My Thoughts on the November 28th Episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown:

My Thoughts: This episode of SmackDown was extremely disappointing. While the previous show featured some excellent matches, this one had only one standout: the Main Event. It feels like WWE isn't putting in much effort anymore. They seem more focused on profits than quality, especially with their consistently high ticket prices. Overall, the episode suffered from poor writing and uninteresting television.

The November 28th Episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown — The Match Ratings:

The Opening Match: Jey Uso vs. Rusev in the Last Time Is Now Tournament Quarterfinal Match | The Match Rating: *.25 — This match sucked, and Rusev, in my opinion, has not been used the right way. This man has suffered more losses than wins. I thought when he won at the Clash at Paris that was his moment where he would take off, but that wasn't the case. Jey Uso has been in the midst of a run where a lot of people turned on him, and when someone who is a mid-carder at best, when a singles guy is getting treated like 2000's Rock, it comes to a point where people need to wake up and realize Jey Uso isn't that good, and he is just a Tag Guy. This match ending pissed me off because I didn't like how Rusev was made to look, and for Jey Uso, I hope LA Knight gets the win and advances to the Finals on RAW.

The 2nd Match: LA Knight vs. The Miz in the Last Time Is Now Tournament Quarterfinal Match | The Match Rating: **.25 — Just a standard singles match, nothing eye-popping happened. LA Knight, who has been removed from the biggest storyline in WWE, gets another mystery opponent, and that's The Miz, and he got the win against him to advance into the next round of the Tournament and now will face his rival Jey Uso to fight for the shot to be in the Finals for the Last Time Is Now Tournament.

The 3rd Match: Charlotte Flair (with Alexa Bliss) vs. Asuka (with Kairi Sane) in a Women’s WarGame Advantage Match | The Match Rating: **.75 — This was a decent match between Asuka and Charlotte Flair to get the advantage for the Women's WarGames Match. Charlotte Flair looked solid in this match, and I hope she continues to be a babyface. She has been on one of her better runs as of late, and the pairing with Alexa Bliss has been such a success. Asuka was doing her tactics and trying everything she could to get the win, but it didn’t pan out as Charlotte Flair got the win and the Advantage for the WarGames Match.

The Main Event Match: MFT (JC Mateo, Solo Sikoa, Talla Tonga, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa) vs. Rey Fenix, The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin), Sami Zayn & Shinsuke Nakamura in a Survivor Series Style Ten-Man Tag Team Elimination Match | The Match Rating: ***.25 — They could of added this to Survivor Series where it makes a lot of sense because of ths history of the event. But this was a fun Elimination Tag Match. Seeing Rey Fenix, MCMG, Sami Zayn, and Shinsuke Nakamura all work together against MFT was a cool sight to see because they are such a likable unit. The match was cool; they made Talla Tonga look like a monster as expected. Sami Zayn was the Iron Man of this match, trying to outlast everybody, but in the end, Solo Sikoa got the spike and the win. Afterwards, Uncle Howdy hit Sister Abigail, and now the new feud between the MFT and the Wyatt Sicks has started.

The November 28th Episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown — The Episode Grade: 1.75/10 (F) — This was such an awful episode of SmackDown. The episode before was filled with great matches, and this show had maybe one good match, which was the Main Event. WWE seems not to even try anymore. They care about money, and if people keep buying their ridiculous ticket prices. Awful Episode, lazy writing, and unappealing TV.
