WWE Smackdown 3/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

I made fun of the blue brand for months on end for being the current face of the word "mediocrity" but as of late, Smackdown has been doing an excellent job on building tomorrow's most anticipated show, Wrestlemania. Awesome job, Smackdown. 

Miz TV. Special Guest, The Usos?

The Usos showed up before the host did to state their reasons why they'll climb the ladder and win the SmackDown tag team championship. 

The New Day disagreed as they believed that they will capture the tag team championship of the world to which Usos and New Day teased a brawl between each other. 

The Miz and John Morrison basically were baffled at the idea that they might lose the belts which led to a bit of shenanigans between all three teams. 

Not the best way to produce the final segment before the upcoming tag team title match but it wasn't offensive so there's that. 

Naomi vs Tamina vs Lacey Evans. 

After Tamina takes the W with a superkick on Naomi, Tamina attacked Bayley and Banks tried to do the "Team BAD" pose but Tamina put her down with the Samoan drop. Cool. 

This week's old match on WWE programming is Ric Flair's "retirement" match and I got you guys covered because I wrote a piece about this entire match last year so click here to read the whole thing (spoilers, it's my all-time favourite professional wrestling match). 

The reports were true, Goldberg will indeed face Braun Strowman for the Universal championship and Strowman is definitely losing this one. So much for Triple H's saying that Roman Reigns will be removed "in a unique way". The most anticlimactic announcement I've ever seen. 

Tucker Knight vs Dolph Ziggler. 

Wait, wait? Tucker's last name was removed. Where was I all day? Also, Otis left Tucker without him by Tucker's side due to a text he got assuming from Mandy Rose. The match ended in a DQ due to a zig-zag on the steel steps. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville came out to stop Ziggler from an additional beating to Tucker. 

Otis ran to the outside to check on his friend but a mysterious hacker (the man behind the flashing bright rounded rings lights *coughed once* Mustafa Ali) showed the world what really happened in the titantron. Turns out that Mandy's friend, Sonya was behind the texts as well as convincing Dolph to see Mandy Rose. Rose was, of course, angry about this. 

What's Deville's motivations? Why did Dolph agree to this in the first place? What really happened in Valentine's Day Date scene with Rose and Ziggler? 

So many questions that intrigue me to witness next week's episode. Why can't WWE produce more side stories for the lower midcard like this? That entire saga is amazing and will continue to be amazing at least I hope. 

Daniel Bryan vs Shinsuke Nakamura. 

A dream match that just happened in an empty area. That, among other important things, proves that 2020 simply sucks. I will say that this match was fun. It would've been an all-time classic if given more time (no sh*t, Omar). 

The match ended in a DQ because of a stomp by Cesaro leading to an over the head suplexes on both Gulak and Bryan. I personally can't wait for the IC title match so it should be an entertaining one. 

John Cena Addresses Wyatt's Match Challenge To A Firefly Funhouse. 

John Cena accepts Bray Wyatt's match stipulation, telling his mania opponent that Goldberg exposed Bray Wyatt's weakness and Cena will do the same in Bray's backyard or in this case, his funhouse because Bray's below Cena. 

All of Bray's puppet minions surrounded the ring and showed up one by one including The Fiend himself. Bray Wyatt whispered "let me in" in John Cena's ear and Wyatt disappeared immediately. 

I loved how Cena brought up The Fiend's loss to Goldberg at Super showdown and how he shows how weak Bray Wyatt is according to the 16-time world champion so Bray has to prove Cena wrong which should be the outcome at Wrestlemania. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The ending, biased but the Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels match, the twist at the end of Dolph Ziggler and Tucker's match, Daniel Bryan vs Shinsuke Nakamura. 

Didn't like: How WWE announced the Universal title match between Goldberg and Braun Strowman. 

Don't forget, The latest instalment of The 5 News Week will be up later today. I've already written the article yesterday and I just need to check any updates so that I'll add them in the piece.
