AJ Styles kicked off this week’s Smackdown Live with a surprising yet predicted manner. It was his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia where he continued the storyline angle with Daniel Bryan. The latter one was not willing to go to Saudi Arabia. Hence the creative team executed a brilliant idea to prepone the match on last night’s show, itself. Now that produced a dream match on Smackdown.

AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan is a fantasy booking that could sell out Wrestlemania-caliber events. It was a pleasure for the fans that they received this match on a weekly episode. The two of them pulled each other to the longest extent to bring out the absolute best out of them. No doubt the match turned out to be one of the greatest of all-time in the history of Smackdown Live.

Samoa Joe turned out to be the replacement of Daniel Bryan for Crown Jewel as he returned on the show. The match might sound repetitive to some of the fans. But then both AJ Styles and Samoa Joe are veterans in this industry. So they should pull off yet another successful match at the PPV event on this Friday night. It also confirmed that Samoa Joe is not dealing with an injury.

The street fight match was really fun to watch with a Halloween theme attached to it. The New Day is the best to entertain the fans and they picked up a solo win courtesy Big E to gain some momentums. Another such matchup was Nakamura vs. R-Truth. Although the champion retained, Truth is more than over with the crowd. He should win the US title for a one-off occasion. Nakamura’s title run has become more than dud for the last 100 days.

It is always good to see veterans teaming up for a tag team match. Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio are one of the dream teams that the fans want to witness. The officials made that possible to hype up the world cup tournament. They picked up the win as expected via their high-flying offenses. But it was a good decision to keep Randy Orton stand tall after delivering RKOs to all of them. He is the strongest guy at this point on Smackdown who should not lose any momentums.

Overall, it was a great episode of Smackdown in terms of the contest. We saw a lot of actions on the show which was worthy of a decent Crown Jewel buildup. Here are the Twitter reactions from this episode,
