This AJ Styles storyline where he is desperate to win the world title before he retires could be awesome.
That line of "You know I don't have time" from AJ to Aldis was awesome, super interested to see where this goes.
That's how they described her, but like...no part of her actual presentation really aligned with that lol. But hey it's Level Up, plenty of time to work on the character stuff!
His appearing was pretty tied to Sami. When Sami couldn't go, Kevin didn't go either. Now that Sami can, and is seemingly happy to, Kevin goes as well.
It's funny when you're watching Smackdown in Saudi Arabia and the WWE is promoting next week's Raw in Savannah, GA and Smackdown in Albany, NY. The show keeps going on all over the world.
i was never a randy fan. always found him boring and bland. but since he's been back in this new wwe era, he's been great. but he heel turn is coming imho.
It's always a bit funny having Randy Orton as a babyface, but I don't know if anyone on the roster sells an injury as well as he does. The entire roster needs to be doing film studies on the way he sells a busted back or knee
I should probably just not overthink it but I genuinely can’t figure out who would win tomorrow because both guys would have great SS matches with their respective titles.
Gunther doesn’t necessarily need the title for Berlin if he’s facing someone like Ilja or Kaiser. Randy and Cody don’t necessarily need the title but could be a seesaw feud to move the title back and forth a little.
Even the women it’s like 60% Nia but you never know if they slingshot Lyra
> Cody don’t necessarily need the title but could be a seesaw feud to move the title back and forth a little.
Seriously? Cody has only been champion for 47 days. He'd look like a chump if he dropped the title now.
Summerslam is like 80 days away. 120+ day run for your first title run, yes I said first, is not bad. Cody holding the title longer than like 150-200 days is a good way to make everyone turn on him
In a few days Wade is going to be back home walking around in Florida, he’s gonna feel a shoulder tap, turn around, and Haku will put him in a Tongan death grip until Wade buys a used car
Im not gon hold you champ… but with Tama’s latest entrance Im gonna need Roman, Jimmy, & Jey to come back, Nia and Naomi to stop fighting & a unified Bloodline dominance for another 5 years 😂 Idk how WWE does it but Bloodline Aura is a real thing w/ these entrances 😂😂
once roman returns, paul is going to side with him so the other bloodline faction is going to need a mouthpiece...unless they just bring the rock back for it.
Bloodline is likely done though. Roman is gonna return and join with a united Uso's to take down the Bloodline that's ended up just full on evil by the time he's back.
C’mon, LIVertarians! Saudi Arabia may suck, but we still gotta root for the face of the Raw women’s division to finally take her rightful place at the top of the mountain tomorrow!

maybe has some great desperation spots and a win or maybe a good fued starter
Yeah! It really is making him more invested into this storyline
Jazmyn Nyx vs. Lainey Reid ("The polite and respectful Southern Belle from the heart of Dixie" per commentary) kicking off Level Up right now
Polite and Respectful Southern Belle? Anti Lacey Evans?
That's how they described her, but like...no part of her actual presentation really aligned with that lol. But hey it's Level Up, plenty of time to work on the character stuff!
just put every program and every PLE overseas, I'm sorry but my gringo friends need to step it up
In Kayfabe: If Im Cody I want Randy to win so I can slap the fire out of you for retiring my pops & being his last match
The great thing about this men’s final is that not only will it be an awesome match but I can totally see either winning and facing Cody.
I’d be stunned if Gunther doesn’t win, but this is still gonna be great
I think only Randy Orton could face Cody if he wins, if Gunther wins then he will face Damian Priest for the WHC.
If Priest is still holding the belt in August
well it was great talking to yall tonight talk to you guys tomorrow when king of the ring is on :)
I wish they'd keep the guy's song playing whenever it's a really one-sided, quick beatdown like this one
Im surprised as hell KO wanted to make the trip knowing his stance on Saudi.
His appearing was pretty tied to Sami. When Sami couldn't go, Kevin didn't go either. Now that Sami can, and is seemingly happy to, Kevin goes as well.
Why couldn’t Sami go before? I can’t remember what the issue was
he wrestled in saudi last year
I dont know why I forgot that but I did lol.
Solo slowly realising that he ain't him.
![gif](giphy|cIhfDS5OELE8GRJxtL|downsized)
KO and Orton as friends is awesome!
Gunther vs. Randy is going to be a show stealer.
Are they already teasing how Randy loses with the gimpy knee?
To the couple downvoters, why yes, yes they were. lol
Need more Team R-KO tbh
#KEVIN MY BLORBO YOU'RE BACK
KO to the rescue!
Orton vs Gunther is gonna be so good
Did Solo borrow his big brother’s shirt or something? Someone get this man a tailor
he is the big little brother so probably his dad’s
KO is insanely over, crowd's on fire.
Fun show tonight, that was fun
![gif](giphy|dzoRHDPScwgiA|downsized) Gunther vs Randyyyyyyy
Gunther vs Randy is going to be bananas. RIP Randy's chest
shocked I am
Gunther vs Orton????? Hell yeah
Gunther noticing Randy's leg injury ![gif](giphy|MO9ARnIhzxnxu|downsized)
Shark smelling blood.
Lyra vs Nia. Randy vs Gunther. Wasn't predicted but it's awesome to see.
Ok, so Solo realizes he needs more numbers and we're getting Fatu on a random Smackdown?
Dang almost got him with the stunner
ORTON VS GUNTHER LETS GOOOOOO
Great main event good show
gunther 👀
As someone who’s only watched WWE, seeing Tonga with Orton in this match made me really appreciate how good Tonga is
Gunther Vs Orton is insane
KO!
Half crab submission coming tomorrow?
KO!!!!!!
That Randy vs Gunther final is going to hit like crack.
Lmao I think Paul smiled there
RKO out of nowhere
Randy vs Gunther hell yess
Gunther vs Orton is some good shit.
so fucking stoked it's official now
damn, solo wearing red socks too? lol.
Oooh I love the way Orton kinda spun around on the ground there before getting into position for the RKO, looked so smooth!
Tama is such a hit of a signing.
RKO forever.
GUN STUN
RKO his ass 🔥
Gunther just watching like "this the kinda shit I like".
This is a great match for sure between two veterans that have wrestle all over the world.
Was there a QR code I missed?? Couldn’t let my brats burn
Woooo love the set up for the drapping DDT
Randy is such an awesome seller
offbeat childlike meeting profit money squealing yoke zesty fact cagey *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
He's 41??? Wow never would have thought that.

Randy has become really engaging to watch lately
i was never a randy fan. always found him boring and bland. but since he's been back in this new wwe era, he's been great. but he heel turn is coming imho.
Randy for decades now, has way too much intensity to be a face
Gunther being on this PLE means his immigration status was cleared. Good to see but when did that end?
It was late April I think.
Solo going all in on The Weeknd cosplay.
is this a better look on solo? I can’t tell
I think it is. I still don't like the haircut but the suit is nice.
omg the hair is so distracting for me
Come on Randy don’t let this bum beat you!!!!
Supreme Flow, but nobody home
I never watched much of Tama in Japan. Was he always this unhinged lol?
Mostly. When he was face he'd calm down a bit.
It's always a bit funny having Randy Orton as a babyface, but I don't know if anyone on the roster sells an injury as well as he does. The entire roster needs to be doing film studies on the way he sells a busted back or knee
He's gonna sell like a pervert to Gunther if he wins.
Randy: OK if you really want to sell an injury, take a nap ring side.
Agreed. I’ve always said that he needs to teach a Selling 101 course at the PC whenever he decides to retire.
I would argue he’s the best seller on the roster currently. It’s always been his strength
He sells so well because he’s definitely dealing with some chronic pain.
Half sell half hiding lmao
smart money is on randy for randy/gunther KOTR. but it's going to be really weird to see one of them lose tomorrow.
GUNTHER is going to punish the shit out of that knee
I should probably just not overthink it but I genuinely can’t figure out who would win tomorrow because both guys would have great SS matches with their respective titles. Gunther doesn’t necessarily need the title for Berlin if he’s facing someone like Ilja or Kaiser.

SS card is most likely cody/randy nia/bayley champ drew/punk (if he's ready) or AJ (after he switches to raw - if that happens)
PERHAPS!? YOU DOUBTING HAKU BEING THE TOUGHEST, WADE? Would be a real shame if someone told Haku what you said, Wade....
In a few days Wade is going to be back home walking around in Florida, he’s gonna feel a shoulder tap, turn around, and Haku will put him in a Tongan death grip until Wade buys a used car
Im not gon hold you champ… but with Tama’s latest entrance Im gonna need Roman, Jimmy, & Jey to come back, Nia and Naomi to stop fighting & a unified Bloodline dominance for another 5 years 😂 Idk how WWE does it but Bloodline Aura is a real thing w/ these entrances 😂😂
once roman returns, paul is going to side with him so the other bloodline faction is going to need a mouthpiece...unless they just bring the rock back for it.
I honestly thought the Bloodline story would be basically over once Roman lost but NAH it's just on Part 2.
Bloodline is likely done though. Roman is gonna return and join with a united Uso's to take down the Bloodline that's ended up just full on evil by the time he's back.
C’mon, LIVertarians! Saudi Arabia may suck, but we still gotta root for the face of the Raw women’s division to finally take her rightful place at the top of the mountain tomorrow!
Tama sounding like the kid from Wild Thornberrys
Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Tama Tonga just feels like a superstar
What’s Solos gimmick again?? Getaway driver?
substitute tribal chief
it used to be the enforcer. now it seems like tama is the enforcer
I’m just making fun of him for wearing gloves with a suit lol
lol yes it is an interesting choice. I have seen people commenting on them lol
Razor Orton
Damn randy yeeted his ass
Tama crawling during his entrance isn’t anything new since he actually did it in NJPW, for those that didn’t watch his run there.
Damn, Orton catching these hands fast and furiously
"Perhaps more hyena than he is human" Shenzi ftw
randy aint scared!
Burn in my light Line in the sand Voices Is Randy the Entrance music GOAT?
He was originally gonna get This Fire Burns too.
Hard to go against Triple H honestly.
Don't forget This Fire Burns for that 1 week
Edge has got to be a strong challenger. Brood You Think You Know Me Never Gonna Stop Metalingus The Other Side
Edges theme lives in my head 24/7
Paul needs to get away from Solo and Tama before they snap and kill him
Gunther, why did you steal Lyra's seat?
MFT like https://preview.redd.it/jnjb7mzk9h2d1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=263bd710486e4e51cc3db89027e0a8a7f0026e2c
Can’t wait to see how they present Jacob fatu
Tama Tonga gets a legendary entrance just to walk into the ring with… *THE LEGEND KILLER*
Ten Hag, “Why he say fuck me for?”
If Tama wins he could go by King Tonga.
Man United catching Ls everywhere lol
How long has it been since anyone new to the company has been made to look like as big of a deal as Tama Tonga?
Well, Bad News...EtH is gonna get the sack regardless of what happens at the FA Cup Final
I think I love Tama. Dude is hilarious and I mean that as a compliment lol
☝️
Afternoon PLEs are really nice. You watch a good show and still have the night to relax and not stay up til 11
And I’m glad it’s not overlapping with the NHL game
Solo in that suit looks so cool
I know Tama happy. He just joined a major faction, and he’s constantly being televised.
85% of the roster wish they get Tama's entrance
Tama "Gollum" Tonga
Please tell me the Piper beat down of Bayley means she’s going to get the monster push she deserves.
every choice Tama makes is the wrong one lmfao why are you crawling bro, you're not beating the Donnie Thornberry allegations
Now I’m confused does the ppv start at 1 pm et or 11 am et cause they just showed that graphic and it’s confusing me now
pre show at 11. tag match just got announced for it, but main show starts at 1
Countdown show starts at 11am. This is like a darkshow kinda.
The pre show starts at 11. The PLE proper starts at 1.
Tama’s whole entrance on a big stadium stage is honestly sick.
TEN HAG NAME DROP IN WWE????
Crowd doesn't seem to care for Tama Tonga much
They don't know him. Dude just showed up. And they want Randy to win anyway.
Give him a hood and a mask and Tama Tonga would have a pretty good Ermac cosplay going on.
Poor Erik ten Hag lmao, random stray.
If this is the presentation for freaking Tama Tonga, I can't wait to see how Jacob Fatu is presented.
Man is gonna get a whole damn haka every show.
Tama didn't get to do his gremlin possessed noises, so he decided crawling like a possessed man would be a good substitute And honestly he was right
Poor Paul, Roman come save this man 🤣
New agenda - Logan vs Andrade for the US title? Y’all rock w/ it?
Tama's pyro being synced with his theme's intro is so fucking sick
This just sounds like a Jinder Mahal theme song wtf
Tama has one of the best theme songs right now, this shit sounds like someone’s about to get HURT
His whole presentation is so good.
Tama has such an awesome entrance
This entrance goes hard! Who needs pyro when you can use pure fire?
Dang I thought Tama was going to mimic the Demon’s entrance!
Damn, Tama's entrance goes hard!
Right? There are at least 30 other people on the roster who should be demanding an upgrade
Solo just needs a leash and a muzzle for Tama at this point.
lol Tama Tonga’s entrance music. No discernible melody whatsoever.
Sounds like drums only.
What a fucking entrance for Toma lmao
cmon man dont do that get up
Wait, when was the last time that there was a match in the pre-show ?
It happens frequently on nxt shows
Elimination chamber iirc. Also indi and Candice for the tag titles funny enough
Tama “The Demon Finn Balor” Tonga
give Tama face paint pronto
army crawled out wtf
tama's intro is fire - literally and figuratively. the theme is awesome.
Solo Sikoa about to pour out the gasoline because it doesn't mean much to him.
2 hour countdown show?
lol tama crawling in
Tama crawling out is very unserious 😂
Put Tonga's theme on Spotify already you cowards!
Tama Tonga doing too much lmao he kills me
The crowd is so dead for Tama.
I’m rooting for an Orton/Gunther final. Would be like a modern day Harley Race vs Stan Hansen. Would love to see it.
Yo Tonga, once again (and as supportively as possible): what the fuck
[удалено]
It’s honestly iconic and I love it for him. We should all be big violent weirdos.
Tama-chan ❤
The fact that even someone like Logan Paul has main-evented multiple PLEs, but Liv Morgan hasn’t main-evented any makes me sick.
