I gotta give it a 7/10, while I hated the fact Asuka lost and is now lost in the mix. The Gauntlet Match and what the Usos did really carry the show for me and I enjoyed it especially the Usos forfeiting out of respect.

 

[Jay-Ashley]

I hated that part too, this is getting ridiculous. Furthermore, I don't see any smart person could be excited for that triple threat especially given the fact that it had so many damn random changes it's beyond unimaginable.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WWE?!??!?? DO YOU EVEN KNOW? DO YOU EVEN FUCKIN' KNOW?!??

They building a match that will attract casual fans and outsiders with the idea of the triple threat, and such.

They know what they are doing, I just think it is dumb.

 

[Jay-Ashley]

My point exactly being dumb for the sake of being greedy instead of smart and wealthy.

Either way, WWE is making money, so they don't care.

 

[Jay-Ashley]

And that my friend is the saddest part of it all...

You know Wu-Tang said...Cash Rules Everything Around Me.

 

[Jay-Ashley]

And it's been true ever since and even before.

Yeah and it will never change.

 

[Deadmanforever97]

I have to say this... The Way the Usos forfeited deserves a Slammy for Heartfelt SmackDown Moment...

I pay respect to The Usos, New Day, and Kofi Kingston...

Like many others I am hoping the Ref raise Kofi's hand as champion at WM 35

 

[Jay-Ashley]

But honestly, @Seth like come on...they could make so much more money!!! If you're gonna be greedy, BE EXTREMELY GREEDY!!! DO SOME HARD WORK AND IT WILL PAY OFF!!!

I mean, I agree, but you have to look at from a business view and an entertainment view as well. As much as I hate to say because I dislike both people, but Ronda main eventing and even Brock probably happening before they are a smart move from both a business and an entertainment view as both people are recognizable outside and people will watch. WWE no longer cares about the "Wrestling" aspect or even their "Wrestling" fans as much as their "Entertainment" aspect and fans. I could go on, but I will be repeating myself and it will be a rant.

 

[Kasumi]

I’m west coast so about to watch it.
I just did my pre game ritual of laying the SMACKDOWN to Asuka.
All my stress melted away!

 

[Jay-Ashley]

Well no shit!!! Lmao just a sarcastic joke.

Umm yeah it make sense for the end results and that's not really my issue. I'm speaking on the fact of the production to get to these end results, like why cheapen it the whole way lmao. You get what I mean? You could really get a lot of support and more consumers/fans it you put forth the effort but instead they just slap it together sloppily just to setup the end results of things. I know they don't care, I know it's about easy money but that's unacceptable and that's running your business backwards in some degrees.

Yeah, I get it.

 

[Redboy123@]

Asuka should leave wwe. Only so much you can do when it's clear they don't want you to succeed

 

[SWL]

are they gonna make the triple threat a unification match? If that's the case, that's fucking insane dude. If not, then this was really useless. Poor Asuka man, this is the most backhanded way of getting rid of match #17 that anyone could have ever imagined.

In other news, the Kofi thing was booked really well once again, they've really been on their A-game with these gauntlet matches ngl. Let's hope they don't overdo these, now that they know it does wonders lol

The show gets a 7. Book ended by the Gauntlet and a good opening segment that made the show. Although it sucks that Kurt and AJ didn't get a match really going due to Randy, but it advances their storyline. As for Asuka vs Charlotte-

It was a good match in itself. Great call backs to their mania match even. However, Asuka losing does not sit well with me and this is sadly another example of WWE complicating the storyline further for the main event. Would Becky potentially winning both titles be great? Maybe, but it is keeping the other Smackdown women from having any time on the card. Then again, with how long this show will be, it may be a small blessing in disguise on that front.

Charlotte is a eight time women’s champion and I can’t tell you a single thing about any of the reigns.

Charlotte is a eight time women’s champion and I can’t tell you a single thing about any of the reigns.

What I know is one was the Diva's title and she was the last one of that, transitioning into the now Raw Women's title. Then she traded the title several times with Sasha. Then after she lost it she went to Smackdown and I think she is now in her third SD women's title reign. One was against Natty, one she took from Carmella, and now this.
