This has been a good week for WWE programming. Smackdown Live was a decent show that had a consistent build towards summerslam. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good and what's ok and the reason being is because the show was passable for the most part and none of the segments and matches warrant a bad rating in my opinion. Now, on with the review.
WHAT'S GOOD
Samoa joe's manipulation
I thought this whole manipulation by samoa joe was brilliant in my opinion and the best part about this is that samoa joe made you or this case me, believe for a split second that AJ care about his championship more than his family. Now obviously he isn't like that in real life but adding their history together *cough, cough TNA* and their real life friendship makes this storyline a hell a lot better and one of the reasons why i'm looking forward to that match at summerslam.
The history of the Daniel Bryan and The Miz Feud
The year 2010. The year that i got my first phone, the year that drake better find your loving. But, It's also the year where daniel bryan first had his taste in the WWE banner and became the miz's rookie in NXT and the rest they say is history. I thought that this entire promo package was fantastic and it adds to the overall intriguing feud. Great stuff by WWE.
WHAT'S OK
the opening segment and match
The opening segment was ok but the interesting thing about that segement was Charlotte calling carmella "a diva" and it has some truth to that statement considering that carmella's in ring work is poor.
By the way, this coming from someone who likes carmella as a heel. Or maybe, creative is booking carmella to not take high/big bums and dress like the divas era from before to psychologically manipulate the fans into hating her because of it. I'm by all means, not saying that's what WWE is doing but now that i'm thinking but it, i highly doubt that they're doing this.
The match was fine. The team of Charlotte and becky lynch wins.
Bludgeon Brothers vs local jobbers
This was a squash match. Bludgeon brothers wins.
New Day vs Sanity
Forgettable match in my opinion and i could see why WWE pull the trigger for sanity to lose considering that the new day has to look good going into summerslam. New day wins with the midnight hour.Aiden English vs Andrade "Cien" Almas
Similar to the bludgoen brother match, this was a squash match. Andrade wins with the hammerlock DDT. After the match, both rusev and lana walks out and basically stated that they're gonna beat andrade and zelina on you guess it, RUSEV DAEEEEEEEEEEEEEY. I for one, think that their match at summerslam is a filler for this aiden english/rusev/lana storyline.
Jeff Hardy Vs Shelton Benjamin
Meh match. Jeff hardy wins with a splash. Not a top rope splash but a regular splash with was an odd finish in my opinion
