A pretty good Smackdown, as I liked everything but 2 things on the show. I felt more like a go-home show than Raw did. The KO Show with Daniel Bryan & Kevin Owens was fun, & even if the run-ins were annoying, the 8-Man Tag Team Match was awesome. I liked the segment with Daniel Bryan & Sami Zayn backstage. Since I don’t like the entire angle between Otis & The Miz, I thought the court stuff was stupid even with Ron Simmons & JBL. Bianca Belair VS Zelina Vega was good showing for Belair’s “Smackdown debut”, though she wrestled on Smackdown earlier this year. If you know me, then I don’t have to waste this space talking about that piece of crap, but there was something good out of it with Shorty G becoming Chad Gable again. Seth Rollins’ promo was good to set-up the main event. The Sasha Banks & Bayley segment was good. And even though I don’t like the Law & Otis, I loved the cameos especially Teddy Long. The only good thing about Law & Otis was it finally gave us a 5th match for Hell In A Cell. Murphy VS Seth Rollins was excellent. The closing segment with Roman Reigns & Jey Uso was awesome & got me more excited for Sunday. 205 Live was great as usual, with 2 great matches in Mansoor VS Brian Kendrick and Curt Stallion VS Tony Nese. I had Talking Smack in the background, which was OK.
