It's the Smackdown after Bad Blood and what a show it was! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!
-Smackdown opened with the returning Jimmy Uso coming out to give one hell of a promo following his shocking return last Saturday. It wasn't long until Roman Reigns joined and made the crowd acknowledge Jimmy. Loved this! Now.. I am LOVING this type of Roman.. so much better than when it was champ.. but that is just me. He just knows how to play his character so well in each story line he is in. We did get a comment from Roman saying that he didn't like being "out of control" and in this position. Jimmy mentioned that it was time to reconnect with a certain someone, but it was "no yeet". Hmm.. will we see a reunion just in time for Survivor Series??
-LA Knight vs. Carmelo Hayes
This wasn't has hyped as Hayes vs Andrade, but I still thought the overall match was very good. I loved that we are getting to see more Carmelo on Smackdown, and hope that continues moving forward. Of course, in the end we saw LA Knight pick up the win and retrain his US Title!
-Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair vs. Lash Legend and Jakara Jacksonke
I thought this was pretty tasteless but KO interrupted Jakara and Lash's entrance to complain about Cody.. this comes after KO attacked him after Bad Blood. Randy did try to make peace but that backfired.
This match didn't really give us anything in the long run.. just to say they defended the titles. The match was over within just a few minutes. Why do this? Just kind of seems pointless but that is just me.
-Naomi vs. Nia Jax
We saw our queen and champ give a promo about Crown Jewel. However.. Nia/Tiffy were interrupted by Naomi who challenged Nia to a match. In a shocking turn of events, Liv/Dom/Raquel came out to watch the match. Now remember...this was a non-title match. At one point, Raquel used Tiffy's briefcase and allowed Liv to use it as a weapon to take out Nia. Like clockwork, Naomi took advantage of this.. allowing for the win. Honestly.. I didn't expect that at all! But good for her. Not only that.. someone is still pissed. Not long after, Mami showed up to attack everyone in her path. This whole thing is gonna be insane leading up to Saudi. Also... did Nia say she was going to make Tiffy cash in on Liv?? Hmm...
-Solo Sikoa vs. Jimmy Uso
*Before the main event, we saw KO attacking Orton outside of the arena.. but we all saw this coming didn't we? Oh yeah. I wonder how this will play out moving forward? Are we getting KO and Cody again? Or a triple threat?
Brother vs Brother... oooo.
I really liked this match but didn't like it at the same time. It kept telling the story as best as possible, but also.. I love Jimmy. I wish the crowd would have been a little more into it, but I understand where they are coming from at this point. It's been nothing but Bloodline for years... and now we have a new one.. I get it. Lol! In another shocking turn of events, we saw Solo pick up the win. Roman did come out to do his best to save Jimmy.. but was taken out by a Samoan Spike.
We are FOR SURE getting Jey... and maybe Sami?? Let's go!
*Don't forget! Monday Night Raw was taped this week due to them being in the UK on tour. If you don't want spoilers, don't go looking.
7.4/10
