5 Ups And 2 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Feb 7)
4. Four-Way Fray
The fatal four-way match that resulted from the opening segment was quite good, even without the use of comical new words. Miz, Ambrose, and Styles carried the workload, trading roll-ups and two counts for a while, while Corbin was the big bad guy. They did the tower superplex/powerbomb spot, Miz hit Styles with the Busaiku Knee, and AJ nailed Miz with the Phenomenal Forearm. Finally, though, it was Corbin who scored the win, hitting AJ Styles with the End of Days.
It's not a whole lot of fun to see Styles get pinned by Corbin (although it's better than James Ellsworth, I suppose), but the match was a strong one. It does bode well for the Elimination Chamber (which is an "All-New" Elimination Chamber, whatever that means) that these guys are working so well together, and so the Chamber match at the PPV should be another strong one, like so many of its predecessors were.
