WWE Smackdown 7/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of Friday night Smackdown was (not counting commercials) an hour and 26 minutes and it felt twice as long. Boy, what a boring show. 

The Return Of The Dirt Sheets. 

John Morrison and The Miz showed off their cinematic skills for a trailer they've made, a skill that they're still trying to be somewhat good at. 

Out came their Super showdown opponent in The New Day and they laughed at the notion of Miz and Morrison capturing the tag team titles from them. 

The Usos came out to tell the hosts of the dirt sheets that they'll put them in The Usos Penitentiary but Dolph Ziggler's music distracted The New Day which was an opportunity for Miz and Morrison to hit the tag champs from behind. The segment started off great but it had a lacklustre end to it. 

That Dirt Sheets intro narrated by Howard Finkel took me back though to a time that I didn't know what bills were (yes, I'm that young). Good times. 

The Usos vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode.

A fun match actually. Jimmy Uso super kicked both Ziggler and Roode. Jimmy then tagged his brother to hit a Samoan splash but Ziggler lifted his knees to a near fall. 

The match ended with a double superkick from both Usos and Jimmy hits a splash Samoan style and takes the W. 

We later transitioned into a pissed off King Corbin who by the way, attacked a member of the production team due to him airing the video of Roman Reigns and The Usos pouring him in dog food. 

You could argue one thing that the Corbin character and dog food have in common is that they're both less appetising. Maybe that's the reason why he picked dog food and not the obviously terrible dog puns. 

Elias vs Cesaro. 

That suplex from Cesaro was picture-perfect and the only highlight worth mentioning in this bout. Elias wins with an elbow drop. 

Corbin still complains about what happened last week from the stage area and demands a rematch from the big dog. 

Roman Reigns showed up and attacked him to which he accepts Corbin's challenge but the stipulation? Inside a steel cage. *Major* sigh. 

Who's Next For Goldberg? 

Goldberg via satellite, talked about how he witnessed the men's Royal Rumble match with his son, calling it "downright inspiring". 

Goldberg was interrupted by Bray Wyatt and Goldberg didn't like his tricks so he challenged him for the universal championship. I've never felt so bored and so unenthusiastic with an announcement like this. 

Daniel Bryan vs Heath Slater. 

This match came about when Heath Slater talked to Daniel Bryan in a locker room about the history Bryan had with the Fiend and Bryan replied it by challenging him to a match. This was a one-sided match. 

Bryan wins with a brutal stomp that led to a rebel lock and he still kept the hold even after the match concluded. 

The Fiend sure does change people from Rollins to The Miz to now, the leader of the yes movement and honestly, I like this. It gives characters consequences and a great lead to a change in personality. 

Braun Strowman Celebrates His First Singles Title Victory. 

The monster among men talks about his intercontinental championship win last week to Renee Young inside the ring and then, Sami Zayn with Shinsuke Nakamura, asked Strowman for a rematch.

Braun gladly accepts but Zayn didn't want that to happen and told him that he'll use his resources to put the big man down. 

That so-called "resources" was The Revival and they attacked the big man and he got rid of the former tag team champs, however, he was knocked out by the Kinshasa. Anybody else cares about this because I don't.

Something that I do care about is Otis' date with Mandy Rose and he's prepared his upcoming date with some workouts. Hopefully, that date will go smoothly.  

Sheamus vs Apollo Crews. 

After a dominant win for *sigh* the fella, Shorty G showed up and tried to put Sheamus down but instead, the opposite happened thanks to a brogue kick. Whatever. 

Naomi vs Alexa Bliss vs Carmella vs Dana Brooke. Winner Gets To Face Bayley For The SmackDown Women's Championship. 

A meh main event with a "huh?" outcome. Naomi hits the rare view but Carmella delivers the superkick to win her number one contendership for the SmackDown women's championship. 

I don't mind this win if that segment with Naomi last week didn't exist. Maybe they're saving for a Naomi vs Bayley match at Wrestlemania but I'm just confused by that decision. Will see how this builds up. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The first half of the opening segment, The Usos vs Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, Otis preparing for a date with Mandy Rose. 

Didn't like: Braun Strowman, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura and The Revival segment, Goldberg's announcement.
