Not impressed with this week's episode of Smackdown Live. I'm gonna go as far as to say that show was bad for the most part. The story built-in throughout the show was something I don't care about.
Maybe my mind could change because I am a human being after all but I have no positives for Owens feuding with Shane McMahon.
Smackdown Town Hall.
After Shane McMahon "gave Kevin Owens the night off", the rest of the SmackDown roster were on the stage area for you guessed it, a Smackdown Live town hall. Roman Reigns grabbed the microphone and basically told him to kick his behind.
Charlotte Flair basically agreed with Shane McMahon's tactics to which Liv Morgan replied by saying that she wants the opportunity to be in the ring or something along those lines.

Shane then called out Buddy Murphy to say something and Murphy gave a warning to Owens that next time he mentions him, he's gonna beat Owens up (finally. After 3 months, he didn't wrestle but rather he actually said something. YAYYY!).

Apollo Crews and The New Day showed up and they said what Owens said last week and that's Shane take opportunities for other superstars.
McMahon has ended that town hall meeting to which Cesaro came out to request a rematch against Aleister Black and Shane accepted that. Shane was smiling for some reason and Kevin Owens delivered him the stunner.
This had the potential to be a very good segment but the end result was a waste of time. The babyface superstars were basically saying the same thing that Owens said last week while the heel superstars said the exact opposite with the exception of Buddy Murphy I guess?
Again, not a fan of this segment and I wish WWE would give those guys some material to say something different.
Aleister Black vs Cesaro.
This was a much shorter match for obvious reasons such as its on free TV and not on a PPV. Aleister Black won again with the black mass. Overall a decent match.
Charlotte Flair vs Liv Morgan.
Liv Morgan comes out with Ruby Riott's music and she needs a theme song change ASAP considering that she's on different brand now (hahaha different brand. That's funny).
Charlotte Flair won the match with the figure eight. After the match, Liv took Corey Graves' headset and said that she'll be real. Don't know what that means but okay.
Ember Moon and Bayley vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.
The match ended quickly with the eclipse to Rose and then, Bayley was asked by Kayla who's gonna face her for the championship?
Bayley looked at Ember Moon so know what that means? She just got a title opportunity like that and yes, I would prefer a number one contenders match or something but it's a different match. A fresh matchup that I could definitely get by.
Nakamura was asked by Sarah Schreiber about his title win and Ali looked at him and told him "good look". That's a match I don't know I wanted but now I do. Also, apparently R Truth and Carmella are going to the San Diego comic con. Wished I was in San Diego that weekend. That could be fun.
The New Day vs Randy Orton, Samoa Joe and Elias.
Let's break the segment before this match happened, Daniel Bryan and Rowan showed up and left a couple of times and then finally left the arena. Samoa Joe, Randy Orton and Elias asked Kofi for a title match.
Elias then had an idea for a 6 man match between them and The New Day and Randy refused. Kofi basically called Randy a coward and Randy changed his mind. The match itself was okay.
Randy Orton pinned the WWE champion with the RKO. It looks like we're getting a championship match at SummerSlam I assume. Will see how they build this match up. By the way, where's this big career alternating announcement WWE? Where? Where? Where? Where?
Kabuki Warriors vs The IIconics for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
The IIconics were on the outside and the ref was counting them to 10. The Australian duo decided not to enter the ring and just like that, they retained their championships which was a very smart move.
After the match was over and done with, The IIconics ate a beating from the Kabuki Warriors. Hoping that the titles change hands ASAP.
Apollo Crews vs Andrade.

Crews won the match with the crucifix pin. That's it. I have no feeling about this.
Kevin Owens vs Dolph Ziggler.
Was this match over in 3 seconds? Surprisingly, it wasn't. During the match, Shane McMahon came out with pretty much all of the heels in that roster and they were roaming around the ring to which Ziggler took that distraction from Owens and hits him with the zig-zag but Owens kicked out.
Kevin Owens delivers the stunner and Shane pulls him out of the ring and Owens hits him with the stunner and ran immediately from the rest of the roster. Now, what happened to the match? I don't know.

The match seemly ended like that. Maybe it was because Shane pulled Owens out of the ring and the ref called a quite DQ (yes, that's the only possible thing I could think of how the match has ended abruptly). That ending left me high and dry like when somebody refuses to shake your hand.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: Nothing.
Didn't like: The opening segment and the ending of this show, Where's Daniel Bryan's announcement?
