7 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (April 28)

1. A Predictably Awesome Main Event

No, The Usos vs. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens II didn't reach WrestleMania 39 heights, but that was to be expected without the originality and white hot atmosphere of Hollywood. You should still go out of your way to see them work a sequel though, 'cause these two teams really are magic together.

They ended SmackDown with a bang(er).

It's also fab to see KO and Sami retain their belts amidst concerns WWE would spring a title change before Saudi Arabia. As aforementioned, that could still happen before the upcoming Night Of Champions show on 27 May, but management stood by their babyface heroes here at least.

Don't be shocked if Sami is drafted over to Raw on Monday either. Getting him away from The Bloodline for a while sounds like the right call, and it'd open him up to some super-fresh matches over on the red side. If that happens, then this bout will be considered another stunning parting shot for his Bloodline story arc.
