Review: Pretty good match but I don’t see Ziggler and Roode being a legit tag team to take the titles from the Profits and it’s just not really feud I’m really exciting to see for the tag division.
Kayla Braxton interviewed Daniel Bryan backstage. She asked Daniel about his match with Sami Zayn. He calls Sami delusional about him being the greatest IC Champion. He claimed he will break his delusions and become IC Champ once again.
As they came back from commercial, Kayla interviewed Rey Mysterio and the family including Murphy. Rey talked about how glad he is that his feud with Seth Rollins is over. He compliments Aliyah saying how mature she is now. He says that Murphy is no ones disciple now. King Corbin interrupted trashing them for being a happy family. He tells Rey that he couldn’t pass Dominik Mysterio onto other talent and accuses Murphy of only joining the Mysterio Family so that he can live off Mysterio’s name. Corbin walked off laughing.
Sami Zayn came out to the ring. Zayn trashed everyone on the mic for stuffing their faces in turkey for Thanksgiving. He says Daniel has done nothing to get a title shot and reminds everyone he has beaten Bryan at WrestleMania. He blames WWE management for trying to sabotage him until Daniel comes out for their match.

Jey Uso attacked Daniel Bryan backstage. Kevin Owens came to his aid and got Jey off of him. Jey left. Kevin Owens tells the officials to take care of Bryan while he goes after Jey.
Review: Good match. It’s the kind of match you would expect them to have. I don’t know if they’ll have Bryan continue to feud with Sami or rival with Uso now due to the attack but I guess we’ll see.
Kevin Owens confronted Jey Uso and Roman Reigns that he is sick of how he has been using his family around SmackDown. He tells Roman that he treats his family like garbage. Roman tells Jey that he needs make Kevin fear him.

Review: Good match. It looks like they are having Bianca feud with Bayley which I’m all good with. It will really help Bianca get the push she needs.

Corbin went on the mic calling Murphy and the Mysterio Family spineless cowards. He wants a rematch with Murphy next week and says he’ll be prepared.
Review: It was okay. I’m glad Murphy got the win and he is being featured a lot more with this storyline but the match was still just average.
Big E and Apollo Crews were playing around backstage until Sami Zayn wanted them to leave for his interview. He bragged about beating Apollo like he did Daniel Bryan. Big E tells Sami that his house is a house of cards that will easily crumble down. Sami calls him bitter and tells Big E his IC title reign was forgettable. Big E grips Sami’s hand for 10 seconds as Sami was screaming in pain.

Review: Good match. The ending to the match wasn’t too bad but it definitely got me excited for a Roman and Kevin Owens feud for the Universal title.
Overall Review: This wasn’t a perfect show by any means but they had its moments like the Sami/Big E segment and Kevin Owens possibly being the next challenger for Roman after the ending to the show. Other than that, everything was kind of average.
Grade: 5/10
