[6.0] "the opening match was pretty good and the dom angle was great. the tension between bianca and bayley is very good. both tag matches were mid, the women's match was fine and a home invasion angle is always great. the main event segment felt so awkward and predictable"

[6.0] "Fine show with nothing bad on the card. The final segment with Cody and Roman was the best part of the show by a far to me. All of the matches are solid with Sky v Naomi being my MOTN and Street Profits v AOP being the most disappointing to me because of how it was booked. Like the interactions between Naomi and Bianca on this show teasing a Bianca heel turn. Stratton's comment to them after the beatdown was also very well done."

[5.0] "Another show that just puts all interest in the Main Event while the rest is absolutely or near absolute mid. In this case, even the face off was a little lackluster, as there's nothing more Roman and Cody could tell to each other to this point and the appearances of Rollins, Jey, Jimmy and Solo, while cool at first it didn't serve any purpose. I'd say the best thing this show had was Pretty Deadly getting scared by Randy Orton. Matches were not bad, but aside from the Santos vs Rey that should've taken place at Mania and not turning it into a forced rematch story against Dom, no other match was really interesting. I hope people could ask for more and not conform with anything WWE gives them, because that's the main problem with the product right now."

[5.0] "The promo between Reigns and Cody Rhodes is as soporific as it gets. Dominik/Rey Mysterio, the loop, is boring. Styles/LA Knight is interesting, two wrestlers I particularly like. Not passionate about the matches on this show, OC and AOP are crap."

[5.0] "This Smackdown had a good opener, but every other match on the card was a varying degree of average. I cannot wait for this Rock/Roman/Cody feud to be over though. I do not care for these overly long promo segments taking up so much time of the show. The feud itself is good, but it's just not what I look for in a wrestling show myself."

"[7.0] Really enjoyed this episode. I liked that there were less segments here to make it more flexible for the matches and the ending. There is a lot of improvement to still be made and I honestly think that Raw is going better for now. LA Knight & AJs segment was my favorite of this show and the best match was arguably Rey vs Santos. It looks like we are getting Rey vs Dom II at WMXL but that is fine with me. The Final Testament vs The Pride feud is not hitting for me whatsoever and I have been mostly bored of it. Overall this was a very decent episode of Smackdown"

[7.0] "The wrestling, while solid, was limited by distraction finishes. Commentary did great work all night - at one point, Wade Barrett had Corey Graves cracking up. Hopefully this team continues to get time to gel and develop chemistry. Some interesting seeds were planted for a potential heel turn for Bianca Belair - maybe a feud with Bayley after 'Mania? It will be nice to finally see Jade Cargill in a WWE ring for the first time in months. Kevin Owens and Pretty Deadly are comedy gold. LA Knight is a good fit for the old-school home invasion spot, but there wasn't nearly enough carnage and the decision to cut to the police footage wasn't well timed. Cody and Roman's promo fell a bit flat - they hit all the right notes, but there was a lack of energy present. I've got some quibbles about how The Rock has inserted himself into this WrestleMania narrative, but, to be truthful, he always brings a charge into whatever angle he walks into. His absence was noticeable. Roman Reigns was great on the mic per usual; Cody largely lacked the fire of his promo on RAW earlier this week."

[7.0] "A slightly better episode of SD this week with more wrestling i especially enjoyed the Santos vs Rey match and liked the insertion of Dominik in this story and feel it works well and is a story which can be picked up anytime hopefully we see Andrade in this match at WM in a 4v4 or 3v3. The theory/Waller vs OC match was average. The Bianca and Naomi storyline insertion into the Damage CTRL storyline is working very well with both their feelings towards bayley being presented really smartly and making logical sense The match between IYO and Naomi was good albeit with a very predictable ending.I also really like the Bronn video package. The street profits vs AOP match was good and I am pretty certain AOP will cost them the qualifier next week. The final segment once again was the main draw of this show although not as good as the previous weeks it furthered the story and provided for good entertainment and a high point end to the night."

[6.0] "This show was hit or miss, to be honest. Which is strange because people regard Smackdown as the A-show and Raw as the boring three hour slog, when it's been the opposite so far. You had some good matches like Santos/Rey and Iyo/Naomi, where the storylines there are progressing nicely. I didn't like how they ended both tag team matches with roll-ups, as they lack a decisiveness (which might be by design to protect the team that loses). The closing segment was...there. Roman and Cody are two great talkers, but something just felt off about this one. They've said a lot of the things they've said before. I did like the ending where they panned to Jey and Seth int he crowd to show that Cody has backup. I feel like the entire segment was just so they could get good shots for video packages, however."

[5.0] "Quite a bit weaker smackdown this week compared to recent episodes. In-ring we get two interference wins and two roll-ups which is not great, and the Cody/Roman segment was also very underwhelming to me. A lot of focus is still on ongoing storylines leading to WM, but overall the episode fell quite a bit flat."

[6.0] "What a mid Smackdown no matches apart from maybe Rey VS Santos that makes you go wow but even that was spoiled due to Dominik Mysterio interference. The best part of this show was the Roman and Cody segment"

[7.0] "Decent show, love the LA and AJ angle, love the development of Wrestlemania stories, their clearing setting things up with Jade and Bron, and matches were decent. Only thing i dislike is the main event angle, and lack of match time. Story was the focus, and wrestling took a backseat."

[5.0] "An average SmackDown episode. The stuff with CTRL, Bayley and Belair was for me the best part of this weeks show. The ending segment with Roman and Cody was a bit disappointing."

[6.0] "Same old, same old, not so great matches, but a few good segments, classic show. The last segment didnt really told us anything."

[7.0] "Good show, as we're going closer to WrestleMania. Not a fan of the final segment until the others shows up. Surprised Dominik involved in Rey's match, good one though, and the rests are just fine."
