Why Becky Lynch Is THE BEST Thing On Smackdown! by Luke Owen

Becky Lynch is the best thing on Smackdown Live! R-Truth is in the main event! And The Miz and Maryse go out for Italian food.

Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella Challenge Miz & Maryse

The show opened with Daniel Bryan and BRIIIIIIEEEE MOOOOOODE, who wanted to call out Miz & Maryse for a fight tonight rather than wait until Hell in a Cell. Renee Young showed Bryan and Brie a WWE.com video which showed The It Couple challenging them to a fight before any of the fans even entered the building. Although going by how much WWE tarp off Smackdown attendance it was hard to tell which one was supposed to be the empty arena. Renee Young then told them that Miz & Maryse were no longer there, which brought out Andrade “Cien” Almas to challenge Bryan to a rematch from last week.

This led to a terrific match between the two, which Bryan won with the running knee after countering the Hammerlock DDT. This was full of great spots and helped elevate Almas in defeat. After the match, Miz & Maryse appeared on the big screen to tell them that rather than show up for work, they’ve gone out for a nice Italian meal. Bryan and Brie were shown leaving the arena, saying they also fancied some Italian food.

Becky Lynch RULES

After showing clips of Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair’s feud, we got sit down interviews with both of them in separate locations. This was a fantastic segment, and although Flair was slightly wooden early on, Lynch came off like a total star with killer lines and fantastic delivery. This was clearly scripted, but Lynch made is sound real and genuine. You buy into her words because she, as an actor, clearly believes what she’s saying. This is the first thing I’ve seen of their feud since before Summerslam and I’m already so invested in their Hell in a Cell match – and that is 100% down to how awesome Becky Lynch is.

Naomi pinned Peyton Royce in a very quick match and was then saved from a 2-on-1 beatdown by a returning Asuka. You can turn off the Tamina Light now, turns out Asuka is here.
