I am a little later than normal on my rundown for Smackdown. We've had a rough couple of days with James and my husband. This sickness has been kicking ass left and right. However, we are almost out of it. We've got a lot to talk about before Bash In Berlin so let's get into it!
Before we get started.. I know Bash In Berlin has already aired, but I have not had the chance to watch it just yet. I am going to give a full run down tomorrow, so be expecting that tomorrow morning!
-LA Knight open challenge
The show opened with LA Knight coming to the ring for his open challenge. I wasn't sure who to expect at first, but after his music hit.. I understood. It was Ludwig Kaiser! The pop these two men got was wonderful and well deserved! The match itself was wonderful, I wouldn't mind seeing these two work together again sooner than later. Of course, like clock work we didn't expect there to be a title change.. and it was LA Knight that picked up the win.
-Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin vs. Angel and Berto
Honestly, I was kinda shocked about this one. I love both of these teams, and have been really pushing for them to get more TV time. I thought this match was very good overall, but I would love to see more of a story line moving forward. I am REALLY hoping to see them again next week. In the end, it was Angel and Berto that picked up the win. This one really threw me for a loop, but I love to see it.
-Cody Rhodes/KO promo
We saw a very tense situation in the ring with Cody/KO. We saw KO talk about Cody having a knee injury and wasn't going into this at 100%. However, Cody told another story.. and said he was fine. This promo was very tense in every way and made you wonder about the outcome of this match at BIB. Will we see a major heel turn? Who will it be? Cody.... or Kevin Owens?
-Carmelo Hayes vs. Andrade
Once again.. we saw these two go at it, and boy did they. Each time these two have a match, it's AMAZING. This match once again.. delivered! I believe this is the 4th time these two have been in the ring together and in the end.. it was tied up with a win from Hayes. It looks like we have a 2-2 match up here.. will they go for match #5? PLE maybe? I wouldn't mind that at all!
-Nia Jax vs. Mia Yim
This match.. surprised the hell out of me. First of all, I LOVE some Mia Yim! I love that the WWE has been having her on and showcasing her more and more lately. These two beat the hell out of each other and really told the story overall. Being a street fight, we really got to see such a great intense side of Yim.. that I hope we can see more of sooner than later. It wasn't long until we saw Tiffy run in.. and it almost seemed we could have gotten a cash in on Nia... YIKES. After that Berlin got the shock of having Bayley return to take out Tiffy. In the end, we saw Nia take out Mia with a trash can.. dropping from the top rope. WOAH. This one threw me for a loop. Are we getting hints of a turn and Tiffy/Nia having it out for each other? Seems that way!
Overall: 7.9/10
