SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 883
The first live SmackDown was a good show. There were decent matches that did well to maintain interest in Battleground, and the draft itself was entertaining, though maybe not completely shocking.
The first live SmackDown was a good show. There were decent matches that did well to maintain interest in Battleground, and the draft itself was entertaining, though maybe not completely shocking.
This, the last taped SmackDown for a while, was entertaining enough and managed to maintain and build interest in the upcoming Battleground.
A great start to what promises to be a unique and exciting series of shows for WWE.
This episode felt like an afterthought, but the main event was good and there were some fun moments.
This was a good show. It had a great beginning, and the main event was nicely set up and well-executed.
This was a pretty good show, but it didn’t feel like much really happened.
Not a bad final show before the PPV. Three good matches and not too much filler.
Some good matches make this a SmackDown worth watching.
Good matches and good talking segments make for one of the better Smackdowns in recent memory.
A couple of good title matches help to make this otherwise fairly unimportant show a pretty good watch.
This show felt like a bridge connecting RAW to Extreme Rules, and it did that job pretty well with some entertaining segments.
Despite the announcement of the Divas Title match being triple threat, this show seemed kind of like it didn’t matter in the long run, but it was still a very entertaining show.
With good matches and some nice attention paid to developing stories, this week’s Smackdown was very entertaining.
The Fastlane Kickoff show features a two out of three falls match for the US Title that was good enough to be on Fastlane, but might have been better on the kickoff show since it got more time. Plus the usual pre-show analysis and AJ Styles answering questions in the Social Media Lounge.
By keeping the match count low, this show was able to have some very nice wrestling. Chris Jericho wrestled AJ Styles in their rematch from the RAW after the Royal Rumble, and Sasha Banks took on Naomi in a very competitive match. Plus, the Dudley Boyz and the Wyatt Family both had some very important words for the WWE Universe (though some words were more cryptic than others).
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.
A predictable show with mostly predictable matches (though Kalisto versus Neville stood out), but it’s a good watch.
This show felt a lot like the previous RAW in that not much new ground was covered, but there were still enough fun segments to make it an entertaining show.
A few nice happenings and a good rematch for the US Title make this a Smackdown worth watching.
The first Smackdown of 2016 and the first Smackdown on USA featured two title matches and had a pretty important feeling. It started off the year of Smackdown right with some good action, fun moments, and promising developments.
