We had one heck of a Smackdown, leading up to TONIGHT'S Money in the Bank.. so let's get into it!
-Kicking off Smackdown
I really enjoyed this angle of seeing all the Superstars arriving.. But it wasn't too long until we saw Seth Rollins and his new group come to the ring. I do feel that it would be too obvious for Seth to win it, but we will see. Not long into the promo, Solo, Jacob, and JC arrived to exchange words. This was pretty good I would say, and does keep the story going into not only the MIB but within the Bloodline saga. After Seth's group left, Jimmy attacked JC.. which of course led to a match.
-Jimmy Uso vs. JC Mateo
The match itself was pretty good, but still a little iffy on where this is all going overall. While the match did have a couple of fun spots, it didn't exactly blow me away. In the end... it seemingly showed that Fatu accidentally cost JC the match.. allowing Jimmy to pick up the win.
-Zelina Vega vs. Piper Niven
I am a little conflicted about this. I love Zelina.. and Piper is wonderful. However.. this whole situation is driving me insane. It's the SAME match over and over again. Now.. I do understand that Chelsea got hurt and they are kind of having to stall, but omg. Overall, the match was okay. In the end, there was some others involved to help Piper.. but it just wasn't enough. Vega picked up the win. Giulia appeared, and attacked Vega at the end.. pretty much announcing that she will in fact be the next opponent for the Women's US Championship.
-LA Knight vs. Aleister Black
I had a feeling about this match, but seriously.. who is going to eat the pin going INTO MIB tonight? It was tense, for sure.. and I actually enjoyed it. Both men looked wonderful overall as well. But it was Seth Rollins that attacked LA Knight resulting in a DQ. Regardless, this whole match for MIB is for sure going to be insane. I honestly can't predict who will win.
-Vaquer, Ripley and Bliss and vs. Perez, Giulia and Naomi
I really enjoyed this match! All women worked so well together, and going into MIB.. I can tell it's going to be good. What really stood out for me was Naomi leaving at the end of the match.. all but basically screwing over Roxanne.. not allowing her to tag, resulting in her pin. I'll get to my predictions in just a little bit tho.
-Penta and Andrade vs. The Creed Brothers
This match was so fun to be honest, and I really wasn't thrilled about this match. Boy, was I wrong! Once again, this led to more interesting thoughts to what was to come tonight in the men's match. STILL not happy about Chad Gable... but it isn't the end of the world. In the end, Penta and Andrade got the win. But it wasn't over.. we (once again) saw Seth Rollins and his crew come to the ring and raise hell.
-Cena/Paul and Cody/Jey
This whole segment was WILD from the start. While words were exchanged, it ended it madness. Cena and Paul ended with the titles being held above their heads.. so what is the ending to all of this? Are we going to see Cena and Paul come out victorious? Or will there be any help along the way?
Overall: 7.4/10
