5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (3 Oct - Results & Review)
1. The Vision Score A Major Tag Win
Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker looked like equals out there with Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, which is something they should be seriously proud of. Fans believed they had more than a fair chance to win even without Seth Rollins getting involved, which goes to show how credible the duo have become. This whole Vision thing is paying off big time for the pair.
A house show style pinned down this main event at times, but that’s not a bad thing. Orton and Cody played the hits, everybody took their time to let every punch, kick or move breathe, then Rollins stomped Randy so Bronson could Tsunami the ink right off Orton’s body for the pin. They still managed to get across how devastating Reed is as a monster despite Seth helping him out, which is cool.
Lastly, this fan kinda liked Rollins ignoring Paul Heyman and paying for it with a Cody Cross Rhodes too. Listen to your ‘Oracle, Seth! The thought that Cody is inside the World Heavyweight Champion's head going into their Crown Jewel match is a tad more interesting than the show of babyface respect Tiffany Stratton and Stephanie Vaquer have going on elsewhere.
Lots of green ticks next to this match, by the way. Breakker continued his power-based assault, Reed looked every bit the killer, Rollins got involved, Cody and Randy did their thing (2 masters right there), and then Heyman pulled strings by showing his true value to The Vision.
A fun ride all in then.
