Friday is the 6th day of the week (OMG, really?) and while it is a start to a hopefully fun and fulfilled weekend, Friday is also the day that Smackdown airs which is a wrestling program that is a current face of the word "mediocrity."
This episode was no exception to the word "mediocrity" and because of that, I'm not going to talk about everything that happened but rather a few noteworthy things to talk about.
I will give some credit to the blue brand for at least progressing storylines like the women's title scene and Otis' love story. Now, on with the short review.
The Bella Twins' Hall Of Fame Class Of 2020 Is Now Made Official.
Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice's overall fan divisiveness is nothing compared to this announcement and even the rumours of them going into the hall of fame. Enough about them, how do I feel about it?
Honestly, neutral. For years, I've not been this invested as to who goes in the hall of fame as much as the rest. It's something that I don't get worked up about.
Would it be great if one of my favourite performers gets a hall of fame induction? Heck yes but I don't get angry when a superstar I'm not a fan of, does get the induction instead.
One of the things that I appreciate about The Bella Twins is that they've found a way to adapt with the times whether it was the PG Divas Era where every women's wrestler got minimum 3 minutes of screen time in their early run or when WWE started the "women's revolution" or the "women's evolution" (make up your damn mind) and wrestled in 10 or 20-minute matches in their later run.
It is a shame though that Brie Bella's last few months with the company terms of in-ring work wasn't good but looking back, Brie Bella tried her best to entertain and it wasn't executed properly, unfortunately.
Their "twin magic" gimmick made them stand out amongst the rest of the division at that time especially as the antagonists when they would use it to you guessed it, win matches. In the world of only "thumbs up" or "thumbs down", I'm giving it a thumbs up but I'm not enthusiastic as the Bella Army are.
Goldberg Meets The Fiend In Person.
This entire build for the Universal championship match at Super showdown was short and lacklustre at the same time. I will say that I'm very curious as to how this match will be constructed.
Who do I think wins this one? I'm going with The Fiend but I wouldn't be surprised if Bill wins this match. If Goldberg wins which would've been a mistake, in my opinion, I would be lying if a Goldberg vs Roman Reigns match is not at least, intriguing to me.
Bayley vs Naomi At Super Showdown Is Happening.
The Naomi vs Carmella match wasn't mind-blowing but I was surprised that Naomi was going to face Bayley so soon given that I thought WWE was saving that match for Wrestlemania 36.
I don't think that a triple threat match between Carmella, Naomi and Bayley would happen as another women's match over at the yellow brand for the NXT women's championship match between Charlotte, Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair is becoming more of a possibility.
Will have to wait and see where the SmackDown side of the women's division brings to Wrestlemania.
