Interesting order

 

[Chris]

I think that'll flow well but def not what I was expecting

 

[Storm Trooper]

The last match makes sense. And the opener as well. But I wonder if they should have put a buffer between the Main event and the 2nd to last match.

In case people were wondering the 2 female referees are reffing the 2 Womens Championship matches. Edge isn't there so his personal ref Jessika Carr is free to ref another match.

not if they have a long video package, it should be fine

 

[Chris]

And that's the match that should have a long video package and no one would complain lol

I have literally watched th 2 hour youtube video of the Bloodline history, so yeah a long video is allowed for that. It's emmy-worthy TV.

By the way I love that Fightful called Sami/KO "The Wild SamiOwens" as a play on Wild Samoans...

 

[Chris]

I'm glad I caught up on SmackDown before this show bc that ending segment was amazing

 

[Chris]

I've been saying SamOwens vs Samoans for months now smh they don't even credit me

oh it was awesome. It was a good Smackdown in general, especially for a taped show.

Regarding that main event segment from last night, it continues to build on my belief that Solo Sikoa is being build up better than anyone in all of wrestling. He's beyond protected, he just took out the 2 main event stars that are the Tag champs by himself. If he loses it's a DQ loss.
