Friday Night Smackdown Reax - 12/20/19

Read on for my thoughts on last night's Friday Night Smackdown.
- Bryan/Miz/Corbin/Dolph:
I like the selling of The Fiend's actions as damaging to Bryan and his family instead of just "yeah he got a haircut and shave."

I love how fired up Bryan is.

Hmmmm we could be in for a triple threat. Bryan and Miz's characters have been developed well.

Ahhhhh there's our mandatory Baby Yoda reference. Those always seem forced.

Ooooh I like Corbin also going for the title.

That was good. Miz and Bryan aren't friends, but they have a common enemy.

- HM/Mandy:
Glad the loss last week meant something.

As much as I find Mandy boring, this was done well.

- HM vs. Revival:
It's holiday gimmick match time!

Well this is fun for what it is.

I like the use of the ringside elements.

Haha they're getting ham over here.

This is very silly, but they're doing well with it.

Not bad at all.

- Post-match:
Fine to show them as faces.

- Dana/Alexa/Nikki/Lacey:
I liked that.

- HM/Mandy/Sonya:
Not awful. I can't help but think Mandy's going to turn on him.

- Revival/Elias:
Interesting. We'll see what this means for No Flips Just Fists.

- Braun/Sami/Cesaro/Shinsuke:
OK I like the Secret Santa thing.

That was good!

- Carmella vs. Sonya:
Wow. Didn't expect that.

- Post-match:
I liked that. It linked one match with another instead of everything being separate.

- Sheamus promo:
He's taking his time doing the actual wrestling part.

- Big E/Kofi vs. Cesaro/Shinsuke:
I like this so far.

Glad Nakamura and Cesaro have something to do now.

This international faction is clicking.

Not bad at all.

- Post-match:
I like this.

- Bryan/Miz:
More good character work.

- Bayley vs. Dana:
Dana's getting some opportunities to break out on Smackdown.

Not bad at all.

- Post-match:
Another good transition from one match to another. It's the little things that make shows work.

- Sasha vs. Lacey:
I like this. Looks like the whole Evans family's going to be involved here.

- Post-match:
Well hopefully Sasha and/or Bayley don't job to Lacey's daughter.

- Bryan/Miz vs. Corbin/Dolph:
Haha I liked the tension of who would start.

OK I loved Bryan and Miz both doing the kicks.

I loved the Deep Six spot.

That was all solid.

- Post-match:
Bray doesn't need to do a ten-minute segment/match each week to be over. Glad to see it.
