We kick off Smackdown with Roman Reigns taking on Rusev. In a rather lackluster contest, the League of Nations interupted, as Dean Ambrose came out to save Roman Reigns.
Rate: Meh. 4/10 (that one's for you, Bret. Put the Sharpshooter on cancer after hitting it with a snap suplex, an atomic drop and an elbow from the second turnbuckle)!
We come back from break with another decent promo from Ambrose, and were treated to a great piece of art from Kevin Owens and Kalisto as expected.

This was proof that if you give them a little time and make it feel longer, stars can maximize their minutes in a show stealer (even though there wasn't much of a show to really steal). KO would knock Dolph Ziggler (at commentary) out with a superkick (seemingly continuing that feud) as Kalisto beat him off of a school boy, however it was the little things that he did that made this match worthwhile.
Rate: 7.5/10
Next we have Ryback defeating Erick Rowan before escaping the grasp of the charisma repeller (and rumored Undertaker opponent), Braun Strauman, as well as a Sasha-Becky promo. We also see an AJ Styles-Miz match, which goes through two commercials in a surprisingly great match, ending with Styles using the calf cruncher for the victory. Chris Jericho proceeds to enter the ring and challenge Styles to a match on Smackdown next week (This should be excellent).
Rate: 6/10 for Styles v Miz, though watered down by Ryback. We also get a NEW DAY/SOCIAL OUTCAST MATCH AND SEGMENT! 10/1O FOR WHAT WE WITNESSED!
In our main event we get a decent tag match due to what had happened earlier in the night between Ambrose and Reigns as they take on the team of Rusev and Alberto Del Rio, with Reigns pinning Rusev off of a spear.
OVERALL RATING: 5/10, a few good matches but a rather lackluster event, and just another show.
