K100 with Conan and Disco delivers a candid review of WWE SmackDown from April 24, 2026, dissecting both the highs and lows of the episode. The hosts praise Jacob Fatu’s compelling push, particularly his standout segment where he single-handedly dismantled the MFTs (Tonga Loa, Solo, and the Usos), calling it a star-making moment that elevated his credibility as a future top star. They also highlight the comedic chemistry of Dan Houser and Miz, the entertaining vignettes, and Cody Rhodes’ fiery promo targeting TKO. However, they heavily criticize the show’s lazy booking, especially the recurring trend of matches being booked on the spot with no buildup—calling it a regression to house show-level storytelling. The hosts express concern over the abrupt removal of Fatal Influence from the main event picture despite a strong debut, and question the narrative direction of Tiffany Stratton, now U.S. Champion, possibly signaling a shift in her long-term role. Despite these issues, the episode’s momentum and Jacob’s rise make it compelling enough to draw non-viewers in, earning a C-grade overall.
Jacob Fatu’s solo victory over the MFTs was a pivotal, star-making moment that solidified his future as a top-tier champion.
WWE’s reliance on impromptu match bookings undermines storytelling and feels lazy compared to past writing standards.
The comedic elements (Dan Houser, Miz, Trick Williams, Gingerbread Man) are fun but risk overshadowing serious storylines.
Tiffany Stratton’s shift to U.S. Champion may signal a long-term repositioning, possibly due to her stated desire for acting opportunities.
Fatal Influence’s strong debut was undermined by their quick exit, raising questions about their future in the storylines.
