5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (19 July - Results & Review)
2. KO Returns To Team With Cody
First off, it's amazing to hear that KO's mother is doing better in hospital. Next, as much as this was defo a house show style bout, Cody and Kev gelled well together and the live crowd loved it. Problems continue to mount for Austin Theory and Grayson Waller too, although WWE need to pull the trigger on Theory's babyface turn soon.
It's time, people.
There was more miscommunication between the A-Town Down crew throughout the match. On the other side, the babyfaces acted like they've been a regular tag for years. It's anyone's guess whether or not the actual R-KO unit of Owens and Randy Orton will get a tag title reign before finishing up that experiment.
If Cody's earlier promo was a mere vehicle for the heel attack, then this match was one for The Bloodline waiting to pounce. Anyone who has been following SmackDown over the past few months could see that coming, but Solo Sikoa leading the charge doesn't deserve some of the eye-rolling it's getting.
