WWE Smackdown 3/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

Other than the terrible ending, this episode of Smackdown was in my opinion, pretty good. That is all thanks to the in-ring action and if you watched the show then you'll know what I'm talking about. 

An In-Ring Interview With Matt Riddle. 

Michael Cole asked him about his run on Smackdown so far and Riddle answered by being grateful for the opportunity to be on the blue brand. 

Cole then weirdly asked Riddle why does he wrestle in barefoot (which Michael clearly hasn't seen someone fight in barefoot before *sarcasm*). 

Riddle replied saying that the valuable lesson of wrestling in barefoot is that you can lose everything in a moment (don't know what that means but okay). 

King Corbin interrupts and the king insults Matt for being an idiot. Corbin further tells Matt Riddle that Riddle should bow down to the king and wants to beat some respect in the new guy. 

Riddle was happy for a fight but Corbin declined that so he brought up John Morrison to do the beating for the king instead aka a match. 

While the segment was meh, the opening match was great. Morrison is so good and that encounter with Riddle proved it. 

His standing Spanish fly never gets old. But unfortunately, he lost the match with a modified roll up from the new-comer, Matt Riddle.

After the match, Styles blindly attacked the innovator of the bro mission but Riddle was saved by Drew Gulak. 

Matt is now feuding with not one but two guys? That's odd but you know what's also odd? 

The same person that is accused of being a sexual predator is getting a major program. That's a big Yikes if you ask me. 

AJ Styles vs Drew Gulak For The Intercontinental Championship. 

Daniel Bryan with that beard that is straight out of his 2012 run with Kane, was putting over Drew Gulak in a series of pre-recorded zoom videos during the match. 

Gulak's expertise in technical wrestling hasn't stopped Styles from hitting the styles clash and then the phenomenal forearm to retain the championship. A decent match. 

Bayley And Sasha Banks Celebrate Their Reign So Far. 

Bayley wants to refer to Sasha Banks as Sasha three shows and Bayley three brands. 

They went to say that they feel disrespected but the only person that gives them the benefit of the doubt is the phenom himself, The Undertaker. 

Like Taker, they have a tribute video which was actually good. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross weren't having all that which led to Bliss slapping Bayley and a match between those two women happened. The encounter concluded with a DQ because of Nikki Cross. 

I'm not a fan of Nikki's feud with Bayley. It honestly feels underwhelming even though I enjoyed Banks and Bayley as a duo. 

I'm just not invested in the feud as much as the Bayley persona if that makes sense? 

We got a bit of a preview for the swamp fight between Braun Strowman and "the eater of worlds" Bray Wyatt. It was fine. 

Kofi Kingston vs Shinsuke Nakamura. 

Another great match of the night courtesy of Nakamura and Kingston. Nakamura takes a big win with a Kinshasa and the dude really needs a win like that.

Hoping that he continues to grab some big wins but that's probably not going to happen anytime soon. 

Sheamus Gives A Toast To Jeff Hardy. 

Jeff wants to get this segment over with (so am I my friend. So am I). Sheamus then appeared via his house and the Celtic Warrior would like for Hardy to face reality but he has a solution and that is giving Jeff a wide variety of alcohol choices. 

A personal bartender gave him the alcohol drink however, Jeff attacked that bartender and gave him the Swanton bomb to end this episode of Smackdown. 

What a dumpster of a pro wrestling scene, am I right? 

That segment didn't do anything to enhance this God awful storyline between Sheamus and Jeff Hardy. 

It's a shame because this episode was actually fun as a whole. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Matt Riddle vs John Morrison, Kofi Kingston vs Shinsuke Nakamura. 

Didn't like: The end segment, not feeling the Bayley and Nikki Cross feud.
