Last night's Smackdown Live was a decent go home show ; but predictably not nearly as good as Raw . First thing is the complete racial insensitivity at the opening of the show . Having American pro wrestling fans seeming like simpletons by booing , ans coming across hostile toward a cultural celebration that not their own .
The shocking moment of the night was after the main event ; Baron Corbin came out and attacked Cena . Following that he made an attempt to cash in his newly MIB contract on Mahal ; and for the 3rd time in history it was unsuccessful . I'm hesitant to endorse this move , or be very critical of it . I'm going to take a wait a see approach on this decision .
The Final noteworthy segment of the show was between Owens-Styles-Shane . Good segment , minus the timing issue , in terms of setting the stage for how all three volatile personalties could play off of each other and react to various twists and turns and misunderstandings . The downside is that Styles was supposed to fear Shane retaliating . Shane is a 47 year old civilian who plays wrestler now and then . Styles is a full-time World Champion level wrestler WWE needs to be perceived as a star , not a guy who is scared of the gray haired non-wrestler fantasy camp son-of-the-promoter stunt man .
