A lot of things generated hype on tonight's SmackDown Live and one thing is for sure, the show was better than last night's Raw. We surely are on the road to SummerSlam.Here are the two things that were good and one that was bad.
#1. SaNity gets buried
SmackDown Live's General Manager Paige announced on social media that a Tag Team Tournament will happen and the winners will face Bludgeon Brothers at SummerSlam.
Sanity faced The New Day and lost. I cannot understand why was even Sanity brought to the main roster. Rather than New Day, Sanity should have advanced and won over the other team to face Bludgeon Brothers and won the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. But, they lost in the first round. Every bit of momentum they had is lost. Will they become the next Ascension going forward?
#2. Becky Lynch finally gets to reclaim her throne
The Irish Lass Kicker is one of the most popular and underutilized women on the main roster. After being out of the SmackDown Live Women's Title picture, she has been given another opportunity to prove herself. She has been on a roll recently, winning seven consecutive matches in the last seven weeks, she has been handed a match against Carmella(current SmackDown Live Women's Champion) and she won. She made the Women's Champion tap out.
Carmella' title reign has been underwhelming and without James Ellsworth(fired tonight) it will become more boring. The best thing is to do is make the same thing happen at SummerSlam that happened tonight. I would love to see Becky winning the championship after two years and once again go where she belongs.
#3. Samoa Joe attacks AJ Styles and signs contract even before Paige announces his name
It was confirmed last week that General Manager Paige will announce who will face AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. It has been reported by wrestling observers and websites that his opponent will be none other than Samoa Joe.
After Paige got interrupted by James Ellsworth and went backstage for throwing him out of the building, Samoa Joe viciously attacked the WWE Champion even before his name was announced by General Manager Paige.
Joe would then put AJ Styles to sleep with Coquina Clutch and then sign the contract for a match at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship. That's how you make a statement. The build-up towards the match will also become excellent.
Now that WWE is giving us Roman Reigns Vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship, this match will help them gain viewers for SummerSlam. This match will also now be known for a great match(as these two never fail to deliver), not for the boos we are going to hear for Roman Reigns.
I think the match will be excellent and the best match we are going to see at SummerSlam.
