Read on for my thoughts on last night's Smackdown Live and 205 Live.
-- SDL:
- Shane/Roman/Elias:
Well looks like that Miz feud is over. Surely they knew Miz was headed to Raw so he could stay with the NBCU show.
Ohhh looks like we're in for Shane vs. Roman.
Ha. Not surprised Shane's settling it this way.
I like Roman not wasting time cutting a promo.
Ha. Of course Shane had something up his sleeve.
No Ambrose or Seth to help out!
Pretty solid.
- Shane/Elias interview:
I can live with this to elevate Elias.
- New Day:
Goofy Owens is a lot of fun. And definitely fresh.
- Zelina/Adnrade promo:
Good stuff.
- Finn vs. Andrade:
Haha Vega goes the extra mile.
This is nice.
Ridiculously smooth.
I'm liking this a lot.
Very fun stuff.
I love Vega. She's doing a lot.
- Elias/Shane:
Oooh. Interesting direction.
Ha. Smart move getting out ASAP.
- Absolution:
Paige has made a lot of enemies already!
- IIconics promo:
You'd think these two would have taken enough punishment from Kairi and Asuka in their careers.
Fun enough.
- Kairi vs. Peyton:
Dominant. I'm glad to see it. She's got a future.
- Post-match:
I mean clearly anyone can show up anywhere now.
- Black promo:
Wow that's already more characterization than he got on Raw!
- Mahal/Gable/Lars/Truth:
Ohhhh so that's why they moved Jinder.
Hahahhaa great job Jinder.
Fun destruction. Lars vs. Braun at WM36 is something to consider. It will be bowling-shoe ugly, but definitely an attraction.
- Roman interview:
Probably the best way to use Roman. Show up. Superman Punch. Believe That. No long-winderd promos.
- Charlotte/Becky/Bayley:
Of course Charlotte is calling shenanigans.
I mean, Charlotte knew the rules going in!
I like Becky shutting down the weak logic.
Ahhh so Charlotte's going to win after Becky's already had a match?
I did like the shoutouts to Bayley and Ember.
Glad Bayley's standing up for herself.
Clever.
- Charlotte vs. Bayley:
Another fresh match. Glad to see it.
Bayley's fired up!
Effective work here.
I'm glad they're getting time to show what they can do.
That was nice! Bayley looked game.
- Becky interview:
We'll see if Becky can win twice in one night.
- Kofi vs. Shinsuke:
Fine start.
OUCH. That's one way to counter a dive.
I love the sliding German suplex. Never seen that one before.
Pretty cool while it lasted.
- Post-match:
OH COME ON. Right back to the same old Owens.
Owens is a very talented heel, but we were just getting into something interesting with him.
Wow. New Day's been decimated.
-- 205 Live:
- Gulak promo:
205 Live has definitely changed.
Fine enough.
- Gallagher promo:
Tough to have consistent friends on a show with such a small roster.
- Gulak vs. Carrillo:
I'm liking this so far.
These two work together pretty well.
I'm liking the submissions.
Wow. Impressive flying.
This is getting some serious time.
Both men are getting to show what they do best.
Big win.
- Oney promo:
I hope he gets a bigger break than 205 Live someday.
- Ariya promo:
I liked that, although I had to laugh at the idea of facing "the entire roster" of like eight people.
- Maverick/Kanellises/Akira/Kendrick:
Well that was interesting.
- Ariya vs. Oney:
They're playing off each other well.
Smooth work here.
Funny to see a reverse atomic drop and then an actual atomic drop.
Oney adds something new and fresh to the show.
This is pretty solid. Glad Ariya's wrestling again.
That was nice!
- Post-match:
And the sportsmanship continues!
More wrestling coming up.
