LIVE NOTES & DARK MATCH RESULTS FROM SMACKDOWN IN BUFFALO, NY

By Dave M. on 2022-12-02 23:39:00

The arena  was about 90% full. The upper sections were tarped off.

-Dark match saw Shinsuke Nakamura defeat Drew Gulak in a very back and forth match.

-Sami was really over with the crowd...I mean really over. Sheamus seemed to be playing the heel.

-No reaction to Shayna coming out. She needs something to get over.

-There were a lot of "Buffalo" chants due to some of the Buffalo Bills in attendance.

-When Braun came out the place went crazy.

-The main event was exciting and the audience was really into it with really loud USA chants. Ricochet got a lot of "You Deserve It" chants at the end. All the high flying looked amazing in person.

-Dark Match main event was advertised on TV and numerous emails even today in an email from WWE to be the Usos vs. Street Profits. Instead we got Braun Strowman, Riddle, Madcap Moss and Liv Morgan defeating Damien Priest, Zelina Vega, Joaquin Wilde, and Cruz Del Toro. Most of the match was the heels all beating up on Madcap until Braun came in and cleaned house. The match actually went on for about 15 minutes.

-There were a lot of people complaining on walking out (and I take the train which is packed from the arena) that there were no "really big stars" No Roman, Drew, Rhonda. Only shown in videos that could have been recorded anywhere were Bray Wyatt and Karrion Kross. and only 4 matches.

-Merchandise stands  were packed all night with mostly Bloodline items being bought

-No return dates announced
