6 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (16 Aug - Results & Review)

5. Let Them Fight!

Regular readers will know there's been a bitch and moan or two about this Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes feud in these pages, but it comes from a good place. There's some PTSD here from the way NXT'ers like Cameron Grimes were treated on the main roster, and everyone just fancies seeing Hayes fulfil his potential and become a success.

Now for some good news.

The live crowd were right into what Andrade and Melo were selling on SmackDown. They had a tidy match, then worked a pull-apart brawl afterwards. Various officials and security held both men back as fans yelled, "LET THEM FIGHT!". Backstage, a crafty smile must've crossed Triple H's chops.

Again, it's no secret that the dude writing these words hasn't liked a lot of this mini-rivalry, but Hayes grabbing the win and the crowd's reaction does feel promising. It's a step forwards, and the overall action was good enough to score this segment an 'Up'.

Now, keep the momentum going please.
