Botches
- Peyton Royce and Billie Kay’s promo. I know they are supposed to be heels, but that “No Me – Naomi” joke was just atrocious and whoever wrote it should feel bad.
Bodyslams
- Daniel Bryan vs. Andrade Cien Almas. Although this match was done last week, these two are good enough to open a show hot twice in a row. This match was better than their last, and I look forward to more from them.
- Tag Team Triple Threat Match. A wonderful match that gave everybody a chance to shine. The tag team division is orders of magnitude better on Smackdown than RAW, and these triple threat matches have only cemented that truth.
- R-Truth and Carmella. R-Truth is probably the best dumb/brilliant character WWE has ever had. The saga of R-Truth hunting Carmella for a title shot has been highly entertaining, and the culmination tonight with them being paired up for the Mixed Match Challenge was delightful. I can’t wait to see these two in the tournament and the videos we will surely see of these two.
Smackdown Live has been consistently better than Monday Night RAW for a while now, and they had the deck stacked in their favor this week. RAW was a train wreck, and Smackdown was gliding on cruise control. The storylines that have been built up were progressed and everyone performed well. The basics of a professional wrestling show, but those were lost last night. It was nice to see the fundamentals in practice again.
