SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 913
Bray Wyatt is forced to give both AJ Styles and John Cena a title match in an episode of SmackDown that was entertaining more for the few good matches than the rather forgettable talking segments.
Bray Wyatt is forced to give both AJ Styles and John Cena a title match in an episode of SmackDown that was entertaining more for the few good matches than the rather forgettable talking segments.
A pretty good show that god better towards the end. A few matches felt like they were looking past this show and towards Wrestlemania, but the last few matches of the night made up for that.
The first ever WWE UK Champ is crowned in a very satisfying and entertaining night two of the WWE UK Title Tournament.
The first night of the tournament to crown the first WWE UK Champ was a little uneven, but the night ended with a couple of highly entertaining matches and the promise of a spectacular round two.
The entire second round of the Dusty Classic is decided in some good matches, though two of those matches are marred by injuries.
This show had some surprises, and the main event tag match helped make this a show worth watching even though most of the actual wrestling isn’t anything special.
Roderick Strong makes his NXT debut teaming up with Austin Aries in a good episode of NXT.
With a handful of debuts, two more matches in the Dusty Classic, and a minor payoff to Samoa Joe’s attacks over the last few weeks, this was an entertaining episode of NXT.
The 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic starts with one squash and one good match, Samoa Joe ruins Dan Matha’s debut, Patrick Clark debut’s a new look when he faces Rich Swann, and Peyton Royce beats up a new girl with her friend Billie Kay by her side.
This show felt like a promo for another show. There were lots of matches, but all but one were squashes.
Storylines seemed to take a backseat this week, but that allowed Cedric Alexander’s NXT debut to take center stage.
The tournament ends and a new WWE Cruiserweight champion is crowned in a fantastic conclusion to the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic.
This was an uneven episode of NXT with some segments that were important (and entertaining) and some that were not.
This was a good episode of NXT with two very nice matches and two that were basically exhibitions.
Another great show. It seems each round keeps getting better.
The wrestling was a little lacking on this episode. A good number of matches, but the quality just wasn’t there. This episode felt like a placeholder while they start to rebuild feuds after Takeover.
This was essentially a recap of Takeover with a couple of filler matches. That’s not to say the matches weren’t good, they were fine, but they didn’t really mean much.
NXT gives Summer Slam a run for its money with another great Takeover with some fantastic title matches.
Since this is the last episode of NXT before Takeover: Brooklyn, this show was basically a really long promo for the event (even though there were a couple of matches).
The matches were short, but things are shaping up nicely for Takeover.
