This episode of Smackdown is a great example of the words, "unnoteworthy" and "skip that sh*t" because damn, nothing actually happened here.

Roman Was Like, "Rumours Give Losers False Hope".
That statement above didn't make it clear whether it's about his next challenger or the fact that he's talking sh*t about the folks that wanted all three spidermen in the upcoming No Way Home movie.
A pretty minimal opening segment that wasn't too noteworthy but it did solidify the effectiveness of Roman's words.
Drew McIntyre And Jeff Hardy vs Happy Corbin And Madcap Moss.
Speaking of things that aren't noteworthy. The good guys won. Cool.
Ridge Holland vs Cesaro.
Nothing screams WWE writing than some good old fashioned 50/50 booking. I will say, those two guys so far, have pretty good chemistry as seen by a good bout. Cesaro won with a roll-up (aka the most protective move in all of professional wrestling).
Rick Boogs vs Angel In A Thanksgiving Leftovers Throwdown.
Angel as in Angel Garza not Angelus from Buffy the vampire slayer you creeps!
When a match includes wrestlers throwing food around, you know it's a sh*t break match.
Angel wins (unless you're one of the angels falling down at the end of season 8 of Supernatural) with the wind clipper.
Say what you want about how Xia Li is going to be utilized within several months, those comic book vignettes are very much well-produced.
Toni got a pie right on the face by Charlotte Flair. I mean, ewwh!?
Sasha Banks And Naomi vs Natalya And Shayna Baszler.
A team BAD reunion of sorts and they won the match thanks to a sunset flip to Natalya.
I got some words for you, Sonya. Black women are beautiful but let me refocus. Black women are beautiful.
Paul E Dangerously is still shaking whenever Kalya Braxton asks the guy regarding Brock Lesnar's status. Just breathe in and out, Pauly and maybe just maybe, Roman might find out about what's going on with you and my man brick lennor. Oh, and Brock's suspension was lifted and will be on the blue-white ring stripes show next week. Crap.
A Black Friday Invitational To Determine The Next Challenger For The Universal Championship.
Just like what happens on an actual black Friday, people are fighting for the opportunity to get what they want.
In this case, it's for a universal championship while regular people will brawl over Vizio TVs or something.
And the outcome is the least you expected because Sami Zayn won the whole thing to become the number one contender for the universal championship.
Don't know how to feel about this other than nice!?
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Cesaro vs Ridge Holland
Didn't like: The 50/50 booking of Cesaro vs Ridge Holland, an overall skippable episode.
