Okay, now everyone knows that I haven't exactly been a fan of Smackdown recently. Not that it isn't good overall.. most of it just hasn't been my cup of tea. However, I was impressed this week with most of it. We have a lot to unpack coming out of Summer Slam.. so let's get into it!
-The show kicked off with Cody Rhodes coming out to the ring. It's always a warm welcome when he arrives.. which is great. During this time he talked about his next feud.. and who he will face at Bash in Berlin coming in at the end of the month. It wasn't long after that until Solo made himself known with the rest of the Bloodline. It does seem as well that Jacob is still out due to injury from Saturday. It was KO that made the save and to stand tall with Cody. In a crazy turn of events, we saw Cody offer Kevin a championship match at BIB. I thought that it would be Randy, but seeing that he will be facing Gunther.. I can understand. Regardless, that match is going to be GREAT!
-A-Town Down Under vs Street Profits
This match was to determine who would be facing the winners of the other tag team match (DIY vs Pretty Deadly) later on in the show. I thought this match was pretty solid and in the end we saw the Street Profits pick up the win. With Bobby gone, it seems we are getting new versions of the SP.. and I am loving it. I really hope they are pushed a little more. Also.. are we really getting a break up of A-Town Down Under? I still think it's coming.
-Jade Cargill vs Alba Fyre
This is where things get a little "eghh" for me. I feel like the booking of the women's tag team titles are trash. If you are going to have an active champ lose quickly.. then why have her as a champ? Just change the titles over? I love the Unholy Union.. however since winning, their booking has been awful. It seems they are going to push out this championship run a little longer.. and we will be getting a 6 woman tag sooner than later. This comes from Blair and Naomi getting involved to help their own friends in the group. In the end, Jade picked up the win.
-LA Knight Promo
I am hype for this man. I am so happy and proud that he finally got his title win. This has been a long time coming.. and it comes well deserved. Did anyone also panic for a second when LA slipped off the top rope a bit? Lol! We got a little promo from LA for a celebration and to brag.. that was before Santos came out before his match.. and him and LA exchanged words.
-Andrade vs Santos Escobar
I thought these two worked very well together. However, I wasn't very happy with the interference.. There were a few, and I just felt they weren't needed. I can understand due to story line why they happened tho. So in the end, we saw Santos pick up the win. If I am not mistaken, this means that Santos will be the one next to face LA for the title. In the past, they have worked so well together.. so I can imagine that this will be very good.
-Pretty Deadly vs DIY
The winner of this match will be facing the Street Profits.. this will determine the Bloodlines next feud..This match really threw me for a loop. I wasn't expecting it.. this match was very good. I hope we are able to see more of it. In the end, we saw DIY pick up the win. I don't know if anyone else saw it, but the name plates for DIY are still on the title... Hmm... Does this mean anything?
The show came to an end with Solo/The Bloodline coming to the ring. Solo called him out.. and boy did he deliver. While it was about or less than 10 minutes (which is kind of a bummer).. Roman took out Tama and Loa before getting in the ring with Solo. After beating up Solo, we saw Roman pick the his ulafala but was attacked by the bloodline. Once again, Roman was able to take them out.. while Solo escaped with the necklace.. as he watched the beating from the top of the stage.
Things are heating up, y'all!
Overall: 8.1/10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Will Roman speak next week?
-Will we see Nia/Tiffy? Will there be a riff?
-Who will win the no1 contender match for the tag titles?
-Will Cody/KO start to feud as it builds for BIB?
Up next: Monday Night Raw... I am hearing that Rhea will be opening the show! Heckkk yes! I wonder what Mami and DP will have to say next. The Terror Twins are an a rampage.What about Uncle Howdy? The VHS tapes are over, and their first match is in the books? What's next for the Wyatt Sicks?
xoxo,
Chels
