4 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Feb 23 - Results & Review)

1. Yep, This Worked!

Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne beating Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh as a warm up for Damian Priest and Finn Bálor was the right call. All four guys meshed well, and the bumping from Mysterio and McDonagh was genuinely top class. They knew their respective roles here, and executed them flawlessly.

Well played, lads.

Hopefully, Triple H will start doing more with Dominik post-WrestleMania, because he's a breakout success story waiting to happen. McDonagh is more workmanlike, but it's a huge compliment to him that he's been able to slot neatly into Judgment Day. That was tougher than some might realise.

Real-life pals Bate and Dunne work so well together that an Undisputed Tag Title run later in the year isn't out of the question. Chamber probably comes too early for that, but WWE made the team look like a threat by having them get the edge on Priest and Bálor post-match.

Nobody can argue against booking this watertight.
