WWE Smackdown 6/2/23 Results and Review

Another week, another Smackdown goes down in history, and it looked like a sold out crowd to me. This week’s show had some highlights, and some low lights as well, and here is what I thought about the ongoing stories.

Austin Theory and Pretty Deadly defeated The Brawling Brutes in a six man tag match

This was a lot of fun, with a great deal of back and forth, as well as trio moves. The crowd was into it, and were even chanting Sheamus at one point. I was impressed with how much fun this was overall. Lots of back and forth, lots of reversals, and some great finishing moments. Austin Theory impresses and Pretty Deadly is also great, I loved the Brutes too, good stuff, great opener if you ask me.

The OC defeated Hit Row in a tag match

Under 3 minutes is all you get from this, and honestly, it wasn’t that good. Yeah, it had the OC and had AJ styles out there, and there was a few good moves, but without a longer showing, I just got bored. I don’t know why they have such boring, short matches sometimes, but I guess that’s WWE for you.

Zelina Vega defeated Lacey Evans in a money in the bank qualifying match

This wasn’t great. Less than 3 minutes, and mostly a beat down on Vega before her comeback and the victory. I love Evans, but she is not getting much of a push anymore. Before this, I was the Grayson Waller show, which I hated.

La Knight defeated Montez Ford in a money in the bank qualifying match

This was a fun match, with some good back and forth between the two. La Knight got a lot of reaction, and Ford also got that too. The crowd was definitely torn, split down the middle in terms of reaction. It was a good match, and even though it was under 10 minutes, La Knight goes over. Good match.

The Bloodline Explodes

After the matches, we had a Bloodline story explosion. It featured Solo hitting Jimmy with a spike, and that’s it. Roman doesn’t accept the Usos now. The show ended there, I went to bed.

Overall Thoughts

Ok, so this was a par for the course type of show. It was ok at best, and it pushed the Bloodline story a little. The matches were ok, with only a couple being really worth checking out, which is the opener and the men’s qualifying match. Other than that, this show was a bit on the boring side. I just didn’t really get into it.
