8 Ups & 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Mar 26)

The gauntlet's opening fall stunk, with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows eating sh*t in barely a minute, looking like utter frauds in only their second televised bout of 2019.

Anderson took the brunt of it. He was battered and beaten down by Xavier Woods and Big E, before Gallows dashed into the ring. A Clothesline over the top took care of big Luke, and Anderson fell to the Midnight Hour seconds later, ending a pathetic fight from the Brothers Bald.

This was the drizzling sh*ts, particularly as the Good Brothers aren't supposed to be outright jobbers. Surely they should be on a level higher than the Colons over the world? Apparently not, though there's a strong chance that this pitiful performance was punishment for recent backstage goings-on, with Anderson and Gallows supposedly turning down new multi-year WWE contracts.
