Like Monday Night RAW this past week, Smackdown was a skippable show for the most part that didn't do much for me regarding Fastlane.
Unfortunately, It was really underwhelming.

Edge Reflects On Both Daniel Bryan And Roman Reigns.
The headline above is pretty much the gist of the promo but Edge did bring up some of the quality of pro wrestlers he's faced throughout his tenure.
Daniel Bryan made his way to the ring and he respects Edge but his focus wasn't on the ultimate opportunist.
Edge, while also sharing mutual respect, doesn't like how Bryan came up to the universal title scene and that's how the opening segment ends.
Nothing to write home about. I will say, Daniel's promo was pretty good mainly due to his sheer passion.
Overall, this was decent.
The Street Profits, Rey And Dominik Mysterio vs Otis, Chad Gable, Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode.
It's odd to see Dolph Ziggler and Otis teaming together given that they were feuding over Mandy Rose last year.
By the way, That tornado DDT from Dominik to Roode was BRU. TAL.
The good guys won the match thanks to Montez Ford's beautiful frog splash on Roode.
Jey Uso and Paul Heyman had a verbal interaction regarding his losing effort to Daniel Bryan last week.
Meanwhile, in a backstage interview with Kalya Braxton, Seth Rollins mentioned the Cesaro swing that he took last week and he, of course, wasn't too happy with it.
Meh.
Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler and Reggie went shopping for various suits. Huh?
Cesaro vs Murphy.
Really? Again? The match ended via a DQ because Seth Rollins interfered and proceeded to beat the guy.
Edge tried to inspire Jey Uso but Jey wasn't having it.
The KO Show. Special Guest, Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair.
Sasha Banks was glowing about herself and Bianca Belair was like, "Nah, I ain't taking that".
And that was the entire segment. Why can't this be the majority of the build includes the women's tag team champions?
The team of Natalya and Tamina actually defeated the potential Wrestlemania main event, Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair by pinning Belair.
What. the. F**k?
Big E's Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge.
Before he had to face his challenger in Sami Zayn, Big E had some not so good words for Apollo Crews basically saying that he'll beat the hell out of Apollo and offered him an IC Title bout at Fastlane next week.
Oh, and Big E won the match in case you were curious.
Daniel Bryan And Roman Reigns Contract Signing For The Universal Championship.
Bryan told Reigns about how Roman is too scared to sign the contract and how Daniel is better than Reigns.
The big dog with no hesitation, signed the contract but Jey Uso wasn't having the disrespect to Roman Reigns.
So, Jey requested to be the special guest referee for the blue championship at Fastlane.
Edge showed up and asked for a match between him and Jey next week on Smackdown with the winner being the special guest referee and Adam Pearce made that match official.
The end segment didn't do much for me to, be honest. It was fine for what it was.
It does open up to a possible triple threat match between Roman Reigns, Edge and Daniel Bryan and you know what?
I don't hate it.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: (for the most part) the opening segment.
Didn't like: A sense of disappointment throughout the episode.
