Friday Night Smackdown Review 29.8.2025

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

I heard Michael Cole say something that I didn't agree with to start off the show. He said that Lyon is the French capital when it comes to food, and even though I'm not french, and don't live in France, I think it's safe to say that Michael has never tried my Bacon And Cream Cheese Bagels. There a taste sensation if I say so myself, oh and Sami Zayn. Solo Sikoa and his crew, and. Drew Mcintyre were all seen showing up to the venue.

Logan Paul And John Cena Segment.

I liked this. It was the perfect blend of everything that I hate, thrown in with things that I like. Logan was given the walkthrough treatment, and from that moment it was all him him him. It's no secret that in real life I don't have a lot of time for Logan for obvious reasons, that can be found with a simple Google search. But he has managed to carve out a decent craft for himself. He called himself a destroyer, whilst stating that fans can't adapt to change. And him speaking in French just reminded of Delboy from Only Fools And Horses. He brought up insults towards John Cena, and just like magic, he appeared. John fired back in the only way he can, with, fire, passion, and, grace, and this was excellent, now add this in with a cameo from Brussels kid, and a hint of controversy, and you've got a great segment. Good work from both men.

Bo Dallas Segment.

Bo was on the hunt out tonight, first The Street Profits, and then later on Melo Don't Miz. This guy was on the grind.

Alexa Bliss vs Chelsea Green.

This was due to be a Tag Team Championship Match, but this didn't come to fruition due to the fact that The Secret Hervice took out Charlotte Flair, before the Match got started. This was a stagnant affair that failed to get started. Alexa got the win.

Alestair Black And Damien Priest.

Damien Priest vs Alestair Black. If you're going to run with this Match, then just get on with it WWE.

Michin vs Kiana James.

Michin, beat Kiana James in quick succession, and will now Giulia at a later date.

Drew Mcintyre Segment.

If this segment was a Linkin Park song, it would be called. Lies Greed Misery. because this was centred around Drews hate for Cody Rhodes, as he tried to twist Randy Orton in coming to this way of thinking. This worked to a degree, because when Randy came out, he was given a Glasgow kiss from Drew. This caused The Viper to go to that place, that makes him to do damage to anyone. Security got in the way, and they got RKO's for their troubles, now what's up with that. This was a simplistic segment, that I got a lot out of. Poor Shane Helms, even Nick Aldis thought that you can't do that to The Hurricane. Oh and R Truth stay off the Whiskey.

Melo Don't Miz vs The Street Profits.

I didn't like this. The in-ring work felt flat, and it failed to out of first gear. The Profits got the win, and will now face The Wyatt Sic, at Clash In Paris. So that's what Bo was doing, he was scouting out the competion. Ok Iget it now.

Jade And Tiffany Segment.

I've said this before, and i'll say it again. WWE if you're going to run Jade cargill vs Tiffany Stratton, then just get on with it.

Sami Zayn vs Solo Sikoa WWE United States Championship.

This was a lofi burner of a Match, that had decent moments that centred around cameos from Big Jim Uso, and. Jacob Fatu. I didn't like this, now don't get me wrong I like Sami as the US Champion, but he couldn't hide Solo's short comings, and this took me away from the Match. Sami as the WWE US Champion does make sense, but at what cost.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown.

This weeks show was a poor mix-bag, that was centred around the same old drudge. Formulaic TV formulas, that are getting tired.

This weeks Friday Night Smackdown is a low 4/10.
