WWE: Twitter Reactions to the Latest Edition of Smackdown Live: December 19, 2017 1

WWE Smackdown kicked off with a promo segment from Daniel Bryan. However, a heated confrontation was expected between the GM and Commissioner in the opener after what happened at Clash of Champions.

But, instead, we got a segment that left us in the middle of nowhere. Shane was reluctant to make any step and chose to leave the ring. The conflict with Bryan is likely to continue, however.

The first match of the night was solid with all the performers tearing each other apart. There’s no denying that Benjamin, Gable and The Usos are the bonafide performers on the blue brand. However, the challengers have not been able to go over with the crowd, at all. Despite their big win via pinfall, the crowd remained reactionless.

The women’s tag team match felt pretty short, yet again. It turned out to be a random tag team action between the babyface and the heel team. Carmella remained absent from the main show, without any reason. Also, it was a surprise to the fans that no further address was done to the speculations about Natalya’s career after she cut the heel promo at Clash of Champions.

The most exciting part of the evening was delivered when The New Day and Rusev-Aiden English competed in the tag team match. There’s no doubt that all of these performers are more than over with the crowd. The creative team let them have some fun with the Christmas theme in this match, and the audience enjoyed it, thoroughly.

In the main event of the night, the team of the AJ Styles, Nakamura and Orton took on against Jinder Mahal, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens. The crowd gave big reactions to Styles and Nakamura, as they pulled off offensive moves in the match to make it a watch. But, the contest was stretched to a big extent, and some part of it bored a bit as well.

Overall, it was not a good show nor a bad show either. Hopefully, we would get a better episode of Smackdown, the day after Christmas, next week. Check out the Twitter reactions from this week’s show:
