WWE Smackdown Live 29/1/19 | My Coherent Review.

Look, I'm just gonna get this out of the way. Smackdown Live was a disappointing show and here's why. 

Opening segment. 

The show started off with Becky Lynch coming out to the ring. Becky Lynch grabbed the microphone with a smile on her face and she said that unlike Ronda, she doesn't crumble when she loses. 

Becky Lynch also said that she's not ashamed of build herself from nothing and proud that she went from being on the pre-show of WrestleMania last year to main eventing this year's Wrestlemania. The crowd then chanted "you deserve it" and minutes after that, Charlotte came out. 

The queen said that she's proud for her friend/rival Bex. Charlotte also said that she's the reason that Becky is what she is today. After that, Becky Lynch hits her with a forearm which led to a brawl between Becky and Charlotte. Overall a decent segment in my opinion. 

R truth vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States championship.

Before the match, R truth and Carmella came out to the ring and Truth basically said that had he been in the Royal Rumble match instead of Nia Jax, he would've won the match (Lies). 

The match itself was fine but R truth actually won the match and the championship with a small package which fell botched and not planned. After the match, Rusev came out and demanded a championship match to which R Truth accepted. 

The match ended quickly with a school boy roll up from R Truth. After the match, both Rusev and Nakamura teamed up to beat R Truth. What a mess that was and like I said on my RAW review with Elias' heel turn (which you can click here), why would you turn Rusev heel with a roster that feels like they have more heels than babyfaces? Sometimes when you build up a character, you don't ALWAYS have to turn them heel. 

Rey Mysterio vs Samoa Joe. 

Before the match, Zelina Vega came out and cut a promo upset that she wasn't by Andrade's side last week. Then Andrade sneak attacked Rey Mysterio and hits him with the hammerlock DDT. I feel like this feud needs the United States championship and would've been a better fit instead of what we got earlier. 

After that, a tag team match was made between the good brothers, Rusev and Nakamura for I'm guessing next week's show? 

Shane McMahon and The Miz tag team championship Celebration. 

After Shane gave his usual cheap pop, The Miz was asking if this is a celebration, why there's no balloons and confetti everywhere? Shane answered by saying that's a traditional celebration and Shane has something planned for The Miz that's far better than it. 

One was a video package summarizing how they became the best tag team in the world. Two was bringing Miz's Dad to the ring with the crowd chanting "Mr Miz" and his Dad said that he's proud for his son. Shane McMahon then made a fatal four-way elimination match to determine the number one contender for the tag team championship. 

I wasn't a fan of this at first but ever since their championship victory, I'm intrigued as to where this goes from here. A very good segment. 

Mandy Rose was interviewed backstage by Kayla Braxton about the reason why she hates Naomi is because of what Naomi said to her on Tough Enough almost 4 years ago. Okay? This itself was awful but what bothers me about this is that unlike the teams on RAW, they just declared themselves in the Elimination Chamber match for the women's tag team championship which defeats the purpose of a qualifying match. 

The Uso vs The New Day vs The Bar vs Heavy Machinery. Winner faces Shane and Miz for The SmackDown Live Tag Team championship. 

Decent match. The New Day was Eliminated by Heavy Machinery then Heavy Machinery was eliminated by The Bar with Sheamus delivered the Brogue kick to Tucker Knight and then The Bar was eliminated by The Usos with the Uso splash. I don't mind Heavy Machinery losing like that considering that they just pinned a former 5-time tag team champions in The New Day but who knows, WWE might mess up their booking just like what WWE did with Sanity. 

Daniel Bryan Brings An Eco-Friendly Championship. 

Daniel Bryan came out to the ring and asked "Do you know who won this past Sunday at the Royal Rumble?" and the crowd answered the question by chanting "BECKY, BECKY, BECKY" which was hilarious. Daniel Bryan replied by saying that everybody won because of Daniel Bryan and he's the planet's champion. 

Then Bryan brought Erick Rowan to the ring or Rowan as he's known now. Minutes after that, Daniel Bryan brought an eco-friendly WWE championship and threw the old title in the dustbin. Out came AJ Styles and Styles said that he's not gonna let watch Bryan disrespect the championship like that. 

Out came Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy and Mustafa Ali. Ali said that he actually pinned the champion before. After Orton told Ali that he was thrown by a woman in the Royal Rumble match, Samoa Joe came to ring and cut a savage promo to everybody in that ring. 

After that, Triple H appeared on the titantron and announced a WWE championship match between all of those men inside the Elimination Chamber. I can't wait for this match. Sign me up. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Daniel Bryan Brings An Eco-Friendly Championship, Shane McMahon and The Miz tag team championship Celebration. 

Didn't like: The way WWE booked the United States championship, the Mandy Rose backstage segment.
