Welcome to part two of our SmackDown review, where we break down everything that went down on the May 2 episode—including the shocking reappearance of Nia Jax! She vanished from TV for weeks, and now she's back, whether you like it or not (spoiler: most people do not). We also discuss the big news that Backlash will feature a Fatal 4-Way for the US Title, meaning at least three people are guaranteed to lose!On top of that, we dive into the state of WWE's tag team division—are they thriving, struggling, or just waiting for someone to remember they exist? And speaking of tag teams, could a Lucha Bros reunion actually happen in WWE? We break it all down, along with every wild moment SmackDown threw at us this week.Join us for hot takes, questionable booking decisions, and the eternal mystery of why WWE just refuses to chill.
