Smackdown kicked off excitingly last night from San Diego, California. It was an entertaining segment with the heel superstars acting great to note on last week’s altercation when an RKO occurred out of nowhere. The stipulation of barring Owens from the ringside area in a cunning way was also great to hear. So, it was a quite good opening segment.
The announced alterations for the Clash of Champions PPV will make things interesting by adding some more flavors to them. Also, the utilisation of Rusev and Aiden English was great on this week’s show. They have great potential as a tag team, and hence it was a good idea to include them in the title match.
Decent opener tonight in San Diego, enjoyed Sami Zayn mocking the “barred from ringside” stipulation last week providing his own tutorial #SDLive

The inclusion of Dolph Ziggler into the United States Championship match is indeed an interesting one. Roode has not been able to accomplish much as a singles competitor, for now. He needs more momentums on his side which will be helped with the show-off acting as a major heel against him. Also, Ziggler needs to win this match, desperately to keep his relevance on the roster.
Not much of a match between Baron Corbin and Bobby Roode tonight, I like the Dolph Ziggler presentation right now, but if he doesn’t win at #WWEClash it’s just another long line of Ziggler’s character doing stuff and nothing advancing #SDLive

Another lame match took place in the women’s division between Charlotte Flair and Tamina Snuka. Apparently, The Queen has not been able to present herself as a strong champion due to lack of worthy opponents by her side. Ruby Riott is expected to make that up for her in the upcoming weeks as soon as Clash of Champions PPV pass by.
Very good main event tonight with handcuffed Kevin Owens at ringside, Sami Zayn is actually developing well as a heel act (despite being really fun act as a babyface), they really seem to be planting a seed of problems between Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon #SDLive

Overall, the show did a lot to advance #WWEClash in two weeks, but it was definitely one of those episodes that you could have skipped and missed nothing, lots of quick matches and a solid main event, average effort tonight in San Diego #SDLive

The main event of Smackdown turned out to be quite an interesting one with Kevin Owens getting handcuffed at the ringside. His bond is getting stronger with Sami Zayn providing funny antics for the audience. They are really helping out to plant the seeds of a feud between Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan, as of late that is expected to have a huge culmination. Check out the Twitter reactions from the show,
