Smackdown Recap & Review – Episode 875
A couple of good title matches help to make this otherwise fairly unimportant show a pretty good watch.
A couple of good title matches help to make this otherwise fairly unimportant show a pretty good watch.
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.
This show felt like a bridge connecting RAW to Extreme Rules, and it did that job pretty well with some entertaining segments.
With a good variety of matches and some segments that set up things to look forward to, this was a good followup to Payback and a fun RAW to watch.
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.
This was a 50/50 show. The first half was really good, the second half really wasn’t.
Fastlane was a mixed show. It had some very good matches, but it also had some not so great matches and very strange booking.
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.
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).
Main event this week was pretty fun. It was highlighted by the return of Damien Sandow and a surprisingly competitive match between Heath Slater and Zack Ryder.
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.
A predictable show with mostly predictable matches (though Kalisto versus Neville stood out), but it’s a good watch.
This week’s Main Event had a surprisingly good match between Rusev and Ryback and a match that most people would expect to be good, Swagger versus Owens.
As a complete show, the 2016 Royal Rumble started strong and lost some steam as it went along. As a match, it seemed reminiscent of years past, which isn’t always a good thing.
Predictions are made and a fatal four way tag team match is held to determine two of the spots in the Royal Rumble match.
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.
This week Main Event is bookended by two decent tag matches with a very nice, aggressive, quick match between Neville and Breeze in the middle.
