WWE Smackdown Review.
Intro.
As I sit here on a Saturday afternoon. I write this with the knowledge, that Wrestlers from both WWE, and. AEW have been released from their contracts. Now I get this is a study in contrast. Sonya Deville. AOP. Paul Ellering. Shelton Benjamin, and. Blair Davenport, were released from by WWE, whilst Bear Boulder was released by AEW outright, due to violent actions against his fiance. Getting released from your job if it's not your fault is bad, however if you put your hands on a woman in a violent way, then I have no time for you. In order to be human, we have to act human. It's really not that difficult.
Suyperstars Seen Showing Up.
LA Knight. Jimmy Uso. Drew Mcintyre, and. Charlotte Flair were all seen showing up to the arena.
Jey Uso Segment.
I loved this entrance, because this man has something, that if you bottled it up and sold it, you would make millions. He embraced the fans, as the Yeet tour of 2025 continued. When Jey got to the ring, we were treated to an encore, as the love from the fans continued to shower Jey. When he was able to talk, he said that this week he has received support from family, friends, and fans. This started off a you deserve it chant. Jey then called out Cody Rhodes, who continued the tradition of basking in the fans admiration. Both men had a great promo interaction, that led to. Jacob Fatu, and. Tama Tonga coming out, to spoil the proceedings. Tama hushed everyone so that Jacob could talk, and what he had to say was this. Last year the belt that Cody has over his shoulder doesn't belong to him, it's belongs to his family, and Jey would never hold it, this caused a brawl to break out, and just like that the main event was set. Later on Jey told Cody that he was in two minds over who he was going to pick, to face in the Wrestlemania Main event. Jey vs Cody does sound appealing.
Piper Niven vs Bianca Belair Elimination Chamber Qualifier.
Bianca Belair, beat. Piper Niven in a standard TV Match, to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. Chelsea took the loss with grace, and didn't get wound up by Michin, and. Bfab later on. Piper a lot of people hate Chelsea.
Carmelo Hayes Segment.
Carmelo Hayes was made to pay for the crime of battering Tazawa, when he took him out at the Rumble. When General Manager Nick Aldis told the one that doesn't miss, that he was going to be facing Tazawa later on. Carmelo would go on and beat him, complete with Basketball puns. The Match was forgettable, but this segment did make me laugh though.
DIY Segment.
I had fun watching this. DIY came out, and tried to show some respect, as they greaved the death of the Motorcity Machine Gunns career, when they were interrupted by Pretty Deadly, when they hijacked a moment of silence. They reminded Ciampa, and. Gargano of all the times that they've helped them retain the belts. Nick Aldis then came out and said, that both teams will be facing each other now. Pretty Deadly won the Match, and it wasn't bad. It was decent. My message to all the Tag Teams in WWE, just chill out. Oh well at least The Street Profits are back.
The Miz Gets Mugged Off.
I love it when other talent embarress The Miz. I mean it makes me think that life is actually ok. God bless you Andrade, and. Cody Rhodes.
Elimination Chamber Qualifier Drew Mcintyre vs Jimmy Uso vs LA knight.
Even though I can't stand promotrains, this one wasn't bad. From Drew talking about his frustration after last weeks Royal Rumble. Jimmy calling him an ex girlfriend, to. LA Knight stealing the show by breaking the 4th wall, and being frank to the camera, about an issue that affects millions of people. I agree with everything that he said. He took digs at Drew, and you could easily say that this time he got his stuff in. The Match got the internet talking for the completely no reason. This Match was decent, and all 3 men had energetic bursts that sold the physicality of the match. Drew got the win, and is on his way to Toronto. Damien Priest had a backstage interaction with Braun Strowman. It's believed that Priest is the direction for Drew, at the show of shows.
KO Segment.
Kevin Owens Gave us a segment from his car, and he blamed all of his issues on Sami Zayn. I loved this segment. These guys should main event Elimination Chamber. Just think about, two Canadians main eventing a PLE in their home country.
Jerry The King Lawler Was In Attendence.
Jerry The King Lawler was in attendence. I don't know about you guys, but I have a zero tolerance for awful human beings.
Charlotte Flair Segment. ( uh oh ) And Alexa Bliss vs Candace Lerae.
Now this was more like it. This segment, even though it turned into a promotrain, had a nice flow to it, Flair rubbed the fact that she's Charlotte Flair in our faces, in the only way she knows. This continued her tour of the brands, and by the looks of it, she found what she was looking for. Tiffany Stratton came out, and their promo dual was excellent. Flair reminded me in this segment, of a female version of The Undertaker, when she said that, she will make Tiffany famous. Nia Jax and Candace Lerae, then came out, and this promo dual left me feeling like Michael Scott from the office, because Nia wanted a piece of Tiffany, and she got her wish, because next week, she will face Tiffy for the belt on Smackdown. Alex Bliss then came out for her match against Candace Lerae, in an Elimination Chamber qualifier. Alexa got the win, in what was a standard TV Match. Alexa didn't even get any promo time. I didn't like how Alexa was treated. This isn't how you bring back one of your main stars, after a two year absence. And as for Stratton vs Jax 2, all I have to say is this. No no no no.
Jey Uso And Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu And Tama Tonga.
This Match had a good glow of physicality, and a fantastic flow to it. Cody and Jey got the win, after Cody hit Tama with a Cross Rhodes, but it was the aftermath that was more news worthy. Solo Sikoa turned up and attacked Cody, as the show went off the air. Cody vs Solo at Elimination Chamber, oh go on then WWE if you must.
Overview of Friday Night Smackdown.
I had a lot of fun watching this broadcast. Which is something that I haven't been able to say about Smackdown in a long time. The promos were great, and the in-ring action was in good shape.
This weeks Friday Night Smackdown is a solid 7/10.
