WWE SmackDown Live Score, recap, reactions (January 22, 2019): Champion of the Planet

Daniel Bryan, our hero, brings baby boomers to zero!

Haha … agree, the WWE. As a millennium, how can you ask me to hate Daniel Bryan for his performance in this episode of SmackDown? Also – TAKE THIS, BABY BOOMERS! Not so fun to be blamed for things, huh?

A face-to-face confrontation between Bryan and AJ Styles was announced for this show, but Bryan was much more comfortable staying out of the ring and preaching on a myriad of topics. They included processed meat, climate change, income inequality and the condemnation of capitalism, social media and baby boomers already mentioned.

My god, it was glorious.

As you can imagine, neither Styles nor Vince McMahon were impressed. Styles could hit back, of course. He accused Bryan of being a hypocrite, essentially. If not, how could the champion have gone to the arena by plane? And if so, then what he calls Bryan fans for weeks: wayward.

And if Bryan was not going to join him in the ring, Styles had no problem taking the face-to-face confrontation with the champion. Bryan tried to run away, but Styles caught him and hit him with a barrage of blows. The fight finally resumed in the ring, but while Styles was preparing for a phenomenal forearm, Bryan was hiding behind Vince McMahon. Styles had to shorten his shot and rushed into a champion's Basaiku knee.

I'm coming … I do not know man. It may be one of my political leanings – and God forbid, stay out of the political discussion itself – but Bryan has reached that point where he is so entertaining that I can not get away with it. to prevent comforting him. I hope that he will participate in the Royal Rumble match with an organic tweed crown, vegan and no GMO, or something of the kind.

Or you know. Go to the extreme this fickle thing, make him a dress in palm leaves and give him a crown of thorns. All I know is that I'm fascinated by Bryan's work these days.

More Lucha 2: Boogaloo Electric

I asked. I have received.

I have so many things I would like to know about Rey Mysterio vs Andrade, but I will keep it as concise as possible. WWE is murder with Andrade. Last week's match was just a wrestling clinic, you know? It was an exhibition of wrestling prowess and I did not feel as though Andrade was really fighting like a villain. The most vile thing that happened in this match came from Zelina Vega, right?

Well, she was banned from the ring for this match between two and three falls. And that put the spotlight only on Andrade.

For the first two falls, we had more delicious medicines last week. Andrade and Mysterio can exchange ridiculous moves all day, dude. Andrade secured the first crash by thwarting Frankensteiner on the second tensioner, putting Mysterio back into a powerbomb position and – I did not care – climbing up the top rope to hit a terrible avalanche bomb.

These two are nuts.

However, Mysterio caught him quickly as Andrade got another Powerbomb and was caught with a Canadian Destiny. Once again, they are crazy.

But this is where WWE has created something special in this clinic. The back against the wall – and in direct contradiction to the previous promotion of Mysterio which aimed to gain respect – Andrade reversed the button and went very quickly to the heel. Andrade used the strings to hit an armband on Mysterio, Powerbombé in the ring post outside and MY GOD HE MOCK EDDIE GURRERO'S SHIMMY.

That's precisely what Andrade needed. For the back and forth until the end, Mysterio had 619 vocals and Andrade was booed, a stark contrast since the start of the match.

Of course, Samoa Joe and Randy Orton prevented us from having a real finish, which is another great decision. After the Rumble, we can return to Mysterio and Andrade to find a clear winner. But dude … even more creepy lucha, please.


The rest of SmackDown Live

Becky Lynch and Asuka fight – In Asuka's affirmative claim last week, Lynch spoke to the champion and Asuka started the fight. There was not much to it, but did he really need it? Lynch vs Asuka; sign me up.

Mandy Rose def. Naomi – I liked the little promotional video leading to the game. Gives this one an impression of PPV, does not it? I bet some writers were so proud of the line "tables turned on the temptress".

Rose won the match thanks to a referee's distraction and Sonya Deville's outside interference. Naomi was annoyed by the result, and I'll bet, these two will have a kind of angle at the Rumble.

Cesaro def. The miz – So, fight fan online. Can you imagine the day the Miz is encouraged against Cesaro? 2019 is a trip, huh?

I thought it was the right decision. After taking a birthday cake, the Bar needed some influence after elbowing Shane McMahon.

Samoa Joe def. Mustafa Ali – The WWE is now adding its promotional talent to the dark alleyways that Ali used to cut on social media. The result was incredible. It's the eyes, man. The eyes tell you everything you need to know …

I love everything about Ali right now and I am so happy that the WWE gives him a chance to shine. He was the good guy to take the fall for Joe and he has great things to come if WWE continues to press the right buttons.


SmackDown Live is on Fire. Daniel Bryan blames baby boomers.

Grade: A

At Royal Rumble, Cageside!
