Just like Monday Night RAW, this was an okay episode and now thinking about it, I feel like this is just WWE creative’s way to put stuff out so that they could refill their creative juices you know what I mean?
Opening segment.
The show started off with the new WWE champion, Kofi Kingston along with the rest of the members of the New Day in Big E and Xavier Woods.
They then talked about what happened last night on RAW including the split that Big E did and how Xavier Woods meeting Kingston back in 2014 was Woods’ honour. Kofi Kingston said that this moment wasn't supposed to happen but here he is and thanked his family for being the best version of himself.
The Bar came out with “shut the fuck up” chants and they proposed a 6 man tag team match in the main event between The New Day, The Bar and Drew McIntyre from Monday Night RAW to which The New Day accepted. An odd choice for Drew to appear on SmackDown Live but it is what it is. Overall a decent segment.
Aleister Black, Ricochet and Ali vs Rusev, Shinsuke Nakamura and Andrade.
The first 6 man tag match of the night and it was okay. The team of Aleister Black, Ricochet and Ali won the match with the 450 splash from Ali which led to an RKO outta nowhere from Randy Orton to Ali and a stunner from Kevin Owens to Rusev. Weird but I like it.
R Truth And Carmella Recaps Wrestlemania 35.
You read the title right. That's exactly what they did until the United States champion Samoa Joe came out and put the inventor of the 5 seconds dance break to sleep. Braun Strowman from Monday Night RAW came out and they went back and forth until Joe retreated. Did the superstar shake-up came early or what?
The IIconics’ Women's Championship Open Challenge.
Local jobbers aka The Brooklyn Bells answered the challenge and it’s pretty disappointing but from a kayfabe perspective, it's smart that they're defending their championships against teams that bring no threat to them if that makes sense and technically if they do this then they are defending champions. The IIconcis obviously retained their championships with a double team manoeuvre I don't know but looked impressive.
Shane McMahon promo time.
McMahon talked about how the WWE universe whats to see him beat The Miz and how he hits George Mizanin aka Mr Miz's potato face. Shane then called out Greg Hamilton to announced Shane McMahon’s name with conviction. This was okay.
After that, they played the same video back on RAW last night where a crocodile looking puppet was laughing in a dark background which I realize that's Bray Wyatt. I felt so dumb when I said that it's Mojo Rawley.
The Usos vs The Hardy Boyz for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship.
This was a pretty good match. During the match, Jeff reversed the whisper in the wind from Jey Uso and instead did a whisper in the wind of his own. Hardy Boyz won the match with the championships with The Swanton Bomb and then Lars Sullivan came out and destroyed the new tag team champions. Like I said on my RAW review (which you can click here to read it), Lars Sullivan should be on the blue brand considering that RAW has a lot of big dudes.
Becky Lynch Talks About Her Big Victory Two Nights Ago.
Becky Lynch cut a promo about her brawl with Lacy Evans on RAW last night. Becky Lynch ended the promo by saying that she welcomes all comers, all challengers. Minutes after she cut her promo, Lacy Evans hits Becky with the woman's right. Short but an okay promo from Becky Lynch.
The New Day vs The Bar and Drew McIntyre.
Before the match happened, Sami Zayn came out and simply said that this is not worth it. Okay? The match itself was okay. The New Day won the match with the trouble in paradise to Sheamus.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: The Usos vs The Hardy Boyz, the ending of the Aleister Black, Ricochet and Ali vs Rusev, Shinsuke Nakamura and Andrade match.
Didn't like: Sami Zayn coming out basically saying nothing before the main event.
For the fans reading this, don't expect an NXT review tomorrow because the NXT after a Takeover is usually a skippable show. Might post a superstar shake up predictions tomorrow.
