Yo, Smackdown this week flew by real quick.
It felt shorter than any NXT episode when it aired exclusively on the network.
That doesn't mean the episode was great. It was good though.

The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns Called For A Rematch With Jey Uso At Hell In A Cell.
The speaker for the Tribal chief, Paul Heyman, puts over Roman Reigns.
However, Reigns doesn't want Heyman to recognize him as the Tribal chief but rather he requested Jey Uso to acknowledge him instead.
Speaking of Jey Uso, he came out to tell his cousin that he showed his true colours.
Reigns played the victim saying that it was the worst night of his life and how he just wanted to help him.
The universal champion then gave Jey Uso the opportunity to face him at the Hell In A Cell.
What a way to kick off this program. The storyline is at its highest level right now.
By far, the best thing about Smackdown other than Alexa Bliss and her story with The Fiend.
Jey Uso vs AJ Styles.
Before the match, AJ Styles was talking sh*t about Jey Uso that led to a brawl between those two men.
At one point, Styles delivered a suplex to Jey on the table that absolutely looked brutal.
The match ended with a superkick followed by the Samoan splash to win the match.
While the encounter was decent, Jey Uso did pin a former WWE champion and that's a big deal.
In a backstage segment, Sami Zayn threw the quote on quote "fake" intercontinental title in the bin because according to Zayn, he was the champion all along.
Meh.
Otis vs John Morrison.
*Major sigh*. I've seen this match more times than I've seen Avengers Endgame at this point (I almost teared up just typing that).
Worst part? The matches weren't even that good. Otis wins with a Vader like splash.
Sheamus vs Shorty G.
Apparently, we're getting a falls count anywhere match between Big E and Sheamus.
Oh, and Sheamus won against Shorty as if anybody was curious or even cared.
The KO Show. Special Guest, Kevin Owens.
What better way to talk about the draft next week then have a RAW guy show up on Smackdown, right?
Owens brought up Bliss' change in personality to which she "doesn't know what Owens meant by that" and stated that people change.
Alexa then further elaborated that she was cleansed by The Fiend and saw nothing but the truth.
Bliss called upon The Fiend and Wyatt choked out Kevin Owens with the mandible claw.
Alexa Bliss was absolutely FANTASTIC in this saga that they're currently telling.
She and Bray Wyatt are the two best character wrestlers right now.
Part of the reason why is that they make you believe in the roles they're portraying.
Matt Riddle And Lucha House Party vs King Corbin, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura.
This was aight I guess? The goods guy won the match with bro Derek on Cesaro.
The mysterious woman we've seen for the past few weeks was none other than Carmella.
No surprise there. But, does this mean we're getting heel Carmella?
If so, I AM ALL IN!
The Boss, Sasha Banks Announced Something Surprising.
That something is a Smackdown women's championship between herself and Bayley, not at Hell In A Cell but for Smackdown next week.
After all that build, you mean to tell me that the feud will lead to a match between them on a random Smackdown episode?
I could somewhat understand if it was setting up for Hell In A Cell.
A very odd decision being made by creative but I'm hoping it will guide to something more intriguing.
Sami Zayn vs Jeff Hardy For The Intercontinental Championship.
I didn't know how those two guys delivered a great match days after a chaotic match because this bout was really good.
Zayn's blue thunder bomb will always be a beauty to witness.
He, unfortunately, didn't win with that move but he did win the match by pushing Jeff onto the exposed turnbuckle.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: The opening segment, KO Show segment, Sami Zayn vs Jeff Hardy, possible heel Carmella comeback?
Didn't like: Otis vs Morrison AGAIN.
