Welcome to the Smackdown review for August 27, 2019.
Story Progression
The Viper went back to his winning ways.. After Kofi said his piece, Orton prodeced a letter written by Kofi’s son. He then said he would visit said son as soon as possible. Kofi went nuts and walked right into a beating from Orton backstage. Later, Orton destroyed Big E after their match, sending a message to Kofi that anyone he loves has a target on their back.
I love hidden cameras. After Bryan and Rowan demanded that Roman Reigns apologize, he produced video that clearly showed it was Rowan who has been attacking him. The outcome was foreshadowed, but Bryan’s reaction was not. He attacked Rowan and said he had trusted him. Reigns speared Bryan, but what if Bryan did not know?
