WWE SmackDown, Raw, Dynamite, NXT plus O'Shea's New 'Idiots' Movie | No-Contest Wrestling

No Contest Wrestling opened with an admission: the hosts missed Monday Night Raw. They had a decent excuse. O'Shea Jackson Jr. was at the premiere of his new movie, and TJ drove an hour and 20 minutes to Eagle Rock to sit with him.

Idiots arrives in theaters August 28. Jackson co-leads with Dave Franco, alongside Mason Thames, Kiernan Shipka, Peter Dinklage and Nicholas Braun, in a hard-R road-trip comedy about two strangers hired to haul a billionaire's son across state lines to rehab. The script was written more than a decade ago, which Jackson thinks explains the old-school flavor. IFC planned on 600 theaters and pushed it to 1,400 once the buzz landed.

Jackson does not hedge on it. "Idiots is the best comedy of 2026," he said. "I ain't never did that for none of my movies." He also went somewhere new emotionally in the role, drawing on losing both grandmothers and an uncle who traveled with him to every set, then had to hit those notes with chaos exploding around him. "It's really hard to cry when everybody's being funny."

Then, wrestling. SmackDown delivered on a prediction made a week earlier: once Kevin Owens became the number one contender, he and CM Punk were going to get ugly on the microphone. The read from the show is that the animosity is not entirely manufactured, and that the two are heading toward more than a one-off. The match is set for a SmackDown in Toronto rather than a premium live event, which drew a shrug and a fair point. Punk won that title on a random Raw in Chicago, so the precedent exists.

One booking decision got flagged hard. Fatal Influence beat interim women's champion Chelsea Green and United States champion Tiffany Stratton in a tag match, and Green took the pin. "They seem to love when they get a brand new champion and the next time we see them having them eat an L," went the complaint, and it got worse when Green came out of it with a broken orbital bone that now puts her title status in question.

Nikki Bella's explanation for turning on Paige did not survive scrutiny either. She blamed Paige for the tag title loss and for her sister getting hurt, except Nikki was the one who made the call asking Paige to fill in, and Paige is the one who scored the pin that won the belts. Paige has plenty of rebuttal loaded.

Raw brought Solo out singing Jay Uso's music, and the verdict was that Solo is simply too funny to contain, with Jay visibly fighting off a smile at his little brother. Jimmy interfered, Jay won, and Solo appears headed back into a Bloodline that, with Jacob Fatu in the fold, is deeper than it has ever been.

Also on Raw: Penta beat Laredo Kid in the world title number one contenders tournament in front of a crowd that never woke up, Dragon Lee beat Dominik Mysterio in a result nobody could justify, and Bron Breakker started asking Paul Heyman whether Oba Femi is the bigger star. That last thread got real love. Jealousy, honestly played, makes money.

NXT gave Zilla Fatu his long-awaited debut, and the pop was enormous. Umaga's son is not getting ignored, and the point was made that anyone else on that roster should be furious about how loud the building got for a guy who just walked in.

Wednesday's Dynamite card has Kevin Knight against Chris Jericho for the TNT title. One prediction was blunt: if Knight does not win, physical illness follows.
