It's the fall out from Bash in Berlin and things are heating up. We are now on the road to Bad Blood coming in less than one month. We will be seeing more and more matches leading up to the big night in the following weeks. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!
-The show started with Cody Rhodes. During this time, he put over KO from their match in Berlin and of course welcomed Michael Cole back to Smackdown. It's gonna take a while for me to get used to this, and right now.. I miss him so much on Raw. However, Wade and Joe are doing a great job. It wasn't long before The Bloodline came to the ring, but it was Solo that made everyone wait at ringside. In a strange turn of events, Cody said that Jacob Fatu deserved a title show, not Solo.. this didn't last long because Solo stared Fatu down until the stepped aside. Things got a bit tense, however it wasn't long until The Profits and DIY to show up to back Cody up just in-case. Nick came out to make sure there wasn't no fight and announced that NEXT WEEK it would be Cody vs Solo inside a steel cage for the title. WOAH! With them moving to USA... and it being the "season premier" who knows what all could happen. I am expencting some surprises during this.
-Bayley vs. Tiffany Stratton
Things are heating up between Tiffy and Nia, as we saw that from a bit of a tense backstage moment. However things heated up even more when Nia kinda cost Tiffy her match against Bayley. I loved this match and really would love to see these two women work together again. Will we see Nia crush Tiffy's cash in dreams? Or will we will a NEW champ?
-Giovanni Vinci vs. Apollo Crews
What in the Mississippi fudge was THIS mess? WWE has been showing off Giovanni for weeks now, and all of a sudden this man loses in less than THREE SECONDS?????? WHAT? I don't know if this is apart of his gimmick, or if Giovanni pissed in someones dinner but that is foul.
-Kevin Owens vs. Grayson Waller vs. Austin Theory
I thought this match was very good, and very fun! For the most part this match was a handicap match.. until.. Theory got a bit upset when Grayson tried to win and made sure that didn't happen. I am hoping we will see this come to a head sooner than later, because the tease has been there for months. After an amazing series of Stunners, we saw KO pick up the win!
- Chelsea Green vs. Mia Yim
I am so torn with this. I love Chelsea Green, and I love Mia Yim. I thought this match was pretty good and overall fun with both women. They work well together. However it was Piper that had the distraction and Chelsea was able to hit the unprettier to score the win. Took me completely by surprise, but I am happy she has the win.
-We saw LA Knight come to the ring to give a promo. He talk about his successful run thus far as US Champ. We then had Carmelo Hayes come out and let him know that he deserves a title show, Andrade followed. It looks like we will be getting Andrade vs Hayes 5 next week to see who will be facing LA. After that we saw LA take out Andrade and Melo with a BFD.
-The Bloodline vs. DIY and Street Profits
As much as I didn't want to watch this match, I did. I was pleasantly surprised by this tho. The match itself was pretty good and these men work very well together. I loved the power moves, and the aerial maneuvers. The later half of this match was more chaos however in the end it was Solo that hit Ford with a Samoan Spike for the win.
I am so burnt out on The Bloodline. I mean.. it's just the same crap every week and it's old. I don't feel like Solo has it right now. He isn't awful, but it just isn't a good fit for this role. Regardless...
Overall: 8.2/10
