WWE Friday Night Smackdown 6/11/2021
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/wwe-friday-night-smackdown-642021.html
We run down the stuff with Roman and his cousins from last week. Roman is not pleased with Jey. He says he saved Jey last week and they owe him. Roman says he won't stand for people embarassing the family and he says he is glad Jey gets it, but hope Jimmy does too.
Jimmy Uso comes down and is hyped. He says he was screwed last week twice and said Roman stuck his nose in their business. He says Roman had to make it about him and says Roman got him DQ'd on purpose. Jimmy calls Roman jealous, saying Roman doesn't want Jimmy teaming with Jey and doesn't want them holding gold. Jimmy says Roman is trying to tear Jey away from him and he says he is his brother's keeper, not him. He promises to do something he won't regret. Roman and Jey are watching in the back. Roman says Jimmy isn't his brother and says Jey needs to take care of this.
Jimmy and Jey talk in the back. Jimmy asks if he thought they could have won the titles and Jey nods yes. Jimmy says it can't be like this no more. He says he needs Jey to go with him when he asks. Jimmy says Roman is disgracing the family. Jey asks Jimmy what he wants him to do. He says he is stuck in the middle of this and asks him what to do. Jimmy says if Roman want sto see him, he will be in the Uso's locker room.
Kevin Owens and Big E vs Sami Zayn and Apollo Crews with Commander Azeez
We're in month six of this Crews/E feud. Crews and KO go at it to start then KO goes out and pounds on Zayn. Zayn is thrown into the rail and KO goes after him again outside. KO comes back in and the heels catch him and take back over. KO rolls into a hot tag to E. E hits some belly to belly's on Crews but Crews puts his knees up on a splash. E then comes back with a urangae.
Crews straightjacket germans E for 2. E goes for his spear through the ropes but Crews moves and he goes down to the ground. We go to break and return to Sami pounding on E. The heels then take control on E and Crews does a nice jumping elbow.
Crews misses a 2nd rope frogsplash crossbody then E hot tags to Owens. Owens hammers Sami. He then cannonballs him off the apron and sentons him on the floor. Owens then swantons Sami from the top for 2. Crews runs into a KO superkick then takes a pop-up powerbomb for 2. Zayn gets in and hits a half and half suplex on Owens for 2. He then blue thunders him for 2. E lariats Crews over th etop and lands on him hard. KO stunners Sami and wins it. This wasn't bad at all with a lot of action all the way through.
Crews gets on the mic after and said he lost due to being put with an idiot named Sami Zayn. He challenges Owens and E to fight him and Azeez next week. Sami gets the mic and is mad at Crews for calling him an idiot. He says Crews set him up and is working with Owens. He wants an apology and takes a nigerian nail from Azeez to put him down.
Rey is yelling at Pearce in the back about something but we can't hear it.
The Street Profits and Chad Gable talk in the back. Chad apologizes for what Otis did to them last week. He said he got their tag match for tonight cancelled for them. Ford says Chad can't control Otis, but they can and said they will send Otis back to the jurassic period if he acts up again. Chad then challenges one of them to a singles match and Ford accepts. Chad said he won't have Otis out at irngside if they won't have Dawkins out and he says Otis is still angry.
Jey and Roman talk in the back. Jey tells Roman that if he wants to see Jimmy, to go to their locker room. Roman laughs and asks if it's Roman's cousins locker room or the Uso's locker room. Roman says to tell Jey, he is coming to him.
Liv Morgan vs Carmella
They are pushing Carmella as "The Most Beautiful Woman in WWE", which I don't think anyone buys. I would go with Bliss, maybe. Ugliest would be Ember. Liv jumps on Carmella to start and flurries her. Carmella throws Liv hard into the rails and asks Michael to tell people how beautiful she is. Cole repeats the line of her supposedly being the most beautiful woman in wWE and says "self-proclaimed".
Carmella hits a bunch of back elbows. Liv comes back with her move where she pushes Carmella in the back with her legs into the middle buckle. One of the fans on the screens has a small Liv sign which I was amused by. Carmella slaps around Liv hard then Liv hits the "oblivion" and wins it. That move is where the opponent is near the ropes and Liv does a jumping flatliner off the 2nd rope to win.
This wasn't bad at all with Carmella really being aggressive. Liv out of nowhere winning was odd though. Carmella makes the announcer say she is still the most beautiful woman in WWE.
Bayley comes through her door. She says she upgraded and has tons of pictures of herself. She brings out Seth Rollins. Seth puts Bayley over. We see clips of Bayley laughing on the tron at Bianca last week then they both start laughing. They show clips of Seth beating up Cesaro then they start laughing again. Man, this episode has tons of clips.
Bayley's doorbell rings and neither knows who is there. Seth opens the door and Cesaro nails him then pounds on him. Seth's suit is ripped and his pants are taken off, then he gets thrown through the door. Seth gets thrown out then Cesaro throws a photo and a plant in his direction. This wasn't bad and I always get a kick out of stuff being thrown.
Bianca Belair then comes out. She then starts laughing and leaves without anything else.
We see clips of the Mysterio's and Uso's from last week. Rey is interviewed. He says Roman hurt his boy. He said watching Dom get beat up was the worst kind of torture and said he failed to protect Dom. Rey says he will call out Roman later and says he will show him what a family is supposed to look like. He also mentioned how Roman can destroy his own family, but not Rey's family. Good promo here.
Montez Ford vs Chad Gable
Neither guy has their partner here. Chad takes down Ford early then Ford does the same. Chad does a nice kip up into a tiger mask like takedown combo. Dawkins is shown watching the tv in the back and is apparently blind as he is less than 5 inches away from a big monitor.
They trade more armdrags and Ford does a nice roll-up with his feet. Ford leapfrogs and is brought down with an ankle lock. Ford rolls back into a pin attempt for 2. Ford then flips onto Chad off the apron.
We go to break and return with Chad backdropping Ford. Ford tries a slingshot move but is caught with a nice northern lights suplex. They collide in mid-air with crossbodies. Dawkins cheers Ford in the back then is attacked by a clean shaven Otis. Otis throws him into the walls and boxes and looks worse without the beard.
Ford and Chad trade punches then Chad is spinebustered. Ford then standing moonsaults him for 2. Ford hits a frogsplash for 2 then Otis comes in and attacks Ford for the DQ. Ford is thrown out and into the steps. Otis then power slams him and splashes him from the 2nd rope. Dawkins comes out but is thrown back out of the ring then Otis vader bomb's Ford.
Shinsuke Nakamura with Rick Boogz vs King Corbin
Boogz plays guitar and distracts Corbin. Corb gets beat up in the corner by Nak then takes a flying kick from the 2nd rope. Nak charges at him and gets a deep six for 2. The crown they are fighting for is at the announcer's table and Cobin pounds on Nak from behind.
Corbin hits a high german suplex. Corbin stands over top Nak and is rolled up for the quick win. Corbin then nails him after. Him and Boogz charge at each other and Boogz is thrown into the table. Nak grabs the crown then Boogz throws Corbin over the announcer's table. Nakamura and Boogz were awful faces here with distractions and by stealing his crown.
Jey and Roman talked in the back. Roman said he wanted to go to Jey's locker room now.
Corbin, Pearce and Sonya talk in the back. Corbin demands Pearce have Nak give him his crown back. Sonya and Pearce laugh about it. Sonya says they should have a match with the crown on the line called "The Battle of the Crown". Corbin stares at him with anger after. Corbin should just call the police. The crime was committed on film and he can maybe even get Nakamura thrown in jail.
Jey, Jimmy and Roman talk and Roman tells Heyman to leave. Roman points to his title and asks if Jimmy understands. Jimmy says he doesn't, he cares about what is in the heart. Jimmy says Roman has been pulling this BS for years by abusing them. Jimmy says he doesn't want to take Roman's place. He said Roman will be inducted into the HoF someday, but not as Roman Reigns, but as the "spoiled b*tch".
Both men pitch their case to Jey in the middle. He says enough and says he is tired of both. He says he is out and leaves. Jimmy tells Roman if he wants to fight, let's do it. Roman doesn't get why Jimmy wants to fight him and asks what he had done. Roman asks Jimmy why he would do this to his brother. He says he should be able to depend on Jimmy and says this is about all of us. Roman says Jimmy is the older brother and questions why he is treating his brother like this.
Rey Mysterio comes out and calls out Roman. Roman and Heyman come out. Rey says he acknowledges Roman but as a rat b@stard. He challenges him to Hell in a Cell. Roman says he acknowledges him as a father then Rey starts hitting Roman with a kendo stick. Roman throws him out then hits him with a superman punch as he comes back in. Dom then comes in and hits Roman with the kendo stick. Dom is then put in the powerbomb position and thrown out of the ring, but they don't show him landing. Rey then hits Roman with a kendo stick and gets nailed. The Mysterio's lay to close the show. There were some complaints here about Rey being a bad babyface here, but since Dom did get beat up bad by Roman, Roman did have it coming. I don't think it makes Rey look good though that he had a 2v1 with weapons and still got beat. That's bad booking.
Overall thoughts: I liked the show. I didn't have any problems here except for the endless repeat rematches and the Corbin stuff.
