WWE Smackdown - Grading tonight’s episode (25th June 2019)

#8 Knock, knock

Aleister Black once again begged for somebody to step up and challenge him, but even he looked as though he was ready to give up hope of finding an opponent.

But finally, somebody knocked on Aleister's door.

Who was it? ...Well, unfortunately, we don't know yet.

You've got to think that Aleister Black's first singles feud on the main roster will begin next week and fingers crossed it will be worth the wait.

Grade: C+

#9 Is Dolph finally done?

It's #2OutOf3Falls, and @HEELZiggler is ONE FALL AWAY from being added to the #WWEChampionship Match at #ExtremeRules with @TrueKofi and @SamoaJoe! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/BokXjXZYEq

It felt like Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler were in for an uphill battle as they came out for their 2-out-of-3 falls main event match on Smackdown.

However, this turned out to be an excellent match in the end.

It got off to a slow start, but by the time the contest got to the final fall, the crowd were well into it and were cheering for every near fall.

This was by far the best match of Kofi and Dolph's most recent feud and looks to be the final match of their series as Kingston claimed the victory. He will now move on to defend his WWE Championship against Samoa Joe one-on-one at next month's Extreme Rules pay-per-view.

Grade: A-

Overall, Smackdown was an action-packed yet underwhelming show. The in-ring action was decent but there weren't any exciting developments in terms of storylines apart from a couple of teases for future matches.

Overall Grade: B-
