SmackDown 03.11.2023

Finally, The Radint Team Is come Back In Milwaukee!

This marks the last SmackDown before Crown Jewel, and anticipation is high. Let's dive into the events:

LA Knight Confronts Roman Reigns:

Opening the show is LA Knight, a standout performer in the modern WWE era. He knows how to ignite the crowd and capture their hearts. Knight acknowledges Roman Reigns' lengthy title reign but boldly promises to deliver a BFT to the Tribal Chief's head. Roman Reigns, unable to stay silent, interrupts Knight from Los Angeles.

Symbolically, this mirrors a previous encounter between the two. The Head of the Table, Roman Reigns, asserts his dominance with powerful words: "I am Roman Reigns, the Head of the Table, your Tribal Chief, and the Face of the WWE." While acknowledging Knight's achievements, Reigns dismisses his aspirations. The tension builds, and the prospect of their upcoming fight intensifies.

The atmosphere is electric as two of my favorite wrestlers prepare for a fiery showdown. The uncertainty adds to the excitement, leaving me less than certain that the Tribal Chief will retain the championship.

Kevin Owens vs Austin Theory:

The show kicks into high gear with a match between Kevin Owens, the SmackDown brawler, and the young rising star, Austin Theory. Owens showcased his dominance last week by KO'ing both Theory and Grayson. The match is physical, featuring intense brawls and punch exchanges. Notably, Owens executes a Fisherman Buster from the third rope and a Pop-up Powerbomb. The Stunner seals the deal, sending Austin Theory to sleep. The stage is set for Grayson to step up against Owens next week.

Bobby Lashley and B-Fab's Possible Union:

In the backstage scene, Logan Paul engages with the Street Profits and The Almighty. B-Fab enters the picture, seeking an audience with Bobby Lashley. The potential union between Lashley and B-Fab adds an intriguing layer to the evolving storyline.

Chelsea Green and Piper Niven vs Shotzi and Charlotte Flair:

Finally, the tag team champions, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven, are involved in a tag team match. Recent weeks saw Green fighting solo, sparking curiosity about Shotzi's potential partner, likely Scarlet due to their shared presence at Halloween Havoc. The match, although short, showcases Charlotte Flair's dominance as she almost single-handedly dismantles both tag team champions. Backstage, the unholy union closely observes these events, hinting at future developments.

Solo Sikoa confronts John Cena by himself

Finally, Solo takes the microphone from Paul's hands. I want something impactful from Solo, but it's refreshing to see him express himself verbally. We're used to seeing him as a silent killing machine, so it's a notable shift.

Unfortunately, John is still the GOAT, maybe not in the ring, but on the microphone, he's five steps ahead. "Solo, please tape your fingers right because the only place it will stick tomorrow is your own ass!" There are no smiles, no respect from John today.

Tomorrow will be a huge night for both wrestlers. The victory is necessary to prove that one of them still has it, and the second is ready to write a new chapter in WWE history.

Pretty Deadly vs The Brawling Brutes in a Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Match

It was a great fight without any rules or tags a brutal, old-fashioned brawl. Initially, it seemed like the Brutes had a huge advantage in this type of match. However, YES BOY! showed themselves to be pretty confident and fought back bravely.

Both teams utilized different weapons, including bottles, barrels, tables, and special Irish sticks. As the chaos unfolded, Ridge Holland made a crucial mistake, crashing through three barrels. Simultaneously, Butch was stunned with a bottle, creating the opportunity for Kit Wilson and Elton Prince to execute "Spilt Milk" through a table from the second rope. It's another victory for Pretty Deadly! Damn, I love these guys.

Rey Mysterio and Logan Paul - United States Title Weigh-In

I still don't quite understand the point of a weigh-in for WWE, but here are the numbers: 96 kilograms for Logan and 79 kilograms for Rey. During the staredown, Logan unleashed a barrage of dirty words at Rey. The legendary Rey Mysterio couldn't tolerate it and responded with a swift slap to Logan's pretty face.

Fired up, Logan attempted to retaliate, but Rey skillfully used a microphone as a weapon, striking Logan straight into the skull. It's always satisfying to see a smaller guy like Rey Mysterio putting the bigger boys on their asses. Wishing the Masked Legend all the luck in the upcoming event.

Bianca Belair vs Bayley

In our main event, Damage Control members are banned from ringside. Bayley stands alone tonight against the unstoppable force that is Bianca Belair. It comes as no surprise that in a fair fight, Bayley has no real chance against Belair. All her success is achieved outside the ring, utilizing Bianca's hair or strategically using the surroundings to her advantage.

Every time Bianca pushes her opponent back into the ring, we witness a true destruction of the Damage Control member. To secure victory, Bianca performs a massive Superplex from the top rope. She then uses her hair as a whip, smashing Bayley in the midsection, and finishes it off with the KOD (Kiss of Death). To send a clear message, Bianca performs another KOD on Bayley through the commentator's desk, signaling her readiness for tomorrow. I'm concerned about Sky's title reign.

This Smack'n'Down wasn't rich in good fights, except for the Pretty Deadly match and the main event. However, we witnessed Solo on the microphone, the expansion of Bobby Lashley's group, and a confrontation between two of the most popular guys in WWE today, Roman and LA Knight. Therefore, I can't give it less than 7/10. See you at Crown Jewel. Don't miss us
