Good WWE SmackDown opener. Seeing Jimmy get the spotlight in a solo run makes this writer happy. The top rope move by Big Jim was a thing of beauty. McIntyre is a badass for wrestling after getting his knee drained. The diabolical laugh after the Claymore spot is one of the many reasons McIntyre is a must-see act.

What did LA Knight do that got him pushed down the midcard? The feud with Nakamura hasnāt been interesting in months. This writer was hoping heād move to RAW via the transfer window but it seems heās going to stay on SmackDown for a while. As for the match, Truth and Melo were the highlights.
What was stopping Hunter from giving us this version of The Street Profits when they were with Bobby Lashley? Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins looked absolutely dominant in their annihilation of THREE tag teams on WWE SmackDown. As for the match, this was the most intense performance Iāve seen from Pretty Deadly. Looking forward to whatās in store for the tag team title picture.

They couldāve replaced the in-ring promo with a backstage segment. Tiffany clearly isnāt comfortable on the mic. Plus, why did it take her so long to beat Candice LeRae? Thatās now how you book a world champion. As for Trish Stratus, she almost got crushed by Nia. Lastly, they left Tiffany for the second straight week in the ring so Charlotte could do the stupid sign-point thing.
Good tag team action. Jacob Fatu never fails to impress this writer. That said, the whole build to Fatu versus Solo seems rushed. They donāt need the accidental attack spots to build a rumored match at WrestleMania. Priest with a huge South of Heaven for the win was a great watch.

This one dragged for far too long. The Rockās improvisational skills have seen better days. Last nightās WWE SmackDown promo wasnāt one of them. Rocky is starting to sound like Jon Moxley with all the riddles in his promos. It has become kind of repetitive. The only better part of the promo was Rock asking Rhodes for his soul. Elimination Chamber is certainly going to be interesting between these two.
