Smackdown Review

    Intro.

I love wrestling in January time. The Royal Rumble is just around the corner, and the fan in me gets very excited, and this year is no exception, the list of stars, who are entering the Rumble, is starting to look pretty stacked, if you ask me.

Commentator Walk Through, And Superstars Seen Showing Up.

I liked this. Joe Tessatore, and. Wade Barrett, were given the walk through treatment, as they showed the superstars showing up. Tiffany Stratton. Bayley. Jimmy Uso, and. Carmelo Hayes, all showed up.

       Rey Mysterio Segment.

Rey Mysterio in his home town, announcing he's in the Royal Rumble, what could be better, well, what about a promo dual with Kevin Owens, well if you ask, you shall receive. I liked all of this, both men get in there licks. KO paid respect to Rey, as both men went through all of there achievements. KO asked Rey, when he wins the Rumble, he would love to face him for his stolen belt. Rey told Kevin that he's delusional, just like his son The Human Oven. This pissed off KO, who then started a fight with Rey to end the segment. I liked this. Nick Aldis, told Rey later on, that he will face KO later on. Both Cody, and. KO both refused to sign their Match contract for their Ladder Match at the Royal Rumble, so at Saturday Nights Main Event, their will be a contract signing, and Sanantonios very own Shawn Michaels, will host the segment.

Nia Jax And Candace Lerae vs Naomi And Bianca Belair.

Naomi, and. Bianca Belair beat. Nia Jax, and. Candace Lerae, in a standard TV Match.

Bayley Meets Byron Saxton.

Bayley, had a one on one walk through arena interview with Byron Saxton. I liked all of this.

BFab. Michin. Piper Niven, and. Chelsea Green Segment.

I hated this segment, and what it brought in later on, was pathetic. Piper Niven beat Bfab in woeful Match.

Jimmy Uso vs Carmelo.

The Match was going fine, that was until. The Temu Bloodline came, out and got the Match thrown out. What came next was an impromptu promo segment. Jakub Fatu tried to rally the fans, to get behind his leader, but after a chorus of fan backlash. Solo was seen to be walking out. LA Knight then came out, and had a fight with Tama, and. Braun Strowman had a face off against Jakub Fatu, they will face each other next week, at Saturday Nights Main Event. I wasn't a fan of this. It all felt a bit to convoluted to me.

Motorcity Machine Gunns vs Los Garza

Motorcity Machine Gunns, beat. Los Garza, in a solid TV Match, that was riddled with Interfereence from Pretty Deadly. Apollo Crews tried to give both of my Country's finest gentlemen, some advice, after DIY went back on their word, and got decked by Johnny Gargano for his troubles.

Rey Mysterio vs Kevin Owens

This was a fluent masterstroke in solid TV booking. Ko got the win. in a Match that was riddled with Family insults, and the  mocking of old friends. Cody saved Rey from taking a Piledriver. The Match had superb physicality, that was matched by some sensational exchanges. I liked this.

Bayley vs Tiffany Stratton WWE Womens Championship.

I liked this. Both ladies worked hard to bring out the best in one another. The exchanges were great, and the physicality was on point, but it was little Tiffy, who retained her belt, with her pme finisher.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown.

I had a great time watching this weeks edition of the blue brand. The Storylines flowed nicely, and the action was decent in most areas.

This Weeks Smackdown is a solid 8/10.
