WWE Friday Night Smackdown 6/16/23 Results and Review

Alright, It’s been a couple days since I saw the show, so don’t blame me that this is a short one. I will be Live in Cleveland, so no Raw review this week, unless someone messages me that they need it. I doubt anyone reads this, except for me and another idiot out there. Anyways, here are my thoughts on Smackdown.

Pretty Deadly wins a gauntlet Match for the Number 1 Contendership

This was a gauntlet match that lasted around 21 minutes, and it wasn’t horrible, with the exception of burying a few of the teams. No joke some teams were gone within a few minutes, while others took a little longer. Pretty Deadly would pull out a victory here, but it wasn’t without a bit of a fight from the Brawling Brutes. I thought for sure the Brutes had this one, but nope, it was Pretty Deadly with the win. Not a bad match, and a lengthy start to a 2 hour show.

Zelina Vega defeated Iyo Sky

Well, not much to be said here as it was a 2 minute match. I’m so tired of WWE and other promotions giving women only 2 minutes to do something. It was a match, but didn’t do a whole lot for me.

Karrion Kross and Scarlett defeated The OC (AJ Styles and Michin)

Another 2 minute match, and well, Karrion Kross steals one. This is just filler at this point.

Santos Escobar defeated LA Knight

There is no one on the roster that is organically over like LA Knight at this point. I can’t believe it, and yet he doesn’t get much in the way of a push. Another 2 minute epic here folks, leaving a lot to be desired if you ask me.

The Bloodline Explodes

This was a great segment and it had The Bloodline exploding, with a superkick to Roman Reigns. Well two superkicks! This was awesome and well worth checking out, setting up a tag team match for Money in the Bank, which should be interesting to say the least.

Overall Thoughts

I can’t believe the show. It was short and sweet, pushing very little in the way of wrestling, and doing a little more story telling at the end. My overall thought is to just catch the HULU version or youtube clips, because with so much under 3 minutes, it’s just stupid. I didn’t like this night of wrestling. With the exception of the Bloodline story.
