PPV Review: Summerslam 2018

Blood in the Water

Far from bludgeoned

For the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championships: Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs. The New Day

Despite their immense talent, Bludgeon Brothers aren't setting the house on fire. It's mostly due to the hokey outdated characters they play, rather than their dwindling skills or opportunities.

However, up against the New Day, they managed to make something just a bit exciting. Sure once again the match ran to a lethargic pace despite the four men's efforts. The real taste came towards the end with New Day showing such a fire, it seemed like we might finally get new champions worth celebrating.

Instead, the Bludgeoners opted for a disqualification, with a hammer bludgeoning of their opponents. Just when it seemed that they might be vulnerable, contrary to what they claimed. It's an intriguing story that could lead them better places if that is the plan despite claims of Erick Rowan being injured.

The only gripe, having faced the New Day before; this angle might have done better with a new tag team in their place. Perhaps we could have seen The Bar or Sanity be the ones to take down these monsters. After all, it's fire that beats fire.

Bludgeon Brothers cause the DQ, to lose but still retain their Smackdown Tag Team Titles
