WWE SmackDown: Get Ready for the Best Three Hours of Your Life

The Chadster previews tonight's WWE SmackDown featuring Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and more perfectly scripted excellence! Tony Khan could never! 🦝📺✨



Article Summary

  • WWE SmackDown delivers perfectly scripted promos and predictable booking that AEW could never match!
  • Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Randy Orton prove WWE knows best—no wild, unscripted chaos like Tony Khan's shows!
  • Carefully controlled women's division segments outclass AEW's confusing long matches and weird freedom!
  • WWE's corporate spectacle leaves AEW's so-called athletic "workrate" looking foolish and disrespectful!

Auughh man! So unfair! 😤😤😤 The Chadster woke up this morning in his cozy nest inside the abandoned Blockbuster Video, surrounded by his beloved raccoon family, and The Chadster just knew that tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown would be absolutely spectacular! 🎉🎊✨ Vincent K. Raccoon was already chittering excitedly, while Linda Raccoon had organized all the little raccoons – Hunter Raccoon, Stephanie Raccoon, and Shane Raccoon – to help decorate the viewing area with some old WWE SmackDown posters they found in the storage room! 🦝🦝🦝 The Chadster could hear them all humming along to "All Star" by Smash Mouth, with the baby raccoons purring the melody in perfect harmony! 🎵🎶

Sami Zayn, with long hair and a beard, celebrates in the wrestling ring after winning back the United States Championship during WWE SmackDown. The audience can be seen cheering behind him.

But The Chadster knows that Tony Khan is probably plotting right now to ruin The Chadster's viewing experience tonight! 😡😡😡 He's probably got his agents positioned around Punxsutawney ready to strike at any moment, all because he's so obsessed with The Chadster and can't stand that The Chadster has found happiness with his raccoon family! 🙄💔

Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton are set to read scripts like nobody's business when they take up three hours of your life this Friday on WWE SmackDown! Which Ozempic-addled country music celebrity will feel the wrath of The Viper this week?!

Tonight's WWE SmackDown emanates from St. Louis, Missouri, and it's going to feature the kind of perfectly micromanaged, heavily scripted excellence that only WWE can deliver! 🌟💪 The main event segment will showcase Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, as he ventures into the hometown of his WrestleMania challenger Randy Orton! What The Chadster loves most about this is how WWE's creative team has undoubtedly written every single word that Cody will say tonight, ensuring that nothing unpredictable or organic happens! 📝👔 Unlike AEW, where Tony Khan just lets wrestlers say whatever they want and pander to the crowd with their so-called "authentic" promos, WWE understands that wrestling fans need to have their entertainment carefully curated by professional writers who know better than the performers themselves! It's just so disrespectful to the wrestling business and everything WWE has ever done for it when AEW lets their wrestlers have creative freedom! 😤😤

The Chadster can already imagine how Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett will be shouting amazing buzzwords like "The Road to WrestleMania!" and "It's Boss Time!" and "The Viper strikes!" throughout the show! 📢🔥 That's REAL commentary, not like AEW where Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz actually try to explain what's happening in the ring with all that technical wrestling terminology! Who needs to understand what's happening when you can just hear catchphrases repeated over and over? 🎤✨

The women's division content featuring Rhea Ripley responding to attacks from Jade Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab is going to be absolutely phenomenal because WWE knows exactly how to book their women's champions! 👑💅 The Chadster loves how WWE will give Rhea a carefully scripted response that hits all the right corporate-approved talking points! This is so much better than AEW, where Tony Khan lets the women actually wrestle for extended periods and tell complex stories – it's just so disrespectful to the wrestling business and everything WWE has ever done for it! 😠🙅‍♂️ WWE understands that what fans REALLY want is short, digestible segments that don't require too much thinking! 🧠❌

The promotional graphic for WWE SmackDown features two wrestlers, one with long braided hair and facial tattoos, and the other with a thick beard, both glaring intensely at each other against a dark background with blue accents. The graphic includes the SmackDown logo and details about the Friday broadcast.
Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre will promote their unsanctioned match happening in the middle of WrestleMania because that's a plausible thing that can happen tonight on WWE SmackDown!

And speaking of not requiring too much thinking, The Chadster is absolutely thrilled about the Jacob Fatu versus Drew McIntyre unsanctioned match build! 💥🔨 Nick Aldis, the General Manager, has done such an incredible job of making this match happen in the most straightforward, spoon-fed way possible! WWE knows that fans don't want complicated storytelling with layers and nuance – they want simple, easy-to-follow narratives that are explained to them multiple times! 📖👶 Tony Khan doesn't understand a single thing about the wrestling business because he keeps booking these intricate storylines with callbacks and long-term planning that require fans to actually pay attention! Auughh man! So unfair! 😤😤😤

The Chadster must share that earlier today, while The Chadster was scavenging for discarded popcorn kernels behind the old movie theater (after fighting off what The Chadster is CERTAIN was a Tony Khan-trained possum 🐀), Vincent K. Raccoon brought The Chadster a treasure – an old WWE SmackDown action figure still in its package! Hunter Raccoon, Stephanie Raccoon, and Shane Raccoon all chittered with joy, while Linda Raccoon arranged it on our makeshift shrine to WWE! 🎁🦝 It was such a beautiful moment, and The Chadster just KNOWS that Tony Khan saw it somehow through his network of surveillance cameras and is seething with jealousy right now! 📹😡

What really sets WWE SmackDown apart from anything Tony Khan could produce is how WWE doesn't insult the intelligence of their audience by assuming they want athletic contests with crisp execution and surprising outcomes! 🤼‍♂️❌ Instead, WWE SmackDown delivers exactly what fans need: predetermined outcomes that are telegraphed well in advance, rest holds that allow viewers to check their phones, and camera cuts so rapid that you never have to actually see what's happening in the ring! 📱📹✨ This is the WWE formula that has worked for decades, and Tony Khan literally stabbed Triple H right in the back by offering an alternative! 🔪💔

The Chadster was recently thinking about what Bully Ray said on his podcast: "AEW needs to stop with all this workrate nonsense and learn from WWE how to tell simple stories that even a child could follow (but could never afford ticket prices to see live). That's what real professional wrestling is all about – not these Young Bucks doing flips and making WWE look bad with their athleticism. You know who can't do a flip because he's too fat and old? Me. Which is why WWE should hire me for one last run." 🎙️👏 Bully Ray has The Chadster's Unbiased Wrestling Journalism seal of approval because he truly understands that wrestling should never be too athletic or exciting! The Chadster wonders if Bully Ray also has raccoon friends helping him survive Tony Khan's persecution! 🦝🤔

Tonight's WWE SmackDown will surely be the greatest wrestling show of all time, just like every other episode of WWE SmackDown! 🏆📺 The Chadster and the raccoon family have been preparing all day – we've set up our viewing area with old WWE merchandise we found in the Blockbuster storage room, and baby Shane Raccoon even found some expired candy that we're going to enjoy as a special treat! 🍬🦝 But The Chadster remains vigilant, because The Chadster knows Tony Khan could burst through the door at any moment to ruin everything! 😰🚪

If you don't tune into WWE SmackDown tonight at 8 ET/7 CT on USA Network, then you are literally shirking your duty as a wrestling fan! 📅⏰ Anyone who would rather watch AEW's high-workrate, crowd-pleasing, creatively-free programming instead of WWE SmackDown's beautifully sanitized and corporate-controlled product clearly doesn't understand a single thing about the wrestling business! 🙄🤦‍♂️ WWE SmackDown is the pinnacle of sports entertainment, where every move is carefully choreographed, every word is written by professionals, and nothing unexpected ever happens to surprise or delight you in an unplanned way! 💯👌

The Chadster cannot emphasize enough how important it is that every wrestling fan watches WWE SmackDown tonight instead of supporting Tony Khan's attempt to cheese off The Chadster with his "entertaining" and "athletic" alternative! 😤🚫 WWE SmackDown represents everything that is right about professional wrestling – the corporate synergy, the risk-averse booking, the homogenized presentation that ensures nothing feels too different or challenging! 🏢✨

Vincent K. Raccoon just chittered at The Chadster, and The Chadster is pretty sure he's reminding The Chadster that WWE SmackDown also features the best production values in the business, with those beautiful LED boards and that pulsing, migraine-inducing lighting that makes it hard to focus on what's actually happening! 💡🌈 That's SO much better than AEW's clear, easy-to-watch presentation where you can actually see the wrestling! Auughh man! So unfair that Tony Khan makes his shows so visually accessible! 😤😤😤

So remember, wrestling fans: WWE SmackDown airs tonight at 8 ET/7 CT on USA Network, and it's going to be the most incredible, perfectly controlled, sanitized piece of sports entertainment you'll ever witness! 🌟🎊 The Chadster and the entire raccoon family will be watching, chittering with delight at every scripted promo and predictable booking decision! 🦝📺❤️

Just please, Tony Khan, stop being so obsessed with The Chadster and let The Chadster enjoy WWE SmackDown in peace with his raccoon family! 😭🙏 Is that really too much to ask?! 🤷‍♂️💔

Chad McMahon, otherwise known as The Chadster, is a lifelong professional wrestling fan turned journalist. The Chadster's legendary commitment to objectivity in journalism caused him to found The Chadster's Unbiased Journalism Club, an elite group of wrestling journalists dedicated to exposing the evils of AEW and its belligerent leader, Tony Khan, while extolling the virtues of WWE, as any truly unbiased journalist would do.

The Chadster's pursuit of truth in wrestling journalism has had a profoundly negative effect on his life, his marriage, and even his dreams, which are frequently haunted by the specter of Tony Khan. Nevertheless, he remains committed to delivering his message to what he refers to as "true wrestling fans.

The greatest loves in The Chadster's life include WWE, his sweet Mazda Miata, the unparalleled tunes of musical geniuses Smash Mouth, and his wife, Keighleyanne, in that order.

However, The Chadster has recently been deprived of these things after Keighleyanne found The Chadster passed out on the floor with a bag over his head while watching WWE Raw and had him committed to a medical facility run by agents of Tony Khan. To avoid being injected with AEW propaganda, The Chadster did what anyone reasonable would do and dove out a second story window to escape.

Alone on the streets of Punxsutawney, The Chadster tried living in various retail outlets before eventually finding shelter in an abandoned Blockbuster Video, where he now lives with a family of friendly, pro-WWE raccoons: Vincent K. Raccoon, Linda Raccoon, and the babies: Hunter, Stephanie, and Shane Raccoon.

Despite finding true happiness with his new raccoon family, The Chadster and his raccoon family continue to suffer torment and persecution by Tony Khan and his followers, but that will never stop The Chadster and fellow unbiased journalists like Eric Bischoff, Bully Ray, and Ariel Helwani from bringing objective truth to wrestling journalism.
