Are we going to get John Cena vs. Samoa Joe at WrestleMania this year? Seems like it after this week's Smackdown Live. But, maybe we're just fantasy booking things. Maybe. A bit of a lacklustre show this week with not a whole lot to talk about, and yet somehow Luke and Oli still manage it.

The Ronda/Becky storyline took another unnecessary turn this week, as it slowly becomes the Vince McMahon/Bret Hart match for a new generation. Still, Roman Reigns is back and that still feels nice! Not only that but The Shield are back together, and it looks like Black/Ricochet are getting some sort of storyline!

What a wild and crazy storyline! Vince McMahon just announced that Becky Lynch won't be in a match against Ronda Rousey and instead it will be Charlotte. No wait, it was that same angle but with Kofi instead of Becky, Daniel Bryan instead of Ronda and Kevin Owens instead of Charlotte. All on the same page? Good. Well strap in as you're going to get Luke and Laurie do the intro and outro, but Oli Davis do the Smackdown review with Luke. We're just as bad as WWE, I guess. Also Laurie gives his thoughts on Pokemon Sword and Shield. So that's nice.

Yes that's right, Oli Davis wanted to talk about SPOILER returning to WWE rather than Roman Reigns being medically cleared. The monster. Though Luke and Oli do talk about that as they break down a mixed bag episode of Raw, with a lot of great but also a lot of fluff. Bad fluff too.

**THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED BEFORE WWE ANNOUNCED THE RETURN OF ROMAN REIGNS** What a crazy week this was for WWE!

Cor blimey! There was only a bloomin' title change on NXT this week! How will this affect the main roster call ups of Johnny Gargano, Ricochet, Aleister Black and Tommaso Ciampa? Well, probably not seen as though none of that has made sense so far. Luke and Laurie review this week's NXT including a great match between Black and Roderick Strong and a not so good match between Mia Yim and Xia Li.
