God I hate SD's tag division.

Why don't they keep the New Day together but let Big E have a,solo run I'll never know

[fw91]

...Am I the only one who thinks they did a title change to pay homage to The Fink?

Remember when I complained about New Day a lot?

Now it seems everyone does that.

An OK Smackdown. I liked the opening Moment of Bliss with Braun Strowman & throwback to Strowman’s days as a member of The Wyatt Family. Tamina VS Sasha Banks was horrible & no one wants to see Tamina as Bayley’s next challenger. Denzel Dejournette VS Sheamus was a waste of time, but it’s leading to a feud with Jeff Hardy, so that should be good. The Hardy video was very revealing. The Dana Brooke & Carmella promo was horrible. Naomi VS Dana Brooke was OK. Sonya Deville’s promo started off bad, but once Mandy Rose came out, it became Deville’s best promo in her career. I now like this feud between Otis & Rose & Deville & Ziggler. I loved the WWE tribute to Howard Finkel. I’m man enough that I cried watching it. Wow, more of these strange videos. I thought it was Mustafa Ali, but why did it focus on Tag Teams, like The New Day, The Usos, Bliss & Cross, & Banks & Bayley, & why did they do to during Bryan VS Cesaro. Daniel Bryan VS Cesaro was an awesome match. The attack on Elias by King Corbin was OK. Big E VS The Miz VS Jey Uso was great, but I didn’t like the finish. I can’t believe they will actually be doing Money In The Bank from WWE Headquarters. That will be so unique and different. I can’t wait for it. It will be the 1999 Super Bowl Commercial coming to life. I didn’t watch 205 Live since it didn’t have any original matches.

Here are the Facts & Stats for Smackdown:

Many props to Dana Brooke on her win against the overrated glow stick Naomi. The more she stays away from any title picture the better. Now onto Tamina Mania!
