Rate Smackdown Live and let us know what you thought of the show by leaving a comment or two.

Opening

Shinsuke Nakamura came out and referenced the Rumble and that he will defeat AJ Styles the way he defeated Sami Zayn, John Cena and Roman Reigns, with a knee to the face. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn came out and told Shinsuke they would be facing them at Wrestlemania and not AJ, since they were screwed out of the belt at the Royal Rumble. AJ Styles came out to contradict this, and challenged them to a tag match with Nakamura. KO and Zayn refused and when they were on the ring apron, were knocked off by AJ and Nakamura.

Back from the commercial KO and Zayn went to talk to Daniel Bryan. They first didn't want the tag match by Bryan made it anyway. They begged for another opportunity for the WWE title match. He put them in a match against each other next week, with the winner facing AJ for the belt.


US Championship Contendership Fatal Fourway: Rusev vs Kofi Kingston vs Zack Ryder and Jinder Mahal

Rusev won by submission and became the number one contender to Bobby Roode's US Champioship.

Usos Promo

The Usos went on and on about how great they were. When they began to leave, the Bludgeon Brothers came out.

Bludgeon Brothers vs Jobbers


Bludgeon Brothers won by pin fall.

Charlotte Flair

Charlotte came out for an interview. She was interrupted by the Riot Squad. At first, Charlotte fought them off but they eventually regrouped and came back to take her down. Carmella came in to cash in the MITB contract, but the referee got knocked out before the bell could be rang. Charlotte recovered and Carmella took her contract and fled.

Baron Corbin vs Tye Dillinger

Corbin won by pin fall.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable vs Breezango

Benjamin and Gable won by pin fall

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn vs Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles

Zayn and Owens argued during the match and Zayn left. Nakamura pinned KO to give his team the win. Renee interviewed Zayn and he assured her that their friendship wasn't over. It was about opportunity and KO always had the opportunities and he hadn't

Okay... lets see what happening on "The Becky & Charlotte" Show this week...
And I'd like to wish a Happy Birthday to the Irish Lass Kicker...love your work
Becky...keep smiling & kicking lass.

And on to the show...

~ You know what I like? Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan being completely out of
sight while Owens & Zayn actually feud with wrestlers. I like this booking.

~ See...this is all we need...Daniel Bryan in his office making matches...and
I'm guessing already that Owens & Zayn will simply go for a double count out
next week.

~ Yes WWE Push Rusev! He is SO over right now! I'm sorry Bobby Roode...but I
want this to be Rusev Year.

~ YES! YES! YES! The Usos vs. Harper & Rowan! Just what I wanted! I'm still not
calling them the Bludgeon Brothers...but I will when they win the titles.

Also on a sidenote...time to team Noami up with the Usos & Sarah Logan with Harper
& Rowan. Why? because I said so!

~ So...I have no idea what this Top 10 "thing" is...but I like lists...so I'll give it chance.

Moron Corbin is still a moron...Tye Dillinger is cool.

~ All Hail the Queen!!!

*Bows*

Yes...who is Charlotte going to be facing at Wrestlemania?

Asuka? Ronda Rousey? Becky Lynch? Ruby Riott?

*Watches*

And stalling tactic because I'm sure the WWE has no fucking clue at the moment.

So I take it Becky & Naomi aren't watching Charlotte's back tonight? Okay...

Oh wait...Becky is in the Mixed Match Challenge tonight...so I guess she is
busy...but wait a minute...Sami is on SmackDown? Ehh...whatever...its not like
Becky & Sami are going to win. They are just going to be fed to Alexa & Braun
because "someone" likes big sweaty men & American women who look like Trish.

I can't say I enjoy watching my favorite wrestler getting the piss kicked out of her...
but like I said...this is clearly a stalling tactic while the WWE make up their mind.

Wait a second...

OH SHIT!!! CARMELLA!!! NO!!! NOT LIKE THIS!!! NO!!! SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!!!

*Watches*

Man...has anyone noticed how loud Carmella is? She could shatter a mirror with
those screams of hers.

*Thinks about making a dirty remark but doesn't*

Wow...that was a mess...Carmella should have simply rolled Charlotte away from
the ropes and slapped on the Code of Silence while the ref actually started the
match...but clearly this was just a teasing/stalling tactic.

At least Carmella still has her briefcase...which means she isn't a moron.

*Looks at Moron Corbin & shakes his head*

Hey WWE just so you know...Carmella has won only 4 televised singles matches in
the last 13 months. Just saying...I think she needs to win a few matches before you
put the belt on her.

~ I am still smiling at the fact the WWE decided to book Styles vs. Nakamura for
Wrestlemania. I am predicting a 7 Star rating.

~ A broken nail? Ugh...

Carmella...I want to like you...but the WWE is making it really hard for me to
take you seriously...that and you're basically a jobber with a fancy briefcase.

Seriously though...save the briefcase for Wrestlemania or the SmackDown after.

Oh...and that new outfit is terrible...go back to those amazing one piece numbers
you were wearing.

~ You know...as much as I like Corbin (well...I want to...but he keeps acting
like a moron) &Dillinger...I can't help but feel we have seen this match so many
times since Dillinger was drafted to the main roster.

Team Dillinger up with Ryder to give the tag division some depth...just do
something different with the guy.

And Corbin wins...but he rarely wins when it really matters. I am the only one
who hasn't forgotten his pathetic MitB cash in failure & his Summerslam burial last
year?

~ RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY!

~ I really hope they aren't going to break up the Owens/Zayn alliance so soon...
there is so much potential there...especially now Shane McMahon isn't hanging
around like a bad smell.

~ I'm going to say Daniel Bryan is going to be the GM of 205 Live.

~ And Gable & Benjamin get a win...but it doesn't really mean anything really.

~ You see...these are the kind of matches that should be the main event of the
weekly shows...and I'm so glad Shane & Daniel are nowhere to be seen.

And its important to keep Styles & Nakamura looking as strong as possible in the
build to Wrestlemania...

But on the other hand...breaking Owens & Zayn up this soon seems wrong...and
I honestly don't think we need to see Owens vs. Zayn for the 20th time...as good
as their matches are.

And I'm done!

Oh...& Ronda...you're already making Brock look like a full time performer...

Just saying...

Edit: And Alexa & Braun defeated Becky & Sami with Alexa pinning Becky...
Jesus H. Christ...enough with this Alexa Bliss push already...she's basically
becoming the "Plank of Wood" of the Women's division at this point.

I'm from winnipeg you idiot
Pros :

+ Opening segment.

+ The promo work by the Usos was good as always. I loved the little interaction between them and the Bludgeon Brothers, setting up a feud that will come sooner rather then later. Hopefully they don't rush it, and we get a Wrestemeania match on the main card between these two teams. That is something I really want to see.

+ Ruby Riot is probably the best talker out of all the women on the main roster. I am starting to become a fan.

+ The little segment with Nakamura and AJ backstage was neat.

+ The Fatal 4 way match was good. Rusev winning is great, and should lead to a very interesting match against Bobby Roode next week.

+ Main event was good. I am ok with them splitting Sami and Owens. They had a good run, which really helped establish Sami as a top guy on SD, but its time for both men to move on. I do hope Sami wins next week, and that we get him vs Styles rather then Owens, since that match has been done to death in 2017.

Cons :

- When Nakamura was making his entrance, the word ARTIST just randomly popped up on the screen, and I didn't like it one bit. Also the lockdown effect on the Usos promo was kinda cringy. I don't know with what they were going for with these effects, but it didn't work for me.

- Corbin vs Dillinger again.

- Too many tag team matches.



Overall : 7/10 - Smackdown continues to deliver simple shows with good story telling.
