-Friday Night Smackdown on Fox finished with B as the majority grade with 41 percent of the vote. A finished second with 28 percent of the vote. I gave the show a B+ grade (using the empty venue curve for all shows). Everything served a purpose and nothing felt like filler.
-The NXT on USA Network show scored a B grade from the majority of the voters in our post show poll with 41 percent of the vote. A finished second with 30 percent of the vote. I gave the show an B- grade. I’m not sure how you give an A to a show that concluded with an “apparent no-contest” cheap finish, but to each their own.
-AEW Dynamite produced an B grade from 35 percent of the voters in our post show poll. A finished second with 37 percent. I gave the show a D+ grade for some rough in-ring work and because it just didn’t move me as a go-home show for the Double Or Nothing pay-per-view.
