Naomi was pretty over herself. The new entrance has done wonders for her popularity.

Weird, I thought this crowd was great. The only thing they were super dead for was Hawkins, and can you blame them?

I liked this SmackDown a lot, but good god they need to ditch Hawkins and give that gimmick back to Eva.

Hell, I go mad just trying to watch Raw.

I appreciate the honesty and the insight into the grading process.

Yeah, that must be it.

But he's had opportunities to perform, at No Mercy and in all his shitty promos.

Sadly Rowan is injured and out for a while. Reportedly that's why Harper is even on SmackDown, looks like he was originally going to Raw.

JBL can often be grating and obnoxious, but he sure as hell makes me laugh a lot.

Yeah, anyone complaining that this made Styles look weak is ignoring a) that he had Ellsworth beat two times that Ambrose didn't count, b) that he ate two Dirty Deeds, one of the most protected finishers in the company, c) that it was a fast count and d) that he is going to DESTROY Ellsworth next week.

HAHAHAHAHAHA this dude said wrestling looks gay! What a hilarious, unique and in no way homophobic observation!

I don't know where you get Harper turning on Bray from. Somewhere down the line maybe, but nothing here suggested any kind of friction or discord between them in the near future.

Personally, I thought this episode was great. Styles vs. Ellsworth was hilarious, despite that terrifying Styles Clash (please just have him take a Phenomenal Forearm next week). Ziggler vs. Spirit Squad gave us an all-time great Mauro call ("OH MY GOD HE KILLED KENNY!") and looks to be setting up a fun six-man tag…

The Vaudevillains (especially English) are pretty darn talented, both in the ring and on the mic. I honestly think they could still get over with their current gimmick if they were treated as credible threats. They were starting to get some decent heel heat before New Day beat them in six minutes at Extreme Rules.

It's been a problem for a while but I'll say it again, SmackDown doesn't have any credible heel teams aside from the Usos. Ascension and Vaudevillains have both been treated like jobbers, and while Breezeango at least looked good against American Alpha, they've been off TV for far too long to build off of that…

They're obviously saving Styles vs. Ellsworth for Mania 33.

But they only would have been doing fuck all because Raw books some of its best talents to do fuck all. That's the problem.

Bryan made sure to note on Talking Smack that unlike Mick and Steph, they don't need to be on every show.

I was soooooo against Ziggler getting another shot at the IC Title, and now I'm super excited for it. Meanwhile Raw is somehow finding ways to make fresh feuds like Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens not very compelling.

Those Wyatt/Orton segments were goofy as all hell and I loved it. I laughed out loud when Randy opened the door to a cut-out of himself.
