[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

If I could give this show a negative rating, I really would

[asuka007]

This show was just a slog.

Between WWE burying Sasha and Naomi and the endless Bloodlinr heat (which WWE fans will defend as being good) what is the point?

It’s all so dull and tired. I wonder if USA is angry right now?

[The Rick Jericho]

Can this get enough votes for worse Smackdown of all-time on FAN?

[bob]

I'm done with Smackdown for a while

[Ben Wyatt]

Having the Bloodline teabagging everyone got old months ago. This is just painful now

It's gotta beat a 2.52, which it's well on the path to do... and that was a record set this year btw. February 4th. Smackdown's been that bad.

I checked out for a good portion of 2022 Smackdown's so I have no idea what happened on that show.

But I hope this show WRECKS it.

[Mecca]

This show had everything to make it awful, Vince pettyness, Cole and McAfee having to sell that Noami and Sasha are terrible people. Roman promo, bloodline winning and the list goes on and on.

Live Smackdown threads literally only over 20 pages... a lot of people are done. And most of the people who aren't are just riffing on it... but it's getting so ridiculously dull and "the same shit is happening every week", that even that isn't saving some people...

[Deleted]

I gave it a 6, so not bad but this show's just not for me I guess.

Butch losing.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Listen even if the Bloodline didn't Bloodline all over this show, that teardown of Sasha and Naomi on live TV was disgusting, and worth a 1 by itself.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

Didn't watch, wish I did.

[theironyuppie]

Around a 5 to 6, I'd say. Raquel/Shotzi was pretty decent though it's a shame it was the only women's match.

[Duke Cameron]

Didn’t watch.

[Raw is Doodie101]

I gave it a 7. Wasn't a bad Smackdown at all. I wouldn't say I liked the Naomi/Sasha stuff and I need the New Day/Brutes angle to end. Unification match was good and Nakamura/Zayn was good. I wasn't expecting the unification match to have a clean finish but that beatdown at the end definitely screams rematch at HITC.

Overall, was one of the better Smackdown's as of late.

I agree. I'm giving it an 8.

It was a solid show with Nakamura/Zayn, and the way they're building up Raquel and Gunther is nice. But to have a historic unification match to happen on SmackDown is shocking, but to deliver on that is a huge props to WWE. Fans would've been upset if the expected finish happened, which would've been indecisive and lead to a rematch at HIAC.

I'm good with what I watched.

[The Rick Jericho]

So is the final grade in? Worst ever?

Well that makes my 3/10 look even harsher, wow.

Show just had nothing that interested me OR that I hadnt seen before done better. I guess the 5 minutes of Nakmura/Zayn were fun, but that's 5 minutes.
