WWE SmackDown

* WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz and Maryse kick off SmackDown with MizTV in the ring. We see Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson attacking Roman Reigns on RAW. Guest AJ Styles comes out and says he had nothing to do with it. This leads to Styles vs. Miz being announced for tonight

* Ryback defeated WWE United States Champion Kalisto in a non-title match

* Dolph Ziggler vs. Baron Corbin never happens as Corbin beats Ziggler down outside of the ring and hits End of Days

* AJ Styles defeated The Miz in a good match. Miz tried to leave at one point but Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson stopped him. This led to AJ getting the win. AJ had a staredown with Gallows and Anderson after the match

* The Miz remains in the ring for a dark segment. He wants his loss investigated and he’s not happy about how he’s being treated. Shane McMahon interrupts to a huge pop. Miz demands that Shane put him at the top of his list and starts poking him around. Shane fires back, beats Miz up and sends him flying from the ring

So it looks good for tomorrow, except the whole Golden Truth thing...

Watched it all live (thanks Russia). Was a good show

 

[Rampaiger]

Was there live, kinda sucked, best part was Shane bit I read that it was only a dark segment so it won't be on the TV tapping. Only booked tickets for Taker, who they stated would be there, they progressively took him out of the live events whilst simultaneously saying he would be at Smackdown. Then after Raw they changed the show description to not have him in there, we were all royally pissed off. Show seemed flat tbh, maybe because my last event was TakeOver and that was breathtaking

Solid to good wrestling + angle advancement = a good show. Thank you, SD. What a good week of wrestling we've had.

I'm not sure if that's all that makes a good show, at least not for my standards. I want to see something different, a good and unique environment. Something SmackDown has been lacking for the last 2-3 years. The overproduction, repetition in matches and angles etc. etc.

This is SmackDown we're talking about. It hasn't been good in years and usually when I decide to watch the full episode, I don't expect a good show.

I just hope it doesn't end up being a total snoozefest.

So, this was a pleasant surprise. If/when the brand split happens, this show is going to be much better.

WTF?

Smackdown has been WWE's best show for 4 months now. It hasn't even been close between it, Raw and NXT

 

[seabs]

There is an odd cycle with how the fans regard Smackdown where Smackdown will suck because it's Smackdown. It's been enjoyable for a while, commentary is really good also.

 

[Solidus1]

SmackDown seems to really be improving, if only they get rid of the canned crowd reactions.

 

[seabs]

I suppose we should be grateful Vince hasn't replaced the audience with CGI. Look at them on their feet for Roman dammit.
