WWE SmackDown Highlights, Grades, Analysis For Superstar Shakeup 2018

AJ Styles starts the night off by talking some trash about Shinsuke Nakamura, who low blowed him at WrestleMania 34 when he turned heel and then low blowed him again last week in the main event of SmackDown Live. Styles called Nakamura the “Con Artist”, stating that Nakamura showed his true colors when he hit AJ with a low blow at WrestleMania after the match.

The Phenomenal One lamented Nakamura ruining his second dream match against Daniel Bryan, and he added that he won’t let this go. Styles proclaimed that he won’t leave the ring until Nakamura meets him face to face and mocked Nakamura pretending to forget how to speak English.

Speaking of English, Styles isn’t interrupted by Shinsuke. It is Aiden English and Rusev who come out to annoy Styles.

And that will be our next match. Rusev vs. Styles, and these two will likely put on a show for the fans in Providence, Rhode Island.

Barring Nakamura interfering of course.

And it isn’t Nakamura who interferes. Styles puts Rusev in the Calf Crusher early, so English caused a disqualification with Rusev in trouble. Daniel Bryan then came out to even up the odds and save Styles.

Ms. GM Paige announces a great match, Teddy Long style, pitting English and Rusev against Bryan and Styles, who are the best buddies we could ask for.

Segment Grade: C+, mildly entertaining but nothing special at all
