Smackdown Live was a good show that did a good job to build the Elimination Chamber PPV and here's why.
Opening Segment.
The show started off with the queen, Charlotte Flair and she basically said that Becky is arrogant and how she needs to get healthy in her match at Wrestlemania. Charlotte also said that she's good to go and the queen would love to face Ronda Rousey. Then, Becky Lynch came out from the crowd, approaches to the ring and out came Triple H.
Minutes after Triple H verbally puts her down, Becky slaps Triple H and walked off. I really like this segment but I also loved Charlotte's character change considering that last year, she portrayed was a completely different character. A bland one at that. Like I said on my RAW review (which you can click here), I really like what they're going with this storyline and I hope this has a satisfying conclusion.
Rusev and Nakamura vs Gallows and Anderson.
This was a decent match actually. the unholy alliance of Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura won the match with Rusev delivered the matcha kick to Anderson.
After that, The Usos cut a promo backstage basically saying that they are a different but great tag team and the best tag team should go to the Usos penitentiary. It was okay.
Mustafa Ali vs Randy Orton.
Then Samoa Joe cut a promo basically confident that he will win the WWE championship inside the chamber (Bullshit).
Daniel Bryan And His Great Educational Promo About The Environment.
Obviously, since this episode took place in his home state, you would think that he'll cut a babyface promo right? The answer is yes (no pun intended). He did talk about how the state of Washington are intelligent and they need change. Bryan also said that people and the planet needs him as WWE champion. The fact that he didn't crap on his home state was a nice change of scenery. Overall a very good segment.
Naomi and Carmella vs The IIconics vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.
This was okay I guess? The team of Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville won the match with Mandy delivered an underhook slam to Naomi.
Then, Andrade and Zelina Vega cut a promo backstage basically stating that Rey Mysterio is old news and Andrade is the future.
Jeff Hardy vs Daniel Bryan.
Decent main event. Jeff Hardy was going for the Swanton bomb however Rowan pulled Hardy's legs, ending that match into a DQ. After that, the participants in this match came out to the ring and brawled each other but Styles stood tall to end this episode of Smackdown Live. I feel like this ending should've happened on the go home show but I'm just nitpicking.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: Daniel Bryan usual great promo, Mustafa Ali vs Randy Orton, Opening Segment.
Didn't like: Nitpick but where's the US champion in R Truth?
