[5.0] "A perfectly average episode, good Roman and Cody at the start and little spots of Bloodline drama here and there. Average is the key word here!"

[5.0] "When you need to bring some big names from the other brand to bring interest to the show that doesn't speak well of your creativity. There are so many interpromotional feuds for WrestleMania it's like they don't know how to properly book an exclusive brand. The best moments of the show were those with RAW wrestlers involved (Roman and Cody promo was amazing and truly feels like a proper wrestling Main Event), and the Sheamus and Drew confrontation over the IC Title. Matches were average and more focused on developing related storylines."

[5.0] "MEH. The segments were better than the matches for some reason. Let me know when the wrestling starts please."

[7.0] "There's not much wrestling on this show, but I mostly enjoyed everything except for the Uncle Howdy Lashley segment. Roman/Cody was obviously the highlight of the show"

[7.0] "This show would be in the 5 range for me if it wasnt for the work of Cody and Roman in the opening segment and the other segments roman and Paul were in that hit a home run."

[4.0] "The show was below average. Roman and Cody's promo is not bad, but it doesn't bring anything new. Matches are generally dull. The plot seems to move, but somehow slowly. In general, it is impossible to write down the show in the list of good ones."

[5.0] "25 min of wrestling on a 2 hours show, it's baffling ------ As usual the bloodline stuff is good but the rest of the show is not interesting, and Cody's promo was weak imo"

[6.0] "Smackdown was just decent last night. I'll begin listing the positives though. Cody Rhodes was GREAT on the mic last night. He EASILY carried the opening segment here, and it isn't even close too. I also liked Bobby Lashley looking like an absolute beast who's taking Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas seriously while also destroying the latter name too in that segment. I thought Rhea Ripley vs Liv Morgan was a fun match (although I selfishly wanted to see Rhea do her pin on Liv at the end). Lastly, Dominik Mysterio attacking Rey Mysterio was a pretty good heel moment that made him look like an absolute prick for the buildup to their match at Wrestlemania 39. Anyway, it's time to list the major negatives here. I know that he's the undisputed world champion atm, but there was too much Roman Reigns for me last night. I'm just beyond sick of his awfully boring reign 2 years later. The world titles should honestly be separated by now, and we should have a different full-timer holding the gold by now instead. Additionally, Tegan Nox getting squashed last night was an absolute bummer. Plus, feeding 1 of the most babyfaces of the entire company in Sami Zayn to Solo Sikoa was an absolutely baffling booking decision. Zayn's overness will most likely cool down significantly over the next 6 months at this rate. Lastly, I don't mind Dominik Mysterio at all, but I don't think they should've had Santos Escobar lose to him last night. Escobar is the (mafia-like) leader of Legado del Fantasma, so he SHOULD be winning matches more often than he loses matches. Overall, Smackdown gets a solid 6 from me here."

[4.0] "Terrible, Terrible episode with absurd matches and uninteresting segments. I'm not sure why they are not do enough for building up to WrestleMania."

[4.0] "About an hour of this two hour show was a complete waste, with a bunch of repetitive segmnents and actual replays of multiple things form the past few week, with only about 25 minutes of wrestling (some of it during commercials). It was just about watchable due to the opening Bloodline/Cody segment and the first match, but the rest was a bunch of nothing that should have been in the go-home Wrestlemania show, not nearly a month out."

[6.0] "Somewhat good show. I liked the opening segment. The matches were kind of average. Bobby Lashley showed up!"

[10.0] "Great show, I really enjoyed the opening angle and the main event especially. Solo beating Sami felt off but what happened after made it fine."

[7.0] "Cody & Roman promo was great, i have loved the Rey vs Dom build. The build for next weeks 5 Way was good. Some good matches. I enjoyeds it."

[8.0] "Super solid show: not the best day for matches but great segment between Cody and Roman, honestly. Good the other promos too."

[7.0] "I've gone 7 points here mainly for the Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes segment, they should have a heck of a WrestleMania main event. The matches weren't great shakes, and who thought it was a good idea for Shayna Baszler and Tegan Nox to come out to their partner's theme music, paints them as both secondary off the bat. I presume we'll get Drew McIntyre and Sheamus co-winning the five way next week to get the Mania shot at GUNTHER."

[7.0] "This was a good show. The first Reigns/Cody face off did not disappoint the the Bloodline stuff continues to build with little segments throughout the show and the main event where Sami got the upper hand on them again. Liv/Rhea was a fine match and Solo/Sami was alright even though I expected it to be longer. WWE is finally gaining steam ahead of Wrestlemania."
