Closing Ideas on WWE Smackdown
I assumed it was a superb episode of Smackdown from high to backside. It will get a 9/10 from me, which is my excessive for any TV present I’ve reviewed this yr. There was plenty of nice content material all through the evening. Reserving three triple threats might sound repetitive, however I appreciated all three matches and so they all had inventive finishes. Chelsea Inexperienced successful in a match with Bianca Belair is good. Carmelo Hayes received an enormous win as effectively regardless that most individuals watching might need thought Randy Orton would win. The opposite triple menace was additionally plenty of enjoyable with Andrade getting the large victory.
The CM Punk stuff was attention-grabbing. Punk didn’t announce if he was cleared to return to the ring, however he did get interrupted by finest buddy Paul Heyman. Punk was saved from a Bloodline assault by Cody Rhodes. Nonetheless, Drew McIntyre arrived as a shock and beat up Punk though we by no means noticed it. We simply noticed Punk as a bloody mess whereas Drew had blood on his arms. It made Drew like a mendacity dirtbag as a result of he mentioned he stop on Uncooked, however guess what? Heels lie, my associates. It’s an exquisite heel transfer so as to add much more warmth to this Drew/Punk story. I adore it.
In the primary occasion, Cody Rhodes’ match with Solo Sikoa solely went a few minutes earlier than The Bloodline interfered. Nonetheless, Solo had a plan as a result of Jacob Fatu made his debut with the group and he was a Samoan badass! Jacob took out Owens, Orton and Rhodes by himself. That splash off the highest to place Cody by way of the desk was very spectacular. I’m so glad Jacob is there as a result of he’s higher than different guys in The Bloodline and reserving him like a dominant badass straight away is a clever transfer. Superior present.
.@CodyRhodes is combating for his life!
We’re speechless… 😧#SmackDownpic.twitter.com/syYV6RenX6
