3 things that worked on WWE Smackdown Oct. 1, 2015

Smackdown was filmed Tuesday and aired Thursday, as usual.Smackdown has been picking up lately, actually carrying some weight in the storylines instead of simply replaying or rehashing what happened on Raw. This week was no different, as advancements were made in three major stories that can be built upon during next week’s shows and into the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.Here’s a look at those big-ticket items as well as the future implications that are associated with them.

#1 Demon destruction

Unfortunately, Kane is back using this mask instead of his original one.

Since he returned at the end of Night of Champions, the Demon Kane has been after WWE Champion Seth Rollins. Still, it was unclear whether he was to be considered the heel or the face.

While that question isn't exactly settled, we do know where he stands after Smackdown. He laid waste to superstars on both sides of the aisle, from Rollins and New Day to the Dudley Boyz. Kane isn't a heel or a face when he changes out of his suit. He's a demon bent on destroying everything in his path
