The awkward dead air whenever Jeff takes a pause in a promo and the delayed clapping reaction by the crowd is a bit hilarious.
|
Otis vs. King Corbin was decent.
Feels like WWE's current streak with at least one match per week ending in either a DQ or no contest hasn't been this long since maybe the Attitude Era. |
Guess Miz & Morrison's new gimmick is them being just pranksters to Strowman.
:eek: Mojo getting some quality tv time despite his golden goose no longer being around. |
Can't tell if some of the people in the crowd managed to smuggle in some chairs or WWE somehow managed to pluck a lot of small people from NXT and PC to be in the crowd.
WTF just went on with this women's match. Either the ref is legit injured or another match's flow got dragged down by some really shitty booking decisions. |
yeah i never saw a ref do that
|
:lol: another distraction spot for this Lacey vs. Sonya match, assuming the one with the ref wasn't a legit injury.

:lol: Gulak beating Styles via roll up.
Tonight's show has been weird when it comes to match finishes. |
6-man tag match was pretty good overall. That match and Bryan's promo earlier were the only really good stuff from tonight's show so far.
|
Whelp that Women's title match ended in a very meh and messy way for a title change.
Whoever booked the matches for tonight's show did an abysmal job. 1 DQ finish, 1 distraction finish, 2 roll-ups finishes, and just 1 match that ended clean with no shenanigans. This week's episode was one of the most throw-away episodes in a while. |
Ehh, still happy for Sasha and Bayley being 2x Women's Tag Team Champions, even if they'll probably lose them in like a month to a month and a half to set-up the obvious and boring feud that I'm guessing will see Sasha take the title at SummerSlam.
Also, judging by the way the original ref for Evans v. DeVille was acting after he got bumped, I'm guessing the injury was unfortunately real but I hope to be proven wrong. |

:lol: at someone in the crowd shouting out "That's a lot of pee"
:| the Jeff Hardy throwing a jar at piss at Sheamus rumor ended up being true. That whole contract signing segment was actually pretty decent up until that spot. The doctor constantly touching the pee for some unknown reason might have actually been dumber than the piss throw spot. |

Hype video for the IC belt was great.
Surprised the Finals of the IC tournament is happening now and not as tonight's main event. |
Guess WWE really made sure the wrestlers acting as the crowd were well rehearsed on reactions since this is the most liveliest they've been since WWE brought them in for shows.
WWE supposedly did the same when they taped the Edge vs. Orton match for Backlash to make sure the crowd was active and reacted perfectly throughout the match. |
The two best American wrestlers of this generation wrestling for what used to be the best belt on a crowd free show with multiple commercial breaks.
This sucks man. |
To be fair, that was an awesome match. On a PPV with no interruptions it might have been just a little bit better
At least they gave it like 40 min. |
Definitely an excellent match. Just thinking of in normal times could’ve been an all time classic.
Just bummed about the corona hoax mostly. |
Bryan vs. Styles was great and arguably the best tv match from WWE since they started these empty arena shows.
Only real negative was the ending feeling a bit awkward as if Bryan was supposed to sell the Phenomenon Forearm better. Thought at first he was going to counter it or Styles pin attempt with a roll up to win. Also :lol: at WWE really did bend their Brand-to-Brand Invitation rules because they wanted Styles to win the IC tournament this whole time. |
When did Braun get a smoke machine for his entrance?
Also not sure blasting a bunch of smoke right near the crowd is a wise idea. |
Not interested at all in a Corbin vs. Otis feud since WWE is probably going to have Corbin walk away with the MITB case in the end.
|
6-man tag match was decent overall. Match did feel like it was just there for the sake of it especially post-Corbin involvement. Probably was another one of WWE's new dumb ideas to go to commercial break.
This week's episode was pretty good overall. Weak as a go-home show but was entertaining in general. |
I too was surprised that it wasn't on the PPV, but probably with the whole Edge/Orton promotional thing, it would have taken some shine off of that match. Also, didn't Vince want to trim down the length of PPVs until crowds are back? My guess, those are the two reasons why it wasn't saved for Sunday.
|
So, Zayn is the one who framed Jeff, right?
|
Prediction: Jeff hits the Twist of Fate and goes over to the corner to head up for the Swanton but before he climbs up the hacker appears on the tron, he presses play and it shows footage of either;
A) Sami Zayn being the guy behind the wheel of the car B) We don’t see who was behind the wheel of the car but we do see footage that exonerates Sheamus. Jeff turns around and eats a Brogue Kick for the 1-2-3. |
What is really so bad about the piss spot? It's a babyface embarrassing the heel. AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan sounds awesome. Thought Bryan would win. I think Styles is the only heel champion in WWE right now, but I guess he's not really a heel anymore. Kind of want Styles to be the first true Grand Slam Champion in modern WWE (Universal, WWE, IC, US and both Tag Titles). Styles vs. Riddle at Mania for the Uni Title would be a good way to make Riddle.

I might have to go and watch that match. :y:
Yeah, the best US wrestling is still WWE, which is insane to say. We're starved for promos, but should someone convince Vince McMahon to start handing out promo licenses to guys who can talk to reduce the workload of the writers or whatever, there wouldn't actually be a thing they do better. |

Renee Young so hot
|
The way WWE adds in post-production commentary from Cole makes it sound like its straight from one of their video games with how awkward it comes off most of the time.
|
On one hand, Riddle vs. Styles was very good.
On the other hand, :lol: at Styles losing his first match after winning the IC belt. Also guess SD's newest creative plan is to just eat up a ton of time with Styles each week since that was almost 40 minutes between his opening segment and non-title match. |
well thats a win wwe would like to take back
|
That Miz TV segment with Mandy and Sonya might have been the best one since Miz started doing them with Morrison.
|
take the mics away from baily and sasha
|
I haven't watched the show this week, but I saw clips of Sasha and Bayley on SmackDown a few weeks ago with Alexa and Nikki, and it was HORRID.
Sasha is looking great, but her acting is not. |
Show pretty much went downhill after Styles vs. Riddle.
