3/15/24 WWE SmackDown On-Site Report

Wrestleview reader Andrew Elder attended Friday evening’s WWE SmackDown on the FedEx Discussion board in Memphis, TN.

Andrew despatched within the following on-site report from the present.

The group was sizzling all evening and the matches delivered. 

I believe WWE introduced attendance was 14,000 plus. Truthfully, it was packed and was wonderful to see the higher deck being open up on each side.  

The Rock was superior. The Hollywood Rock music is again.   I beloved that he stated house.  Moreover his USWA stint, The Rock grew up in Memphis briefly throughout his dad’s stays within the CWA/Jarrett promotions.

Unsure what obtained beeped or sound reduce off, however in the event you didn’t hear it, I can attest we obtained the uncensored elements of The Rock’s songs.  He did get booed a bit of on Cody stuff. However The Rock is so over in Memphis. I laughed at The Ja Morant line.

The standard chants earlier than the present began, as some issues won’t ever die.  There was Whoop That Trick chants throughout the Bayley and Dakota match in direction of Dakota.

Pre-show match: Cedric Alexander beat Odyssey Jones (shocked he’s nonetheless on the roster, too early of a name up) by holding tights.

 Put up Present Double Major Occasion:

Rhea Ripley (sans make up) defeated Natyla and Shayna Bazler by submission on Natyla.  Natyla left via crowd whereas shaking palms.  Rhea is so over. She performed with the gang on her entrance. There was loud Mami chants.

Cody Rhodes defeated Drew McIntyre in a Memphis Road combat. Large Cody pop. Drew is such a great swarmy heel proper now. 

Not a lot however a small Bloodline phase, however this was The Rock’s evening.

Jerry The King Lawler was introduced earlier than the present. He got here out. Sadly I seen when he headed to the again, he was limping. 

Total this was good present. It was nice to see the FedEx Discussion board crammed up.
