Fire 🔥, MID 😐, or Trash 🗑️?: Smackdown Match Review 4/28/23
L.A. Knight vs Butch
Headline: “In a battle of two stars who should be booked better, L.A. Knight comes out on top.”
Result: L.A. Knight wins via pinfall
Verdict: FIRE 🔥
Editor’s Note: I was so pumped up when this match was announced. PETE DUNNE and L.A. Knight are two of the most underutilized talents on the roster. L.A. Knight gets the victory here. The fans are behind him. He absolutely should get a push.
Street Profits vs Ricochet and Braun Strowman vs L.W.O.
Headline: “The Street Profits make a statement on their new brand”.
"THERE ARE BODIES FLYING EVERYWHERE!" 😱
This Triple Threat Tag Team Match is AWESOME! #BraunStrowman & @KingRicochet vs. The #StreetProfits vs. @deltoro_wwe & @joaquinwilde_! #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/rJHhgiNwsb

Verdict: MID😐
Editor’s Note: We don’t get to see Zelina in the right that often, so seeing her perform rose this verdict from Trash to Mid.
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens vs Usos – WWE Universal Tag Team Championship
Headline: “Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens casts the Usos out into the ocean of obscurity”.
Result: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens retain
Verdict: FIRE 🔥
Editor’s Note: Was there any doubt this match would be awesome. I’m disappointed I didn’t get to see Solo carry out the hit on his brothers.
