Did anyone else not really like this Smackdown? Because I have super mixed feelings overall..
We are now ONE week away until the Elimination Chamber.. and shit is hitting the fan. Let's get into it!
-The show kicks off with Nick telling Cody he won't be in the main event and The Rock.. would like to have a word with him basically.
-Drew McIntyre vs. Jimmy Uso
The match itself was okay, but feel like it's done over and over again. What is the overall plot with these two? Roman? Regardless, it wasn't over the top match.. but just okay. In a shocking turn of events we did see Jimmy steal the win.. with a brutal beat down at the end at the hands of Drew. Things are looking iffy for Drew moving forward, but it seems it just pisses him off even more. Hmm.. where is this going overall? Because I am dying to know the end game for Mania for him..
-The Miz and Carmelo Hayes vs. R-Truth and LA Knight
This whole thing had me cackling. I love everything R-Truth.. seriously, he is such a gem. And the reveal for LA Knight was too funny. I did see a lot of people saying it was going to be Ricky, but think again my friends. The match was okay, that was until Nakamura decided to cost R Truth and Knight the match. I guess we will be seeing LA Knight and him go at it at the chamber?
-Tiffany Stratton vs. Candice LeRae
Before the match, we saw Tiffy come out to give a little promo about being picked by Flair, but was interrupted by Nia and Candice.The match was good, I'll give it that. I do feel like people really sleep on Candice, but that is just me. Flair did come out at one point, and went to commentary. Tiffy got the win but was taken out by Nia.. in which Trish came out to help but was taken out as well. I have a feeling this tag match at EC will be so good! And of course to end things.. Flair stood tall as she pointed at the Mania sign. PLEASE for the love of God don't let Tiffy lose like this at Mania... it just wouldn't be right.
-The Rock and Cody Rhodes
What in the Mississippi fu** was that? First of all.. of course (we knew this a month ago) Wrestlemania 42 was announced for New Orleans. And then the Rock went on to talk about Cody after he came out. The two spoke for a while, and that is where things got weird in the worst way. The Rock wanted Cody to become "his champion".. and this fool actually said "I want your soul" .... Excuse me sir... what did you say? Overall this whole promo/segment rubbed me the wrong way. One moment The Rock was baby face and then next he went full asshole heel. MY GOD the CROWD was confused and it was very apparent, they didn't like it either. I really hope they don't continue to with this whole "sell your soul for fame and fortune" because.. in basic terms... Imma head out. I don't like that shit, it's weird and makes me hella uncomfortable. And plus.. it just isn't needed. And yes.. I know all of this is "scripted" but still.
-DIY vs. Pretty Deadly
Didn't like it. Not needed, and a story line that never ends. First of all the little promo that DIY did, wasn't needed by any means. The match didn't even really get started until Street Profits came out and raised hell.. taking out EVERYONE. DIY, Pretty Deadly, and even Motor City Machine Guns that came out to help. And can we all be happy that Alex Shelley has his blonde streak back.... because YES!
It's more than safe to say, we will be getting a massive match at Mania for the tag team titles... and Street Profits will be winning. This isn't a bad thing by the way, it just should have been done A LONG time ago is all.
-Damian Priest and Braun Strowman vs. Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa
I very much enjoyed this match! It was very intense and hard hitting. All men work so well together... and the story with The Bloodline is going crazy right now. The tension between Fatu and Solo is INTENSE and I love every single second of it. Not only did we see tension earlier in the night backstage, but we saw Fatu "accidentally" super kick Solo.. Things just weren't going right for The Bloodline and Damian Priest and Braun Strowman picked up the win. Also.. can we please talk about how well they team together?? Because yes.
Overall: 6.8/10
