The New Day enlist Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus, Ridge Holland & Butch I WWE on FOX
The New Day shocked the WWE Universe by enlisting Drew McIntyre to combat alongside of them towards Butch, Sheamus and Ridge Holland on Friday Night time SmackDown.
What a enjoyable solution to carry Drew again to the present after he was gone the previous few weeks selling Conflict on the Fortress.
It was additionally good that Woods obtained the pinfall for his or her group.
Admittedly, New Day in a six-man tag match with out Massive E nonetheless doesn’t really feel proper, however everybody concerned did a superb job of creating you overlook about it.
McIntyre’s dancing on the finish was significantly entertaining.
It seemed like a mixture of Jeff Jarrett and Eddie Guerrero taunts, relatively than precise dancing, however you gotta respect the man for giving it his all.
Finest second: Sami Zayn on The KO Present
This was a kind of WWE segments that might be loved by anybody.
Sami and Kevin, former greatest associates, appearing like they didn’t keep in mind why that they had stopped speaking within the first place – although they each completely did – was extremely relatable.
That second rapidly descending into one other argument (one the place they each reveal they very a lot nonetheless keep in mind their points) was performed completely by each performers.
This complete dialog felt like a scene out of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
Extra highlights:
Shanky’s character shift to lovable, dancing big would possibly really work.
Lingering query: Why would Shayna Baszler interrupt a Ronda Rousey match?
This was a minor nitpick on my half, however I simply couldn’t recover from Shayna Baszler (of all individuals) interrupting Ronda’s match.
Nearly all of followers watching know they’re greatest associates. They’ve even proven them coaching collectively lately backstage.
Ronda Rousey and Raquel Rodriguez be part of forces towards Shayna Baszler and Natalya I WWE on FOX
Ronda Rousey and Raquel Rodriguez joined forces acter their extremely anticipated rematch was interrupted by Shayna Baszler and Natalya on WWE Friday Night time SmackDown.
Why would Shayna all of the sudden take problem with Ronda simply because Shotzi fired her up a bit of?
The slightest tease of a match between Rousey and Baszler ought to be handled with far more care. In the event that they’re ever going to do this once more on TV, the upper-brass must have a agency plan in place first.
