Csonka’s WWE Smackdown Review 10.02.18

Annoyed Smackdown Mom Paige Kicks Off The Show: So did Shane die? Paige is upset about Joe’s actions last week, where he skipped the contract signing to threaten a B&E on the Styles home. Paige says Joe didn’t enter the house and the authorities were called, and Joe got nabbed for trespassing. She wanted to fire Joe and called AJ to discuss things, and AJ dropped the charges and begged her not to fire Joe, because good is dumb. AJ asked to hand out the punishment to Joe, and Saturday’s match is still on. We get a video from AJ, apologizing for not being at the show tonight. He felt he needed to be at home and didn’t feel like he could perform. He also didn’t want to do something he regretted, and won’t leave until he knows Joe is on his way to Australia. His family needs him right now, because for the past week, Annie has been having nightmares of uncle Joe. Ajsays this will end it needs to end, and Joe won’t becoming back from Australia, because he’ll bury him alive.

– Tye Dilinger meets with Paige and wants a match with Orton tonight, and Paige agrees.

New Day Talks Pancakes: They have a big table with a griddle, and are making pancakes. Big E will allegedly reveal how he makes his famous pancakes. Big E makes an ICOPRO joke and they then hype Saturday’s Super Show-Down match. They admit that the Bar has had their number recently and introduce Mr. Bootyworth, who cooks all of their pancakes. Bootyworth will now tell us the secret, but The Bar arrives and interrupts. They make fun of New Day for being a bunch of children and playing with food. Woods says they are ruining this, while Cesaro already says it sucks. Cesaro then claims they all call him chef at home. They flip the table and brawl. Sheamus blinds Kofi with flour and then beat down New Day. The double team white noise follows on Big E. They then dump batter into Bootyworth’s hat and make him wear it. They then dump it all on him.

Randy Orton vs. Tye Dillinger: Tye gets the already in the ring treatment. Tye attacks before the bell and takes control with strikes before dumping Orton to the floor. He follows and Orton cuts him off, slamming him to the announce table but Tye counters and suplexes Orton onto the table and lays in ground and pound. Orton quickly cuts that off and hits the draping DDT on the floor. Orton now exposes the buckle screw and puts Tye’s fingers in it and “breaks” his finger. This is apparently not a DQ. Refs are out to end the match, and Orton walks off. Randy Orton vs. Tye Dillinger never officially started

He then took it further, accusing Lana of something in Milwaukee. Rusev wants to see the bogus evidence. English arrives and stalls. Lana tells him to drop the act, but English says that Milwaukee has history and culture. Many things were filmed there, including “BaseketBall.” But tonight we see the most anticipated premiere, one night Milwaukee. It starts with English practicing his singing in the bathroom, mocking Milwaukee. Lana arrives in his room and she tells him she has been thinking about something for a long time. She says “I want you,” and the video ends. He wants to show the rest, but he can’t due to legal obligations and is entertaining offers from TMZ and wouldn’t want to cheat on them.
