So about SmackDown - 4th October 2019
Here is my Twitter thread discussing last night’s SmackDown on FOX.
Here is my review of #SmackDown from last night

A thread!
Rock/Becky teaming up on Corbin was quite funny and a nice way to open the show. Even with Corbin winning KOTR, the people really don't care about who won. Only him.

Charlotte & Becky vs Sasha & Bayley
— SquaredCircle.ie in a Cell with Dynamite 🇮🇪 (@SquaredCircleIE) October 5, 2019
This was an ok match where they all got their offense in but this was to ultimately set up Charlotte vs Bayley on Sunday for the SD Women's Championship. It was alright.
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Seth Rollins

This was cut very short cause of The Fiend Bray Wyatt to further this feud for Sunday.
Shinsuke is the real loser of this as he (and the title) has fallen in obscurity as of late. Hopefully, it can have some resurgence after the WWE Draft.
Kevin Owens vs Shane McMahon

This was a good way to write Shane out of TV. We know that Kevin was going to win, but knowing WWE, he could be fired for about a week before coming back as some Authority figurehead working for Vince, but who knows.
The 8-man tag was forgettable as it only served to start some sort of feud between Braun Strowman and Tyson Fury. (What about Bobby Lashley or Rusev or some other big man in WWE? Why a boxer?)

Roman Reigns vs Erick Rowan in a Lumberjack Match.
— SquaredCircle.ie in a Cell with Dynamite 🇮🇪 (@SquaredCircleIE) October 5, 2019
It's nice to have a lumberjack match as it gives opportunity for someone to beat the crap out of Roman when he was on the outside. Nice for Dbry to come in and save Roman towards the end as Luke Harper interfered and
it set up the tag match between Daniel Bryan & Roman Reigns vs Erick Rowan & Luke Harper for HIAC.

That should be a fun match to watch on Sunday.
Kofi Kingston got murdered by Brock Lesnar within 10 seconds to become the NEW WWE Champion.

It wouldn't be the end of the show as Rey Mysterio came out. We thought at first it was Dominick beside him but no, it was UFC's very own Cain Velasquez would come out and beat up Brock
Brock would retreat with the new title but hesitated in engaging with Cain again.

My thoughts: This was a 'OK' debut for SmackDown on FOX, but I am very disappointed that WWE would resort to using the Universal Champion and RAW Women's Champion to carry the show!
— SquaredCircle.ie in a Cell with Dynamite 🇮🇪 (@SquaredCircleIE) October 5, 2019
Why wasn't Shinsuke used in a proper match?
Where was the tag champs, The Revival?
Perhaps WWE is playing it very safe to impress the FOX bosses, but it shouldn't be all rosy if you are missing some of the SMACKDOWN champions

205 Live was cancelled last night after a "last-minute decision" but it would appear on the WWE website, that the title has been renamed to:

"NXT Cruiserweight Championship" and the picture for Drew Gulak has been moved into the "NXT Champions" section.
