WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: BLUE IS THE NEW SALMON, NIA MAKES A PROCLAMATION, INDI STANDS UP TO JADE, HAYES AND KNIGHT, KNIGHT AND LOGAN?, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2024-05-31 21:58:00

Andrade is in LOCKER ROOM and Angel tells him that Andrade embarrassed him.  

Crews attacks Angel from behind and has to be held back by officials.

Kevin says he returned to Smackdown and he went all the way to Saudi Arabia to make sure he had Randy Orton's back.  Over the last few months . . . over the last few years, Randy has had his back and he wanted to make sure that Solo and his crew weren't going to mess with Randy being King of the Ring.  We saw what happened in that match and he didn't lose.  Randy isn't here tonight, he knows that Solo and his little crew are here.  Kevin says he figures that he would be here too.

Paul Heyman makes his way into the ringside area and he introduces himself and he talks about what he has done for Roman over the last four years and what he is doing now for Solo Sikoa.  Paul says he comes out here in that capacity to talk man to man and professional to professional and father to father because there is a mutual interest he can serve.

Kevin tells Paul to get in the ring and get to the point.

Paul says no one wants Roman here tonight than him.  He says you keep calling out Solo and . . . Roman had and has great respect for Kevin.  Everything he went through with Roman was because of how much he respect, admires, and acknowledges Kevin as a threat.  Solo has no respect for Kevin and he has recruited criminals into the Bloodline.  Paul says him and Roman didn't want them in the Bloodline but these are the people you are antagonizing.  They are the blood-thirsty sadistic thugs.  They are not looking for a reason to take you out, but an excuse.  Paul says he likes Kevin in WWE and the people love you in WWE.  If you keep calling out Solo, they ae going to do something bad to you.  Paul says he is begging and pleading with Kevin to back off The Bloodline, please.

Kevin asks if Paul is trying to help him.  What in the last few years makes Paul think that he would put any trust in what comes out of Paul's mouth.  He is not going to fall for that.  He says Paul is pulling the strings because that is what you do.  You went from Brock to Roman and now you moved on to Solo.  Kevin says he doesn't know what this act is about.  Are you trying to put people in fear?   For four years, the Bloodline has given everything to him and he is still here.  That was The Bloodline, Roman, Jimmy, and Jey.  People he respects.  

Solo and those two guys are not the Bloodline.  No one wants them here.  He will keep fighting them and he will do what it takes to get them out of his world.  As far as your help goes, he doesn't want it and doesn't need it.

Paul says maybe he is trying to save him for his kids.  A bad man can't redeem himself?  How many times have you redeemed yourself?  Not Paul Heyman.  He wants Kevin to understand what he is going up against.  He is a Hall of Fame wise man.  Why not listen to him.  Why won't anybody . . . 

Paul accidentally hits Kevin and Paul realizes that he did something wrong, and so is the crowd.

Kevin drops the mic and goes after Paul but Solo's music plays and Kevin stops.

Solo, Tama, and Tanga make their way to the ring.  Solo takes off his jacket.
