Much better this week.
AJ vs Riddle was great. Really liked the finish.
Glad Lacey is a heel again.
I’m excited to see the Horror show match. Hope it delivers.
Bayley is gold.
REALLY liked the promos to start the show. Had an old SNME vibe to it. Don’t replay them through the episode though.

Dolph Ziggler, R Truth, Husky Harris and Sheamus would qualify to be in the Decade of Domination line. 🤞 🤞

That was a vast improvement from a week ago.
Big E-Cesaro had a good match. The tables match should be very good Sunday.
The women’s tag match was also quite good. All four women were excellent as usual. Bayley is just so good right now. She has taken the ball and run with it. Can’t wait for both women’s title matches.
Looking forward to the Swamp match.
Riddle-AJ was just great. Love that AJ won with a wrestling hold. I really hope we see them again soon.

Just give me a 20+ minute AJ Styles match every week and I'm good with whatever else Smackdown does.

AJ and Riddle was great again. Hope Riddle doesn't have to be involved with Corbin for to long can't wait till we get AJ/Riddle 3.
Big E and Cesaro was Good. Bayley,Sasha and Asuka delivered again they been great the last couple months I thought as much as we seen them lately I'll be sick of them but they having the complete opposite effect. I just wanna see more of them and can't wait till Sunday for the Asuka and Banks match.
Good show has me looking forward to Sunday that's all I need in a wrestling show to be entertained and wanting to see more and SD did that for me this week

This is the era of the roll up victory, in this era the roll up seems to be more devastating that a finisher. They should do a documentary about it on the network.
Good match with Styles and Riddle, Riddle didn't get buried like some are saying and he will win the feud with Corbin.

Saw people complaining that WWE has already ruined Riddle by burying him on SD. So what I've gathered online lately is...
In WWE losing a highly competitive title match by a roll up = being buried.
In AEW having all their big guys lose their first PPV title matches = creating new stars.
Starting to think that maybe the online community isn't for me anymore.

People in the AEW threads constantly complain about guys like Brodie, Archer, and Cage coming in and losing their first high profile match. No one uses "buried" correctly. It sure as hell isn't that. We're in a microwave culture where most people are too impatient. Not everyone can hold a title, fewer should win it in their first big match.

Seeing Gable in that awful gear is so depressing. He's one of the best wrestlers on the planet, and this is what they come up with? Styles vs Gable could have been special.

Again, sorry I didn't make a thread. Sometimes Patriot does it and sometimes not. I need to take the time to double check.
I really enjoyed the bar fight. Not crazy about the face paint part, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.
Sheamus looks F*****g bad ass in his street fight gear.
I've made no secret I'm not a huge fan of cinematic matches. But I can at least appreciate ones like this Bar Fight & The Boneyard. Both were still a match/fight within the cinematic theme.
Fatal Four Way was good.
Riddle vs Neese was good for what it was. I'd like to see Neese find some direction. Maybe a tag partner.
Sounds like we're getting a solo run for Big E. GOOD!
Bray's FFFH was fun. I like that old Bray is trapped in the lantern.
Hope Naomi takes advantage of this attention. Lacey is a great heel.
Miz/Morrison were funny.
Overall I enjoyed myself.

Bliss-Cross had a really good match. It’s interesting how they are hinting at a Cross-Bliss breakup instead of Bayley-Sasha. Good potential swerve. Bayley and Sasha are gold, especially on commentary.
Riddle-Nese was good and served its purpose, a dominating win for Riddle.
Bray is so good, and I love the Fun House. Bring on Fiend-Strowman.
Miz and Morrison were entertaining, and their segment with Naomi was fine.
The fatal four way was a great match. I wanted Gable to win, but I have no problem with Metalik. Fresh matchup between AJ and Metalik next week.
The bar fight was good. It had the most “wrestling” of all the cinematic matches so far. Hardy’s transformation was a bit over the top, but it accomplished what it needed to accomplish.
Two good, entertaining hours of Smackdown tonight.
