Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown from Montreal with John Cena (barely) addressing Brock Lesnar's attack from Summerslam and tagging with Cody Rhodes in the main event, with two new directions set for Clash in Paris. Plus, TWO MORE impromptu matches set up during the show, which begs the question... what the hell does Nick Aldis do all day backstage that there's time for so many impromptu matches om this show?

| 0:00.0 | Wake up! The Jones is a redo in their garden! |
| 0:02.6 | Love that porcelain paver and all that fencing. |
| 0:05.3 | I knew it. They'd been with their landscaper to Jusen. A mini-digger! No wonder she was so smug at Zumba! Right, I want a sunken seating area. She won't have that? For materials, tool higher, timber and paving. Don't waste time. Deuton's got the lot. Like Terales, porcelain, |

| 0:03.6 | Love it! |
| 0:04.4 | All trade prices exclude VAT at 20%. So now you can keep up with the Joneses. And the Evanses. And the Battles. Smackdown was in Montreal tonight. Great fans in Montreal. Very loud tonight. I mean, though they were really given not a whole lot of reasons to be so. |
| 0:40.1 | But they were in Montreal first Smackdown here coming out of Summer Slam. |
| 0:43.7 | And I have but one question to ask you. |
| 0:45.8 | How is it that this show went from three hours to two hours and somehow managed to get worse? |

| 1:11.5 | Out of nowhere, 48 hours before the main event on night two, they turned him baby face. |
| 1:17.8 | And I said I wasn't convinced that it was an actual baby face turn. |
| 1:22.0 | I thought that maybe there was something going on here, right? |
| 1:24.6 | This was so sudden. |
| 1:25.5 | It was so out of nowhere. |
| 1:26.7 | And to do it before |
| 1:27.5 | SummerSlam and not do it coming out of SummerSlam was a little weird to me. Now, in hindsight, |
| 1:33.1 | the match that we got with Cody and John Sina at SummerSlam was fantastic. It was the best |
| 1:37.7 | John Sina match in years. It was honestly the best John Sina match since he won number 16 against A.J. Stiles at the Royal Rumble in 2017. |
