12 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Feb 5)
1. Enemies One Week, Allies The Next
While it was good to see Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows back in the ring last night, their tag match against Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura had its problems.
1. It wasn't very good.
2. The experienced, tenured team with five years of chemistry lost to the all-stars.
3. Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura were trying to kill each other 9 days ago. Now, they're pals.
4. Lana's attempt at lifting Nakamura back into the ring looked like a resthold.
5. A thrown-together tag team comprised of the least interesting heel versions of Ru-Ru and Nak doesn't exactly get the pulse racing.
At least Gallows and Nakamura looked good in the ring together, harking back to the many fun scraps they had in New Japan. Still, this bout gave more reasons to be concerned than excited. Let's hope they turn it around.
