AI-Generated Summary

KMV, the 'sexy ninja' of the Paper Saber Universe, delivers a scathing review of WWE SmackDown from April 10, 2026, held at the SAP Center in San Jose. He criticizes the show for failing to build momentum toward WrestleMania, calling the storytelling bland and overly reliant on celebrity insertions like Jelly Roll and Lil Yachty. While he praises the standout match between Dan Housen and Kit Williams as the 'match of the night'—highlighting its absurd humor and pyro mishaps—he expresses frustration with the lack of meaningful feuds, particularly the underwhelming main event between Jade and Io. He also laments the sidelining of strong talents like Carmelo Hayes and Matt Cardona, advocating for more impactful storytelling and a comeback arc for Cardona. Despite the chaos and wasted potential, KMV remains energized by the broader wrestling landscape, especially events like Dynasty, Double or Nothing, and the anticipated Will Ospreay moment, which he says now excite him more than WWE’s WrestleMania card.

Key Takeaways
1

Cut the celebrity fluff—Jelly Roll and Lil Yachty don’t belong in WWE storylines.

2

Matt Cardona deserves a major push and a heavyweight title shot after his indie legacy.

3

The Dan Housen vs. Kit Williams match was the only highlight of the night—absurd, funny, and perfectly chaotic.

4

The Cody vs. Randy Orton feud was ruined by unnecessary celebrity distractions and poor pacing.

5

WrestleMania is still hyped, but SmackDown’s three-hour runtime and weak booking are killing the momentum.
