217	----
218	!!Tropes in the ''Up Up Down Down'' show:
219	* AccentRelapse: During their game of NHL 95, Edge and Christian's Canadian accents became much more noticeable, particularly Edge's.
220	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: The losers of many of these challenges get some form of punishment from doing the Cinnamon Challenge, eating four hot peppers, or getting chopped across the stomach. In one notable example, Heath Slater managed to avoid getting his punishment for losing in ''Street Fighter IV'', leaving Jimmy Uso (who lost a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to Mikaze) to get hit by tennis balls. When confronted, Heath invoked [[Series/GameOfThrones "trial by combat"]] and fought Jimmy again in ''SFIV'', but lost and took a second punishment.
221	* {{Crossover}}: The ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' WWE vs NXT event was a full-blown cooperative event with Riot Games, with the two teams recording the match in Riot's LCS ([[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming League Championship Series]]) studio in front of a live crowd, with actual Riot staff providing commentary and interviews. The relationship continued in 2019 when Austin and Cesaro (who was the player who most got into the game) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3mwPstEEio went backstage and appeared as guest commentators during China's LPL playoffs]].
222	* CurbstompBattle: The Madden 16 tournament had its share of blowout scores, though the finale to this is Seth Rollins beating Jack Swagger 42-10.
223	** Breeze against Saxton in ping-pong was a horrendous beating for Saxton: 11-1.
224	** Generally tends to be the case in certain fighting games in which Xavier and Kofi are the most dominant at.
225	** The ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2y2wtHjtJY Team WWE vs. Team NXT Showmatch]] saw Team NXT completely and utterly ''steamroll'' Team WWE, largely due to Seth Rollins being an absolutely ''atrocious'' feeder (getting completely dumpstered by Dakota Kai in midlane and dying 15 times).[[note]]Ruby Riott and Tyler Breeze weren't much better, although Cesaro did OK.[[/note]]
226	* EarlyBirdCameo: Some superstars tend to appear in the background before making an official appearance. Actual cameos are made by some backstage personnel and part-timers (like referee John Cone, producer Billy Kidman and Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}, who wandered in a Crunchyroll BTS skit by Xavier and Sasha Banks).
227	* HesBack: After Shayna Baszler won the vacant LRLR championship, Tyler Breeze walked onscreen with the original LRLR and reminded everyone that he was the true linear champion and staked his claim to Shayna's title.
228	* HostileShowTakeover: ''Left Right Left Right'' headed by Wrestling/TylerBreeze. It mainly serves now as a channel to highlight NXT roster members with Breeze's return to the brand.
229	* LampshadeHanging: Kevin Owens being the only one not shocked by Seth caking Austin during the one-year anniversary.
230	-->'''Owens''': Like, weren't [[Wrestling/XavierWoods you]] just on Raw talking about how it's a rule that whenever there's a cake, it's gonna end up in someone's face?
231	* LargeHam: ''Everyone''. It's expected when you've got [[WorldOfHam so many people from WWE]] involved!
232	** The three exceptions have been [[OnlySaneMan Shane McMahon]], [[TallDarkAndSnarky Roman Reigns]], and [[TheComicallySerious Kevin Owens]].
233	** Wrestling/SamoaJoe during his UUDD Championship reign was practically a preacher.
234	* LineOfSightName: When Sami Zayn was asked to make up a nickname, he panicked and named himself after the first thing he saw, a pack of batteries.
235	* NeverMyFault: Sami Zayn made every excuse he could think of to explain away his loss to Neville in FIFA 17. There was even a running tally of his excuses!
236	* NoIndoorVoice:
237	** Austin, all the time.
238	** If Seth, Sheamus and/or Cesaro aren't concentrating on playing, they're definitely this.
239	** The reigning champion of this has to be Wrestling/TheMiz. Dive for your volume button when this guy's around. One instance, during the era of everyone playing from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, was so bad that Maryse stormed into the room and started scolding her husband over how loud he was being whilst she was conducting her own Zoom meeting, much to the amusement of everyone else on the video call.
240	* PowerStable:
241	** [=DaParty=], a group consisting of Xavier Woods, Tyler Breeze, Cesaro and Adam Cole. While initially formed to play games of Uno - which rapidly became their signature go-to game on the show, all four members have branched out into playing different other multiplyaer games, replete with all the shenanigans it entails. The group quietly disbanded throughout the course of 2021-2022, with Breeze's release (although he did continue to make part-time appearances on the channel for a spell), Cole's NXT contract ending and his subsequent signing with AEW, and Cesaro opting to not renew his contract, leaving Woods as the only member of the group still employed by WWE.
242	** [=LeftRightLeftRight=], the PowerTrio of Tyler Breeze, Cesaro and Adam Cole. Breeze effectively serves as Xavier's SitcomArchnemesis, with Cesaro and Cole serving as Breeze's obnoxious cheerleaders as he competed for the UUDD and LRLR championships. Like [=DaParty=], the group was quietly disbanded as the three members gradually departed from WWE over the course of 2021-2022.
243	* RhymesOnADime: Damien Sandow's specialty when he's on the scene.
244	* ShoutOut: The show is named after the first four inputs of the classic KonamiCode.
245	* SigningOffCatchPhrase: "Keep it tight!"
246	* SoreLoser: Wrestling/AJStyles is perhaps the most notorious example, with AJ routinely throwing controllers and sulking whenever he loses. ''Especially'' if he's had to use a [=PlayStation=] controller.
247	* TournamentArc: The locker room's yearly ''Madden'' tournament, whose defending champion for the last three years has been Seth Rollins. When the tournament was brought to the channel, Rollins successfully defends his title against Jack Swagger in 2015, and AJ Styles in 2016.
248	** 2017 marked [[spoiler: Seth's shocking defeat by Jason Jordan]]. It's finally been [[spoiler: Wrestling/KofiKingston's]] year to win the thing.
249	** The FIFA tournament looks to be a new arc. Last year's victor was [[Wrestling/RusevAndLana Rusev]], this year the trophy went to Noam Dar.
250	* UnPerson:
251	** The Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 series has select characters turned off due to the WWE not wanting to showcase them, including Wrestling/ChrisBenoit.
252	** This is the fate of every former regular on the channel after they leave the company. Especially notable during the second season of the ''Battle of the Brands'' show, where every CAW of a fired wrestler from that year is removed from the show, with only a Handwave to explain to the audience why.
253	* UnsportsmanlikeGloating:
254	** Wrestling/KofiKingston is known to gloat about his victories, and even when he's still in the process of actually winning.
255	** The members of [=LeftRightLeftRight=] were prone to this during Tyler Breeze's reigns as UUDD and LRLR champion.
