If you read my last week’s Smackdown Live review (which you can click here) then you'll know that I thought it was okay. Well, I could say the same thing about this week’s show but it was a bit better. So, I’m only gonna tell you what’s okay and what’s good. Here we go.
WHAT’S GOOD
Rey Mysterio vs Andrade “Cien” Almas
This is a dream match but did it live up to a dream match? Hell yea, this was a great match. Really liked the slide that Mysterio does into a DDT on the outside. Rey won with the 619 and then outta nowhere, Randy Orton hit the RKO.
WHAT’S OK
The Opening Segment
Pretty much this segment goes like this. Paige opened Smackdown live and introduced Shane McMahon. Shane then tried his cheap pop that usually works but it didn’t which I thought it was funny. After that, they run down the match card for Survivor Series. Shane then called out the team captain and it was Daniel Bryan but Bryan got interrupted by The Miz.
Miz was “disappointed” that Daniel Bryan is team captain because he’s been in two gruelling matches at Crown Jewel, getting an “injury” etc you know basically making excuses. Shane appointed both Daniel Bryan and The Miz as team captains for Smackdown Live Men’s team which is actually interesting. Is this partnership going to pay off with a W? Will have to watch Survivor Series to find out.
The Usos vs The New Day. Winner becomes team captains for the Smackdown Live tag team Survivor Series team.
Decent match. Nothing too crazy. By the end of the match, Jimmy Uso countered Kofi’s Hurricanrana from the top rope and instead delivered a powerbomb followed by a Uso splash and won. After the match, The Usos respected The New Day’s effort and chose them to be a part of the Smackdown Live tag team Survivor Series team.
Becky Lynch vs Nikki Cross
Before the match, Becky cut a promo basically stated that she’s the real champ and Ronda is not and then issued an opened challenge and outcomes Nikki Cross. This is Nikki’s main roster debut and she lost with a disarmher. I don’t know how to feel about this considering that it’s her first match and the fact that you don’t want Becky to lose going into Survivor Series but if Nikki Cross is consistently losing on the main roster then that’s a problem.
Paige reveals the Smackdown Live women’s team at Survivor Series
Paige picked her Smackdown Live women’s team at Survivor Series and they are. Carmella, Naomi, Sonya Deville, Asuka and Charlotte Flair. After that, Mandy Rose came out and pretty much was disappointed that Sonya got picked and not her.
Mandy then went on to make fun of the participants excluding Charlotte and Mandy called out Naomi’s Husband Jimmy Uso which led to a brawl between Naomi and Mandy. I will say this, Mandy was pretty decent on the mic and if she kept on cutting promos like that, she might possibly be great on the microphone.
Samoa Joe vs Jeff Hardy
Okay match. By the end of the match, Jeff was aiming for a Swanton Bomb on Samoa Joe and Joe countered it into a kokina clutch which made Jeff tap out. After the match, Samoa Joe raised his hands out to Daniel Bryan on the outside which led to a brawl between Daniel and Joe and Miz broke that up which made Daniel throw hands on Miz and Shane tried to separate Daniel Bryan but instead did a judo throw to Shane. Whatever.
