"Trick Williams Makes Impactful Main Roster Debut on WWE SmackDown"

This week's SmackDown was overshadowed by Vince McMahon's resignation, but the show went on with a focus on The Bloodline's story and a standout performance by Trick Williams. Roman Reigns was absent, leaving Randy Orton and AJ Styles to hype their Fatal 4-Way match at Royal Rumble. The main event saw Styles betray The Bloodline, leading to a chaotic final segment. Other highlights included the debut of Elektra Lopez and the Kabuki Warriors winning the women's tag team titles. Despite the distractions, the show was entertaining with a great crowd, earning a grade of B+.
