WWE Smackdown 8/11/19 | My Coherent Review.

Unlike last week's show, we've now tuned in to its regular scheduled episode of Smackdown this time in Manchester, England and it was the usual Smackdown formula. An uninspired episode of Smackdown on Fox with the exception of last week's episode of course.  

King Corbin. Just King Corbin. 

King Corbin opened his mouth by stating the obvious that at Survivor Series, RAW will battle SmackDown and NXT in the name of brand supremacy. Baron then went on to praise Roman for fighting Leukaemia but he also said that Roman has a small package basically. 

Afterwards, Corbin played a video of a dog barking but in a soft tone which was his version of Eddie Murphy's delirious in the sense that it was actually funny to him and ended this promo basically telling that he'll beat Roman in the main event of Smackdown. 

Corbin is known for his decent mic skills but this ain't it. It was lame in so many ways that Dr Strange in Avengers: Infinity War had to slow himself on finding ways of how that promo was so God damn lame (to non-Marvel fans, that reference would've lost them like that Christopher Reeves' Superman Gif). 

The New Day in Kofi Kingston And Big E vs The Revival For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship. 

A decent match. Both members of The Revival delivers a DDT. The match ended with a modified Hart Foundation's heart attack to Dash Wilder, however, instead of the clothesline, it was the trouble in paradise to win the tag team championship. That finish, was a way to honour the old school while simultaneously adding an innovative spin to it. 

Sami Zayn was trying to convince Bryan to join Zayn and Nakamura's side meanwhile, Imperium (yes, The group from NXT UK) were beating up Heavy Machinery during Machinery's entrance. 

Also, Kalya Braxton interviewed Bayley and Sasha Banks about Shayna Baszler and Sasha said that the NXT women's division will always live on their shadow given that they put that division on the map (that was a great answer). 

Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro vs Ali and Shorty G. 

The commentary were talking about CBS's video piece on Ali's journey as a Muslim pro wrestler and you guys should watch it because it's good. 

Thanks to Sami Zayn, Nakamura hits the Kinshasa to Ali and won this tag team match alongside Cesaro while Daniel Bryan was looking on near the stage area. 

They should stretch this story out till Wrestlemania season because it's a great story if executed right but WWE doesn't think about next month or the next 6 months if that. 

Nikki Cross vs Sasha Banks. 

Nikki knocked out Bayley for a bit with a punch but when Cross tries to handle Sasha Banks inside the ring, Bayley distracted which gave Banks the control in this match and lasted in the end with the bank’s statement. 

Shayna Baszler came back and did what she did last week, beat up Bayley once more. Sasha Banks' new entrance is something I should get used to because I'm not liking it right now. 

Sami Zayn told Daniel Bryan that Bryan should've celebrated, however, the new universal champion in The Fiend, choked out Daniel with the mandible claw. Probably the most interesting thing about this episode. 

Tyson Fury's First WWE Appearance Following Crown Jewel. 

A man that gave the fans one of the worst professional wrestling match of the year in Tyson Fury said in an in-ring promo that he has unfinished business with Braun Strowman to which the monster among men immediately showed up without Fury calling him out. 

Fury offered to shake his hand and Braun Strowman with no revenge in his eyes, shook his hands which led to Fury telling him that they should be a tag team. 

The B Team came out and said that the letter B stands for fearless and Strowman took them out with a shoulder tackle from Strowman and a knockout punch from Tyson Fury. 

Other than B Team's funny line, this was a waste of my miserable time. No Fs given when watching this segment. 

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville vs Carmella and Dana Brooke. 

The babyface won this tag team bout with an impressive looking rolling senton from the top rope by Dana Brooke to Sonya Deville. 

Roman Reigns vs King Corbin. 

Baron Corbin has some ring gear for the first time in a year so that's cool I guess? Dolph  Ziggler and Robert Roode showed up for some reason and stomps on Reigns without the ref's awareness. 

Reigns was about to end this match with a W in his record but after Ziggler ate a spear by Roman, Corbin immediately took Reigns and the king takes the W. The match was okay. Nothing too special. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: The finish of the tag team title match, Sasha Banks promo in her interview with Kayla Braxton, The Fiend choking out Daniel Bryan leads to an interesting cliffhanger. 

Didn't like: King Corbin's promo, the Tyson Fury segment with Braun Strowman.
