MORELOCK Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The Singh Brothers being really into clapping for Jinder was the best part of this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I love that Jinder Mahal is now a part timer lol. This was a good show until Vince reminded us of his hard on for hometown losses. I enjoyed Usos and New Day, you can tell nobody in creative is writing ANY of their material. Why is Nakamura still sent out there to talk? He never talked in NXT. Barely anyway. The women's brawl was entertaining as hell, I'm looking forward to their MITB ladder match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Women's segment was awesome. Completely made up for the stinker on RAW. Becky and Carmella had a great little scrap. Charlotte was tossing people around like a female Cesaro. Even Tamina looked like a bad ass throwing monitors around. Usos were very good too. The feud with New Day seems like a big deal. Meanwhile, I'm happy they've found something for Breezango to do. The opening tag team match was better than last week because Nak and Zayn took turns selling. AJ vs Dolph was very good up until the finish. One day someone will win in their hometown... Randy Orton cut a great promo for a guy who is going to be losing in his hometown. It didn't feel scripted at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brysynner Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 So does Naomi get the night off at MITB or could there be a debuting superstar to take her on in a title match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusev demanded a title match at MITB and Shane gave it to Lana? I could also see Naomi demanding to be in the match and put her title on the line instead of having two briefcases around.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I love the Jinder/Orton program feeling like the least important part of Smackdown. The New Day feels fresh again. I'm looking forward to both MITB matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I really enjoyed the women's brawl too and am looking forward to their match at MitB. That Nattie sure loves going through the announce table though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm expecting Jinder to kick some serious ass when they tour India. Of course, Jinder is also from Calgary, but that's probably more nuance than Vince and the writers can handle. Dug the women's brawl. Have no idea if the ladder match will be good or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I wish instead of the standard MITB trope of everyone being a threat and trading wins/falls for a month, they'd just let the concept play out organically. Anyone can be in the right place at the right time. Ziggler beating Styles clean makes me think he's no more of a threat to winning a ladder match than not. Come to think of it, having a guy in there who thinks they have no chance of winning, but are there purely to stop someone else from winning also works just fine.

Eivion Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The women's segment was awesome and easily the highlight of the show. Somewhat of afraid of a ladder match with them, but hopefully its good. The New Day/Usos segment was nice. So happy the Fashion Files are continuing. The match with the Colons was fun. Thought the main event was enjoyable save the end. I don't really mind Dolph winning, but Dolph winning semi-cleanly was bs and completely unnecessary with the match they are going into being a ladder match. 2 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: Why is Nakamura still sent out there to talk?

caley Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I can't believe they pre-taped the 5-way promos and they were still awful. Breezongo is basically Smackdown's Golden Truth. Better than being The Ascension. Also hilarious was Shane McMahon dancing out to the ring, with the full entrance while the women were beating the tar out of each other. My DVR randomly decided to skip the last half hour of the show, so I missed Orton's promo and Styles-Ziggler...I'm okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I enjoyed the SNME-esque approach with the promos to start the show. I also enjoy the new picture-in-picture commercial thing. Actually, the overall feel of the show is miles above Raw Other than that, I thought this was a pretty good show. The women's brawl was nicely done. Not a big fan of Tamina, but she's better than Nia Jax (I know she's on a different show), so she won't bring the match down. I cant think of any negative thoughts about the show that I had while watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
