-Friday Night Smackdown on Fox finished with an B as the majority grade with 34 percent of the vote. C finished second with 20 percent of the vote. I gave the show a B grade (using the empty venue curve) for what turned out to be a newsworthy show thanks to the tag title change, the announcement of the climb the corporate ladder matches, and the MITB qualifying matches.
-AEW Dynamite scored an B grade from the majority of the voters in our post show poll with 34 percent of the vote. A finished second with 25 percent of the vote. I gave the show a C+ grade, in part because the main event felt overhyped.
-The NXT on USA Network show produced an B grade from 37 percent of the voters in our post show poll. A finished second with 35 percent. I gave the show an B grade.
