WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS


The KO Show came to Friday Night SmackDown this week and it delivered the goods.
I’m not sure I’ve ever laughed as hard as I did when Sami Zayn told Kevin Owens “Elias and Ezekiel? Clearly the same person” and Owens responded to it by nearly breaking down in tears and slowly embracing him with a deep hug. Zayn’s confusion, coupled with his soft “Kev?” really put it over the top.
I’m laughing against just thinking about it.
Owens wanted him to drop everything and come to Monday Night Raw with him so they can call out everyone for perpetuating the Ezekiel lie. Zayn wouldn’t budge, because he’s got business with The Bloodline, and KO, because he can’t help himself, called Zayn a slowpoke for thinking he’s part of the group.
You knew what was about to happen next and it was still incredible.
Sure enough, Zayn revealed he was just being nice, Ezekiel and Elias are clearly two different people, and Owens is nuts for not seeing it. Kevin’s heart broke all over again and I cannot believe this thing has gotten this far and still managed to be this entertaining.
Your mileage may vary, but this is my favorite story in WWE this year.
It somehow got even better, with Owens, now full of piss and vinegar, telling Zayn that not only is he not in The Bloodline but that they don’t care about him at all. He proved it by calling for them to come support Sami and when they didn’t, Zayn walked out sad. It actually felt kind of sad! Like, you almost genuinely felt bad for Sami here.
Not fully, though, because when Owens approached him as he was trying to walk out, he pushed his old friend and told him “I’ve got a locker room to run.” Good ol’ Sami, delusional as ever.
You gotta love these guys.
Later in the show, Zayn appealed to The Usos to join up with them. Jimmy went along with it when Sami said he could be an “honorary member.” He’s an “honorary Uce,” as Jimmy called him.
Sami is now saying “Uce” a lot.
It’s all so very good.


All the Rest
The Usos opened this week’s show with a surprisingly emotional promo, thanking the fans for being there for them for some 12 years now, considering they’ve been on the road for so long now that the fans are the only ones who’ve been there through it all. Except it was a swerve, they didn’t need anyone, and to hell with everyone else. It was actually pretty slick, all things considered, because they sold the hell out of it and had quite a few fans buying in.

They were rebuffed by the new team of Shinsuke Nakamura & Riddle, who have decided to come together after both of their tag partners were injured by The Bloodline. They were acting as though they’ll be a new team going forward rather than just for this show.

Raquel Rodriguez was given another crack at the SmackDown women’s championship, but the match hardly went anywhere before Natalya & Shayna Baszler, motivated by Shotzi calling for action among the women who were being passed over, hit the scene to cause a disqualification. Word to Teddy Long, we had us a tag team match, playa. The babyface team won after a mostly nothing match. It was hardly worth paying attention to were it not for the tease of Rousey vs. Baszler, which ended up being a “blink-and-you-missed-it” moment. My god, please go to that feud sooner rather than later because the women’s division really needs it on the blue brand.

Los Lotharios beat SKYSCRAPIN SHANKY and Jinder Mahal when Mahal was distracted by his teammate dancing on the outside. We’re one step closer to those two being done with each other . Meanwhile, Shanky was dancing it up for Samantha, the ring announcer. The fans seemed to enjoy it.Max Dupri is officially on SmackDown, and he’s a close talker. Time to find some male models!

Drew Gulak teamed up with Intercontinental Champion Ricochet and still got absolutely torn to shreds, getting beat down by Ludwig & GUNTHER. How about the shape GUNTHER got himself into? It’s hard to imagine he won’t be holding a title here very soon.

Drew McIntyre returned as the mystery partner alongside The New Day and they beat the Brawling Brutes in the main event of this show. It felt like an old school main event type of match, where the good guys win and pose with the crowd to send them home happy. It was fine.

This felt like a strange show, mostly because we’re very close to Hell in a Cell and quite literally nothing that happened on the show served as a build to it. When Roman Reigns isn’t around, you feel his absence in a big way and the show suffers greatly for it.

I still don't know why you are hyped for this. Her outing in birds of prey didn't do it for me
it's her dedication to the character that's applaudable...her role in birds of prey being like that was down to the writers not her. She fits the role.

Press his fvvking neck!!!

He's the reason we're yet to see GL series and movie, JL Dark, Constantine and Superman movie(s) since 2019. angry angry. And I don dey swear for HBOMax since, forgetting the production is also tied to this mofo's company. Weyrey just pocket $250mn whilst only delivering Lovecraft Country.

Berlanti with his shithood at least delivered and delivers tons of shows. There's Doom Patrol, S&L and Star Girl to show for his deal.
And it's not even like he is that busy.

Nah, Disney lost the rights. Its a public domain character now. Anyone can adapt it now. Same as Pinnochio which Guillermo Del Toro is directing, set to release later this year. Same as last year's Cinderella.
I'm about to bid for Batman and Superman in 2035 then.

I'm complaining and I don't consume their product. I get all I need on YouTube. That's the point. I'm glad you mentioned "has been working for years". I don't know whether you've noticed, but the popularity of Pro-wrestling has reduced over the years drastically. And the reason is people are simply no longer enjoying the product anymore. You see it in the ratings, in the views, from the sound of the fans in the arenas, from the empty seats at arenas, you see it everywhere. Hell, you see it when you tell an absolute stranger that you're a wrestling fan and they look at you like you're a retard. It's everywhere man, and we can't deny it. Its not now, it's 100 years from now, it's 200 years from now. Then and only then will everyone understand what I'm talking about. And the ultimate proof to my claim is that the product lacks LOGIC.
Sigh, okay bro.
This is something we both love sha so let's just agree to disagree.

fair point. You even went to Japan, my newest fav, but let's leave sentiments aside. I have been talking about this for quite some time now, but very few are getting it, the rest think I'm crazy when I say wrestlers don't need gimmicks and the proof is the less gimmick wrestlers have better success over a long term period than those heavily gimmicked - emphasis on "long-term". Sure, even in Japan that seems to be where the most sports based product live they still have gimmicks, what that means is that no wrestling company is perfect yet. From the dictionary meaning of "gimmick" to it's effect on TV is a clear sign that it should never have been implemented in the first place. The only reason promoters had some success with it is because we were DECEIVED to believe the product was real, so gimmicks and excess storylines brought out a fascination of such movie-like element going on in real life in the eyes of the then ignorant fans. Now they are smart, we have to dump the whole thing and actually take in what will work, that is, making pro-wrestling sports based - a wrestling product, though Entertainment, but is mirrored to look like a real sport. I can explain more on that if you want. If not, we'll have to dump the product totally, cos in the next 100 years, it will heavily decline cos people will stop caring about it.
With this few points of mine I hope I have been able to convince you that gimmicks are bad for wrestling.
I can confidently say that there is no one and I mean absolutely NO ONE that can truthfully say he/she fully enjoys pro-wrestling in any company in the world.
You want wrestling to become like UFC but scripted. 15 minute long matches with the same competitors over and over with no storyline or gimmick? Nah bro it's a slippery slope and it would get boring quick.
Wrestling products especially WWE are still being massively consumed despite all the complaints. Personally I think the complaints are a necessary evil and would forever be existent no matter what happens but those same people complaining would still consume the product too so there is no point in changing what works and has been working for years.

I'm not even active in this forum or this section for that matter to warrant such a ridiculous accusation. I occasionally pop in, and when I see a post which interests me, I drop a comment.

Did I strike a nerve? Are you a Margot Robbie simp by any chance?
I didn't defend anyone... going by this skewed logic tho you're definitely a Florence simp seeing how badly you just want to start an arguement in her favour for no reason.
