It's time for Crown Jewel... it's actually going on right now, but I am waiting until tonight to watch it. It's a little hard to watch when a buck wild 3 year old is going all out. But... for now let's talk about Smackdown. We've got a lot to talk about!
-Kicking off Smackdown: Cody Rhodes
This was pretty much a given overall... Cody did come out to the ring and talk about Seth and his match.. It wasn't the best but it was something. Honestly.. I have no idea with the outcome on this match. I would love to see Cody win, but at the same time.. could Seth have something up his sleeve?
-Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
I am LOVING Sami doing these open challenges, it's so much fun.. and let's us know he is a fighting champ. I love it! This time it was Shinsuke that made his return to face Sami. The match was amazing overall, I enjoyed it.. but it ended with Tama Tonga returning and MFT attacking to end the match. I am so excited about this.. I have a feeling things are going to really heat up with the returns coming up and all. But with no pin on Shinsuke, does this mean he will get a rematch down the line?
-Stephanie Vaquer and Tiffany Stratton vs. Giulia and Kiana James
This match was pretty good overall I will say.. but I really hope this doesn't lead to Tiffy vs Giulia down the line. I take nothing away from Giulia at all, she is wonderful.. but I would LOVE to see more of the title she has being put to a good feud.. It's been pretty lacking, so I am hoping after this weekend, it will heat back up. In the end, it was Stephanie and Tiffy that picked up the win.
-The Wyatt Sicks vs. Street Profits
We got to hear Street Profits come out to their old music and it was wonderful! And sadly, we still didn't see Uncle Howdy. I'll talk about that in just a moment. The match itself was pretty good, and I enjoyed it.. I kept waiting for something to happen, but the match did end pretty clean.. and the Wyatt Sicks retained! YAY! HOWEVER.. it was then that MFT made themselves known, and it's clear that they are ready for a fight. We saw Nikki (of all people) step up to Solo.. and Solo let Nikki know that he was looking for Uncle Howdy.
**I have nothing confirmed, so please take this with a grain of salt: With all the theories and rumors going around, I honestly don't think that Bo Dallas is injured at this time. I have reason to believe that he is on a small break, waiting on the right time (story wise), waiting on costume changes, or.. it could be a personal matter. Please remember also.. we are not entitled to know anything about their personal lives, and as much as it might pain us.. it's better to say patient, than to keep getting our hopes up. After this week, I do think that Bo will back in some shape or form next week. Again.. this is NOT confirmed... just my best guess of how things are shaping up.
-Aleister Black vs. Damian Priest
This match was wild from start to finish, and I really liked it! While I wasn't very sure when this feud first started, I must say.. they work wonderful together. If you haven't watched this match, you for sure need to..
The ending got me tho, it really did. I didn't expect Zelina Vega to come out from the crowd to talk Damian out of going any further in the match. It was then that Black hit Priest with a fire ball to pick up the win. Talk about a wild finish! But is this where it ends? Or could we possibly see Rhea get involved later on down the road? That... that would be good!
Overall: 8.2/10
