The April 25 episode of Friday Night SmackDown closed with a wild TLC match that lived up to its billing—and then some. According to Fightful Select, the match received glowing internal feedback, with sources calling it “incredible” and expected to be a post-WrestleMania highlight.
Produced by Jamie Noble and Kenny Dykstra, the bout included brutal sequences and innovative spots, yet somehow, all competitors walked away without injury. That fact alone added to the backstage respect the match received.
The bout featured the Street Profits defending their titles against DIY and Motor City Machine Guns in what quickly became more of a war than a traditional ladder match. There was little focus on climbing early, with the teams opting for maximum destruction instead. Highlights included Tommaso Ciampa hitting White Noise through a ladder at ringside and the Motor City Machine Guns connecting with Skull & Bones through a table.
Ultimately, Montez Ford outlasted the chaos, knocking his opponents off the ladder to retain the gold for the Street Profits.
The praise for Noble and Dykstra reinforces why they continue to be entrusted with WWE’s most unpredictable matches. As for the teams involved, their performances may have solidified their cases for more spotlight moving forward.
