WWE Smackdown 6/9/23 Results and Review

I watched this show in two different sit downs. The reason why is because the show was a little boring for my tastes. It was so boring that even my girlfriend was wondering why we were watching. We would see the whole thing, but I’m reviewing it on Monday afternoon instead of another time. That being said, I will be reviewing the wrestling only.

Santos Escobar defeated Mustafa Ali

This was a good overall match with Escobar getting the upper hand in the end. Mustafa Ali has to be happy with getting so much work these days. He’s on NXT and Smackdown these days. He put in some good moments, mind you, but Escobar escaped to get a spot in the Money in the Bank match that is coming up in the near future.

Bayley defeated Michin

Under 3 minutes, nothing too much to write home about to be honest. I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t like it much. Bayley and Michin deserve a lot more than what they are given.

Butch defeated Baron Corbin

This was under 2 minutes again, and well it was nothing write home about overall. Butch wins, Corbin loses another match, and well that was that.

Iyo Sky defeated Shotzi

Guess what! Another under 3 minutes and well it wasn’t that grand. This was a bad match with a bit of back and forth, and well, nothing to write home about with such a little amount going on overall.

Austin Theory defeated Jey Uso in the United States title match

This was a good back and forth match, and Theory was looking like he was going to go down for a change. A ref bump caused Solo Sikoa to jump in but he was thwarted, and then Jimmy kicked Jey on accident, and Theory was able to jump in and pin Jey. This was some compelling work, and it was fun to see, a great thing.

Overall Thoughts

This was not great overall. It had a couple of good moments, the opening and closing matches were good, but other than that, this was a slow moving vessel of a show. It was tired. Oh, Charlotte came back, and AJ Styles got a face full of mist in another segment, not bad.
