3 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (June 30)

1. A Brawl That Did Make Sense

Pop quiz time.

What's the difference between the MITB ladder match lads brawling compared to The Usos and The Bloodline? For one, there's a personal issue to the latter that's been burning since forever. Second, Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa battling with Jimmy and Jey was intense.

It did a much better job of teasing the "Civil War" tag match that's to come on Saturday than the earlier melee did of hyping its own showcase. Plus, The Usos successfully got into Roman's head by making him believe Solo was about to be the latest to turn against ye olde 'Tribal Chief'.

This show-closing skit didn't overstay its welcome, which is another positive. These boys were in and out within 10-15 minutes. Of course, Reigns' entrance took up a solid five mins of air time beforehand. Score yet another win for this storyline. It really has been WWE's best, and continues to stay strong.
