This show other than the opening segment and match, was just not interesting and I'm hoping that it's just a filler week for them so that they hammer back their creative strengths next Friday or Saturday morning where I live.
Erick Rowan Claims That "Might Is Right".
Erick Rowan showed up with a killswitch engage shirt which I've not noticed it till I watched the YouTube version of this segment and he conveys to the fans that might is right (not gonna lie, that was a good line). Daniel Bryan came out and didn't buy that BS so he challenged him to a very competitive match with many near falls from the big man.
Luke Harper emerges at the end and due to his distractions, Erick Rowan delivered the iron claw which was botched but he got it with a second Iron Claw and won the match.
Roman Reigns makes the save to end a 2 on 1 beating. This is where my fickle wrestling fan side comes in (no pun intended), the mystery side of that story sucked but the aftermath of it I feel is the exact opposite. I'm actually buying in this version of Erick Rowan bit by bit.
Micheal Cole had his second sit down interview this week and this time it was with the WWE champion in Kofi Kingston about why he accepted that challenge? Kofi's reason? Well, simply put, he wants to prove to everybody that he's a fighting champion. Solid stuff.
Chad Gable vs Mike Kanellis.
Chad was cutting a promo about what happened in his match with Baron Corbin and Mike Kanellis after showing up, made a comment about how size does matter and as a black man, I know a thing or two about size so he's right I guess?
However, his size didn't lead to a win but rather tapping out to the ankle lock in a losing effort.
Elias shows up via titantron and he calls Chad Gable a very tall dude (if you bought that then you clearly haven't watched WWE for quite some time).
Charlotte Flair And Carmella vs Bayley and Sasha Banks.
The match ended with a bank statement from Sasha Banks and Truth carried Carmella and ran away. Meanwhile, Becky Lynch came out and throws Banks and Bayley with T Bone suplexes. This was fine.
Ali vs Shinsuke Nakamura.
At one point, Ali landed pretty hard with that suicide dive on the outside hence why it's called a suicide dive.
Ali was moments away from pinning the intercontinental champion but thanks to a great Mario impersonator in Sami Zayn, Nakamura kicked Ali's head off with the Kinshasa and won his match. Will have to wait and see who's Shinsuke Nakamura's next challenger.
The New Day in Xavier Woods and Big E vs The B Team.
You know how this match plays out if you've been watching the product for quite some time but if you haven't, thank you for reading. The New Day won their match with the midnight hour.
Fire And Desire vs The Kabuki Warriors.
Before this match happened, Mandy Rose gave her issue of Maxim magazine to everybody including Otis. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville lost their desire to continue this match because Mandy ate an insane elbow drop from the pirate princess.
Will Shane McMahon And Kevin Owens Settle The Lawsuit?
Shane McMahon called out Kevin to settle this lawsuit (obviously Omar, what else are they settling with?). McMahon gave the guy two options. Option Uno, with Shane's resources he could keep Owens in this lawsuit in court for years to come if Owens wished to continue this lawsuit.
Option Dos, if the prizefighter ends this lawsuit then Shane hires him back and removes the $100,000 fine. Kevin looks at those options with laughter and says to him that McMahon doesn't get it. The reason why he sued Shane is because he wanted to gain leverage over him.
In other words, he proposed a ladder match with a contract above at Hell In A Cell that includes a stipulation in which if Shane McMahon wins then Owens will be gone but if Owens wins then you guessed it, Shane's outta here and Shane accepted it.
Afterwards, Becky was interviewed about the Hell In A Cell and she ate a beating from Sasha Banks which was very rushed but it was aight.
Considering that Shane lost to Owens at SummerSlam a month ago, it is not the best decision to accept a match like this but WWE might lead this storyline into an unpredictable direction. For now, I'm not interested in this story at all whatsoever.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: opening segment and match, Kofi Kingston interview.
Didn't like: the show got uninteresting after Kingston's interview.
This is the end of Tuesday Night Smackdown Live and it has been a rocky ride but like that cheese pizza saying, one chapter closes, another chapter opens so yeah.
