<h3><strong>A Victory on RUSEV DAYYYYY</strong></h3>
<p>It was a pleasant little surprise to see Rusev being Jinder’s tag team partner, and even more so when Rusev got the winning pin over Randy Orton. Yes, this was a tainted pin, resulting from Orton and Roode’s arguments, we know. But it was nice to see the Bulgarian Brute get a relatively big tag team victory, AND a shot at the United States Championship in 2 weeks! A good way to restart Jinder and Rusev’s partnership, if they choose to do so. To make things better, the win happened right on… RUSEV DAYYYYYYYYY.</p>

<h3><strong>Riott Squad Doused in Irish Flames</strong></h3>
<p>Yet another pretty decent but pointless women’s division match. Becky Lynch defeated Ruby Riott tonight, then proceeded to neutralize the remaining two members of the Riott Squad. A strong showing to build Becky Lynch (…for the Battle Royal?) at the hands of an already struggling stable. What a waste of talent and airtime.</p>

<h3><strong>It is Official</strong></h3>
<p>Daniel Bryan had officially announced Daniel/Shane vs Kevin/Sami for WrestleMania. The GOAT is back, and we could not be happier. His promo advanced his character by ditching the pacifist General Manager attitude (and his blazer) and returning to the fiery Daniel Bryan that would kick Zayn and Owens’ *sses come WrestleMania! The storyline has been good so far, and the match quality at ‘Mania is almost guaranteed to be exceptional. Yay!</p>

<h3><strong>The Chaos Continued</strong></h3>
<p>Bludgeon Brothers vs New Day ended in a DQ when The Usos appeared and caused calamity all over. We felt this segment was okay – in line with what had happened the past weeks, but nothing A+. And damn, Kofi was lucky to escape Harper’s mallet.</p>

<h3><strong>Flashy Show-off</strong></h3>
<p>Tyler Breeze and Dolph Ziggler have more similarities than we thought – good looks, flamboyant persona, and suffering a few rungs below where they really should belong on the pecking order. A quick victory for Dolph Ziggler was not surprising, and it built him up as a strong contender for the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, if winning it still means anything at all nowadays.</p>

<h3><strong>Styles Shook</strong></h3>
<p>Nakamura has finally shown some of his shining rock star attitude <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE1_d8EmMW8">from his NJPW days</a>. After handily defeating Shelton Benjamin, he seemed to jokingly call AJ to the ring, only to make his agenda clear: He would beat Styles at WrestleMania. And then when Styles fell victim to a 2-on-1 assault, Shinsuke came to the rescue and did <a href="https://twitter.com/WWE/status/978814420171157504">the ultimate fake out</a>, which scared Styles out of his wits. Although the build towards Nakamura vs Styles had been decent until this week, it was nowhere near as epic-looking as Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar on RAW. But finally, there is some hope that the pair will really kick it up a notch or two in the go-home show next week. There is some hope. Hope. Hope. We really need to keep that word in mind when watching WWE product these days… *sighs*</p>

<h3><strong>Overall Review:</strong></h3>
<p>It was an acceptable offering from the blue brand tonight, with a foreseen WrestleMania match being officially announced, another being added a fan-favorite wrestler, and the main championship feud finally got injected with some color, although one can argue it might have been a little too late. The main drawback of the show was the show itself. After tonight, we are only one Smackdown away from WrestleMania, yet the entire two hours of Smackdown seemed underwhelming. There were some highlights for sure, but by this time, we expect more. Let us hope the go-home show will not actually make us go home and not watch WrestleMania.</p>
<p>But even if you will not watch WrestleMania, you can be sure that we will. When the day comes, make sure to check our site for our reviews of the events!</p>
