Hello Nightly!!! So filling in for tonight. Today was solid. Mainly worked, and it seemed like I had to do all the heavy lifting, as my co-worker seemed to not want to be there tonight.

SmackDown recap & reactions (May 9, 2025): Outta nowhere

Someone threw a bottle at John Cena on Friday Night SmackDown this week. He stopped the ring announcer from doing his bit, made note of it, threw it away with a smug look on his face, and then allowed the ring announcer to continue. The Last Real Champion was here. Whatever would he have to say? “Tomorrow your childhood dies. The reason you’re reduced to throwing empty bottles of beer is because every single one of you knows exactly how important Backlash is.

Dominik Mysterio’s Money in the Bank plan: Dope or dumb?
