Sean Ross Sapp's Delayed Smackdown Notes (Patreon)

Hey guys! Finally watching Smackdown, so dropping some notes.

- Jimmy Uso loses again, which will happen.

- I could find worse ways to spend the first 42 minutes of the show than watching Rollins, Cesaro, Bryan and Uso.

- The Apollo Crews gimmick still stinks.

- Kevin Owens and Big E have magic together. 

- I'm constantly reminded of how cool Apollo's gear is, and how perfect Owens' Swanton Bomb looks. 

- Owens tossed Apollo halfway across the ring with that suplex!

- More distractions. Azeez twice, Reginald, Sami. Come on, man. A distraction FINISH on Owens at that, then Owens gets his heat back, then Azeez beats him up. So I guess Azeez gets over and Sami gets over for laughing.

- Big E attacked Apollo, but I was wanting more of Big E and Owens!

- Oh, great. A rematch between Drew & Braun vs. Mace & T-Bar Monday. 

- Watching Smackdown during the daylight is neat.

- Why is Nia Jax so protected, except against Tamina?

- Good on Tamina for her huge strides of improvement though. The new gear is great and fresh.

- Aleister Black is back. That's great news. I guess we're doing a new tormented character. For now, I'm just happy to see him back. 

- Ah, I really wanted the ninth match between the Mysterios and Alpha Academy. That's not hyperbole. It was hyped by teasing the 13th Street Profits and Dirty Dawgs match. I did not watch this match. Sorry. 

- Why is it "take back season" for the Street Profits? They lost clean last week.

- Roman Reigns, Cesaro and Daniel Bryan were so good in their segment. Cesaro is such a babyface. Reigns is such a great heel. Reigns saying Cesaro isn't on his level and never will be is so perfect for this story. Cesaro giving up his title hopes for Bryan.

- Bryan being willing to put his career on the line for the title match is outstanding, too. The best close to a WWE cable TV show in a while.
