The Yeah and Naah of SmackDown Live

The episode was great, to say the least
The episode was great, to say the least

This week's SmackDown Live was great. The show again proved why it was better than 'The A Show' Raw last night. The show aired from Tampa, Florida.

The matches, segments and promos were fun. There were some fun moments and some bitter moments from the show. So I would like to introduce Yeah as great moments and Naah as bad and unwatchable. Lets us talk about these moments:

#1. Yeah: The Opening Segment

Enter capti
This moment felt nice

The opening segment of the show saw Becky getting interviewed by Renee Young before she was interrupted by Carmella. Later, James Ellsworth's music played which helped Carmella attack Becky and even attempted to attack her with a chair before Charlotte came to make a save and help her best friend and hugging her in the ring.

Personally, I loved this segment as Charlotte returned after nearly two months and helped her best friend. Also, Carmella playing the music of James Ellsworth to distract Becky Lynch was great.

More of this happened, but I would talk about others later.

#1. Naah: Lana Vs Zelina Vega

Enter captio
This match never clicked

Zelina Vega Vs Lana was a disappointing encounter. This match was again a step back in the Women's Revolution. The match was another step towards Andrade 'Cien' Almas Vs Rusev and dissension of Rusev Day as Lana was distracted when Aiden English took out Andrade who was distracting Lana during the match.

Personally, it felt like the match was taking place like it is again the Divas' Division. Also, this match showed what happens when you put two worst wrestlers against each other.

#2. Yeah: The Tag Team Tournament match

Enter capti
Best match of the show

The Usos Vs The Bar again stole the show on tonight's SmackDown. Remember their Champion Vs Champion match last year at Survivor Series, the match again proved why these two teams are the best teams in WWE currently.

This match was the second match of the Tag Team Championship tournament where the winners were to face The New Day. The closing moments of the match saw Jimmy Uso hitting the Uso Splash on Sheamus only the count to be broken by Cesaro at 2. Then both the Usos went on top trying to hit Double Uso Splash, with Jimmy running into an uppercut by Cesaro and Sheamus putting his knees up and covered Jey for 3-count.

This also will give us a match between New Day and The Bar next week. But the match this week stole the show.

#2. Naah: The total matches on the show

Enter capti
Only three matches happened this week on SmackDown

This week only featured three matches.

Most of the card featured segments. Also, the there was no singles men's wrestling match. The card consisted of two women's matches and one Tag team match. On a wrestling show, the matches should be a high priority and not only on the promos.

Let us see what WWE has packed on two other episodes of SmackDown before SummerSlam.

#3. Yeah: All the promo segments

E
These promo segments were awesome

The show was heavily featured by promo segments and for sure they didn't disappoint.

Samoa Joe has become one of the best mic workers of the WWE. He talked about how he respects WWE Champion AJ Styles due to his contributions and his duty for the championships, but he is not a good dad. This promo also helped in the storytelling for an awesome match.

On the other hand, the Jeff Hardy-Shinsuke Nakamura-Randy Orton segment was great. Orton stopping Nakamura and then ordering him to deliver Kinshasa to Jeff Hardy and then himself viciously attacking Hardy and taking away his locket and removed his face paint too.

Let us see how both the rivalries go.

#3. Naah: Charlotte Flair Vs Carmella

Enter captio
This match wasn't entertaining at all

Carmella is one of the worst wrestlers in the company and she again proved why. She definitely is not a championship material but still, WWE has kept her as champion since the last three months.

The match was watchable only because of Charlotte's performance in the match. The only thing this match helped in was showing a frustrated Becky Lynch as by defeating Carmella, Charlotte is also added to the Women's Championship match at SummerSlam.

Let us see what goes in future.

Cannot be said: Daniel Bryan and the Miz promo

Enter captio
This segment wasn't that great

The segment was good, to say the least. The two men put on great mic performance. The promos got personal as The Miz asked Daniel Bryan to go back to Independent Wrestling by letting his contract expire and Daniel Bryan telling The Miz that he can't be as great of Hollywood actor as The Rock or John Cena. The Miz talked about how he made Daniel Bryan famous on Talking Smack and he was nothing before it and Daniel telling Miz that for him fame does not matter and Miz telling Daniel that he just acts like a baby.

Then what was bad in the segment. Both of them put a great performance on the mic, but why did Daniel Bryan say about All Women's PPV(the announcement that was made last week). Also, why was Miz looking like a coward and talking about his show Miz and Mrs?

Let us see what WWE plans ahead in their rivalry.
