3 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (21 Nov - Results & Review)
Ups...
3. Fraxiom & DIY Maximise Their Minutes
It's a tough position to be in when you’ve got nothing really going on in terms of a feud. Thus, this was a cold tag match, but Fraxiom and DIY managed to heat everyone up by putting on a fast-paced clinic. They weren't hanging around to feel sorry for themselves. Personally, this guy isn't too sure he likes the whole unmasking Axiom thing, but it gave Candice LeRae something to do at ringside and handed the heels a much-needed win.
Nathan Frazer covered Axiom up with a towel afterwards anyway, so maybe they can get something out of this by booking some revenge for the babyfaces. It's either that or the former A-Kid is about to ditch his hood for good, grow out his hair and match Frazer's look so they're like mirror images of one another. The third option is having Axiom bitch and moan about Nathan never being there for him and going the split route.
That'd take a bit more thought, probably.
If you're in the mood for a zippy tag bout that doesn't overstay any welcomes and manages to skirt the fine line between spot, spot, spot without making the referee look like a chump, then DIY vs. Fraxiom is the match for you. It's the kind of thing you might see more often on AEW Dynamite, albeit with better officiating.
Finally, it's cool to see Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa get the win. Interesting that they came out individually to their own music though. Is a split incoming for DIY? Or, was Triple H simply trying out something new for the pair? Only time will tell.
