Last night’s Smackdown Live opened up with another segment between Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon that is continuing for months surrounding with tense moments.
It turned out to be quite awkward between them at the time but AJ Styles appeared on the scene to save the moment. This had also set the tone for the main event match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
Started a bit rough, but a good opening segment involving Shane McMahon, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles to hype tonight’s main event and continue to tease the tension between Shane and Bryan #SDLive

The opening contest was a good one, too. It is good to see the Riott Squad getting the spotlight and in-ring presence on a weekly basis which is definitely good for their WWE career.
The matchup was quite good with the faction trying to show their strength while Charlotte overcame all the odds being the Queen.
The Bludgeon Brothers and The Usos continued to cross paths teasing a matchup in the future over the championship.
We can’t wait to see this contest which is going to be a real hard-hitting contest. The Usos continued to show their dominance with strong promos on a weekly basis.
Excellent match between Bobby Roode and Rusev tonight, I really hope to see more between these two in the future on this brand, the RKO out of no where was also very well executed tonight with Orton attacking Roode during his post-match celebration #SDLive

The United States Championship match was a solid one. The chemistry between Bobby Roode and Rusev was too good to miss. It was bad to see Rusev coming up short, yet again despite huge cheers from the crowd.
Considering that Wrestlemania season is coming, Randy Orton appeared in the scene after the match hinting that he might get involved in the scenario in the near future which is interesting.
Great main event between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, we’ve seen these guys wrestle a lot in #WWE but man, they just have incredible chemistry together, love the move having Styles get involved to setup a triple threat match at the #WWEFastlane PPV next month #SDLive

The main event match was good, too with a predictive outcome. The match was disqualified at the end via Styles’ interference.
This allowed the officials to retain both Owens and Zayn in the title picture setting up a triple threat match at Fastlane. Till then, the champion will have to deal with these on the blue brand.
Overall, some really good wrestling from #WWE tonight with the blue brand, a much stronger episode this week, they did a lot to setup the tag team division and #WWEFastlane with Styles vs. Owens vs. Zayn, real fun show tonight in Kansas City #SDLive

The #1 spot on the #SDLiveTop10 is where the #WWEChampion should be. Week in, week out I’m happy to represent #SDLive and fight for my place at the top…no matter how many competitors are thrown my way.

A @WWE #SDLive without Mojo Rawley is a disgusting sight. Next match I have someone is getting brutalized.
