Solid episode and the promise of Joe vs. Bryan next week makes me salivate. After last night's crapfest, it's nice that at least one of the shows has been on a roll lately.

Another pretty damn good show. Giving it a 7. Joe is probably the best thing going in WWE at the moment, heel Nak was awesome as usual and Bryan is still out there looking like he hasn't missed a beat. Oh and it APPEARS that Rusev Day are faces now, but we'll see next week if it was just a one night thing.

Solid eight, my dudes.
I'm done with pancake jokes, so -1. No one can ever convince me Naomi is good, -1.

Joe is probably the best thing going in WWE at the moment Naw, that's Seth. He's on some next level shit right now. But Joe is REAL close right now. Those two are running circles around the field so to speak....and there's some dudes in that field who are KILLING IT right now (Nakamura...Miz...Bryan....come to mind), but Seth and Joe are just in this next gear that I haven't seen in a long time.

Yup, solid eight. Points off for Naomi going over Sonya (holy crap the Women's MITB is way too face-heavy) and because I'm done with pancake jokes.
Bryan/Joe next week, provided commentary isn't stupid and production doesn't try to sabotage it in some way, should be off the hook.

SDL is, for now, back to being something worth watching every week. Bryan/Jeff was good, the New Day segment with Miz was good, and Nakamura showing AJ what the stip was instead of outright telling him (initially) was also good. I skipped a lot of the women's stuff and other things, but the things I cared about all hit the right notes.

8.
You look at the scores since the episode where Bryan was cleared, there is a noticeable turnaround in critical reception since that point.

8. You look at the scores since the episode where Bryan was cleared, there is a noticeable turnaround in critical reception since that point. More notable, since Bryan wrestled his first match back at Mania and The Draft got rid of... almost everything hated about Smackdown, the ratings have really benefitted On RAW however... it has not.

Still boycotting SD until both Orton and Bryan are gone.

I'm tempted not to compliment Smackdown because then the next week, they'll turn a bad episode and I'll feel really bad. But the only things I really disliked were the use of Almas and possibly Naomi/Deville. Really good show with a crazy main event scene, plus that whole Lana thing was really heartwarming. 7.

Going with an 8. If wwe could stay around this level, hell even a few numbers under, I'd pay a lot more attention.

Yeah, it feels like the ShakeUp(TM) also saw an exchange of writers, as Raw has lost its pacing and SDL has cut out a lot of the filler that was holding it back. Episodes like tonight's are a good example of this. Not everybody was used, but they didn't have to--it works better than just doing pointless Corbin/Jose or Elias/Roode matches, and it felt like just about everything had a purpose or a point.
I went 8--7 for the show, bonus point for not having that goddamn Sami/Lashley segment.

I'll give it an 8, didn't like seeing Sonya lose and also having Billie Kay get squashed by Lana

Aside from a few questionable booking decisions (Lana/Billie giving me diva division flash backs, Miz beating Big E despite being beat down for an eternity), it was a bloody good Smackdown.
Very easy watch! Just fun all around! 9/10

6 Kinda an average show I watched the 1st half last night and the rest today.
It’s amazing that Daniel Bryan coming back is like signing a huge free agent and it opens up the possibilities to a ton of Dream matches or just fresh matchups seeing the amount of roster turnover that’s taken place in the 3 years he’s been out.Bryan vs Jeff was okay but it was cool to see.Joe vs Bryan will be good but Cass will interfere in an effort to make people care about him.....they won’t.
The crowd was pretty great and the fact that they chanted for Miz,Miz Tv and Miz & Mrs illustrates that point I don’t ever recall a crowd chanting Total Divas or Total Bellas.
I felt the women’s matches on this show were a waste to do 2 matches and have them only go 5 minutes combined kinda shows how weak the SDL women’s roster is.When one of those matches goes 1 minute and 55 seconds of that is the girls outside the ring arguing with a dude holding sign that said it was the best case scenario because when announced Lana vs Billie sounded like the kinda stuff they punish prisoners with.
I did find it funny the last 2 weeks they’ve tried so hard to get Mandy over as a sexpot and while the screen effects and music are cool she just couldn’t pull it off then on this show she’s in her street clothes and if those are her street clothes I’d like to visit that street anyways she comes out as Sonya’s valet and looks the hottest she’s looked on wwe tv and that’s because they weren’t asking her to act sexy and she wasn’t having a bad 90 second wrestling match.
I’m so done with this AJ/Nakamura feud it might be because I’m a dude and I have my owns balls(2 of them if people are wondering at home) and if I want to play with my balls or hit myself in the balls I can do it at anytime so the novelty of a feud based on men’s balls doesn’t appeal to me but maybe this storyline just isn’t for me and it’s for the children or the ladies.
I love AJ but outside the Brock match it’s been a pretty weak last year for him.
Big E fit right in as a singles guy I’d like to see them do more with him cause New Day is pretty played out and they’ve done pretty much all they can do.
