[Bang Bang Bart]

7/10. Styles vs. Almas & the U.S. Title match were both solid.

[Sparkybob]

Needed more R Truth

[The Unconquered Sun]

what i saw (2nd hour) was good, not great. 7.
but i do need a GIF of Peyton doing that dance in my life

[Abdullah]

IDK/10.

Half the Smackdown roster shows up to work just to sit around so how is it a good idea to let Aiden go solo?

Almas probably could have avoided a clean loss and Joe should have done more damage.

Bryan's brief interview was way better than that overly elaborate opening segment. Bryan and Miz's feud doesn't need exactly but it needs clarity.

Asuka's segment was a super skip. Obvious filler.

About the only thing that really worked was Orton and Becky's promos and yet it wasn't a bad episode. Just weird choices.

6/10

[Deleted]

First hour was kinda meh, but the second with Rusev/Nak, Almas/AJ and Becky bodying Charlotte again really elevated it to a 7 for me.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Did not watch. See you next week!

Bryan continues to be an unlikable lunatic who wants to fight women & infants.

Glad they finally got Aiden out of Rusev Day.Rusev and Lana are money and being with Aiden their only gonna be pushed so far cause in managements eyes he’s a geek and once this program is over he’s gonna be struggling for tv time while Rusev should be near the top of the card.

It seems the brief IICONICS push due to Meltzer is over but matches like that get no one over.Also Naomi is a jerk because a few months ago her and Lana agreed to be partners then Naomi disappeared and now she’s teaming with Asuka.BOO Naomi you don’t cheat on your partner on national tv while your former partner is on the same show you find someone from another show on a different network preferably a show no one watches.

I still don’t care about Orton no matter how much ear tearing he does.I also don’t care about Jeff no matter how much his ears get teared.Don’t care about Nakamura,New Day or The Bar which is sad because I’ve been fans of all those guys in the past but I’m just not interested with what they have done for awhile.

AJ/Almas was fun but Almas sure does lose a lot.

Becky default leather pants right now is money she’s really in a groove and you can tell she’s super confident.I never understood when a woman knows she’s gonna be fighting wears something she knows she could pop out of(I’m not complaining) but they make shirts that cover boobs and skirts or pants that cover butts.Its always amusing to me when a girl is more concerned with pulling her skirt down or covering up the twins than the fact that their receiving a savage beating.

[theironyuppie]

I know it had some weaker moments, but I thought the AJ/Almas match (that transition into the Styles Clash was beautiful) and Becky/Charlotte promo were so good that it elevated the show to an 8. Orton's brief sadistic backstage segment was also intriguing.

Well, Lana DID go to the Beyonce concert without her.

[Facetious]

Easy 7. Hopefully they keep building Almas up, dude's money.

-The promos were decent, but the opening segment got really awkward after the Maryse bump. Seems like the writers are just coasting when it comes to coming up with material for this feud, at least until they can up the stakes by adding the title. I did like that the announcers mentioned at the end how Bryan has struggled to earn an opportunity at the WWE title since returning, that's something that needs to become a bigger theme in the story so that it's a bigger moment when he finally earns it.

-I still like New Day and The Bar in the ring, but both teams feel stale. Would love to see any of these guys branch off and challenge in the U.S. title picture, especially Kofi and Cesaro.

-I missed the Orton segment somewhere in here while surfing the web, apparently he groped a member of the production crew? Odd bird, that Randall.

-AJ/Almas was good. I like that they're taking their time with Almas and not Reigns'ing him to the top, but I also don't love that he's taking so many losses this early. At least his L's have been to the top guys on the brand, though, and he's a young enough guy and so talented that he can recover. He's another one that needs to be in the U.S. title mix. Post-match was what I expected with Joe running in, him and AJ trading shots, and building to Australia.

-Rusev/Nakamura was solid. Rusev Day break-up.... well, at least they kept Rusev face and the segment was performed well. Nakamura really needs to get something going, after Super Show-Down I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him and Bryan keep each other busy until January.

-Billie Kay with Peyton Royce against Asuka with Naomi. The IIconics have the most heat-generating voices since Vickie Guerrero. Truly impressive. Asuka is still good and still over.

-Becky coronation segment. Becky's heel promo delivery is hilarious and she's not a bad heel. Still, they're not going to get people to boo this woman. Charlotte got what she deserved, and Becky did nothing wrong once again.

6/10. Above average, but nothing blow-away.

[Rave]

I didn't fall asleep during or skip out on Smackdown this week, and it was pretty good. It gets a 7.

Points are down for breaking up Rusev Day. Beyond me why they would break them up when those stale as hell pancake bastards are running around as champs yet again.

That was after Naomi went into witness protection so I’d say it was justified.
