5 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night’s WWE SmackDown (Aug 27)

2. The Dudley Boys Looked Great In Their First Match Since Returning

"Do you know we are? We're the Dudley Boyz and we're back!" - Bubba Ray Dudley. The Dudley Boyz looked great in their first WWE match in ten years. It was smart of WWE to book them in a match against a bad tag team like The Ascension, who really don't mean much right now. Sometimes when there are matches on Smackdown, you can tell that there's piped in crowd noise and the crowd isn't that into the action. In this case, the crowd was heavily invested in it from the moment the Dudleys entered the arena. It was a clean five minute win for the Dudleys, which is exactly what it needed to be. They didn't need to go longer than that and they shouldn't have been tested more than that. It was over when they hit 3D on Konnor. After the match, The New Day came out with signs to complain about the Dudleys being there and they kept their distance. That's when the Dudleys put Viktor through a table with a Powerbomb much to the delight of the crowd.
