Yesterday I decided to hit up the WWE SmackDown event in Seattle, man that arena was packed to the rafters! Grabbed my buddy Mike around 4PM, chugged an energy drink at the parking lot before joining the crazy line wrapping around three blocks. Took forever to get through security but once we heard the entrance music blasting inside, we sprinted to our nosebleed seats.
First Match Chaos
Right after the pyro show, Kevin Owens stormed the ring yelling in French at Sami Zayn. Those two went at it like rabid wolverines – chairs flying everywhere! Sami tried his helluva kick but KO countered with a stunner that made the whole section jump up screaming. Crowd nearly blew the roof off when Zayn crawled out bleeding above his eyebrow.
- Best moment: Owens standing on the announce table roaring “This is my house!” while wiping Sami’s blood off his face
- Dumbest thing: Some drunk guy behind us spilled beer down Mike’s back cheering
Surprise Return & Tag Team Mess
After a hot dog break (cold and overpriced ugh), the lights suddenly cut out. Green lasers started scanning – couldn’t see jack till BAM! Finn Balor’s music hits! Dude appeared on the tron dripping with paint looking like a demonic Picasso. His tag match with Priest against Judgment Day was straight chaos – tables breaking, ref getting knocked out, Dominik cheating with brass knuckles. Nearly missed Balor’s Coup de Grace finish cause some lady shoved past us scrambling for a selfie.
Main event had Bianca Belair and Charlotte squaring off in a brutal last woman standing match. Steel steps got involved, hair whipping madness, Bianca did her handspring thing straight into a powerbomb through two tables! Mike was screaming like a little girl when Bianca nearly got counted out but popped up at 9.5. Camera guy right by us got smashed by flying debris too.
Got home at 1AM completely hoarse with a souvenir cup dented from someone’s flying elbow. Hands down wildest Wednesday night ever. If they rerun this episode, skip your bedtime just to watch Bianca body-slam Charlotte onto those announce tables!
