SmackDown Live

The show opens with Daniel Bryan in the ring ready to host an open forum with the Women's Championship six-pack challenge.
The first person he brings out is Becky Lynch. She makes a joke about expecting Bryan to bring out Nikki Bella first.
Bryan plugs Total Bellas.
Natalya is out next, and she has nothing but mean things to say to Becky.
Alexa Bliss and Carmella come out as well, and it almost turns into a three on one fight, but Naomi and Nikki Bella run to the ring to even the odds.
Nikki gets taken out, but Naomi and Becky manage to clear the ring to end the segment.


The Miz vs. Apollo Crews w/ Dolph Ziggler on commentary.

Miz sends Maryse into the ring to retrieve his title from Ziggler. The Show Off mocks him for hiding behind his wife.

Backstage, Renee Young interviews AJ Styles about his upcoming match against Dean Ambrose.

Orton gives an interview backstage trying to tell a story like Bray Wyatt. His story is a lot more coherent than the things we usually hear from Wyatt.

Back in the ring, Fanango is out by himself to give a promo. He says Breeze couldn't be here because he is in Dubai looking at silks for their fashion line.
He has some woman with a bunch of tattoos in the ring to dance with him.
He asks if anyone has the fire to come dance with him, so naturally Kane's pyro goes off and he heads to the ring. Fandango seems into it, until he gets Chokeslammed.


Semi Finals of The Tag Team Championship Tournament

The Hype Bros vs. Heath Slater and Rhyno

Heath Slater and Rhyno won and advances to the finals against American Alpha at Backlash.



Charly Caruso is in the ring to interview both men, but Ambrose tells her to leave because it might get dangerous in the ring.
Ambrose says he brought AJ a gift, which is an old bowling trophy for participation. He says it's the only trophy Styles will ever get from him.
Then he plays a clip of AJ being crotched on the top rope last week.
Styles says he will win. Ambrose says he will win. They both exchanged a great promo between the two.
AJ takes a cheap shot and kicks Ambrose in the crotch before smashing the bowling trophy. The show ends with Ambrose holding his injured area.

I think there match at Backlash will be awesome.


Rating: 20/20

It was a decent show and matches but also great promos to lead us to the first SmackDown Live PPV. This Sunday for Backlash.
