WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS


Although WWE television is undoubtedly worse when Roman Reigns isn’t a part of it, the company deserves credit where it’s due here — they’ve managed to do a pretty damn good job of keeping interesting stories going surrounding The Bloodline in his absence.
That includes the journey of Sami Zayn, who is still desperately searching for some clout after the bad run he went on, and Riddle, who is equally as desperate in his quest for revenge over Randy Orton being taken out of action.
Their paths crossed on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, where Zayn was representing The Bloodline in a one-on-one match against Riddle, who would be banished from the blue brand with a loss but would earn a title match against Reigns with a win. Paul Heyman intimated it would be greatly beneficial for Zayn if he won, hugely detrimental for him if he lost.
He lost.
This sets up two clear confrontations, both with their own unique intrigue, and both of which should lead to something interesting, pretty much no matter what happens. You should absolutely be excited for Reigns vs. Riddle, even if the outcome is obvious, because they’ve layered the story enough to know where it’s going and done a good enough job to make it fulfilling once we get there.
There being the return of Orton.
But you should also absolutely be excited for the inevitable confrontation between Reigns and Zayn. And there will be one.


And it will be fun.
Again, credit where it’s due for getting this much out of all this with Reigns not even appearing.
Look out, folks, Ronda Rousey might be getting interesting again.
For starters, it needs pointing out that she’s been working on her speaking. I’ve been critical of her promo work before, mostly on the basis that she would often speak in a monotone voice that came across like she was having a one-on-one conversation. This is obviously an issue when you’re in front of a crowd of thousands and need to project your voice.
She was much better with regards to literally all of that this week, so much so that it was plainly evident as she was cutting her promo. There’s still a little awkwardness there, but I thought she was pretty damn good here.
What’s more, she said the armbar her mother taught her is far better than the cheap knockoff Sharpshooter Natalya ripped from her uncle, Bret Hart, and the fans booed her for it. Ronda, bless her heart, couldn’t help but respond immediately with raised eyebrows.
It remains utterly fascinating watching her respond to real time reactions from a fickle fan base who will absolutely turn on someone at the drop of a hat. It’s more interesting with her because she has long been so invested in how those fans respond to her. She’s been delighted by the fact that she’s been so heavily cheered since her return.
What happens if the boos start coming in again?
Just something to keep an eye on while this feud with Natalya gets rolling.
In the meantime, she worked a match with Shotzi, and the fans were firmly in her corner the whole way. The match was pretty damn good, too, with Shotzi giving her one hell of a battle before tapping to the armbar. After, Nattie showed up and slapped a Sharpshooter on Rousey and it looked pretty damn good to me!
Natalya left Ronda on the mat and they’ll lock up at Money in the Bank for the title.

All the Rest
With participants still to be determined for the two Money in the Bank ladder matches this year, WWE went back to the tried-and-true method of holding qualifiers this week. The first one was an all out brawl that saw Drew McIntyre and Sheamus beat the ever loving trash out of each other, so much so they both got disqualified and then kept fighting all around the damned arena. This was my kind of pro wrestling, two big beefy dudes who got good and pissed off and just started throwing hands. When they were finally separated, they were just staring each other down, pissed as all hell, their chests heaving from the deep breathing brought on by the kind of fatigue you only feel after such extreme exertion. That’s the kind of battle that builds to something more. I loved it.

In the second qualifier, Lacey Evans ran through Xia Li, who still hasn’t been given much of a chance to do anything on the main roster. Evans was widely cheered and there seemed to be no hint of her working heel, despite the earlier teases. A big shrug to all this so far.

The Viking Raiders are coming to SmackDown soon! … Again.

GUNTHER won the Intercontinental championship from Ricochet in what was a much better match than I anticipated it to be, not because I question the talent of either of these guys but rather how WWE would put the match together. Ultimately, they had the perfect big vs. small match and while Ricochet lost, he looked every bit like he belonged in there while still putting GUNTHER over big. Really loved everything they did here.

This was a tight show that flew right on by for me. Can’t complain about that!

It's a myth and tactical illusion when any football club tries to compare themselves to us...we are miles, heads and shoulders above everyone else and should act like it.

eg. Lewandowski, Di Maria/Raphinha/Bernado Silva (if Man U secures FDJ). These guys are strongly linked to Barca at the moment. Imagine adding such players to their existing attack.

Perez needs to get us solid backup 9 and RW asap not the ones we will be saying 'they need time'.
Out of all those links probably only Lewandowski will be possible for them.
They can't secure everyone on that list.
Na just flirt and insha'Allah

I guess it also depends on how many comics you followed as a kid. I read the shazam reboot as a kid, and I had fully expected to see black Adam in the shazam movie. I also followed Dr fate in one of those justice league crisis series the one with g Gordon Godfrey. If you follow any of the super hero characters, you will be interested if only to see how true they are go the source material.

Another reason why batman and Robin was absolute shit. Look how they messed up Bane, the man who broke the bat.

Though black Adam was looking like omni man when he caught the missile.
Black Adam was looking like wtf is this shiit grin

Seriously tho, you summed up most of the points right here.

If Zidane signs for PSG, it doesn't change his legend status at Real Madrid.

What should be our major concern now is the number of quality players that are about to sign for Barca especially that beast Lewandowski. Good for La Liga image sha.
which quality players are they about to sign?

In the wrestling business as a top guy there will eventually come a time when you will have to do what is good for ''business''. The Undertaker made a young wet behind the ears Randy Orton look credible in their first match together because he recognised his potential.

Guys like Taker, Bret Hart, Mick Foley to mention a few are loved and respected not just because of what they achieved or their wrestling ability but for the selflessness they show in willing to put others over.

Why do you think a legend like Hulk Hogan is disliked.
Omo I'm tired of telling this guy this thing.

man pu7pl3, I never expected this from you. I've watched it o. You know what I saw? I saw one-quarter of the Four Horse Women, a multi-time world champion, a WrestleMania Main Eventer, the wife of a mainstream star and a mother interacting with jobbers & jokes. Guess what that makes her by implication? She tried to make it make sense, but I must say, I am dissappointed in the company, I'm dissappointed in Vince for allowing that happen under his nose, I'm dissappointed in Seth for allowing his wife take part in that and I'm disappointed in Becky for agreeing to partake in that. That's all I'm going to say about that. It was a huge dissapointment.

Like any other player coming to this Football Club knows there's no guarantee spot in the first team for you.. it's either you eat or get eaten (abi naso dey talk am?! grin )

He's currently sitting on €150-170k at City.. so i guess it'll be just a lil upgrade to say €190-210k

Tbh ah never too put much attention to the time we got English players here, so i don't know how it'll be but looking at the last English man to play at this club and the one at ATM then i'll just hope he comes good for us (if we eventually get him oo)
English players don't usually do well here or anywhere in Spain.
Gareth bale has been the most successful Brit and he isn't even English.
Just know that Sterling will carry all that baggage with him if he comes here.

Bruh!! cheesy you no see the way he took that advanced RPG to the chest like it's nothing. Just for show off.

I like how in the trailer they didn't show JSA fight scenes. Leaving some level of mystery.
I'm anticipating his fight and Dr Fate's. Hawkman go so chop some beating. But I hear the highlight fight is between him and Atom Smasher.

Who noticed this trailer didn't leak earlier than official release? grin WB really kept this one under wraps despite its numerous test screening.
It's very obvious they left the rest of the iceberg under the sea and just showed us a glimpse of his power with this trailer and that's what I love.
The joy of superheroes for me is their feats cheesy even if he didn't use an accent I don't care.

And yea WB tried this time to keep things from leaking. His fight with Atom smasher is obviously going to be dope.
