after what he said? Really bad Jacob Fatu deserves all the gold in WWE. On the other hand, Solo taking their belts was in poor taste.

I'm waiting for the summer slam video

Gargano is having a rough couple of weeks. His family’s pizza shop burned not too long ago

The Drew/Punk match was very underwhelming for me. Felt like they were holding back.

I will be there tonight I cannot wait I am so jacked and stoked for SummerSlam I was there last night for smackdown and if that's any indication of what tonight's going to be like oh it's going to be epic

SmackDown send-off show 😊

Any time bianca and jade are involved it gets a down for some reason. If you haven't noticed by now if you rake a shot every time they get a down,it would be 1 shot a week.

Liv will be the only one to retain at Summerslam. Watch!

Hot WrestleMania is going to be terrific!

I hate to admit it, and dont know where else to admit it...but Im just not looking forward to Summerslam tonight. It is going to be very heel centric, and predictable. I mean why should I care about a predictable show with bad guys running things

What's the over/ under that we'll see a "Hot Wrestlemania" sign tonight in the crowd???

I'm worried about LA Knight getting one over on Smackdown...because that makes it betting odds that Logan is retaining his title tonight.

Bring back ups and downs for Collision

I think LA knight first Challenger should santos this make more sense..!

It doesn’t surprise me that Bloodline took those tag titles. I knew it all along.

They need to make Solo win the US title in the near future. That would cement him a little more.

The ending made no sense unless Solo takes the title off cody. Taking the titles off DYI this soon if you aren't gonna give the bloodline all of the gold is beyond stupid IMO

FYRE & DAWN WITH DAVENPORT VS JBN

What they did to DIY was garbage but at the same time Jacob Fatu and Tama Tango did something the Islanders couldn't do is win the tag team titles

Why have both the Guerillas of Destiny if you aren't going to use them as a tag team? Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa should've been in the match

for some reason, in my toosie toes, i have a feeling triple H gonna pull a vince and have Logan win cleanly, im hoping thats not the case

3:29 indeed

Hikuleo shows up tonight fersure

Yeah, but are you really all that impressive if you keep beating a guy who always loses??

Kind of sick of seeing the women's tag champs treated like chumps. They didn't even come out second and they're the champs

The bloodline win was bad. Roman is back tonight. It should have been DQ.

Logan knows alot of crime because he defrauding a lot of people currently

poor DIY….they shouldnt win in the 1st place…

One of the most predictable matches...as if the bloodline would've lost the titles. Also wwe doesn't do right by Apollo

"Bloodline Rules" doesn't specify *which* version of The Bloodline can legally be involved; ...if what is expected to happen at SummerSlam happens, they should have Cody brag afterwards in a promo about Solo shooting himself in the foot/falling on his own sword with that stipulation...

For some reason i cant differentiate tribal combat and blood

Was there for the show last night and as a huge Bianca fan I dont understand the direction they are going with her. Sad to see really!

Like someone had thrown up Prime ON a car, right Simon?

Prime drink gets a BROWN DOWN every single time. 🤢

Logan Paul comment I went to Cleveland and I didn’t land on Logan Paul… Me That’s cause you didn’t take his belt off lol

What’s crazy when Logan arrived he threw the 🔑s 2 a dude…. Guess he places them back in the ignition 🤷🏿

I could see it going either way in Solo vs Rhodes tomorrow. It really depends on the timeline that creative has for Rock vs Reigns, if they want to do it at next Wrestlemania I don't think Solo wins and Reigns is the one who ultimately costs him the match. If they're going to hold off until later then Solo wins the title then Roman returns to challenge him for it. I'll go ahead and be that guy and say that unless Reigns is going to work a full time schedule again he doesn't need to be anywhere near the title. No more champions who show up on TV and maybe defend the title once every 3-4 months. And don't go Reigns 2.0 with Solo and do interference wins every defense if they do put the title on him, interference every once in a while is fine but every match is boring and predictable.

Jacob fatu is thr true tribal chief tbh
