Frtiday Night Smackdown Review.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Tiffany Stratton. Jade Cargill. Nia Jax, and. Sami Zayn were seen showing up to work, ahead of their Matches on this show.

Paul Heyman Segment.

I didn't like this. It felt strange, his segment dealt with counteracting Cody Rhodes, whilst delving into the idea of the conspiracies that surround Brock Lesnar, the fans were on their feet throughout, as they chanted OTC, but Heyman brought them back down to earth when he reminded them of what Bronson Reed did to Roman at Clash In Paris. Cody Rhodes then came out, and he delved into his thoughts on Lesnar, whilst talking about who the real Paul Heyman is. His he an Oracle? Is he a wiseman, or is he an advocate. This was when the Brons faced against Cody, and he gave them a warning that they can't trust Paul. A fight broke out to end the segment. This was all off. I get that this is a good way to start a new promising storyline, but when its outline is centred around a man who's been mentioned in a Sex trafficking Lawsuit 44 times, it makes me feel uneasy.

The Street Profits vs Melo Don't Miz.

I didn't like this. It was predictable, stale, and boring. The Profits got the win. I'm starting to think that Melo Don't Miz aren't one for this world, and you know what? Good, because Melo is so much better than this.

Jade Cargill Segment.

Jade Cargill, met Stephanie Vaquer and told her what was going to happen tonight. Tiffany Stratton, and Nia Jax would do the same thing throughout the show.

Giulia And Kiana James vs Michin And Bfab.

I hated this. It was yet another boring, and predictable Match, that fell flat of all expectations. Giulia and Kiana James got the win.

NXT Hopefuls.

Given the fact that Smackdown was coming live from Orlando, it was no suprise that WWE would cherry pick some NXT talent for the broadcast. I haven't been a big NXT for quite sometime, but I do check in every now and again. Zaria And Sol Ruca, was a interesting choice to face Charlotte Flair, and. Alexa Bliss in a promo segment.

Drew Mcintyre Segment.

Drew walked out in a moon boot, and instantly sounded like a fan of a Premier League Football, because he blamed everyone but himself, he said that everyone is protecting Cody, including the medical staff. Nick Aldis called him out. This led to Jacob Fatu coming out, and telling Drew to stop bitching, and complaining. Drew then gave him a head butt sandwich, and Jacob gave Drew a superkick to end this segment. I liked this. It's no secret that Drew Mcintyre has been one of my favourite things about WWE this year, and his character development is one of the things that I come back to.

Sami Zayn vs ?.

As the broadcast went on. In my mind I started playing a guessing game. Who was going to Sami Zayn opponent, and as it turned out it was Jevon Edwards. If you check one thing out from this broadcast, make sure its this Match, because this was excellent. Sami retained.

Damien Priest Gets Wrecked By Alestair Black.

I don't know about you guys, but this just isn't doing it for me. Just have the Match already. Ok, bored now.

Tiffany Stratton vs Jade Cargill vs Nia Jax WWE Womens Championship.

This was mainly a forgettable affair, and this was down to how the Match was booked. The physicality was decent, but you could call each move coming from a mile away, and this made my viewing experience a bit of a drag. Tiffany retained, and will face Stephanie Vaquer in Perth in two weeks time. This has a lot of promise.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown.

This weeks Friday Night Smackdown was highly underwhelming, and forgettable. Some people would say that's the time of year, but when you dig beneath the surface, this has been a thing since the back end of 2024, and if i'm being honest it's just not good enough.

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