Best and worst of SmackDown LIVE: April 4, 2017
SmackDown was a solid show with many surprises, but truth be told it was one of the weaker shows from this weekend in Orlando. Maybe, the weakest!
That said, there were still enough mark-out moments across the episode, to give it a thumbs up rating. There were NXT call-ups, a culmination of old feuds, epic returns, and even a good old-fashioned street fight. It was the perfect way to end a long weekend of wrestling and make us look forward to the ‘superstar shake up’ next week. But first, it’s time to look back at the ‘Best and Worst’ from this week’s episode of SmackDown LIVE.
#1 Best: The Wyatt Family is still quite alive
After an injury put Erick Rowan on the shelf, Randy Orton entered the Wyatt family and caused tension within the ranks, leading to its eventual dissolution. This week, Rowan was back in a very cool looking mask and he blindsided Orton leading to the higher ups booking a tag team match in the main event of the show. It is customary to have stars return on the Raw after WrestleMania, and we're glad to see that SmackDown is also following suit. Sadly, it exposed the biggest negative, on SmackDown LIVE.
