Thought Becky with Edge was great. Enjoyed the Evolution stuff quite a bit. Batista going savage on Triple H was a great setup. Rey's splash was cool and I overall thought his "return" was good and it was a spectacle to get him in there with Nakamura. Fun that Hawkins got 5 seconds of fame on the show. I still wish they would do more with him. Why would Rusev not be in the World Cup?? I don't think I've ever cared this little about tag titles. Smackdown's tag division is the absolute worst imo. It was an ok show. I think it fell flat of something that felt special and mostly just felt like a moderately fun nostalgia show. The video package was great. WWE TV is so bad right now that I guess that was a win. Have you ever watched RAW and their non-existent tag division? At least SDL has real teams. The Raw Tag Team champions are in the main event every week. So regardless of if they're defended or not, they're still presented as props that matter. Not to mention, Drew/Dolph vs Rollins/Ambrose was just the best match on HIAC last month. New Day and the Bar are two tired acts that were done to death on Raw and now they're running them both into the ground over on Smackdown. The Usos are just as tired of an act, if not more. Are Gallows and Anderson still signed to WWE? The sheep brothers can't stay healthy. Sanity is the one fresh act on the roster and they can't even get on TV. I'd love to know why I should care about any of those guys outside of "good, solid, match number 1,004."

I love it when Cesaro is a Champion in WWE but I also wanna see Sanity or Gallows/Anderson win the SDL Tag Titles. I even wanna see Harper/Rowan win em back too.
Overall I enjoyed the New Day vs Bar & I am glad that the Bar won.

What was not to love about SDL last night? Two incredible tag team matches rekindling memories of the Holla holla era. A random Big Show heel turn rekindling memories of People Power A Cutting Edge segment with a badass rekindling memories of the EXCUSE ME! Era. And, then two World Cup matches with wrestlers from the RA era beating wrestlers from the New Era. It had everything. Even a promotion for Evolution by Evolution since Evolution is also the name for Evolution so it got the crowd thinking. It's provocative. You are one funny guy. Rusev and Shinsuke not advancing in a World Cup themed tournament is just plain stupid. At least Rey in Mexican, but all the other guys are american... Mysterio was always billed from San Diego before. Did that change last night? Or does that even matter because he is just close enough to check the minority box?

New day should've died 2 years ago and the bar is just awful, mostly sheamus. Seth rollins could team with saxton and be better than those 2 teams.

Apart from Edge looking like Edge again, dull show.

Apparently SD 1000 beat RAW in the ratings. 2.5 million vs 2.3 million... not bad.

I’m glad edge has long hair again. Shawn should take note Lol Shawn was bald before he cut his hair.

I guess the Evolution segment went long. With Batista & Flair going off script. Reports are that forced time to cut from Taker's segment, Rey's entrance, and James Ellsworth being cut completely.
