Friday Night Smackdown Reax - 8/21/20

 Read on for my thoughts on last night's Friday Night Smackdown.

- Vince/Fiend/Braun/RETRIBUTION:

It made sense to start Thunderdome with The Fiend.

No way does RETRIBUTION destroy Thunderdome! Amway Center will have a fit!

That was all pretty wild. I hope RETRIBUTION has recruited other upset roster members.

I like that segue to Sheamus vs. Big E.

- Sheamus vs. Big E:

Pretty solid work so far.

I like this physicality.

Haha same endings as ever.

- Jeff backstage:

Well we know he wasn't attacked by Gallows and Anderson!

- LHP/Cesaro/Shinsuke:

They clearly feel that having more chaos will help audience levels.

- Cesaro/Shinsuke vs. Lince/Gran:

I like the work between Gran and Cesaro.

Enjoyable work here.

Solid action all around.

That was a good ending.

- Post-match:

Honestly, sure, split the group up and move them to different shows. They're not doing much else.

- AJ interview:

Hahahah I like him more as a heel.

I liked the triple champions spot.

- Mandy interview:

They're in a REALLY weird situation keeping this angle going. 

- Sasha/Bayley/Naomi:

Pretty good interview segment.

Yeah some of the logic from the heels is dizzying.

Um... OK. Seems a little out of nowhere from Naomi.

Interesting way to continue things.

- Sasha vs. Naomi:

Impressive work early.

Wowwwwww that didn't work out so well for Naomi, huh? The match was good for the time it had, though.

- Bayley vs. Naomi:

I hope she ties Sasha's time so they have a double title defense or something else convoluted. Might as well go all out in that direction at this stage.

Oh... well. That complicates things.

- Post-match:

Fine overall. I would think Naomi would qualify for a title match based on beating Bayley, so we'll see if that holds true.

- Jeff promo:

They're stacking the odds against him, I see!

- Sonya/Mandy/Dana:

Well that confirms Deville is still the heel! 

WOWWWWWWW is Sonya leaving?????

- Nikki promo:

I'm intrigued with this direction.

- Bryan promo:

Pretty good!

- AJ vs. Jeff:

I really like AJ's focus here.

They're definitely telling a story in this one.

HAHAHAHAH AJ just lost to an injured opponent. It really feels like they change directions on the fly. 

- Post-match:

Pretty cool.

- AJ/Park:
Fine by me. Obviously AJ vs. Abyss is an intriguing idea if they want to do that.

- Fun House:

The craziness of the Fun House continues. 

More wild antics.

Well, Bray wanted to bring out Braun's vicious side!

The spectacles continue.

More wrestling coming up.
