Thoughts on the October 15th, Edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown Show:


Thoughts: I thought Cody Rhodes opening segment promo was great. He added more elements to the feud with Kevin Owens. They making Kevin Owens look dangerous more dangerous than he was in NXT. We saw the first match of the WWE Women’s United States Tournament with Bayley, B - Fab, and Candice LeRae. I thought this was a fine match each woman in the match did their thing but I was glad Bayley got the victory and advances to the next round of the Tournament. LA Knight had a United States Championship Open Challenge which was answered by Berto of LDF. The match was pretty quick but it was fun I was glad Berto got an opportunity to showcase himself again he did fine but didn’t get the win. After the match Shinsuke Nakamura made his return to WWE and attacked LA Knight eyeing the WWE United States Championship in his return. The New Bloodline came out which led to The OG Bloodline to come out afterwards which caused a brawl of the ages. Everyone was going at it but then Bronson Reed made an attack on Roman Reigns and helped The New Bloodline. It seems like Bronson Reed has joined the sides of The New Bloodline and might be the 5th Member of the WarGames Match. The WWE Tag Team Championships Match was next with the MCGM, and The Street Profits. The match was starting to get good but Tommaso Ciampa of DIY attacked The Street Profits which caused a No Contest. I loved this after the match because it adds more drama in the WWE Tag Division. I’m really enjoying the SmackDown Tag Division as it’s starting to heat up and be a spotlight weekly on Friday Night SmackDown. The Main Event was Nia Jax & Naomi for the WWE Women’s Championship and the match was great. I didn’t expect it to be a show stealing main event I thought it was gonna be decent. But I enjoyed every second of this match. I thought Naomi looked sharp, and Nia Jax been the surprise of the year as she been delivering very good bouts as she looks like a totally different wrestler now. I liked how cutting to the backstage you see Judgement Day members Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez dismantling Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill. Bayley coming out and getting on Candice LeRae just a lot of fun chaos. The spot of the night had to be that amazing reversal counter by Naomi with the close call pin. So many close calls. But great match. To end the show Roman Reigns tries to call Paul Heyman but the shocker was the number wasn’t available anymore. What a cliff hanger to end an amazing SmackDown episode. Is Paul Heyman now with The Rock? Is the swerve coming? So many questions after this episode.


The November 15th, Edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown Match Ratings:


The Opening Match: Bayley vs. B - Fab vs. Candice LeRae in a Women’s Triple Threat Match in the First Round of the WWE Women’s United States Championship Tournament - Match Rating: ***.25 - I thought this was an okay opener. I loved the fact B - Fab had a chance to showcase her skill - set and how much she improved in the ring. I really liked how towards the end the match started to pick up. I thought the Tower of Doom spot was pretty sick anytime anyone does that it’s always such a fun spot. But Bayley was the right choice to win this match as she should be in the consideration to be the first woman to win the WWE Women’s United States Championship in my opinion. But solid opener every lady in the match had some cool moments. B - Fab I’m happy she got a true chance to display herself.


2nd Match: LA Knight (c) defeats Berto (with Angel Garza, Elektra Lopez, and Santos Escobar) for the WWE United States Championship - Match Rating: N/A - This was a surprise as I expected Santos Escobar be the one who accepted the challenge but instead it was Berto which I was happy about because he got a much needed opportunity. I thought the quick title match was pretty fun. Berto got some offense in and some cool counters but at the end a Blunt Force Trauma got LA Knight the victory. But after the match Shinsuke Nakamura made his return to WWE after being gone since April of this year. He attacked LA Knight and signaling he has eyes on the WWE United States Championship.


3rd Match: Motor City Gun Machine (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) (c) vs. The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) for the WWE Tag Team Championships - Match Rating: N/A - The match was starting to get very good until Tommaso Ciampa attacked both teams which caused a no contest for the match. Johnny Gargano try to play peace maker which caused Tommaso Ciampa to shove his best friend & long - time tag partner Johnny Gargano. The SmackDown Tag Division is starting to become very interesting and a spotlight on Friday Night SmackDown this is what I want to see this was great because you have teams jealous of MCGM and they all want one thing and that’s those WWE Tag Team Championships. Also, I liked how Angelo Dawkins stroked Alex Shelley as emotions were running very high at the moment as The Street Profits were screwed out an opportunity again. I need at Survivor Series or at WWE Saturday Night Main Event a Triple Threat tag Team Match for the WWE Tag Team Championships in some stipulation because this was a great bit.


The Main Event Match: Nia Jax (with Tiffany Stratton) (c) vs. Naomi for the WWE Women’s Championship - Match Rating: ****.25 - This was an amazing main event. Both women killed it. I thought this match was gonna be decent at best but they proved me wrong. Naomi is one of my favorites to watch and she delievered as per usual. The moment of the match had to be the reversal from the top into a sunset flip from Naomi which led to to a close pin - fall. But Nia Jax retained in a battle. But there was chaos outside with Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez in the back attack the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill. Bayley came out to get Candice LeRae but just all - around chaos around the ring. But I loved the ending of SmackDown with all women just beating each other asses.


The November 15th, WWE Friday Night SmackDown Match of the Night:  Nia Jax (with Tiffany Stratton) (c) vs. Naomi for the WWE Women’s Championship - Match Rating: ****.25


November 15th, Edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown Show Grade: 8.50/10 (B+) - A very fun episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. I thought the show it was entertaining throughout.
