WWE Smackdown as all the champions of Smackdown were seen standing on the stage, except Roman Reigns, of course. The beautiful Sonya Deville was seen standing in the ring who broke the news that WWE would leave Thunderdome in July and would return in front of Live Audience again. Then she introduced the champions and Roman Reigns at the end.
But Paul Heyman came in place of Roman and addressed the universe. After he went off, Bayley came out in the ring and cut a great promo. She addressed every champion and at the end she addressed Bianca Belair. Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax attacked Boianca from behind as Natalya and Tamina came out in the aid.
WWE Smackdown 21.05.21 Results & Ratings
Match 1 – Bayley, Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax defeated Natalya, Tamina and Bianca Belair by submission
A good six man tag team match to start things off. The match was booked for seven minutes and it was quite enjoyable. Shayna Baszler made Natalya submit at the end to secure the victory for her side.
Match 2 – Shinsuke Nakamura defeated King Corbin
Nakamura came out with NXT star Rick Boogs with his side. He had a guitar in his hand. He distracted Corbin playing the guitar during the match to distract him and Nakamura pinned Corbin with the roll up. Good to see Nakamura finally winning.
WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns came out to the arena with Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman. Roman was in a celebration mood after retaining the title at WrestleMania Backlash. He was then interfered by Cesaro. He challenged Roman for the title again at Hell in a Cell. Seth Rollins attacked Cesaro and beat him down.
Match 3 – Dominik Mysterio defeated Robert Roode
Short match booked for three minutes just to show the tag team champions more superior than Ziggler and Roode. Dominik pinned Roode with the frog splash.
The Usos vs. the Street Profits made official for next week.
Match 4 – WWE Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews defeated Big E, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens to retain
It was a very good match and it was booked for fifteen minutes. It was an action packed match where we can say all four athletes were given good screen times. As Big E was in control of the match, Aleister Black made his long awaited return and knocked out Big E with the Black Mask. Apollo pinned big E to retain after that.
Overall, it was a good show. Aleister’s return made it quite cool. All the title pictures were okay too. The main event of the show was really enjoyable. Even though, the reaction of the commentators were absolutely awful during Black’s return. Michael Cole should be ashamed of himself, after over twenty years in this business he still cannot sell a long awaited return. We give it 3 star out of five.
