5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (21 Feb - Results & Review)

1. Hoss Fight Main Event Delivers

The main event was packed with chemistry itself.

Something just feels right about seeing Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu in the same ring together. They showed what they're capable of back on a recent Saturday Night's Main Event, and the duo served up more good times here. Braun and Damian Priest are a good power team in the short-term too. That needs to be said. They won't be going after the tag belts, or anything, but they work in this kind of setting.

There was an interesting wrinkle on the heel side; tension between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa punctuated the match. That peaked when Jacob accidentally superkicked Solo right in the jaw, then stared down at him with a serious lack of empathy. Yep, loads to enjoy here. It was four bulls hitting power moves aplenty, but the action had a nice pace to it throughout.

Tama Tonga, who was at ringside for the ex-New Bloodline pairing, even took one hell of a bump for Strowman's old steam train spot over by the announce table. Thankfully, that was one of the only times he got involved. Full focus needed to go on issues between Jacob and Solo, as well as the main event push Priest is getting on Fridays.

That's being endorsed by Braun, at least for now. Credit to all four of these dudes for bringing the energy levels back up after everyone was left confused by The Rock's segment with Cody Rhodes. They had a job on their hands, 'cause people's interest could've dropped post-Rock, but the quartet delivered.
