Miz TV with Team Hell No started and it turned into a really hot opener as the Bludgeons came out, but Sanity came out and attacked Kane and Bryan from behind. New Day with the save to a huge pop and it was a huge brawl. Heels stood tall (Miz bailed).
Nakamura vs AJ was fine, but it ended in a DQ due to Rusev. Hardy made the save and we got a tag team match (holla holla). Tag match was good as Rusev pinned Jeff to make the challenger for the World Title look strong.
They should really wait to build Nakamura/Hardy better. Since Nakamura was hurt, this PPV match feels incredibly rushed. Just have it as a main event on Smackdown in a few weeks.
Anyways good show so far for the first hour

Asuka vs Ellsworth in a lumberjack match up next
Sanity and Bludgeons vs Hell No & New Day is the main event
I think Dillinger vs Joe and Almas vs Sin Cara is still supposed to happen too.

Asuka vs Mella at the PPV with Ellsworth in a shark cage. It's legit the only stip for that which makes sense.
Joe vs Dillinger never happened. Didn't really need to honestly.
Almas vs Cara was good. Almas is a fucking star and they need to start putting him into a feud now. He should be US Champ. Granted I know the roster is stacked on Smackdown, Almas just needs to be in the upper level.
Main event was your chaotic 10 man. I dug it.

The Shark Cage deal needs to have Ellsworth drop something to Mella to use to win. Or some type of schmoz ending due to him dropping something down to the ring. Keep this going until Summerfest.

AJ vs Almas is announced for tonight!
That's a definite step up from a Sin Cara feud! Even though I don't think this is going to be what we get at Summerslam (I think Joe gets involved at some point)

Fucking fuck. Just have Vega run in and scrape the eyes. I know Almas had three segments with the champ, but old school is fine instead of losses don't matter every once and a while. Argh.

I loved the entire thing. He's still a "new guy" on the roster, so having that long of a match will only benefit him. I have far more faith in him on SD than I would the disaster that is RAW.
Happy it was first, so now it's back to the All Star Game

Happy it was first, so now it's back to the All Star Game Alright. I just don't think he needed to tap. I get he had the staredown after, which means something doesn't have to happen next week. Which is what I want. Stretch it. Still just don't understand having him tap that quick. Almas/Vega is $$$$$$$$.

Maybe you can have Vega spin it that whenever he got locked in the submission, tap quick because you don't want to do more damage than need be in a non title.
That said Rusev tapped against AJ like a month or so ago (back when he was feuding with AJ) before he was challenging for the title and they never even mentioned that, so who knows.
Also I liked the Miz/Bryan segment. We should get a great build for that at Summerslam.

We only liked it because we like Rusev and he got himself over. I want them to create things we care about. I hope it goes well. Definitely loved the Miz/DB stuff. THAT, I give a shit about.

Holy shit Orton beat down Hardy during the main event and stuck his finger through the hole Jeff has in his ears and pulled. Pretty sick visual.
Only thing I hate is they're back to teasing English breaking up with Rusev now, which is really dumb. English will be screwed without Rusev. He's Curt Hawkins level, which is sad but true. Rusev without a Rusev Day act puts him right back where he was too.
Becky gets her shot at a shot at Summerslam next week. Becky has been the most over female on SD. So it makes sense for her to be the one who wins at Summerslam. But it's WWE, so I wouldn't be shocked if Charlotte somehow gets put in the match instead and wins another title.

The ear deal was a nice touch. Orton was yanking back with no extra pressure like a pro. Agree with everything else.

I squirmed at first, then realized Jeff has those huge as hoops usually in his ears, so Randy could really pull on those things.
Pretty awesome heel shit from Orton, which is something I haven't said in easily 10 years.

The joy of KS watching Smackdown is a very solid example of why I still watch wrestling at my advanced age.

I like Becky's ring gear soooo much better. I just never really knew about steam punk or whatever and her old gear also reminded me of those Mad Max movies and those always freaked me out.

For the record, scorejr worked a Smackdown event in Green Bay a year or two ago and said that Becky Lynch is the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He ran into her back stage.

Carmella is fun to look at but I just don't buy into the character or the wrestling. I hope Becky wins at Summerslam if that's the way they're going.

I love Samoa Joe's violence. That man needs a strap and a long run.

I'd still like to see Big E transition to a singles wrestler. I'd also like to see him be much much more serious in that role. Kofi & Xavier could still tag and they even could all stay together but just have different focuses.
