Dolph Ziggler\u2019s entrance following it was not as welcome. I know WWE wants to build up Shinsuke as a charismatic artist. They seem to be trying to make him Japanese Jeff Hardy (circa 2009). It\u2019s a fair strategy. I wish Shinsuke would have had a chance to talk prior to Dolph\u2019s introduction and without the mouthguard in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Dolph Ziggler has poor comedic timing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; AJ Styles and Baron Corbin had another decent match with Kevin Owens\u2019 commentary effort making it fun to watch. Baron Corbin seems to be horrible at defending against surprise roll ups. He should work on that aspect of his game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Sami Zayn saving AJ Styles assures AJ is a good guy (and the top good guy) on Smackdown now. I am all about a Baron Corbin and Sami Zayn program going forward. It seems like a fun way to pass some time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I am fundamentally opposed to the Beat The Clock concept and Beat The Clock matches. Both are illogical. Of course a team wants to win quickly. Why wouldn\u2019t they? WWE has done away with time limits because they seem too old school, but they regularly bring back a weird system where the team with the weakest competition wins a title match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The Colons vs. American Alpha surprised me, both by occurring and with American Alpha getting a win. It didn\u2019t feel like the right moment in the program of either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Rusev\u2019s demand for a championship match at Money in the Bank was interesting. I am fine with Rusev getting a shot at Randy Orton after Jinder Mahal. It helps to keep Orton occupied for a month and it keeps a massive amount of talent in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Rusev certainly seemed sad while asking for a title match.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-747122812\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Randy Orton and Erick Rowan had a fine garbage brawl. It might have been a career highlight for Rowan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Jinder Mahal absconding (I love how often the word \u201cabscond\u201d was used on this show) with the WWE Championship served a couple purposes: It kept the title from being in the weird House of Horrors thing on Sunday and it gave Orton a reason to be mad at Jinder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I didn\u2019t love Jinder Mahal\u2019s work on this show. His promo style was simply shouting and more shouting. It didn\u2019t work. I also can\u2019t say I bought into the content, as for the second week in a row, WWE used Jinder Mahal to make diversity the heel in their own story. I don\u2019t need Smackdown to become the Alt-Right brand (unless Raw plans to become massively progressive).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; To echo <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/2017\/4\/12\/15272018\/burlesque-lana-wwe-smackdown-promo-video-not-good-dance-critique-hope-wrestling-better\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this excellent piece Stella at Cageside Seats wrote a couple weeks ago<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Lana\u2019s dancing is truly embarrassing. Lana has defended herself saying there was no music playing while she was recording, but this is a major WWE production flaw. It looks like garbage to have Lana lacking rhythm just kind of snapping and moving on a chair. It says nothing about her personality unless her revamped character is going to be \u201cpoor dancer\u201d when she eventually debuts. It\u2019s a weird series of vignettes and I haven\u2019t found them particularly effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I\u2019m glad Tyler Breeze and Fandango are getting a chance to shine. I am a little confused about whether they are good or bad people, but I\u2019m glad two talented and hardworking wrestlers will get an opportunity. They should have a very good match with The Usos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Naomi vs. Charlotte Flair in the main event was fun. The end of the match was predictable and heavily hinted at throughout the night. The body of the match did a lot to build Naomi and Charlotte up as evenly matched foes. I appreciated the effort there. I do eventually expect Naomi to lose to Charlotte in a Women\u2019s Championship match, but I\u2019m glad it didn\u2019t happen on this show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Where was Becky Lynch at the end of Smackdown? Fans were expecting her and WWE did show us Becky in the building earlier in the night. This was odd. Why wouldn\u2019t Becky run out to help (or at least to beat up James Ellsworth)? Maybe the eventual idea is Becky being asked by Charlotte to help? That wouldn\u2019t be a bad thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, this was an okay show. Nothing stood out as awful, aside from Lana\u2019s offbeat dancing, but nothing was exceptional either. It was a maintenance show with a lot of time to go until Backlash (and a few Raw stories that need to conclude before true Backlash build can begin).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Got thoughts on this show or my review of it?
