🤦 WWE SMACKDOWN WAS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT?! | OCTOBER 16, 2026

What did Eric ever do to deserve THIS?! 🎂😴 This week's WWE SmackDown was only made bearable because my good friend Eric, the former Raw Dog, stopped by to hang out and celebrate his birthday! Unfortunately, WWE apparently decided the best birthday present was two hours of absolute NOTHING!

💥 Seriously, WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS SHOW?! One good line doesn't make an entire show! They don't call him Johnny Entrance, and they certainly don't call this episode of SmackDown Entertaining! Instead of building excitement for an upcoming Premium Live Event that might not even happen, WWE seemed completely lost! Endless recaps, matches with bizarre endings, and enough filler to make you wonder if the creative team even bothered showing up!

🤷 It felt like WWE didn't know what to do with this episode, so they just threw together a bunch of highlights and hoped nobody would notice! Well, WE NOTICED!

🔥 WHY DOES WWE HATE ERIC SO MUCH?! The man just wanted to enjoy his birthday, hang out with a friend, and watch some decent wrestling. WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!

👇 WAS THIS ONE OF THE WORST SMACKDOWNS OF THE YEAR?! Did WWE actually accomplish anything, or were they just killing time? And most importantly, WHAT DID ERIC DO TO DESERVE THIS?! Drop your thoughts in the comments!

As we watched SmackDown on Dolly Parton Day, we talk a little about our 9-5 jobs.

SmackDown this week was uninspired.

It’s probably not worth your time.

And if you listened to last week’s show…Brad was right.
