WWE Smackdown Live October 16, 2018 Results and Review Smackdown 1000

Rey Mysterio Is Back in 2018 - Source WWE 

We open up a show with the McMahon’s on Truth Tv, just in case you forgot the real stars of WWE. This went forward with antics as you’d expect, with lots of cheers, boos, and random interruptions, and more. The full McMahon family, with the exception of Linda come out for Truth TV. I won’t go play by play, but it’s just the McMahon doing their characters overall, nothing crazy I guess. I had to put on headphones and listen to music instead.

The Usos defeated Daniel Bryan and Aj Styles

The obvious finish here, but otherwise a good match with a lot of back and forth between the two teams. You can’t expect the champion and challenger to be a good team against two brothers. Plus, they are pushing the Styles versus Bryan title match that is coming up. So in that regard, this was a good match, with some nice back and forth, that’s for certain.

Evolution Segment

No, not the women’s show, it was the original guys of Evolution cutting promos about themselves and the future. I guess it was ok. They all talked, and Batista teased a match with Triple H for mania, although it isn’t set in stone of course.

The Miz defeated Rusev

This was a short match, and it ended with a distraction roll up. Notice how little wrestling was on this show folks. Afterwards Rusev beat up Aiden English, since he caused the distraction as he confronted Lana.

The Cutting Edge Segment

Meh. Edge is overrated. This was ok at best.

The Bar defeated The New Day for the WWE Smackdown Tag Titles

This was a good match as per usual, but then out came The Big Show and threw Kofi through a table, and helped The Bar win the titles. I guess this is a heel turn now? Great. Not a terrible match until The Big Slow came out.

Rey Misterio defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

Now this, this is a dream match, and we finally got Rey coming back to the WWE, which I think is amazing. The match started with Nakamura going strong style against the smaller opponent, hitting hard knees, trying to unbalance Rey, and working over the body and knees of Mysterio. However, Mysterio bounced back with hard strikes as well, and he was not going to down with a strong battle, and it was a good fight through. Rey Misterio would get the win after a 619 and a Frog Splash from the top, and that was that. Nakamura didn’t put much of a challenge in this one, that’s for sure. Good match overall, with Nakamura getting busted open at one point, and well that was that.

Smackdown 1,000 was not great.

Oh yeah, I forgot, The Undertaker showed up at the end, and did a promo, which was ok at best. I’m tired of seeing him. I hope he retires soon.

WWE Smackdown Live October 2, 2018 Results and Review The D Show At This Point

WWE Smackdown Live - Source WWE

Paige opened up the show talking, then Aj Styles talked from home, and I got bored. Why do shows start with so much talking? I’m waiting for them to say that someone stole their jobs.

Carmella and R Truth defeated Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega

A fun little match, and the two were able to dispose of the Latin stars, and it seemed to be a lot better than would have thought. Fun match, with a good pace, and back and forth.

The New Day Cooking Show

This was awful folks. The Bar came in and beat up everyone and that was that. Lame. Super lame!

Randy Orton vs Tye Dillinger

Randy Orton and Dillinger fought a little, but it was Orton that would get the last laugh as he would try to break Dillinger’s finger, and that was it.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Daniel Bryan

A good back and forth match with Shelton Benjamin getting the win after a distraction and pay dirt! This was my favorite match for the WWE this week, hands down. Great back and forth, and Bryan losing.

Asuka defeated Peyton Royce

A few good moves here and there, but Royce got tapped out by Asuka, in this short match. It wasn’t long at all, and makes me wonder about the bigger picture of WWE’s revolution.

Becky Lynch Ends The Show

Wow, a wrestling show that ends without wrestling? Great. Becky Lynch got beat up by Charlotte Flair, and that was that. Meh. Smackdown is the D show at this point. This segment wasn’t even 5 minutes long, mind you. Oh well, enough is enough, I’m going to get a nap in.

WWE Smackdown Live September 18, 2018 Results and Review Still The B Show Today

Rusev Day is Done - Source WWE 

The show begins with talking. The Miz starts with MIz TV and ugh, so tired of talking on WWE shows.

The Miz called out Daniel Bryan and that forced Bryan to run down and beat up the MIz, only to have him hit Miz and drive him into Maryse. This thing just became a blood feud, which is an interesting element overall. This little focus was interesting, and Bryan seemed to be saddened by how this worked out. This thing got emotional, and Maryse did a stretcher job….nope, she was playing possum and The Miz attacked only to knock Maryse off the apron, and then Bryan knocking Miz out of the ring to the crowd going all out.

Cesaro defeated Kofi Kingston

A great back and forth match, with a lot of action, and good overall flow, we got Cesaro showing off just how good of a wrestler he can be. Kofi is great too, and he threw down some great moments, as he got the L on this one. This could very well be the best match in the WWE this week, so I had fun watching it go down. Cesaro is a beast, yo, a true beast.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Rusev

A distraction roll up ends a match that was actually pretty good. But since it ended with a distraction roll up and this is the end of RUSEV day, I give up. I’m just going to throw papers in the air and give up. Aiden English after the fact just starts beating up Rusev, why? I don’t get it. This is stupid. Meh. Meh!

Aj Styles defeated Andrade Cien Almas

Almas should have won this match. He was fresh, he didn’t have a match Sunday, and he was just a better wrestler here, as Aj Styles sold his injuries from the match he had on Sunday. While he did a great deal of selling, Almas didn’t get run over, but the match didn’t go the way I would’ve booked it. Almas did put on a great deal of offense, so it wasn’t like this match sucked, but it definitely seemed to be telegraphed to get Aj Styles a strong win again. Styles did great here, and Almas gave him a good match too, but it should’ve gone the way of Almas.

After the match, Samoa Joe attacked and beat up Styles and that was that, well, not really, the two would brawl.

Asuka defeated One of the Iconics

I should learn their name. But when you give me a minute or 2 minute match, you don’t give me much time to learn or care about any team. Asuka wins, in a joke of a match.

Becky Lynch Coronation

This ended in a brawl between Flair and Lynch. It was ok. It’s lame that the only story lines that the WWE can come up with is friends turning on one another out of jealousy etc.

Smackdown left A LOT of talent off the show, and well, that makes it the B show yet again. No R Truth, no Sanity, no Tye Dillinger, and no lots of people on the roster.

WWE Smackdown Live September 11, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Proves Why They SUck

Miz Gonna Get It - Source WWE dot com

We begin the show with a 10 Bell Salute, which was really cool to see. Then instead of talking, we got wrestling! Yay!

I kid, first Jeff Hardy did a lot of talking, again. Meh. That was before the start of the match with Shinksuke Nakamura.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jeff Hardy Ended In A DQ

The match was going well for Hardy, and the normal back and forth you’d expect was going through, then out of the blue comes Randy Orton to beat up Hardy, and that was that. The match was thrown out and Orton beat up Hardy ahead of this match this weekend in a cage.

Aj Styles talked in an empty arena. Meh.

Charlotte Flair defeated Sonya Deville

You knew this was going to happen, right? I did. It was another ok match at best.

After the match, Becky Lynch showed up front he crowd and beat up Charlotte, which was kind of cool.

Samoa Joe talks. Ugh. This show has a ton of talking.

Rusev Day defeated The Bar

Well, that’s the end of the Bar isn’t it. Yep. The Bar goes down to Rusev Day and that means our title match his set for the weekend. This wasn’t much of a match, it was mid-speed, and telegraphed at many different levels. It wasn’t that bad. It was ok at best.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated R Truth

A distraction roll up ending to a very short match, ended with Cien Almas getting a win. This was stupid, if you ask me. Short match, boring. And just filler on a show that should be better, but isn’t.

Brie Bella defeated Maryse

Ugh. This is the end of Smackdown? I try to like the shows, but with so much talking, and lackluster moments, I find the the biggest issue with Smackdown is lack of wrestling, and just problematic story telling. Sure the ending featured Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, but meh, there’s so many other wrestlers on this roster, and yet we don’t get to see them at all. I guess that’s that, I don’t know what else to say about it.

WWE Smackdown Live September 4, 2018 Results and Review

WWE Smackdown Ending - Source WWE

The one thing that I hate about the WWE right now is the fact that they keep starting their shows with pure talk. I’m tired of talking, I don’t care for it, and I honestly just want to see pro wrestling on my wrestling shows. I’m probably in the minority, right? Ugh.

Daniel Bryan defeated Andrade Cien Almas

The talk led to Zelina Vega and Andrade Cien Almas show up and they laid down a challenge for the couple. Bryan would then throw down with Cien Almas, and the match saw Andrade Cien Almas controlling most of the match, and it was a fast flying, frenetic affair. With the women outside of the ring, the two men took on each other with gusto, and it was quite good to see, including Cien Almas countering a lot of offense that Bryan was throwing at him. As if this was going to be any less than another win for Daniel Bryan. I won’t say that Cien Almas is buried, but come on, another loss for him? Why even bring these guys up from NXT?

After the match, we saw Brie deliver the Brie Trigger on Zelina Vega, and that was that. Zelina Vega is hot, just smoking hot. Miz and Maryse showed up and started to yap, and that led to Bryan and Brie to leave the ring and chase them down, at a random restaurant, from what I can tell.

Up next we got more talking! It was Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair getting interviewed. Ugh. I’m so tired of nonsense. Sure they talk smack, and that’s it.

Naomi defeated Peyton Royce

I think it was Peyton Royce. This was a short match and it went back and forth until the Iconics ran in and beat up Naomi after she had won the match.

More talking, and then Joe comes to the ring, and talks. This show has so much talking I went to get lunch and came back and they were still talking. Aj Styles showed up and beat him up, then we got more talking and backstage stuff. By the time the next match started, there was not much left for the show.

Rusev Day defeated Sanity and The Usos in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match

This was a substantial match, but it wasn’t long. The guys put together a good match with some nice high flying moves, and some great back and forth before Rusev eventually got the pin for his team. Lots of quick moves, lots of apron moves, elbows, and more was all you got here. It was a fun match, it just didn’t last long. Rusev would win after a Matchka Kick on Young, and that was that.

R Truth defeated The Miz

This match was short, since the show only had about 10 minutes left by the time it started. This wasn’t a half bad match, and R Truth was able to get a distraction roll up win thanks to Brie and Daniel Bryan showing up. It wasn’t bad, mind you, and the end of the show featured Brie and Bryan taking care of business, until Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega showed up to help Miz and Maryse, and that was that. Another beat down ending.

WWE Smackdown Live August 21, 2018 Results and Review Becky Cannot Be Heel

Kofi Kingston Gets Throw Into Ladder - Source WWE

The show opened up with The Miz retiring from fighting Daniel Bryan. We thought he was going to retire but nope. He did a good job acting. Not a bad way to start things, but come on, more talking to open a show? I hate this. But then again, I love the Miz.

The opening would lead to Brie Bella running down and beating up the Miz, then Daniel Bryan cleared the ring. He then said that he was going to get a match against Miz and Maryse at Hell in a Cell in a mixed-tag team match.

Randy Orton defeated Jeff Hardy by DQ

The two fought a slow paced match, until Jeff Hardy started to take on Orton with a steel chair, then he climbed a small rig, and then did a Swanton through a table! I thought he was in pain? For a guy that complains that he’s feeling pain, he gives a Swanton Bomb through Orton through a table onto the floor! There was a nice finale to a match that ended swiftly and wasn’t all that good. Hardy threw down, that was cool. I clapped for it, not literally, but figuratively for sure.

Peyton Royce defeated Naomi

This was a good match, although a quick one. The commentary team wasn’t paying attention to most of the match, but that’s ok. The end was good, with a good push forward for the Iconics, but honestly, Naomi deserves more. There was a cool segment here and there, but the match lacked precision and timing. It was short, and eventually Royce got a win thanks to a distraction from the outside, and that was that.

Becky Lynch Promo

Not bad. But I can’t boo her. I just can’t. Charlotte Flair came out and the two started fighting, and that was cool. I hated the camera cuts and movements, but other than that, the two were beating the hell out of one another, and I though that was awesome. They had to be pulled apart. Something tells me they are going to have a Hell in a Cell match for the title. The women came out to stop this, but why? Meh.

Rusev and Lana defeated Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega

Another rematch, and it was ok. Nothing big, but Aiden English came to the aid of his friends and allowed them to get the win. This match seemed short, and unnecessary to me, but hey, that’s just my opinion on the matter. Not a great match, but it did have a few cool spots, mainly with Vega, because I find her to be beautiful.

AJ Styles Promo

Styles had a few sentences, and then Samoa Joe showed up and put him to sleep and he got on the mic and said that Daddy’s Asleep, Wendy. Wow. Hell in a Cell match is looming, I’m sure.

The New Day defeated The Bludgeon Brothers in a Brooklyn Street Fight

This was a great match, with a lot of fighting, and a lot of big moves. Woods went flying across the ring with an elbow through Harper and a table to get the win! This was a fight, it was a hard fought battle, and it was great to see The New Day win again. It was a great way to end the show and wow, The Bludgeon Brothers are done now. Just a lot of great moments in this fight, and a great main event if you ask me. Good showing!

WWE Smackdown Live August 7, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Shows It Is Still A B

Big E Punches Hard - Source WWE

Smackdown opened up with wrestling. I kid, no it didn’t, it opened with Randy Orton talking, for about 7 minutes. I didn’t care for this, and I don’t know anyone that wants more talking with their wrestling. That led to the Bar backstage talking about their match upcoming, and then showed off Becky Lynch and Charlotte backstage.

Charlotte and Becky Lynch defeated The Iconics

Well, that’s the end of the Iconics if you ask me. Lynch and Charlotte proved to be the superior team here, and if you watch closely, you can see that Becky Lynch is on another level compared to the other women, even Flair. She’s fast, and she is crisp, and throws down like she’s been wrestling forever, which is great. She’s got great timing, and looks amazing in ring, which made this match fun to watch. Charlotte would get the win with her Figure 8.

After the women’s match we got a promo from Aj Styles, and no more wrestling.

Zelina Vega defeated Lana

There was two major plot points during this lackluster women’s match. There was a story brewing between Rusev and Cien Almas as they were fighting on the outside. But then there was Aiden English, who ran in to help Rusev take out Cien Almas, but caused the defeat of Lana by Vega. This is going to split up English and Rusev, which is a stupid thing, but that’s how things progress. This wasn’t a great match, although Zelina Vega is gorgeous.

After this match, guess what? More talking! It was Byron Saxon interviewing The Miz. Sigh.

The highlight with the Miz interview was Daniel Bryan showing up on the set of Miz’s show, and beating him down, only to get hit in the head with a glass flower vase. Yeah, let’s hit the guy that has multiple concussions with a hard object, shattering it. Good job. This was a good segment, but blood would’ve made it better.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated R Truth

Truth made this match score big with me. He’s so good at his age, and he’s just stellar in ring. He put on a great deal of offense, for a short match, but Nakamura would eventually put the armbar in place, causing a great deal of slow down from the frenetic pace that Nakamura wanted. After the rope break, Nakamura started to drop some bombs.

The New Day defeated The Bar

Well, the Bar is done. A good match, don’t get me wrong. The two teams were able to put on a great match together, but that led to The New Day winning again. That’s good for them, as they will have another shot at the tag belts, when they face off against the Bludgeon Brothers. However, the New Day will end up losing out if you ask me. The Bar is done, now, aren’t they?

That was Smackdown. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. There was a lot more talking than I would like, but hey, that’s what happens a lot of the time.

WWE Smackdown Live June 26, 2018 Results and Review Where Is Andrade?

The Young Upstart Kane Finally Gets A Shot At The Main Roster - SRC WWE 

Why would the WWE keep bringing up talent only for them to not get featured on the show? I’m talking about Andrade Cien Almas, and of course Tye Dillinger, the perfect 10. I guess they just don’t want to showcase these guys? Send them back to NXT then! Geez. Oh yeah, we had Smackdown this week, let’s talk about that for a moment.

WWE Smackdown Live June 26, 2018 Results and Review

Today we start with pure wrestling! No. I kid. We started with Miz TV! More talking! This ended with a challenge as Daniel Bryan came out and talked, which was boring. I don’t want to see more talking, but hey that’s what you get with WWE these days. The promo worked and we got a match for later that will feature Daniel Bryan and one of the Bludgeon Brothers. The Miz escaped a beat down here.

Rusev defeated Xavier Woods

This was your standard television match, nothing too complicated about it. You had a feeling that Rusev was going to win, since it was Rusev day. The match was nothing to write home about, and here I am writing about it, aren’t I? Well, the whole match was good overall, and it definitely had some good points, with Rusev eventually countering Woods here and there and hitting the accolade, making Woods tap fast. Rusev then cut a promo. Not a bad way to start the show, well second on the show, but I could use less talking from Rusev, and more wrestling from Aj Styles.

Apparently the cast of Glow was there to say what’s up to Lana and Naomi. Cool, I guess. I didn’t think all of the starts were there, but maybe there’s all new women? I don’t know.

Jeff Hardy defeated Eric Young by Disqualification

This was a match that was ok at best, but it really took off when the USOS showed up and dispatched Sanity as they were outside. This turned into a six man tag team match, and I was wondering where Teddy Long was to make this happen.

The Usos and Jeff Hardy defeated Sanity

Well well, the new team coming up from NXT gets beat down and loses to the established Smackdown stars. Why bring up starts to get them beat by established stars? I don’t get it. The match was fast paced, and it was really fun to see. The Usos and Jeff Hardy threw down their greatest hits, and it was fun to see, so I guess in terms of wrestling alone, this was great to watch and it was definitely worth your time if you haven’t seen it just yet.

Becky Lynch defeated Sonia Deville

I love Deville. She’s beautiful, and great. Lynch is also smoking hot, but the two together can also throw down. Lynch was able to throw down a great deal of back and forth hits. I liked this one, and it had a great deal of action. Lynch won with the Disarm-her and that was that. Good back and forth, and nice action for the women.

James Ellsworth Cut A Promo

This was a great promo, and Ellsworth is great on the mic. Paige came out and said that Carmella has to fight Asuka. He called out Asuka. But Paige said Asuka wasn’t there etc. Next week Ellsworth will fight Ellsworth next week, and that’s that.

Daniel Bryan defeated Luke Harper via DQ

This wasn’t a great match, but it was adequate for me. It had a good back and forth at first glance, and of course it had Daniel Bryan chopping down Harper for the most part. When it looked like he was going to win, Rowan jumped in to stop things, and that caused the DQ. Kane then showed up and we had a reunion of Team Hell NO, and that was that. Kane, folks, the young upstart KANE is back, instead of Andrade Cien Almas instead of Tye Dillinger, instead of anyone else that they called up, it was that young upstart KANE.

Smackdown was ok, the WWE packed in a few things, but it’s really stupid that this is the conclusion of certain things. There’s a lot to be desired, and honestly, this is a B show for me.

WWE Smackdown Live June 12, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Strikes Twice

They call Smackdown the B show, and to be honest, it sure feels that way sometimes. This show wasn’t half bad, and I didn’t hate it, but there were some moments that made me question what I’m doing with my life, writing about wrestling, and going to shows.

Before going into the Review, I need to remind all readers that I will be in Chicago for MONEY IN THE BANK, so if you’re out there, drop me a line on twitter, I’m jaydune, or message me on this site or email me and we can connect. I will be there for Takeover and Money In The Bank.

WWE Smackdown Live June 12, 2018 Results and Review

Becky Lynch Flies - SRC WWE 

So let’s get this review started, by stating that I hate the talking segments on all wrestling shows from the WWE. I’m sick of it. Paige hosted a Women’s Money In The Bank Summit, and it was the same that you’d expect, everyone says they are going to win, and that’s it.

Daniel Bryan defeated Shelton Benjamin

This was a fun match, with a lot of back and forth between the wrestlers. These guys can work, and they were given a little bit of time, and it worked well for the most part. Bryan was able to reverse some of the stuff that Shelton was throwing at him, but it was definitely not an easy win. Benjamin was able to get through a lot of the offense, and even reversed a lot of the action, only to end up getting tapped out.

Jerry “The King” Lawler interviewed Aj Styles

This was just a promo.

Rusev defeated Samoa Joe with The Miz as Special Guest Referee

Wow, this is not what I thought was going to happen at all. Rusev looked to be getting choked out, but after some back and forth issues with The Miz, Joe couldn’t get the upper hand, and ended up losing. This was a throw away match with some shenanigans, and it was interesting to see the dynamic. It was a fun little showcase, and I’m not sure who’s going to win the briefcase this Sunday. I will say this much, Rusev looked great with Joe, and Joe’s new haircut sucks.

After the match, The Miz climbed a ladder and got a briefcase, but it was full of pancakes!

Jeff Hardy defeated Shinsuke Nakamura by DQ

This was a good back and forth match, and right when things were getting really good, Nakamura hit a low blow and that was the end of that. Jeff Hardy was great here, and Nakamura kept up with him quite well, but I’m absolutely surprised by how this all came through, with Nakamura knocking out Hardy with a low blow.

Asuka, Becky Lynch, Naomi, Lana, and Charlotte Flair defeated Carmella, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Peyton Royce, and Billie Kay

Wow, what a match, this was exciting for me, and everyone watching. There was a lot of back and forth, and everyone was able to shine here. Lots of action, and lots of fighting back and forth, with the women getting close falls, breaking up pins and so much more.

Smackdown may be the B show, but tonight was fun, especially with two good matches, and a time frame that was a lot less than Raw. That’s something worth noting, that’s for sure.

Knee To Face Deux - SRC WWE 

I didn’t realize that WWE Smackdown was live in Louisville! That’s near where I live, and had I known, I would have gone down there. Sadly, I was not there, I was at home watching this overall. Anyways, here we go, smackdown Live was going on, but guess what? There’s not many of my favorites, including your favorites, such as Tye Dillinger. Anyway, here we go, Smackdown Live where the foreign heels get big time shots at the gold.

WWE Smackdown Live April 24, 2018 Results and Review

Miz TV started the show, and I figured Daniel Bryan was going to come down, but instead it was Big Cass. He cut a promo and sized up Miz, then sized up Daniel Bryan, and we go forward with the show. Not a great opening, and what happens in the back is interesting, as Bryan is laid out and holding his shoulder. Already injured? Lame.

The Iiconics defeated Asuka and Becky Lynch

I know that it’s not “woke” to talk about the body’s of women performers, but The Iiconics have breast implants and it’s painfully obvious that they have been enhanced. I think they are beautiful regardless. Either way, you’ll find that the match was serviceable, and had a good back and forth feel. It was fast paced, had some nice pushes, and you’ll find that Asuka is not the unbeatable woman any longer, as she once again loses on television. The Iiconics work very well together, and outsmarted the duo of Lynch and Asuka, which I appreciated overall.

Jimmy Uso defeated Rowan

This was a short, fast match. The Uso’s were able to use Naomi to help distract, and a superkick to the side of the head claimed a serious blow to the Bludgeon Brothers and we ended up seeing Rowan drop a match to Jimmy Uso. Not a bad match, not a great one either.

Carmella and Charlotte Flair Signed a Contract for WWE Backlash

This was boring. I was bored with it.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Randy Orton

This was a fast paced, good overall match, and it was great to see Orton go beyond just “work mode” and do well with Shelton. Shelton is a pure athlete and can go very well with just about any worker if you ask me. In this match the two were able to put together a fast paced, good match, even though one of the Singh brothers interfered with a mask on! Classic! Jeff Hardy was watching on the sidelines. Good match for what it was worth.

Shinsuke Nakamura, Rusev, and Aiden English defeated Aj Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows

This was a good match with a lot of back and forth between the players. I didn’t dislike anything here, although it was a little short. Aiden English and Rusev felt like jobbers, and Nakamura was the star here. Anderson, Gallows, and Styles worked well together, but eventually succumb to the chaos of the ring and would get a loss due to Nakamura.

After the match, Nakamura got jumped, but recovered, and was going to take out Styles but Ken Anderson got in the way, and he got killed with two knees to the head. That was the end of the show, and we got the finish for Smackdown.

Overall, a good show, but there was a lot missing. There was so much missing that I wonder why this show isn’t 3 hours. I’m serious, there’s a lot of missing talent for this show, and the matches were cut short etc.

Nakamura Flies - SRC wwe dot com

If ever there was a way to prove that Smackdown was the B show, it definitely proved itself to be the case here with this show. I couldn’t care about this show and I get paid to watch! Whatever the case may be, you’ll find that this show wasn’t grand, and yet it had a lot going on for such a short show. Let’s get into the action here.

WWE Smackdown Live March 27, 2018 Results and Review

Jinder Mahal and Rusev defeated Randy Orton and Bobby Roode

Since Roode and Orton beat down the only healthy Singh brother he couldn’t compete. So what he did instead was got Rusev to be his partner on this very special Rusev day! The two worked very well together, and while Roode and Orton couldn’t get along, Rusev took advantage with a solid Machka Kick and boom, Mahal and Rusev would get the pinfall victory here. A short tag match, but it would be good for Rusev, because he will now be in a fatal fourway for the United States championship.

Becky Lynch defeated Ruby Riott

Becky Lynch was wearing a very unflattering ring leotard, and Ruby Riott proved yet again why she is so good in the ring. She is fast, she knows her stuff, and is well timed against Lynch. Lynch would get a quick roll up victory but Riott held her own throughout, and really did a great job with Lynch throwing down some great moves here and there. After the match the Riott squad would get beat up a little and that was that.

Daniel Bryan Will be At Wrestlemania

There’s not much to say about this one.

The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers

This wasn’t great at all, as it ended in chaos. The Bludgeon Brothers and the Usos clashed outside, and the New Day clashed, and it was a big melee. Nothing to see here.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Tyler Breeze

Dolph Ziggler buried Tyler Breeze in a short match, which was really just boring to me. I don’t know why they keep putting these terrible matches on. Breeze loses, Fandango gets caught up outside with a superkick, and that’s that.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Shelton Benjamin

AJ Styles was outside for this one and was protecting Nakamura in a lot of ways. He would help get Gable away from the ringside area, and let Nakamura get a fair shot against Benjamin. Shelton Benjamin is a great performer, and Nakamura is good in many ways, but this match wasn’t that great at all. It suffices to be an ok encounter with a predictable finish where Nakamura wins.

After the match Styles got into the ring and was getting beat down by Benjamin and Gable then Nakamura came in and cleared house but didn’t beat up Styles, though he could have, and that was that.

Smackdown overall was the B show in every way possible. It didn’t feel like Raw, and after the NJPW show I saw this past weekend, I don’t know if Smackdown is going to live up to the hype on its weekly showcase. It’s a bit short, and boring.

Styles Delivers - source wwe dot com

There cannot be a worse show than Smackdown. It’s simply a terrible progression that you know you hate, but you won’t admit it. I couldn’t believe how bad this thing was, but then again, I could believe it because I keep seeing this occur over and over again. At least we didn’t get a six woman tag team match again, right? Let’s discuss how this all went down for a moment.

WWE Smackdown Live March 6, 2018 Results and Review

Charlotte Flair and Ruby Riott Cut Promos

These two women cut promos and that’s it. The two went through scripted lines and it was awkward as hell. I didn’t like the performances here, and I can’t believe it didn’t turn into fisticuffs. The show was simple enough, and it worked for what it was. At the end of the day, this was just filler to me. Bobby Roode interrupted everyone and then we cut to commercial.

Jinder Mahal defeated Randy Orton

I called this one. I thought that the Fastlane match would turn into a triple threat, and maybe it still will happen. Other than that, we saw Jinder Mahal get the pinfall after Orton got distracted by Bobby Roode outside of the ring. This wasn’t half bad, as the match went back and forth and the two can wrestle well together. I didn’t hate it, but I just knew that Jinder Mahal was going to win this match.

Becky Lynch defeated Carmella

This was all Carmella for the most part. Lynch was getting a beat down for the most part, but one mistake and Carmella got hooked into the arm bar and that was that. Lynch was able to tap out Carmella and that was ok I guess. I really miss James Ellsworth at this point because he could keep helping Carmella win matches, and now, it’s just boring to me.

Aj Styles cut a promo.

Aj Styles got interrupted by Dolph Ziggler and the two exchanged words before they started their match.

Aj Styles vs. Dolph Ziggler

This was a halfway decent match, but it went too long without a winner because out came Zayn and Owens showing up and causing chaos. That made Shane McMahon show up to make this a straight up tag team match! I kid. Instead it was simply another setup for a fatal 5 way in which Baron Corbin was sent in.

Sami Zayn won a fatal 5 way

This was a fast paced match with a lot of fun spots, but it was all about the end with Kevin Owens getting pinned by Zayn. There’s not much to say about all of this, other than Aj Styles is the best wrestler in the world. He was able to gain a serious amount of momentum here and it was fascinating to see the whole thing. I was impressed with the move set he threw down, and well, everyone else got their stuff in as well.

A highlight for me was when Rusev challenged Nakamura backstage. Other than that, this was a B show and it sucked. Nothing was memorable here.

Styles Sent Through A Table - SRC wwe dot com

From the Staples Center in Los Angeles came Smackdown Live for February 27, 2018 and it was most likely a sell out crowd. I miss Los Angeles. I went to several events for Smackdown, and once I paid 400 dollars to sit third row. Today, however, I saw this show on HULU since I didn’t have a few hundred dollars to fly out to see the show.

WWE Smackdown Live February 27, 2018 Results and Review

Moving forward to the night, we first got John Cena come through and demand a shot at something for Wrestlemania. That prompted Shane McMahon to show up and say, ok, you can go to the main event of Wrestlemania if you win two matches. The first which would occur tonight. More on that later.

Baron Corbin defeated Sami Zayn

This wasn’t half bad of a match, but it also wasn’t great. Baron Corbin was able to get a great deal of offense, and Sami Zayn wasn’t laying down either. A good back and forth television match with a slight distraction that would lead to the End of Days and that was the end of Zayn. Dolph Ziggler kicked Kevin Owens at ringside, causing the distraction.

In the middle of this match, there was a segment between Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon in which Bryan walked out, after saying he just is going to go home, and McMahon allowed it, while eating popcorn. Ok, well that’s that.

Ruby Riott defeated Naomi

I was impressed with this match a great deal. Ruby Riott was really good at playing up the heel role here, but not just that, she was in sync with Naomi. Naomi playing the good girl role was great, but it was Riott that impressed me with some good timing, counters, and the eventual win on this match. Naomi is fun to watch, but it was Riott’s turn for the win, and that was kind of cool to see.

The Usos and The New Day Again Talked

This was given too much time. The Usos and The New Day just talked, and then the Bludgeon Brothers came out, but there was no pay off, I don’t know what that was all about.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Aiden English

Rusev Day Chants were going crazy here, but it was to no avail. Shinsuke Nakamura would win this one after mopping the floor with Aiden English. Even though Rusev was able to knock him down outside, it was to no avail, English was no match for Nakamura.

John Cena defeated Aj Styles

These two are great together in the ring, and they’ve had barn burners before. This wasn’t one of them. Styles was able to go through a lot of the motions, but it was Cena that would eventually get the win, and that is that. Super Cena is coming back for a little bit, but there is no chance that he wins at Fastlane, and Styles gets pinned yet again. He will now have to defend his title in a six pack challenge, and that should be interesting to map out overall.

That’s it. That’s all that happened on Smackdown. It’s a B show that seems like an afterthought.

Once again, where was Tye Dillinger? Where was the tag division? Where was anyone really, this was a lousy show with a lot of wasted moments where you could’ve had more wrestling if you ask me.

Another week, another Smackdown that showed off the same old BS.

WWE Smackdown Live February 18, 2018 Results and Review

The opening match was supposed to be Ziggler and Corbin, but it never started. Owens and Zayn beat up Corbin. But where was Tye Dillinger? Oh well.

Charlotte Flair defeated Sarah Logan

Lots of people thought this was the worst match of the week, but I liked this. Flair was good, and was able to carry Sarah Logan during this match, and it was fun to watch for me. I liked the way it all went down, and eventually it ended with Flair spiking Logan and getting the win. I didn’t hate this match, and though that Flair really did well with Logan, and that finale was great.

Baron Corbin defeated Kevin Owens

This was ok, and Owens lost, so Corbin gets into the main event of Fastlane. I’m bored with this.

Bobby Roode’s Open Challenge

Nothing happened here besides a bunch of people answering and no match happening. Randy Orton and Jinder Mahal came in, and it was Jinder Mahal that ended up getting the biggest pop here with his finisher on everyone.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was boring. The New Day won.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Sami Zayn

This was a boring match for me, and I knew who would win. Sami Zayn loses, and that’s that.

Smackdown is so predictable right now, and yet they have so much talent. Tye Dillinger should be running in to interfere because he lost his title shot, but here we are, no Tye Dillinger yet again. The top 10 rankings are BS too. This whole show felt awful.

WWE Smackdown Live January 16, 2018 Results and Review The Biggest Dumpster Fire Ever

The Glow Kick - Smackdown Live - Source WWE dot com

This was perhaps the worst Smackdown Live that has been put through in a long time. The crowd was nearly dead for a lot of it, there were only 4 matches, and more than 30 minutes of the time slot was given to Jinder Mahal. I kid you not. Jinder Mahal, the modern day Maharaja was the main focal point. Love him or hate him, Jinder Mahal was a big part of the night’s events, and well, let’s break down how it all went down.

WWE Smackdown Live January 16, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened up with Xavier Woods talking on the mic before calling out Jinder Mahal for their United States Title tournament match.

Jinder Mahal defeated Xavier Woods

This was a second round match in the tournament, and Woods put on a good show. He did most of his spots, and Mahal was slowed down for a good portion of this match. However, Mahal found creative ways to block or revert Woods’ offense to the point where Woods would get tripped up and eventually planted for the three count. Mahal would move on in the tournament.

Bobby Roode defeated Mojo Rawley

Bobby Roode took a beating from Mojo Rawley in this match. He was getting a serious beat down before he would reverse things and hit his DDT for the big win. Rawley is no joke here, he was definitely shining and was able to keep up with Roode’s offense and over powered him in a lot of different moments in this match. I loved the presentation, but Roode’s win was telegraphed.

After this match, the Singh Brothers attacked Roode and Mahal would laugh at him. Their championship match would be moved to later on in the night when Daniel Bryan came out and caught Jinder talking smack.

The Riott Squad defeated Charlotte Flair, Naomi, and Becky Lynch

Trading wins back and forth is the worst kind of booking you can do for wrestling. No one ever seems dominant, and it’s just not fun to watch sometimes. The Riott Squad was getting manhandled by Charlotte and her friends, if you ask me. They barely squeaked out a victory here, after getting a lot of brawling done. The Riott Squad would get a win, but this was a standard six man tag match, and well, it wasn’t fun to watch, again.

Bobby Roode defeated Jinder Mahal for the United States Championship

This match was not that good. Roode was winded, and Mahal was just trying to keep up with the veteran. He would put in some good moments here and there, and I’m glad that Bobby Roode get the win, but wow, way to bury Jinder Mahal after being champion, failing to recapture, and then failing to win the United States Championship. Is this the end of Jinder Mahal’s run? Roode wins, and that’s the end of the show.

During the show, there were vignettes of the Royal Rumble participants and it was awful. It lacked emotion and character that you used to get with the older Royal Rumble focused promos, but hey, it’s something, right?

This was a bad night of wrestling, if you can call it that. It had some ok moments, but where were half of the roster? Seriously, there was so much missing, including Zayn, Owens, The Usos (interview and beat down doesn’t count), and many others were just not on the show. Not a great match, but hey, if you love Jinder Mahal, you got him for more than 30 minutes of the show.

WWE Smackdown Live January 2, 2018 Results and Review The McMahon Hour Continues

Only Image From WWE dot com 

I didn’t want to watch Smackdown. I really didn’t. Why should I? I could have told you everything that was going to happen, and it’s hard to suspend disbelief when the show seems to telegraphed. But you know what, let’s talk about it anyways.

WWE Smackdown Live January 2, 2018 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan started the show talking, alongside AJ Styles. That’s it. This was boring to me, but you know what, it’s what I expect now. I just expect being bored by the opening elements. It’s dumb, but it happens, just like Southpark said it would happen.

The Usos defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was an ok match, but there was a big problem. You see, the problem was that you will find Benjamin and Gable would win the titles midway through this match. However, both USOS were complaining and the referees, for the first time ever, went to instant replay and figured out that the USOS were doing twin magic! I hate it. I hated this, and it’s stupid. The Usos would win, simple as that.

The Bludgeon Brothers vs. Breezango

This didn’t go very well. The Brothers beat them down before the bell rang, and out came The Ascension, only to get buried. The arena was as quiet as can be for a wrestling event not in Japan.

Xavier Woods defeated Aiden English

This was a fun back and forth match, and while it wasn’t going to be Aiden English’s night, it was fun to see him fight Woods. Rusev is way over, but he wasn’t in the tournament. English pulled off the win and Brooks threw down some great moves, including the big elbow off the top which would get him the big win here. English loses, and that’s the end of this.

Riott Squad defeated Carmella, Natalya, and Tamina

This was boring to me. The Riott Squad already lost. So why are they cutting promos and winning now? I’m honestly at a loss. Afterwards the women on the roster brawled, and that was that. I don’t see the big deal with them, they aren’t dominant at all.

Sami Zayn defeated Aj Styles

This was a terrible match, if you ask me. Styles always does well, but with Owens on the outside, Bryan on the outside, and McMahon on the outside was not great. It’s sad that this story is so terrible. I do like Bryan going heel, but honestly, Styles isn’t getting any favors losing every week, and he loses here thanks to a distraction, yet again.

Anyways, this is a terrible forward progression, and Smackdown is a B show compared to Raw if you ask me. It’s just dumb. It set up a three way match for the Rumble with Aj Styles versus Zayn and Owens. It’s nothing grand, and that’s the end.

Want to know why Smackdown is the B Show?

Well, on WWE.com, you didn’t get any pictures updated from the show, meanwhile Raw had hundreds of photographs. Funny how that is.

WWE Smackdown Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review No Time For The 10

Aj Styles Throwing Down - SRC WWE dot com

I’m tired of WWE, I’ll admit it. This is especially true because there are a lot of people on the roster that seem to not have any moments on the show. For instance, where’s Tye Dillinger? Where’s Breezango? Oh well. Here’s what went down on Smackdown this week.

WWE Smackdown Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan Talk

There was a time when Shane said that Smackdown wasn’t going to be about the McMahon family, and well here we go, another opening where he is the center point of Smackdown. Lame.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Usos

I was surprised by this match. I didn’t realize that The Usos would get a loss here, but Shelton and Gable found a rhythm and blocked a lot of the Usos offense. I loved how well they are working together, and found a way to win, even when the champions seemed to have things in the bag. Gable and Benjamin won with a great finisher, and that’s that. Oh, and this was a non-title match.

Charlotte Flair and Naomi defeated Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan

Well, that’s the end of that. The Riott Squad were supposed to be a dominant force and guess what? They lost here. So I guess they aren’t that much of a threat? Logic gets thrown out the window here, so that’s the end for me. They aren’t very good if they can’t win. Imagine if the NWO lost all of their matches.

Dolph Ziggler quits.

I sure hope this is true.

The New Day defeated Rusev and Aiden English

50/50 booking, right? The New Day wins this match, and they were all dressed up for this one. It was ok I guess, but honestly, I’m tired of this form of booking, and people just phoning it in.

Aj Styles, Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn

Well, here you go, a six man tag, as though Teddy Long was booking. I’m so tired of seeing these six people, and honestly, am tired of the same old stuff on Smackdown. I guess this was ok, wrestling wise it worked, but honestly, the good guys always win, and that’s really the big deal here. I mean, they win to further what story line? Jinder Mahal is buried here, the Kevin Owens and Zayn things continues, but I’m so over it.

Well there you go, the end of the line for Smackdown. There was some good wrestling in the tag division, and the women put on a good show too. But there was a lot of things missing, including the Bludgeon Brothers, Bobby Roode, and so many others. Oh well.

WWE Smackdown Live November 28, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fire Round Two

src wwe dot com

Well, if Raw felt like 9 hours long, this show felt like at least 4 hours long. So much so that I didn’t want to finish it, but had to because this site is the longest running episodic blog on pro wrestling. There was even a time when this site was bigger than the Jim Ross blog! Those were the salad days, but tonight, let’s discuss yesterday’s Smackdown, which was another dumpster fire of stuff to discuss.

WWE Smackdown Live November 28, 2017 Results and Review

Remember when Shane McMahon said that the Smackdown show wasn’t going to be about the general managers and the McMahon’s? He lied. Here he is starting the show and bringing out Daniel Bryan. The two jib jab about how Zayn and Owens weren’t fired, when they should’ve been fired, and that led them to create a match for later on. They said that the main event would be Kevin Owens against Randy Orton in a NO DQ match, with Sami Zayn barred from ringside. Then the show continued into the wrestling portion, which, well, was not that great.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was a good match, and the New Day is always fun to watch. Big E came out with pancakes and syrup for the Usos, whom were at ringside. That was gross. The match was your standard back and forth, with a lot of reversals, high spots, and more. It wasn’t great, but it didn’t suck. I am tired of the New Day by now, and am just ready for them to stop doing what they are doing and move on to literally anything else. Benjamin and Gable did a great back and forth, fast tag quick match overall, but honestly, this just felt empty at the end. The New Day would get the win with their finish, and that was that.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Hype Bros

This was a burial. After the match, Mojo turned on Zack Ryder and that was that. The end of the Hype Bros, and the continued success of the Bludgeon Brothers.

Aj Styles defeated The Singh Brothers in a Handicap Match

Before the match started, The Modern Day Maharaja, Jinder Mahal came in and beat the socks off Styles. I like Jinder, let’s get more Jinder! Don’t hinder the Jinder! Jinder Mahal throws some wicked offense here, and then lets the Singh Brothers clean up. Aj Styles eventually got his bearings and then knocked out the Singh Brothers and delivered a top rope Styles Clash! This was awesome! Great finish, and that’s that. After the match Jinder Mahal beat up his cronies, and then walked away. Styles may have met his match for the big PPV coming up.

The Riott Squad defeated Charlotte Flair, Natalya, and Naomi

Well, the new girls got in the ring on this show, and was able to knock out the roster’s best women, and that was that. They were ok, faster and younger than the established stars, and won overall. This was entertaining, but it was a quick match, so on that note, it was a highlight, but nothing to write home about I guess.

Kevin Owens defeated Randy Orton in a NO DQ Match

And away we go, a fight. This was a fist fight and a brawl with Kevin Owens getting a huge beat down for the most part. Orton was showcasing that he was mad, and he was hitting Owens with heavy barreled shots until Owens got a kendo stick and started to fight back. The match went up the ramp and out came Sami Zayn and started to beat down the Viper with a chair and caused him to lose the momentum of the match. Owens would get the big win after a frog splash and that was the end of the show!

There you have it. Smackdown was not half bad, but it wasn’t great either. There is a lot of different people on this roster and yet only a few people were showcased. I won’t drill down names, but it’s sad to see such little content for a Smackdown show that was supposed to be a better show than Raw. This sucked. It felt longer than it should be for sure.

WWE Smackdown Live November 21, 2017 Results and Review The McMahon Hour

Smackdown Turned Into A Melee - Source WWE DOT COM

Just like the Raw brand has been dissolved into another showcase of the McMahon show, the second brand, the B brand, Smackdown is now just about the McMahons as well. Shane McMahon started the show and brought down Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. He was going to fire them, but instead of doing that, out came Daniel Bryan, and guess what? The night of Smackdown was a pretty bad show, but not for lack of trying, right? Let’s discuss how this all went down a little further, and see why it’s the B show yet again.

WWE Smackdown Live November 21, 2017 Results and Review

As stated above, Shane McMahon showed up and was going to fire Zayn and Owens for what they did at Survivor Series, interfering in the main event. Daniel Bryan said that they would have to face off against The New Day in a Lumber Jack match, that would feature the entire Smackdown roster. This progressed into a night of lackluster wrestling, with a few highlights, and here we go.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Jey Uso

I never knew that they spelled Jey’s name that way. Whatever. This was a decent match, Shelton is still good in the ring, and the Usos are always fast and in charge. This time around, it was Pay Dirt that would level the playing field, and Jey would go down in defeat. Not a bad match, but did nothing for me other than entertain for a few minutes.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Hype Bros

This was awful. The Bludgeon Brothers look terrible, and they buried The Hype Bros. There’s nothing else to say about this.

Jinder Mahal attacked Aj Styles

AJ Styles came out to the ring to talk, and was jumped by the Singh Brothers and Jinder. This will set up next week’s handicap match between Styles and the Singh Brothers, and set up the main event for Clash of the Champions, or Night of Champions, or whatever it is, with Jinder and Styles going at it for the Smackdown title.

Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan showed up backstage to beat up a bunch of women, but before that they interrupted the Title match between Charlotte Flair and Natalya. They beat everyone up backstage and in the ring and that’s that.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The New Day in a Lumberjack Match

Not a terrible match, but not a great one either. There was a lot of back and forth here, and a good play on lumberjack thing with the roster beating up the duo, and then throwing them back into the ring. The whole thing broke down on an accident, and the roster started brawling, and distracted the New Day long enough for Owens and Zayn to win. Owens then ran away, and Zayn got beat up by the New Day.

Backstage, Owens was told that he would face off against Randy Orton next week, and that was the end of the show.

Not a terrible show, by not a great one either. With so many people on the roster, you would think that we would get better matches, and more focus on the wrestling aspect. It was funny to see Owens and Zayn backstage trying to get people to be on their side, and of course only Rusev and Aiden English had a little bit of a note of sympathy, not bad. Not a night of wrestling you should go out of your way to see, that’s for sure.

WWE Smackdown Live September 13, 2017 Results and Review McMahon Show Featuring Wrestlers

Breaking Kendo Sticks - SRC WWE DOT COM

Well, if you ever have a negative thing to say about Vince McMahon, you can now shut the hell up. I’m going to, and you may want to do the same. Why? Well, we will get to this night of Smackdown, live from Las Vegas. I should’ve gone, but eh, I didn’t get to go this time. I did think about it, though, but it just didn’t happen. So let’s get into this showcase of the immortals, or rather, the boring things that happened and the exciting things that also happened.

Kevin Owens Took over

Kevin Owens wasn’t playing around last week when he said he was going to takeover the show, because he certainly did this time around. He showed up and was taking over from the moment he came out to the ring. He was interrupted by Dolph Ziggler at one point, and he praised him. That of course led to the rest of the show, in which Owens would have backstage interactions, and was claiming to be taking over the show or he was going to sue.

Aj Styles defeated Tye Dillinger in the United States Championship Open Challenge

Did you really think that Tye Dillinger was going to get the win here? He did put up a good fight against Aj Styles, but it wasn’t at all what you would call a 4 star classic. In fact, the match went on slightly less time than I imagined it would have gone, and it even had a run in with Baron Corbin. Corbin was able to knock some sense into the two combatants, and wake up Aj Styles because he definitely got some shots from Dillinger. Dillinger pinned the champ a few times, but he couldn’t get that 3, and of course Styles would turn things around and boom, the calf crusher made Dillinger tap out. What a push for Dillinger? The best loser to come through NXT, eh? What a shame.

Jinder Mahal Goes Racist

Jinder Mahal came out and was super racist with running down Nakamura. I guess that’s cool? I don’t know. I like Jinder Mahal’s shirts, and I did like the Singh brother’s comedy act, but this was a bit much. This didn’t need to be on the show at all.

The New Day defeated The Usos in a Sin City Street Fight for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles

The new Day was supposed to be outgunned here but they weren’t because The Usos came at them like it was Day One Ish! See what I did there? Either way, the New Day put on a showcase, and The Usos beat the holy hell out of Big E and Kofi Kingston. The end was going to be similar to that of Summerslam, but alas, things turned out good for the New Day as they were able to garner a pinfall after a lot of punishment. Chairs, kendo stick breaking, and tables all made this match quite good, and of course, the two teams have great chemistry together. The New Day are the new champions! This wasn’t my favorite street fight of all time, but it was good. I think the Cactus Jack and Max Payne street fight with the Nasty Boys was better.

Natalya defeated Naomi in the Smackdown Women’s Championship Match

This wasn’t a great match. It was rushed, and it seemed like they just didn’t give the women enough time to tell a good story. However, James Ellsworth and Carmella were playing a dom and sub thing, and got in the face of Naomi at one point. It didn’t matter, Natalya won with the sharpshooter and that’s the end of this feud, right?

Dolph Ziggler Made Fun of People

This was dumb.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Hype Bros.

This was a fast match where Shelton did all the work, and the Hype Bros. just lost. It looked like one of them may be turning heel? I don’t know, this division sucks right now. Shelton looked great though.

Kevin Owens Beat Down Vince McMahon

The highlight of this wasn’t the announcement of the Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens in a Hell in the Cell Match. Sadly. Owens head butted Vince hardway, and then dropped his weight on him from the top, as well as busting open Vince. That brought out Stephanie McMahon dressed like a power ranger, and that was that. I hope Owens goes to the indies, this is a lame feud to me, and this show was lackluster, with only 1 good match, and the rest being filler. Sadly, this is the B show.
