WWE SMACKDOWN reviews recaps and reactions BROKEN CURSE I only knew today was Friday because of this show. Well, it took a few years, but the curse is finally broken. This is the main portion of my recap really because it’s about damn time Sasha defends a title successfully. I popped for the finish! It’s vindication for all of Sasha’s fans over the years who have waited so long for this moment. And to be honest, I really thought we were getting another bait and switch like last month on the draft show. And then Carmella came out and attacked Sasha after the match as she celebrated on the stage. That was a bit odd. Carmella has been cutting promos in vignettes talking about being this new untouchable Carmella, but she came out and did exactly what she’d normally do - minus moonwalking. Um… okay? I’m not feeling too badly about Carmella being Sasha’s next feud, but… why? What has Carmella done besides what she just did on this show to deserve a title match? This is really bringing me back to most of Drew McIntyre’s title run, accepting any challenger who did absolutely nothing to deserve title matches. Family matters The arc of the show was all about cementing Jey Uso’s heel turn. Let me say, I do now think this is a heel turn, but it’s clear that there’s layers. Kevin Owens tried to joke with Jey about getting Roman Reigns coffee, and Jey wasn’t happy about it. Owens said it was a joke and walked off. Then Jey went to get interviewed by Kayla Braxton, when suddenly Paul Heyman appeared and said Reigns didn’t clear Jey for an interview. When Heyman brought Jey to Reigns, Reigns told him that disrespect to Jey is disrespect to him, which is disrespect to the bloodline. So that meant Owens needed to be dealt with. I liked this because Reigns is just a friggin badass right now. He is in control, and it seems not just of the bloodline. He had Heyman cowering in fear after he found out Paul knew about Jey making moves without his consent. Before the match, Owens cut a great promo about how when he was being bad and doing things for his family, it was because of his doing, not following someone’s orders. Jey started kind of at half throttle, until Heyman made his presence at ring side. Then, Heyman came out, and Jey showed his bad self. Jey did the ol’ distraction low blow! Now that’s evil, considering his history with that. That gave him the win, and approval for the Tribal chief. Said Tribal chief then came out to show his approval of Jey winning the match. I see what they’re doing here. I love it. Jey is forced to do Roman’s bidding so that his positioning in the family remains. He has to do this and hype himself up so that Roman sees that he’s genuine. I can’t wait to see what happens when Jimmy is back. I think they’re doing this a lot better than whatever the hell they’re doing with Rollins and Murphy. King Corbin def. Rey Mysterio - Corbin had been off of television since the draft so I was kind of hoping that the King gimmick would fade away and classify itself as obsolete. Also, when was the last time Rey Mysterio wrestled someone else outside of the Rollins/Murphy storyline? My goodness it’s been… a while. Naturally because Rey was in the ring, that meant Rollins just had to be present. Nothing about this was exciting except Baron Corbin is back and screw this Mysterio family shit. It’s beyond beaten to death. Ruby Riott def. Zelina Vega and Natalya - Zelina was smart and tried to pin Natalya as she had Ruby in a submission and forced her to let go of the pin. It was a fun visual. And then brilliantly Ruby submitted Zelina as Natalya locked Zelina in a sharpshooter. Fine. Natalya looked real dumb letting that sharpshooter go. Seth Rollins def. Otis - The highlight of this match, and the only thing I really care about, is the absolute L-O-L moment when Corey Graves told Cole, when Murphy and Otis were staring at each other, that it was like Murphy looking into a funhouse mirror. HAHAHAHA!!! I was howling. That’s all. Nothing else matters. Apparently Murphy is re-joining Rollins, but then told Aalyah to trust him, because he was doing it for the greater good. Whatever man. Just end this shit already. Lars Sullivan speaks again - and he shouldn’t. He really, really shouldn’t. Just bad. Billie Kay is back to being awesome - The segment started with Street Profits trying to get a scoop on how to beat New Day from Big E, who’s been mysteriously absent for the past two weeks. E told them if they just laid down, Woods and Kofi wouldn’t hurt them as badly, and then they all had a hearty laugh. In came Billie Kay. I love her and I’m glad to see her back in her comedic role. She walked up to the Street Profits and tried to give them a headshot to apply as their manager. Billie Kay is awesome. Please don’t do something stupid, WWE. The show went by pretty quickly, though half of it was dumb. What the hell was with every single men’s singles match having someone come from the back and interfere in some way? Too. Many. Distractions. Stop. It. I. Can’t. Stop. Typing. Like. This. Help. 1 Like 1 Share |

WWE NXT Reviews recaps and reactions Iron Men After an hour long Iron Man match, NXT did not crown a new champion. Instead, because Adam Cole and Finn Bálor were tied at the end, they’ll go one on one for that championship next week. Any time a show promises something big like a new champion, especially when it’s after an hour long match, it’s going to be disappointing when that isn’t delivered. How disappointing is going to depend on a few different factors. Did it feel cheap? How good was the match? Did it service a greater story? So let’s start from the top. Did it feel cheap? It did in the sense that they promised us a winner and then after watching a match for an hour, just used it to advertise a different championship match for next week. And how are we to know they’re not going to cry wolf next week too? Failing to deliver a promise this big is going to leave a bad taste in the mouth no matter what. How was the match? It was pretty good. Iron Man matches are tough. They’re bound to have periods where there isn’t much going on given the amount of time they need to fill. That’s just the nature of the beast, even if four incredible workers are in the match. But overall, this one was entertaining. They booked it in a way that at any time, a pin or submission could completely change the course of the match. No one was every running away with this. The biggest lead a man had over his opponents was one. And there were plenty of high drama moments with nearfalls that could have shifted the momentum of the match. As the match wore on, the tension built until the climax in the final 60 seconds. That last minute was exciting with a swerve at the end. They were limited by having to fill 60 minutes, but they did the best they could and that was still pretty dang good. Did it serve the greater story? Only in the sense that it got us to next week. And then we’ll see where it goes from there. I understand the urge to avoid crowning a champion immediately. To make the journey for the eventually winner arduous enough that the title feels earned in the end. To pit the two longest reigning NXT champions ever against each other after a grueling hour long match makes the eventually win feel bigger than if it just happened this week. Unfortunately, to get that extra layer of challenge to earn the title, fans have to be promised one thing that was not delivered here. So in the end, I’m not too salty. It’s disappointing, but not “F this” disappointing. The match was enjoyable, though not something I feel needs to be sought out if you didn’t see it. The match next week is one that has needed to happen. (Yes, it happened once before, but that was more in service to the Finn Bálor/Johnny Gargano feud. This is the real deal.) And in the end, I’m still a fan of NXT and in general, they have a pretty good amount of creative good will with me. It’s not like they pull this type of crap all the time. But if they don’t deliver next week, then I’m going to start getting salty. Street fight! Breezango & Swerve Scott defeated El Legado del Fantasma in a street fight this week. It didn’t look like it’d go their way. Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner of Imperium attacked the tag team champs mid match, and given this is a street fight so no disqualification, they looked to be done for. But Fandango and Scott were able to break off, ride a forklift up, and jump on all five of their foes to even the score. This was probably the moment of the match, but it was a really fun bout overall. I do have one gripe though. Tyler Breeze and Fandango wrestled this match in their regular street gear. This is a street fight! The only thing that differs a street fight and a regular hardcore is wearing jeans. Or at least some sort of street clothes. I’m not asking them to sacrifice their fashion. They can wear some designer jeans. But a street fight needs a different outfit. It looks like Imperium is going to get a rematch for those titles, so the new champs will have to contend with them and likely Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza. Having to deal with the former champs likely means Breezango won’t be a one and done team. Building a Friendship NXT is working hard to build the friendship between Tegan Nox & Candice LeRae, a friendship that is already very strained. They were always friendly on screen prior to LeRae’s heel turn. They had teamed together and been backstage together. But they were never established as close friends, not in the way say Tegan and Dakota were. That’s why the last two weeks, NXT has aired very effective videos establishing their past friendship and why it’s upsetting that their paths have diverged. That’s going to play out in the future. After Candice defeated Kacy Catanzaro in her new more aggressive style, she got on the mic and admitted she was distracted by Tegan’s video from earlier. So she invited Nox to her house to talk things over. It’s surely not a trap. Enter Theory Timothy Thatcher defeated Bronson Reed, but needed help from Austin Theory to do so. Thatcher wasn’t looking for Theory’s help. And Austin didn’t do it to aid Tim. It was revenge from the slap Big Thicc gave him backstage last week. It’ll be interesting to see who takes this feud. They’ve booked Reed very well the last month or so. But they’ve seemed high on Theory as well, at least prior to his absence. So I’m curious to see who comes out of this feud stronger. While the first hour of this show was pretty entertaining, especially the street fight, the whole evaluation on the show is based on the meat of it. And that’s the main event. As I discussed earlier, I stand that this was an entertaining match with a disappointing ending, but an ending that leads to an even better match next week. I’m not angry with the finish. But I did leave the night feeling this was all just OK |
