•Eddie Dennis vs. Oliver Carter – PUSH This was the first match back for Eddie Dennis after eight months out with an injury and COVID. I liked giving Dennis a match like this where he […]
HITS •Oath of the Uce The opening promo was Jey Uso’s least consistent performance since the program with Roman Reigns began and included, once again, an overr-eliance on the term “Uce,” a brief moment of […]
•Hangman Page vs. Wardlow – HIT Wardlow sure feels like a future star in the making. After a quality match against Jungle Boy last week, he showed even more promise in his bout against Hangman […]
•Final impact – HOLY #@% THEY SHOT JOHN E. BRAVO Yeah so… I’m going to go against my true nature and skip straight to the ending segment for this one. After Rosemary orchestrated the events […]
Spin The Wheel – Damian Priest vs. Johnny Gargano (North American Championship) The show opened with Zombie Blackheart, followed by a live music entrance for our North American Champion, Damian Priest. That entrance had the […]
Opening Segment – MISS: Most of this show was a Miss as it followed up from Hell in a Cell which failed to get me excited for Raw going forward. I don’t understand taking the […]
HITS •FS1 Effect: It was to the great benefit of fans that enjoy quality, long matches that last night’s show was shown on FS1 as a way to not put too much on the show […]
•Final impact – PUSH: Sadly, I wasn’t too fond of the go-home show prior to Bound for Glory. There were too many instances of WWE-like screwy finishes to avoid getting a clean ending prior to […]
Kushida vs. Velveteen Dream vs. Tommaso Ciampa: No time wasted this week, Kushida was mid-entrance as the show began. As Dream made his entrance, Ciampa attacked from behind and this match was underway. Ciampa spent […]
•Wardlow vs. Jungle Boy – HIT I continue to be impressed by the constant improvement by Jungle Boy. He created most of the movement in the match and sold well for Wardlow. They worked well […]
Fiend/Retribution/Hurt Business Start the Show – MISS: This was a mess. I don’t understand the dynamic between Retribution, The Hurt Business and the Fiend, all of whom are heels. I am not a fan of […]
Roman Reigns has always been my hero. The WWE’s sizable canine used to walk down that ramp with his trademark smugness to a chorus of boos and that one loud cheer from the young whippersnapper […]
HITS •Eye on the New Roster Smackdown has been in desperate need of a strong upper midcard, and the infusion of Seth Rollins, Murphy, the Mysterios and a returning Daniel Bryan are just what the […]
•FTR vs. Best Friends – MISS Great action to kick off Dynamite. I like the idea of FTR being known as these great wrestlers who deliver in their matches, but will occasionally give a screwy […]
•Xia Brookside & Dani Luna vs. Amale & Nina Samuels — HIT: This was a women’s tag team match to kick off the show. This match had two newcomers on both sides, Dani Luna and […]
-Roderick Strong & Bobby Fish vs. Danny Birch & Oney Lorcan Kyle O’Reilly walked out with his Undisputed Era brethren, playing the leader role in Cole’s absence. His strong promo here tonight, and comfortability on […]
Opening Segment – HIT: Raw got off to a good start with the in ring confrontation between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre. The mic work from both was strong and kept short before the physicality. […]
HITS •Draft Dodgers: The good news about the 2020 draft so far is that the top tier of the Smackdown brand has not been drastically altered. There is too much positive momentum that has been […]
•Brian Cage vs. Will Hobbs – HIT Will Hobbs delivered in his first major match. Being that Hobbs and Brian Cage are two massive beings, I thought this match would be much shorter, but in […]
Kushida vs. Tommaso Ciampa As the bell rang, on commentary Wade Barrett suggested that this was a Takeover Caliber matchup. I couldn’t agree more with that statement. Ciampa is arguably the top guy in NXT. […]
-Announcement of the Capital Wrestling Center At the beginning of the preshow, Scott Stanford announced that the show would take place in the new state of the art Capital Wrestling Center. The name, nod to […]
Orton’s Opening – MISS: This didn’t do it for me. I appreciate WWE doing something different with Randy Orton doing his promo from the scene of his attack on the legends last week, instead of […]
•Kenny Williams vs. Ashton Smith vs. Amir Jordan – MISS: This was a Triple Threat match for the final spot in The Heritage Cup Tournament. What made it an automatic miss for me was the […]
HITS •The Next Chapter: The main event storyline of Smackdown is the show’s best in at least a decade, maybe ever. The Clash of Champions ending had me thinking that we’d seen a conclusive end […]
