A 1. And that’s only because Nakamura vs. Sami was decent. And Naomi almost made Ronda seem likeable, which is impressive in a way.

And the show was very much presented like it was taped. Three matches in the span of two hours. Just a shit ton of boring to atrocious segments, and vignettes to suck time up.

[asuka007]

Kind of says a lot when Undertaker’s career highlight reel was the most entertaining thing on the show.

The Undertaker HOF video and the Goldberg/Roman hype video were both A+ material.

Not that the show needed me because it'll still get 2 million viewers, but didn't watch. 😎

[chronocross]

Read the spoilers last week and didn't watch.

[msc]

I'll be honest, probably 8/10?

First up, I watched Dynamite first so that allows me to fast forward over vignettes and recaps. Which meant Smackdown was only about 30 mins long. Watched the Taker HOF video though. That was cool.

The contract signing for a basic tag match was notable by how happy Ronda Rousey seemed to be there, and like she actually liked Naomi. Which was night and day from her appearances last week.

The Viking/Uso (I forget which of which) singles match was just basic feud grower stuff.

The IC title match was great. Sami Zayn straight up won, not because he cheated, but because he took advantage of a flaw in Nakamura's game and exploited an injury from it until Nakamura was too powerless to stop him. The most legit Zayn has looked in the ring in ages. Nakamura made him look like a beast too. Also, Sami has long been one of the few bright sparks in the WWE and deserves the title. And the fact that his entire character has been about getting the IC title which is so precious to him back, to the point where he stabbed his own friend in the back and even tried to get one over on Brock Lesnar, makes the IC title look important.

Which is good.

It was a small show that wanted to do one or two things and did them well.

[Deleted]

The contract signing is the only thing I looked up on YouTube and, my goodness, that sucked. I really like Sonya as a talent, but her character is starting to get the wrong kind of heat with me.

[Mozenrath]

A 3, completely phoned-in.

1. Naomi beats heel GM at WrestleMania
2. There is no step 2.
3. Start this feud in August.

It's a testament to the two talents tbh that the crowd are still as into Sonya/Naomi as they are given the feud progression has been glacially and Sonya has basically been shitting on Naomi for the LOLs for all the motivation she's been given. Another example in the company of the wrestlers deserving far better material than they are given.
