Blissful Corbin bought what was coming to him this week — after Madcap Moss returned with revenge on his thoughts.
Welcome again to a different SmackDown roundup, this time masking the June 3 episode that includes a tag staff title protection from The Usos, the return of Madcap Moss and Natalya incomes a title alternative.
Right here’s a fast recap of the match outcomes:
– The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland and Butch) defeated New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods by way of pinfall
– Jinder Mahal defeated Humberto Carrillo by way of roll-up pinfall
– Natalya defeated Shayna Baszler, Raquel Rodriguez, Shotzi, Xia Li and Aliyah by way of pinfall to earn a SmackDown Girls’s title alternative
– Blissful Corbin defeated Madcap Moss by way of disqualification
– The Usos defeated Riddle and Nakamura by way of pinfall to retain the Undisputed Tag Staff titles
Match of the evening: Riddle/Nakamura vs. The Usos
Riddle goes solo vs. The Usos after Shinske Nakamura is injured I WWE on FOX
Riddle discovered himself taking over The Usos alone on Friday Night time SmackDown after Shinske Nakamura was injured by Jimmy and Jey Usos, just like the opposite half of RK-Bro, Randy Orton.
As soon as Nakamura bought taken out of the match, Riddle believably wrestling in opposition to each Usos alone was spectacular.
Riddle continues to shine with each alternative handed in his course now that he’s with out Randy Orton in his nook.
Sami Zayn attempting to develop into a part of The Bloodline can also be certainly one of my favourite elements of SmackDown proper now, so I loved his involvement within the end. Having him distract Riddle from the truck was a pleasant contact.
Finest second: Madcap Moss returns
Madcap Moss will get a shot at revenge vs. Blissful Corbin on Friday Night time SmackDown I WWE on FOX
Madcap Moss bought his highly-anticipated shot at revenge in opposition to Blissful Corbin after struggling a neck damage and calling Corbin out for disrespecting André the Big’s legacy.
This was a promising return for Blissful Corbin’s former joke man.
If he’s ever going to imply extra in WWE, ditching the suspenders and lame jokes for one thing critical badly wanted to occur. Hopefully, they alter his title subsequent. Madcap alone fits him higher.
Probably the most shocking half was the gang favoring Moss so closely.
Whether or not individuals wish to consider it or not, his face flip appears to have been successful, and this section confirmed extra of the potential higher-ups see in him. That is a win in my e book.
Further highlights:
Natalya being Ronda Rousey’s subsequent title challenger was shocking, however probably the most attention-grabbing half might be how Shayna Baszler will get concerned.
Ronda Rousey’s subsequent competitor determined in star-studded Six Pack Problem I WWE on FOX
Ronda Rousey came upon who her subsequent competitor might be on Friday Night time SmackDown as Shotzi Blackheart, Aliyah, Natalya, Shayna Baszler and Xia Li battled for an opportunity at The Baddest Girl on the Planet.
Lacey Evans is seemingly a SmackDown Celebrity once more.
Hopefully, she will be able to get again on observe now. The model switcheroo killed any anticipation constructed up by her return vignettes.
Lingering query: Is the SmackDown roster too skinny proper now?
Lack of roster depth appears to be hurting this present.
New Day have been feuding with Sheamus, Ridge and Butch since earlier than WrestleMania, and there doesn’t look like an finish in sight.
The addition of Gunther and Raquel Rodriguez helped, however these are stars who nonetheless have to be constructed up into larger names.
Till that occurs, SmackDown wants just a few extra established stars — particularly if Roman Reigns goes to be extra absent.
