Dean Ambrose defeated Baron Corbin in the main event of SmackDown this week. (WWE.com)
Tonight’s SmackDown couldn’t quite match the insanity of Monday Night Raw, but it was still a well-received episode overall, featuring progress on several major storylines.
The main event saw a match between Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin, but we also saw a few more matches in the Tag Team Championship tournament, including one against The Hype Bros and the returning Headbangers, and another during which Heath Slater and Rhyno actually advanced to the next round.
Here are some of the best reactions and memes from throughout the show, presented in the order that they occurred.
Dolph Ziggler Confronts The Miz
This is incredible television #SDLive
Ziggler shutup your the biggest coward forever losing your matches #SDLive
Awesome segment to start #SDLive!!! Miz and Dolph both had very good promos. Hopefully Dolph wins the Intercontinental Championship
The Hype Bros vs. The Vaudevillains
I like Ryder but mojo nooooooooo nooooo #SDLive #SmackDownLIVE #WWE
No intro for the Vaudevillians.
Oh. I remember they were somewhat over. #SDlive
@ZackRyder is so much better than the credit he deserves. Long Island Ice T can brawl! #SDLive #TagTeamTitles
When you’re getting jobbed out to the Hype Bros, you should just quit there and then #SDLive -Tucker
Hype bros got a zero reaction #SDLive
Crowd = not hyped. #SDLive
AJ Styles vs. Apollo Crews
Lmfao @ AJ Styles thinking he is the face that runs the place #SDLive
AJ Styles demanding that he is now announced as “the face that runs the place” is a lovely touch. #SDLive
Apollo gets no crowd reaction and that’s kinda sad
I’m just not sure “Everyone forgets my name” is the right gimmick for a Rising Star…
Should it still be surprising that everyone who wrestles @AJStylesOrg always looks amazing? #SDLive
Heath Slater House Tour and Interview
Cribs with Heath Slater! Awesome! #SDLive
Rhyno right now 😂 #SDLive
Bray Wyatt Confronts Randy Orton
Randy’s worn pants more times in the last month than he has in the last 10 years. #SDLive
Bray > Bray w/ the Wyatt family.
I feel this turned into a weird therapy session. I have demons…you have demons…. #SDLive #Backlash #WWE #SmackdownLive
I find it hard to believe that Orton doesn’t fear Wyatt when he hardly enjoys pants. #SDLive
Natalya & Alexa Bliss vs Naomi & Becky Lynch
No offence to the other women but Becky Lynch really deserves to be the first womens champion of #SDLive. She’s worked her butt off for this
STRAIGHT FIREEEE!! #SDLive
Thank you Carmella!! Come at me haters! #SDLive
It’s amazing that the “stronger” talent crop of women are on RAW but the women on #SDLive are the ones creating a buzz.
Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. The Headbangers
Kane Fights Local Jobber “The Milkman”
WHO THE HECK IS THIS?? #SDLive
Who the fuck is this guy….#SDLive the MILKMAN?
Haha who is this guy? This is great!!! #SDLive
Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin
Best way to kill someone’s momentum? Put him in a 4 month feud with Dolph Ziggler. Imagine Corbin having a memorable first program. #SDLive
The sooner they give AJ Styles the title the better.
“Hey @AJStylesOrg, if you need an extra testicle we can help you out,” – The Club #SDLive
I have to admit, that really made me laugh and it shouldn’t have. Dick humour on WWE this week 5/7 #SDlive
