WWE Friday Night Smackdown 5/28/2021
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/wwe-friday-night-smackdown-5212021.html
The Uso's are talking in the back and Jimmy is ready to go for their match tonight. Roman and Heyman walk in. Roman wants to know what is Jimmy's end game. Jimmy said he wants the gold and wants the whole family to have gold. Roman isn't very excited and wishes they good luck, then tells Jey they will need good luck. Roman asks Jey if Jimmy is talking for him now. Jey confirms to Roman that he is with him even though he is teaming with Jimmy tonight and Roman says he should tell Jimmy that.
The Street Profits come out to talk. Ford says tonight is the clash of the titans with them vs the Uso's. They mock the Uso's old entrance with the haka and facepaint. Ford says Roman lives in Jey's head rent free. The Uso's then come out.
Jimmy says the best tag team in the world is back. Jey threatens Ford if he talks bad about Roman any more. Jey says this isn't a dream match but a nightmare and Jimmy says this will put them one step closer to becoming champs for the 7th time. Jey and Jimmy then tell them "welcome to the Uso penitentiary" and the match is up next.
The Uso's vs The Street Profits
Dawkings backdrops Ford onto Jimmy. Ford cartwheels and backflips into an armdrag on Jey in the corner then yells "USO" at Jimmy. Jey then gets backdropped for 2. Dawkins drops down then Ford hits Jimmy with a dropkick. Dawkins then hits a nice dropkick on Jey and they clothesline both over the top. Jey then gets thrown into the time keeper's area and Jey is thrown over the announcer's desk.
We go to break and return. Jey trips Ford then throws him into the rails. Roman and Heyman are seen watching from the back. Jey does a sliding chinlock to Ford. Ford fights off both and hits Jimmy with two enzugiri's. Ford goes for the tag but Jey pulls Dawkins off the apron. Jimmy then pop-up samoan drops Ford as we go to break.
Back from break and they double lariat each other soon after. Dawkins makes a come back on Jimmy. Ford then does an insane flip dive over the post onto Jey on the outside. Jimmy hits Dawkins with a big superkick for 2. Dawkins hits a double underhook twisting neckbreaker for 2 then spinebusters him. Ford misses a big frogsplash from the topas Jey saves Jimmy. Dawkins then comes off the steps and shoulders Jey. Jimmy then superkicks Ford for the win.
This ended up being a pretty good match as it went on. The Uso's winning was the right call here though I don't know if The Street Profits losing was the right call. Ford's dive was insane and the hightlight. This went over 15 minutes.
Megan Morant interviews Roode and Ziggler. Roode has the oddest ears. You really have to see them. Roode promises that tonight will be different than Backlash and Ziggler says they will win the titles back.
Natalya and Tamina vs The Riott Squad
We are joined in progress on this after a break. Liv hits a hard back shoulder to Natalya and the Squad does a messy double team move that looked like crap. Ruby uses her legs to ram Nat's head into the buckles.
Natalaya tries to double sharpshooter both opponents but can't. Tamina nails Ruby in the back hard and then she falls hard forward and land shard on the bottom rope on her throat. Tamina blocks a top rope armdrag from Ruby and headbutts her. Liv hits a side codebreaker on Nat on the floor that probably hurt her more than Nat. Tamina then hit a superfly splash on Riot for the win. As usual, this had the trademark diva's sloppiness and this was a short one.
Pearce and The Uso's talk in the back. Jimmy says he wants the winner of the tag title match tonight and Pearce agrees. Jey doesn't look happy as Jimmy leaves.
Camella is interviewed. She brags about some of her accomplishments and says while Bianca's career might be a fairly tale, she will end her haipply ever after.
Carmella vs Bianca Belair
Bayley jumps over the rail with a mic and then sits at the commentary desk. Bianca hits some corner spears and then has her throat bounced off the ropes. Carmella hits a big satellite headscissors and swings out Bianca. Carmella charges at her outside but is shouldered down.
Bayley calls Bianca a cheat then Bianca gorilla presses Carmella into the ring. Carmella comes back through with a facebuster on the apron. Bianca hits a real nice backbreaker then knocks her down with a shoulder tackle. Carmella crossbodies Bianca but she rolls through then fallaway slams her. She does her handspring int othe ropes and moonsaults onto Carmella for 2. I think something broke on Carmella's bra right before she headscissor chokes Bianca over the ropes. she then slaps Bianca and pounds on her.
Carmella superkicks her in the head for 2 as she hangs off the apron. Bianca hits a kiss of death for the win. Bayley gets mad and jumps on the announcer's desk then starts laughing at her. Bianca looked pretty good here hitting all of her offense.
The Mysterio's are interviewed. Dom says when one of them hurt the other hurts too. They said winning the tag titles was euphoria and nobody can top them.
Owens rushes AC then cannonballs him in the corner. Owens then swantons him off the top for 2. Owens hits a stunner and Azeez nails him on the pin attempt for the quick DQ. This barely went 2-3 minutes before the interference. Owens gets checked on after.
Heyman brings Jey to Roman in the back. Roman isn't happy about not being told about all this. Roman says that as soon as Jimmy comes back, Jey got relegated to the opening match. Roman says he doesn't want Jimmy to go back to where people have to ask "which one are you, again?". Jey said he hadn't thought about it like that and Roman said maybe he should.
Rick Boogs is playing guitar. He says he has come to rock with Shinsuke Nakamura. He then does his intro for him.
Chad Gable vs Shinsuke Nakamura
Otis powerslams Nak before the bell rings. Gable hits some belly to belly suplexes for 2. chad armbars Nak over the ropes and armthrows him into the buckles. He goes for the moonsault but Nak moves and spin kicks him.
Gable goes for chaos theory but Nak escapes it and flying kicks him for the quick win. Corbin then takes his crown back and says the crown belongs to him. Boogs then nails Corbin from behind and Nak gets the crown back.
Owens is seen coughing in the back. He begs Pearce for another match with Crews. Pearce agrees and says they will fight for the IC title with Azeez banned from ringside.
Rey is praying in the back and Dom says something to him.
We go to break and return and Rey is down and in pain.
Smackdown Tag Team Championship - Rey Mysterio and Dominic Mysterio (c) vs Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler
Roode and Dolph get on the mic. They say this should be a forfeit if Rey can't compete. We see Dom in the back with Pearce and refs and he said Rey stepped up for him at Backlash(when Rey worked most of the match 1v2), and he will step up for him here.
The match starts 1v2. Dom gets dropkicked by Dolph. Dom gets beat down early and tries to make a tag but Rey isn't there. Dolph is wearing an odd USA colored braid in his hair. Dom comes back with some punches and puts both guys on the floor. He then plancha's both.
Dom goes for the 619 but Roode leg sweeps him. DZ evades a 2nd 619 attempt and hits a fameasser for 2. The heels double hiptoss Dom into a neckbreaker/powerbomb combo. Rey finally comes out and the heels get distracted. Dom rolls up Roode for the win. The heels looked like goofs here for not being able to win the 2v1 and being beat so easy. This was a waste of everyone here and a copy of the Backlash match.
The Uso's come right out and they face off with the Mysterio's as Roman watches.
Overall thoughts: Not a great edition of SD as there were tons of short matches with bad finishes and the main was not what we were promised.
