<h2><strong>Becky ‘The Man’ Lynch Is Back</strong></h2>

<p>Finally we had a silver lining to all the injury related news that we have been receiving of late. Becky is back and she will compete at TLC. Her opponent was the heart of the matter of this opening segment.</p>
<p>Charlotte came out and whatever good-will was there between the two seems to have disappeared and the two seem to be at each other’s throats again. Lynch tried to get Charlotte to admit that she did whatever she did only because Charlotte channeled Lynch which The Queen did not take to too kindly. They almost got into blows but Paige stopped them and set the title match up for TLC which should be another great edition in the feud.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[adace-ad id=&#8221;7797&#8243;]</p>
<p>A little drama was added as first the heels and then the faces of the women’s division came out and wanted to know why they weren’t getting a title shot. This resulted in the title match being turned into a triple threat with the third person being determined by a Battle Royal in the main event.</p>
<p>As much as we hate battle royals and mindless triple threats, this could actually be fun. A great start to SmackDown and boy does it feel good to have Lynch back.</p>

<h2><strong>The Usos Beat the Bar After Big Show Refuses to Help</strong></h2>
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="vcjKgRfDaig"><iframe loading="lazy" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vcjKgRfDaig?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>The whole sham with the Bar winning the tag championships with Big Show’s help still angers us but this is plain ridiculous. Apparently the Big Show no longer wants to help the Bar and even knocked out Cesaro backstage. The Usos then proceeded to beat the Bar in a non-title match.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[adace-ad id=&#8221;7795&#8243;]</p>
<p>It is unclear where WWE is heading with all this but it is the bad kind of uncertainty that leads people to lose their interest in the whole angle. This is a silly direction WWE is taking with an already fragile tag division. We are sure whatever Big Show’s motivations are behind his actions are equally absurd.</p>
<p>The match itself was pretty good but the lack of a clear and exciting direction makes this all pointless and a rehash of things we have seen a million times before. When are the Bludgeon Brothers coming back?</p>
<p><strong>Winners: </strong>The Usos</p>

<h2><strong>AJ Styles Gets No Response From Daniel Bryan</strong></h2>
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="gxw7gmv3B8c"><iframe loading="lazy" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gxw7gmv3B8c?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>We get an explanation for why Styles wasn’t present the last few weeks. He wasn’t cleared medically. Ironically, Bryan wasn’t present tonight and Styles asked him to be there at TLC.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[adace-ad id=&#8221;7792&#8243;]</p>
<p>There are mixed feelings about this match as this will produce a lot of classic matches but this is a style of wrestling that we have seen so many times before. It also has the tendency of being treated as the second most important feud in WWE with whatever happening in RAW taking precedence.</p>
<p>Having said that, if two wrestlers can be expected to deliver each time then it has to be Bryan and Styles. Styles&#8217; current promos have become repetitive as we have been hearing the same thing since his feud with Nakamura. A little change could do wonders for him.</p>

<h2><strong>Nakamura Uses Unfair Means Against Rusev</strong></h2>
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="ElhrhLMWK44"><iframe loading="lazy" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ElhrhLMWK44?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>Nakamura and Rusev were supposed to have a match for the US title but the match ended before it even started as Nakamura attacked Rusev before the bell and rendered him too hurt to fight. This perfectly encapsulates everything that is wrong with the US title picture right now. Just put the belt on Rusev and bring back the glory days.</p>
<p><strong>Winner: </strong>No Contest</p>

<h2><strong>Jeff Hardy Completes 20 Years In Pro-Wrestling</strong></h2>

<p>This was a heart-warming segment that was just so nostalgic and would have brought a smile on every wrestling fan’s face. The video package showed all the bumps and high-flying moves this man has executed and it is a surprise that he is still alive let alone be wrestling when all his contemporaries like Matt Hardy, Edge and Christian are all retired.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[adace-ad id=&#8221;7795&#8243;]</p>
<p>This of-course like every WWE celebration had to be interrupted and Samoa Joe did the despicable act. Often these celebratory episodes forget the downs of the superstars but Joe reminded everyone of Jeff’s substance abuse problems which was brave of WWE. Jeff took that as an excuse to start a delete chant.</p>
<p>This signals a feud between Samoa Joe and Jeff Hardy and it should be great. Finally WWE is bringing a feud that we can all invest in.</p>

<h2><strong>The Miz Loses Again Without His Best Friend</strong></h2>

<p>This was another step in the direction of Miz’s face turn and a feud with Shane McMahon which should be great as this is something fresh and could actually benefit the Miz.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[adace-ad id=&#8221;7792&#8243;]</p>
<p>Miz took on Kofi Kingston here and did try to use his heel tactics more than one like exposing the turnbuckle or using a chair but was foiled each time by a member of the New Day. This highlighted the absence of Shane McMahon in his corner.</p>
<p>This is what we are missing in most of the feuds in WWE – a slow build-up and a nice backstory. This will obviously lead to McMahon abandoning the Miz in a more significant manner at some point leading to a feud.</p>
<p>After all, it seems like some good might actually come out of the World Cup. The New Day were entertaining like always.</p>

<h2><strong>The Orton And Mysterio Feud Gains Traction</strong></h2>
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="noIn3zfqCxI"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Randy Orton attacks an injured Rey Mysterio: SmackDown LIVE, Nov. 27, 2018" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/noIn3zfqCxI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>This one seemed to be floundering not too long ago but somehow the feud has started to click. The incredible athleticism of the two men involved has a big part in all this. Mysterio’s mask being the point of contention has been done to death before but somehow it all felt right tonight.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[adace-ad id=&#8221;7797&#8243;]</p>
<p>Orton again got the last laugh as he brutally sent Rey Mysterio’s neck crashing on the edge of a chair. This feud could add depth to a depleted program and could be a great way to have these veterans do something interesting.</p>
<p>We will reserve our judgment on this feud for the first full-fledged match but until then if WWE keeps putting up engaging segments like this then we will not be complaining.</p>

<h2><strong>Asuka It Is For The Championship Match</strong></h2>
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="JZ_wx0Yxr8c"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Women&#039;s Battle Royal - Winner joins SmackDown Women&#039;s Title TLC Match: SmackDown LIVE, Nov. 27, 2018" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JZ_wx0Yxr8c?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>We all knew that Asuka was the only one here who deserved to be in the title picture. It would have been disappointing to see another Carmella–like push but WWE thankfully didn’t disappoint. The Battle Royal was also incredibly entertaining.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[adace-ad id=&#8221;4959&#8243;]</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">[adace-ad id=&#8221;7795&#8243;]</p>
<p>This was possibly down to much fewer wrestlers being in the match as opposed to the entire roster crowding the ring making it impossible to follow the action. The highlights were the way the IIconics were eliminated as well as Lana getting a beating at the hands of Zelina Vega.</p>
<p>The ending was also done masterfully as Sonya Deville and Asuka battled on the apron and it showcased how everything literally stood on the balance. There were moments you felt that Deville might triumph but Asuka pulled it off. This spices up the match at TLC. A nice way to end the show.</p>
<p><strong>Winner: </strong>Asuka</p>

<p><strong>Overall Review: </strong>This was another solid showing from the blue brand. Quite a few feuds got massive momentum including the Orton Mysterio feud. Jeff Hardy’s tribute was a feel good moment and his impending feud with Joe is exciting.</p>
<p>Bryan wasn’t missed that much but the show was all about Becky’s return and the triple threat at TLC. This is so much better than the women’s division on RAW. We just hope that the SmackDown matches get to headline TLC for a change as they all seem to be much better than the car being pedaled by RAW.</p>
<p><strong>Overall Rating: </strong>Thumbs Up <i class="fa fa-thumbs-up" style="font-size: 30px; color: lime;"></i></p>
