No Mercy Kickoff Recap & Review
A big eight-man tag match featuring American Alpha, Hype Bros, The Vaudevillains, and The Ascension served as a good warmup for the second SmackDown Live PPV.
A big eight-man tag match featuring American Alpha, Hype Bros, The Vaudevillains, and The Ascension served as a good warmup for the second SmackDown Live PPV.
On the last stop before No Mercy, this SmackDown was packed with stuff, though it felt a lot like a glorified promo for the PPV. Which I suppose it kind of is.
A decent episode of SmackDown that fared better in the first half of the show than the second half.
The Usos make a statement in an okay episode of SmackDown.
Two new titles are revealed, a tag title tournament starts, Carmella makes people notice her, and a new number one contender for the World Title is named is a good episode of SmackDown.
This year’s Summer Slam was entertaining, though for the matches that delivered on the hype, there were others that didn’t quite live up to expectations.
A pretty good show that does well to build (or at least maintain) some interest in Summer Slam, specifically the big matches.
The last Main Event before the new rosters take effect was entertaining, if somewhat standard.
With excitement building for the draft at tomorrow’s first SmackDown Live, this RAW had an important feeling to it. It was a decent show highlighted by a very good WWE Title match.
This was a pretty good show, but it didn’t feel like much really happened.
Not a bad show. It was entertaining even though the wrestling didn’t always seem to be the first thing on the writers’ minds.
A couple of good title matches help to make this otherwise fairly unimportant show a pretty good watch.
Charlotte making her dad cry, Rollins getting what he wants, and a series of Money in the Bank qualifying matches ending with a great Styles versus Owens bout make for a good RAW.
An uneven show with some average matches, two pretty bad matches, and two really great matches. If nothing else, this show is worthwhile for the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight title matches.
A good Smackdown that maintained interest in Sunday’s Fastlane with good, but unsurprising, matches.
A good show with some really fun and good matches.
This was a pretty good show with some nice surprises, but the ending confused me.
With some very enjoyable moments and some surprisingly good matches here along with the usual stuff that Smackdown produces, this week’s show is a good watch.
As usual, Main Event this week had two good matches and on okay one, but the main event match this week stood out as an important character-building match. Definitely worth a watch.
This week’s RAW was a decent show that had some interesting developments and a few really good matches.
