Isenberg Reacts: WWE Smackdown “Thursday Feels Right”

January 16, 2015

6 Man Tag Team Match

wwe smackdown The Miz, Damien Mizdow and Alicia Fox defeated The Uso’s and Naomi. Naomi and Alicia kick things off in fast fashion, as she hits a nice head scissors. Miz and Jey get the tag and Miz connects with a nice boot to his face. The pace slows down here and Miz drops him with a neckbreaker combination. Finally, Jey hits Whisper in the Wind and then goes for the cover. Alicia gets involved and then Naomi gets thrown into the air by her husband and hits a Lou Theis Press. Jimmy tries to hit a superkick on Miz, but Mizdow takes the shot. Miz connects with his finisher to pick up the win.

Solid match all around here with the heels needing the win. Their WWE Tag Team Championship match at Royal Rumble will be a nice start for the event. I really think that Miz and Mizdow have more left in the tank, but I am not sure they will get a huge payoff that they deserve. I can see their split coming at Royal Rumble, even though I think there is too much more important things going on that will overshadow it.

Tonight’s match was solid, with a few nice spots. Kudos to Naomi and Alicia for fitting in nicely for their respective teams. Both Divas are solid workers and have great athleticism to fit with these four guys.

Natalya defeated Nikki Bella

The two Divas square off with Brie and Paige in their corners. Nikki hits a nice armbreaker to get the match started, but it does not take long to Nattie to take control. She dead-lifts her off the mat and drops her to the mat. Natalya plays up the arm injury from earlier in the match, but connects with a dropkick and a running knee. Brie tries to distract the referee and Paige ends up slapping Nikki. Natalya is able to lock in the Sharpshooter for the win.

I think WWE needs to realize that Paige is their best Diva all around right now. The fans like her, the kids like her and she continues to use the little pieces given to her to make it great. I love watching her grow every week and think she could be huge in the future. I would love to see a Fatal Four Way with these four women for the Divas Championship. Why limit it to a singles bout we have seen over and over and over again?
