Smackdown Live was besides one match, was a skippable show and here's why.
Opening Segment.
Basically SmackDown Live started off with Becky was backstage and drank whatever the hell Otis made in the blender. She then was in the ring and Becky said being the man is not easy. Becky also said that she delivered everything she said and how Asuka hasn't beaten Charlotte before.
Out came Asuka and she said that Becky only talks and Becky is like a bee that hasn't stung. Asuka ended the promo by saying that come Royal Rumble Becky is in her ring. Out came the Australian duo and they said that a champion shouldn't be intimidating but instead should be treated with class.
They also said that they're gonna win the GORGEOUS looking women's tag teams titles and win the women's Royal Rumble match. Becky Lynch challenged one of the IIconics and Peyton Royce answered the challenge. This was compared to RAW’s opening segment, was so much better in terms of length.
Becky Lynch vs Peyton Royce.
This match was used to further build this storyline between Asuka and Becky and turns out I'm right (No shit, Omar). Becky Lynch won the match with the disarmher. After the match, Asuka spoke Japanese with anger in her eyes and challenged Billie Kay to which she accepted that ended quickly with Asuka delivered the Asuka lock to Billie Kay.
AJ Styles goes to the concession stand.
Styles was at the concession stand and basically did the opposite of what Daniel Bryan did last week. Out came Daniel Bryan and both of those men brawled until the officials separated them.
Also happened backstage, Mandy sends a flirting message to Jimmy's Uso. Uh oh.
Mustafa Ali vs Samoa Joe.
The match hasn't even started yet because, during Alias entrance, Samoa Joe absolutely beat the crap outta Mustafa Ali.
Rey Mysterio vs Andrade (Cien Almas).
First off, WWE are I’m assuming getting rid of his last two names which it was whatever. Secondly, Their match late last year was amazing but was it any better? Too early to say but this was a great match. Too many great highlights from both men. Andrade won the match with the hammerlock DDT from the top turnbuckle. Again, what a match.
After that great encounter, Mandy was seducing Jimmy Uso and the reason why Mandy did it was became Mandy’s mad that Naomi thinks that she's as hot as Mandy. Then outta nowhere, Naomi stormed on the hotel room and beat the crap outta Mandy Rose. I feel like this will end with Naomi having a partner to face Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.
Shane McMahon’s Birthday Celebration.
The Miz introduced the birthday boy to the ring. Shane then gave his usual cheap pop. After that, Miz showed him the gifts including a pretty good video package about Shane McMahon.
Shane McMahon opened up about how he's always wanted to be a tag team champion and that's why he accepted this match. After the Miz sang the happy birthday song, The Bar came out and said that they will beat Shane and Miz at the Royal Rumble. McMahon then made a match between Miz and Sheamus.
Match itself was rather quick and meaningless but this entire segment was boring. The Miz won the match with the roll up. After the match, Shane McMahon rushed to the ring to help a beaten down Sheamus. This wasn't a good way to end SmackDown Live in my opinion.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: Rey Mysterio vs Andrade.
Didn't like: Shane McMahon Birthday celebration and The Miz vs Sheamus.
