Smackdown had a solid opener, this week. Daniel Bryan received big ovations from the London crowd, but it was Big Cass who stole the show.

Lately, he’s been owning it with the mic. The words that Brie wears the pant in the family sounded nasty and so Bryan’s attack Cass.

It seemed vicious that portrayed Bryan as a strong character. It was much-needed for his character.

The opening contest was a fun tag team match featuring the New Day and The Bar. It was good to see Woods getting back to action after last week’s injury in his mouth. The probable reason to give the win to New Day was to hand away any one of them an opportunity to MITB. Maybe, this is just a way to break-up the New Day on Smackdown.

Most of the time on this week’s Smackdown, we heard a lot of talking. Carmella took that to a whole new level during her Mellabration promo.

It pretty much was expected that Asuka is going to be her next opponent since Charlotte Flair is done with the title picture, for now. It will be interesting to see whether Asuka picks up a quick win at MITB.

After the hype-ups around Andrade Cien Almas, we expected better debut for him on Smackdown. A squash match seemed the most predictable thing.

Hopefully, he would not get wasted on the roster like his predecessors, Baron Corbin or Tye Dillinger. The triple threat qualifier won by Becky Lynch, was a bit slow in action.

The main event of Smackdown was a solid one between Styles and Nakamura. It was perhaps the best contest between these two than their previous meeting. The scenario has now been made interesting with the anticipation of an interesting stipulation for their next bout. Hopefully, this is going to be the last match between these two.

Overall, it was once again, a much better episode of Smackdown Live than Raw. Here are the Twitter reactions from the show,
