My unbiased review of the belt exchange:

It was a belt exchange. It was very belt exchangey. Would not recommend.

On a serious note, we are back to 2016 levels of anyone who isn't part of the horsewomen not mattering.

SmackDown

Uncofirmed reports this may have been a wrestling show. Not sure

Roman talked for 15 minutes about beating everyone and telling Lesnar to come out to the ring
Commercial break
Roman still in the ring talking

quote:

Lesnar's music hit to a big reaction.

Lesnar jumped in the ring and avoided Reigns with the belt. Lesnar sent Reigns to the floor, and they briefly brawled. Lesnar took over and tossed Reigns into the steps. Lensar and Heyman had a brief staredown.

Lesnar rocked Reigns with the steps and cleared the announce table. Lesnar set up for the F-5 through the table, but The Usos and referees ran out. Lesnar beat down The Usos but Reigns recovered. Lesnar pushed Reigns into the ring post to regain control. He grabbed the camera from the cameraman and threw it at Reigns. Reigns avoided, and Lesnar snapped. He attacked the referees and officials, so Adam Pearce sent down a bunch of wrestlers to stop him.

Lesnar beat down Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo. However, Cesaro, Rick Boogs, and Ivar convinced Lesnar to stop. Lensar jumped in the ring and posed with the Universal title to end the segment.
Adam Pearce makes a huge mistake

The coronation of King Xavier Woods

They promoted the upcoming debut of Xia Li.
Mansoor defeated Mustafa Ali (2:36)

Hit Row's entrance
https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/qduuqg/smackdown_spoilers_hit_rows_entrance/
Hit Row defeated Local Jobbers (1:17)

quote:

In the back, Kayla Braxton interviewed Sonya Deville. She noted Adam Pearce isn't doing good after Brock Lesnar attacked him earlier. Deville noted Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair exchange belts later, which could get out of control.

Happy Corbin defeated Shinsuke Nakamura (9:18)

quote:

Nakamura ran wild and hit a knee in the corner for a two-count. Corbin avoided the Kinshasa and slammed Nakamura face-first for a near fall. Boogs played his guitar, and Nakamura fired up again. Nakamura went for the Kinshasa, but Moss grabbed Boogs' guitar to cause a distraction.

Nakamura went after Boogs, but Corbin took advantage and hit the End of Days for the win.

quote:

Neither woman seems particularly in a hurry to hand her title over, but after a long beat Flair takes her title off.

Lynch tries to yank it out of her hands but Charlotte drops it, leading Sonya to pick it up and try to exchange it. Becky throws the SmackDown title at her, Flair picks it up and holds it high before saying if she wants to be Becky Two Belts so bad, why not winner takes all tonight?

Enter Sasha Banks.

She says she runs the blue brand and Flair mocks her for feeling left out.

Lynch says she’s gonna go to Raw and let them figure it out and she’ll see one of them for Survivor Series.

Becky asks Charlotte if she’s jealous, and title or no title, she’s the Boss around here. Flair mocks her some more, a brawl breaks out, Charlotte blocks the lungblower and runs away! Sasha with Meteora off the apron, Sonya Deville breaks it up!

I think the rough estimate is 19 minutes of wrestling matches

Kinda weird how when Becky won the smackdown title so many reviewers called it "gettng her title back" when she was actually raw champ. I guess in a roundabout way that was true, just a casual swap.

Wrestling is about telling a story and in any story there’s a good guy and bad guy. In wrestling, the good guy is a “face” and bad guy is a “heel”. 95%of the time the heel will usually win their match by means of cheating, or something atrocious! That’s the point! We get sooo caught up that we forget that apart of wrestling is telling a story!!!! And most stories never go the way we want! Understand that these are professionals doing their job to convey the stories being written, whether they are lovely or not!

We also forget that it’s a business and baby money is money! Please remember that the Brock Lesnar/Roman Reigns story is one that has been being told for yearssss!!! Roman decided that I truly have issues beating you cleanly, so he kept his family in his back pocket as a means to win against an opponent he could barely beat cleanly as a good guy. So if you ask me, great ending! Paul still needs to be addressed but this is one of the best stories I have seen in sports entertainment in a good while. Even my boy Xavier Woods winning King of The Ring - he’s beyond deserving but this man is running up WWE’s YouTube views with his gaming channel. Again, money is money!

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Woods's coronation looked fun. So that was nice.

I am assuming that this was the carrot they are dangling in front of him, so he will stay and WWE can keep their cut of the sweet UUDD Merch money, (would that be a lot, or no? I seriously don't know.)

I'll say it, the KotR coronation segment was boring and way too long. I don't care how badly Xavier wanted to be KotR or how cool he is. Give me more matches. The best women's division in the world had 0 matches tonight.

Considering this got posted 11 minutes after the end of the TV show he appeared on today, I would assume it had to do with the excellent match he had with another wrestler who was unhappy with his treatment in WWF, and an exciting post-match angle with a third wrestler who the company fired

Plus they had all the new talent from the draft and could have done some segments to get them into the mix but instead did 2 rematches.
