This was the 900th episode of SD. In this special event, we had another Miz vs. Ziggler main event-level match, the return of the Deadman to SD after 3.5 years and the Cutting Edge show. It was a much anticipated SD episode and it delivered as per the expectations.
Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan's Address:
This was a typical way to start the show for getting the crowd hyped up. Daniel filled the crowd with Power of Positivity. :P The crowd was ready to roll by this time.
The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler:
The pre-match segment included a powerful entrance by Miz. A man could not take his eyes of the Miz's wife, the ever-graceful Maryse. I still expect Maryse to show her wrestling skills in future if that is a plausible card for the WWE chairman to play in future. We were bestowed with a beautiful starting segment of the match. It was packed with intense action, quick and fast pinups, intense commentary. The Miz's taunt on Daniel Bryan was nicely executed ending with a Running Knee followed by a Skull-crushing Finale. Dolph's Zigzag was also nasty. It looked as painful as it was graceful. The final segment of the match followed by the celebration with Spirit Squad was wonderful. All in all, it was a delicious match for Marks and Smarks alike.
Backstage Promo of Alexa Bliss and Natalya:
Alexa has been cutting nice promos each and every time. In this episode of SD, there was no exception. Natalya too has been building up her gimmick utilising the available TV time aptly.
Oney Larcon vs. Kalisto:
Oney Lorcan, the NXT star, showed great fierceness in the initial segment. Thanks to the SD creative team, new talents are getting a good amount of TV time.
King Booker and Survivor Series Tag Team's Team Backstage Promo:
This segment was funny. "Breezango, you are the reject of POC cast, Can you dig that, Suckkaaa?" The 10-man team of the SD was strong and hilarious.
Nicki Bella vs. Carmella:
Carmella has been a real revelation. She performed her part with the show of apt fierceness. Nicki's struggle-segment was fascinating. She has worked on these minute skills with care. The build-up was slow. Nia Jax's power moves and Naomi's risky yet awesome jump were the most noticeable moment of the brawl between the Raw and SD women's team.
Spirit Squad-The Vaudevillains-The Ascensions-The Headbangers vs The USOs-Breezango-Americal Alpha-The Hype Bros (Accompanied by Heath Slater-Rhyno):
This was an enjoyable 16-man stipulation. It was an acceptable way to show the cohesiveness between SD's 10 men representatives in the Survivor Series. The crowd was going nuts with "We want Slater" and "We want Rhyno" chants. Slater has surely made quite a name for himself. :) Not only for Slater but for the Hype Bros, the crowd was loud and vocal to show their support. The Hype-Bros and the Ascension were delightful. Jason Jordan's power-show was amusing. But the most nostalgic segment of the match came when we got the USO crazy moment: the flying USOs. The USOs had used this move for the last time a long time ago. So, this move coming when they were heels, was a pleasant surprise.
Cutting Edge Show:
Edge was happy to be back. He has always been happy to host the Cutting Edge Show. Notably, someone in the crowd was chanting "Delete Delete" :D. The WWE creative board believed in James Ellsworth. He came to the ring with got the mic. OMG.. cool. The crowd was loud for Ellsworth, AJ Styles, Shane McMahon and the Deadman himself. Shane is indeed an extraordinary on-screen leader. He has been revolutionary back-screen already. One can't miss - Randy's stinging-stare at James Ellsworth when Ambrose and AJ Styles were talking. It was vicious. :P Undertaker's entrance, as usual, was the Holy shit moment of the entire night. I can see a future match prospective of the Undertaker and one of the performers from SD Men's team. The Undertaker will fight soon. Brace yourself. and Rest in Peace.
