WHAT A FREAKIN SHOW! I am not going to lie, I am fully back with loving Smackdown lately. And this show delivered! We are ONE week away from Crown Jewel and things are heating up greatly! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!
-Randy Orton kicks off Smackdown
We saw Randy make his way to the ring, but we also saw him make sure to speak with Triple H before hand in gorilla. If you'll remember last week, Nick Aldis refused to give Randy a match with Owens. Now here we are. Once to the ring, Orton demanded Triple H come to the ring and oh boy did he. Randy then accused Hunter of protecting Owens from this fight.. but in a weird turn of events Hunter said he was doing it to protect Randy from Owens.. Oooo....The two went back and forth, becoming a little heated as time went on. Finally.. Hunter agreed to give him the match at Crown Jewel.. but made sure to tell him to watch his back. Hmm.. is this telling what might come before their match? I though this was wonderful and really told a story and backstory of it all.
-Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes
It's match number 7 for these two.. and boy can they deliver in a match! We also saw LA Knight as the special guest ref for this match as well! I thought the match itself was pretty damn good.. both men work so well together and honestly.. I would love to see more of them together. I know I am pushing it when I say this.. but they would be AMAZING as a tag team. But that is just my opinion. Melo accidentally kicked LA out of the ring.. which resulting in LA pulling him out of the ring and slamming him into the announce table. Andrade and LA got into it as well.. resulting in LA giving him a BFD. LA ended up ringing the bell himself and declared himself the winner. While I love LA so much. .and this run, I don't think this was the best way to end this match. But I can understand for the set up.. After the match, Nick caught up with LA and was PISSED. It looks like we are getting a triple threat at Crown Jewel! I hope this match delivers!
-Naomi vs. Candice LeRae
Are we seeing the fall of Nia and Tiffy? Seems like it. This has me wondering what will be happening at Crown Jewel on next Saturday.. Hmm..
I am pretty pumped to see Candice on Smackdown and not just Speed. While some of this match was a little wonky, it still was pretty good. We did see Indi get involved, as well as Bayley. Naomi used this distraction to her advantage and got the win. I could see them doing this match again.. but without the "distraction" to maybe make a better match. I wouldn't be mad at it. But does this mean we are getting Bayley vs Indi next?
*Cody Rhodes and Gunther: Face to Face
I liked this! It was a little different, but still kinda similar to their last week. I knew things were going to be heated (as they always are, closer to the match) but I didn't expect Cody to lose his cool like that. I didn't expect him to attack Gunther. I loved it! However, Ludwig showed up to help.. that was until Randy came to help Cody to end the segment. People are pointing out the look Randy had while giving Cody his title.. Please don't do this to me. Please don't let Randy turn on Cody right now.
*Also.. I've seen the rumors. If Bill Goldberg cost Gunther the match and starts their feud... I'll cry. And I don't mean happy tears. Please don't do this to everyone. Gunther is young, protect him at all cost. Thank you.
-DIY vs. Motor City Machine Guns
I have never been so ready for a match in my entire life. It was so good to see Shelley and Gargano in the ring together! This match was VERY good.. and it was a very high energy match. Both teams brought it to each other and you could tell the importance of it all. Sadly.. there was a bit of miscommunication and Gargano super kicked Ciampa off the apron. Because of this.. Shelley and Sabin were able to pick up the win.. becoming #1 conditioners for the tag titles! But.. this got the wondering if this will cause issues between DIY moving forward? Please don't split them up!
-Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa vs. Motor City Machine Guns
This was SHOCKING to me.. But the Bloodline came out and introduced themself to MCMG. This led to a match, as the Machine Guns were ready and asked for their title shot. Nick agreed to it, and sent a ref to the ring. I was NOT expecting this AT ALL.. but boy am I glad it happened. We saw Jimmy Uso make an appearance and attack Solo and Jacob Fatu. Roman soon joined and they all fought around the ring. Another masked man came out and took out Tama/Tanga.. this ended up being Jey Uso! In the end, this was enough for MCMG to take the upper hand and get the win! WE HAVE NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPS YALL! I don't give a damn what ANYONE says.. these two men deserved it! I could go on a 300 page rant about how much I love MCMG and how they deserve this, but I'll spare you this one time. Now.. let's just hope this really jump starts the tag team division to get their ass in gear.
Smackdown ended with Jimmy and Jey hugging in the middle of the ring as Roman looks on from the stage.
WHAT A FREAKIN SHOW YALL!
Overall: 9.7/10
