Smackdown was probably the only time in current WWE TV that I didn't feel the time slot.
Keep in mind, I live outside of the US and I was watching this IN THE FREAKING MORNING.
Oh, and the show was a solid program.

Backstage, Sethy Enjoyed Edge's Promo Until……….
Edge mentioned his wife and I thought the promo was going in the "wide eyes open" direction but instead, he basically said that he'll end the saga of himself and Seth inside Hell In A Cell.
It was a decent promo but isn't noteworthy.
Rollins' entire dialogue later in the night? Well, that's a different story. Seth is just so good at playing a goofy pick, it's pure comedy at this point.
I mean, if his "101 dalmatians" look doesn't convince you of his comical ways, I don't know what is.
Finn Balor vs Sami Zayn. King Of The Ring Tournament Semi-Finals.
Other than the Xavier Woods and Ricochet encounter, this tournament has been nothing but a quick snooze fest, honestly.
I love both guys but damn, this match was not for me. Finn advanced in the finals with the coup de grace.
Naomi vs Sonya Deville And Shayna Baszler.
Sonya played as a POS so well here and it did a great job of building some empathy and compassion towards Naomi and her current struggles within the WWE Kayfabe universe as seen by her unfortunate loss to Naomi.
Yes, the match length is too damn short (a common pattern in the women's division, unfortunately) but in this instance, the circumstances made sense here.
Carmella vs Zelina Vega. Queen's Crown Tournament Semi-Finals.
Speaking of a "quick snooze fest" tournament. Zelina Vega is now in the finals. Cool.
Happy Corbin Wasn't Happy After Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs Interrupted His 'Happy Talk'.
Happy Corbin's fit looks like a pastey Floridian. Now, was my comment funny? Maybe but my lame jokes should tell you that I didn't care about this entire segment.
The Street Profits vs The Usos For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship In A Street Fight.
Finally, some good f**king wrestling. The Usos retained the tag team championship with a double frog splash to Angelo Dawkins.
To be frank with you guys, I wouldn't hate a rematch later down the line but this is probably the end of their series of televised matches.
Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch.
I love Sasha Banks but what was that wrestling fit? It is as confusing as her Covid takes.
Nevertheless, the match was really good which isn't surprising considering how well they know each other. Their chemistry translated pretty well inside the squared circle.
Belair's intentional assist led to a victory from Sasha Banks.
Brocky Brock And His Saucest Supreme, Made Roman Mad Again.
The entire contract segment was Heyman sh*tting his pants in fear while Brock was like, "I read the contract thanks to my advocate, Paul Heyman".
I don't know who's sillier, this Brock Lesnar or the Lesnar that danced with a mariachi band 17 years ago.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Silly Brick lasersword, Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch, Street Profits vs The Usos, "101 dalmatians' ' Seth Rollins.
Didn't like: The King Of The Ring and Queens Crown Tournament.
