WWE SmackDown after Crown Jewel kept the audience buzzing, especially after a new champion was crowned. Additionally, the ending of the Friday Night Show seemed confusing when the Undisputed WWE Title match ended in a disqualification.

A few hours before SmackDown, a report revealed that the company is moving toward an AI-driven storyline. This means that artificial intelligence input could be integrated into the ongoing storyline.

After hearing this news, many fans hilariously mocked the Friday Night Show and questioned whether it's a Triple H show or written by AI. Many fans were happy with Ilja Dragunov's comeback, especially him becoming the United States Champion soon after returning. The audience was confused whether the title change was a booking by Artificial Intelligence or a move by The King of the Kings.

Furthermore, fans on social media can't stop talking about the ending of SmackDown, where Cody Rhodes used the Undisputed Title to cause a disqualification despite being a babyface.

Initially, The American Nightmare gave McIntyre the title shot, but he himself caused the DQ, which made no sense.

AI suggested an unexpected storyline to WWE - report

The report disclosed that the AI proposed a major storyline involving former WWE star Bobby Lashley. It was revealed that the Artificial Intelligence thought that The All Mighty could still be in the Stamford-based promotion.

The software wanted Lashley to return as a star who was obsessed with Japanese culture and history.

"WWE has a contract with Writer AI, a platform which has already been fed WWE content. Thus far the AI software has come up with what one person with knowledge of the situation called absurdly bad storylines. They pitched a storyline where Bobby Lashley, who I guess AI thought was still with the company, could come back as a wrestler who was obsessed with Japanese culture and history." [WON]

Currently, the situation is described as an absurdly bad storyline from the knowledge of a person. The source claimed that World Wrestling Entertainment has a contract with Writer AI, and the platform is already fed content from the Triple H-led promotion.

It remains to be seen how things will pan out in the coming weeks and how The Game will book the show.
