6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Mar 4)
Ricochet becomes IC Champ; Ronda Rousey goes crazy; Pat McAfee's WrestleMania foe revealed.
They 'The Ones'.
Jimmy and Jey Uso are one of the best tag-teams WWE has these days, and they proved it yet again on this week's SmackDown. There was no Brock Lesnar on Friday night, but the company busily set about the task of prepping some Bloodline business - The Usos have new challengers for WrestleMania 38.
Roman Reigns also got to rant and rave like a madman on Friday night. His promo was a highlight (no surprises there) despite the complete lack of Brock, and it's cool that Roman is so willing to show a different side to his despotic 'Tribal Chief' character.
Elsewhere, Ronda Rousey wrestled her first match on SmackDown ever. The SmackDown Women's Title challenger even progressed her story with Charlotte Flair by showing off a new weapon that'll keep the champ guessing heading into April. It was good stuff.
On the flip side, other ladies in the women's division are working forced scenarios that won't help anyone, and Big E's sudden...fondness for a particular vehicle means New Day's latest rivalry is already in critical danger.
Here's all the good and the bad from a better week of Smackers.
