WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

 It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason. 

Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed. 

There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."

The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020. 

The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars. 

Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G. 

Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff. 

You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is. 

Maybe I'm ignorant as to how popular he was? 

The segment didn't do anything for me but I didn't hate it so. 

Lars Sullivan vs Jeff Hardy. 

Hardy was stunned that Lars got out of the twist of fate and Lars grabbed him to nail the freak accident and won the match. 

Meh. 

The New Day vs Sheamus, Cesaro And Shinsuke Nakamura.

Before the match, The New Day had a heartfelt promo about the 6 years as a trio which I enjoyed. 

On the commentary desk, Corey Graves talked about the ring rust of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods and yet, we just saw them take the blue belts away from Cesaro and Nakamura.  

Huh? What ring rust? Anywho, the bout was decent. The New Day wins with the midnight hour. 

Otis beats up Sami Zayn because of the way Zayn talked about him. Is the Otis lawsuit story with The Miz wrapped up or not? 

Daniel Bryan's First In-Ring Promo Inside The Thunderdome. 

Bryan cut an enthusiastic promo about how excited he is to work with guys like Kevin Owens and many new Smackdown stars. 

Out came Seth Rollins and he asked Bryan whether he's going to be part of the right side of history or not. 

Bryan criticized Rollins saying that his "leadership" isn't good. 

Rollins responded with an attack on Bryan but the leader of the yes movement fought back. 

Daniel got some back up in Rey Mysterio and his son, Dominik. Murphy also helped the family by beating up Seth. 

After Murphy showed his respect to Rey and Dominik, they left him hanging. 

I thought I was going to see a fresh feud between Seth and Daniel Bryan but after the Mysterio family and Murphy showed up, I was like *major sigh*. 

The Street Profits vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship. 

The match didn't even start because a brawl happened. 

I would be complaining about Ziggler and Roode getting a tag team title shot but WWE barely has tag teams on all 3 brands so….

Bayley vs Sasha Banks Hell In A Cell Contract Signing. 

So, Sasha Banks did sign the contract but Bayley didn't. Why? 

Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ba……… I mean, Smackdown. 

I did like the promo Sasha cut about how she helped keep Bayley's championship throughout her run.  

Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman For The Universal Championship. 

Again, what is the use of giving a championship opportunity to a superstar from another brand if he or she is going to lose? 

By the way, is that Keith Lee in the virtual crowd area? 

As Strowman tried to pin Roman, the chief hit him right on the balls which the ref did not obviously see. 

Despite that, Roman Reigns won the match with a submission. 

Jey Uso slowly walked to ringside and Reigns warned him that the beating he gave to Braun Strowman will be the same to Jey at Hell In A Cell. 

Reigns then gave Jey Uso the opportunity to hit him with a steel chair. 

However, Jey didn't hit him with a chair but rather with a straight right hand and then a superkick and then a chair shot. 

Roman got back up and nailed him with the superman punch and that's how the season premiere of Smackdown ended. 

The emotion when Jey attacked Roman Reigns was *chef kiss*. I felt that not gonna lie. 

Everything about this ending enhanced this storyline. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The New Day promo, Sasha Banks' promo in the contract signing, The ending. 

Didn't like: The predictability surrounding the Universal championship match because a RAW guy faces a Smackdown guy for the blue belt, nitpicking but Corey Graves' commentary on the 6 man tag match.
