WWE Friday Night Smackdown came in hot in their live broadcast on August 23, 2024. Broadcasting from the nation's capital, Washington DC, the event at the Capital One Arena was sold out, continuing the brand's strong streak through the last few years.

Hear his thoughts on the dark matches, the arena food, his favorite and least favorite moments and the Temu Bloodline!
