This is THE final Smackdown before Bad Blood! We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!
-Smackdown is in my HOME.. of Nashville, TN! Country music artist opened the show by introducing AJ style back to Smackdown! The welcome was beautiful and well deserved. However, this was short lived due to Carmelo Hayes interrupting him.
AJ Styles hit the gas and went on to offer a match, but Hayes wasn't into it. Like clockwork, LA Knight (which had a HELL of a pop) made himself known.. and told Hayes that he would be going to Nick if he could beat AJ in a match. After a break, the match began! I thought it was pretty good in the start. However.. we see Styles come down a bit weird on his ankle and that resulted in the match being stopped. Hayes won by forget. I don't know about y'all but I thought this was pretty legit. Things went very quickly on this. After the match we saw LA attack Hayes from behind to end things. It looks like we will be getting that match next week!
-Michin vs. Chelsea Green
We have been in this feud for weeks now, and it seems things are at a head with it. This was the first time in a while we've gotten a dumpster match, and it was pretty damn good. Both of these women went all out and let's not forget to mention they work very well together. We saw Piper get involved at once point, but she was taken out by Michin failry quickly. In the end, we saw Michin power bomb Chelsea into the dumpster through a table and closed the lid.. sealing her win. I thought this was great! It was pretty wild overall!
*We saw Bayley come out and call out Nia. Both women ended up trading some words in regards to their match at Bad Blood. It wasn't long until a fight broke out and we got a little tease of Tiffy cashing in on Nia while she was down. If there is ANYONE from WWE reading this... PLEASE DON'T LET TIFFY'S CASH IN BE A FAIL! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Lol!
-Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton
Did not like this match at all. I didn't see the point of ANOTHER match between the two. However I can see how it does play into the story line. In the end, we did see Naomi pick up the win. I'm so torn when it comes to this all together. Are we going to see a crazy turn of events?? Will Naomi turn on Bayley and cost her the match? Or will she help her win? Will Naomi cost Tiffy the cash in? Or will she stay out of it? I feel this is very confusing and unpredictable in the long run..but you can TELL Naomi will be involved some how.
-Tag Title Ladder Match (DIY vs Bloodline vs Street Profits)
While.. everyone already knows how I feel about the Bloodline and the tag team title situation... I have been really looking forward to this match. It's something a bit different that what we are normally seeing on a regular episode of Smackdown. This match.. was pretty good. All teams did wonderful in working together and keeping everyone on the edge of their seats. In an insane turn of events, I don't recall them having help.. but the Bloodline did retain their titles. I didn't expect them to lose them.. but this does bring the question of WHO will take the titles from them? The Usos? MCMG? Hmm.. Only time will tell, and I hope that it is sooner than later.
Overall: 8.7/10

TODAY is the DAY! It's time for Bad Blood!
-It is VERY apparent that Raquel is coming back. Dom will be in the cage and this means that there will be no one to help Liv get the win. She was also mentioned in Liv's most recent interview that was posted on YouTube/WWE IG. HOWEVER.. will she help Liv or cost her? I've read reports that this will be THE END of this feud between the two.
-There has NOT been much hype for Damian vs Finn.. which makes me think that most likely it would continue? I need more insight to be honest.
We've got so much to go into, and remember I'll be LIVE tweeting about Bad Blood during show time.. Don't forget to drop in and say hello!
until next time
xoxo,
Chels
