Best and worst of WWE SmackDown before Survivor Series- AJ Styles insults CM Punk, Dream feud teased
The go-home show before Survivor Series certainly had some good. It was put together in such a manner that the only highlighted portions showcased the matches in the pay-per-view, instead of being crammed with filler material as SmackDown often is.
But somehow, there were a lot of parts that were quite underwhelming as well. I just think that we've seen so many invasions and so many brawls over the past few weeks from WWE SmackDown, NXT, and RAW that the basic concept has lost all its appeal.
That said, I want to invite you guys to weigh in as well as I separate the best from the worst this week. Also, because your opinions matter, I want to invite you guys to rate all the matches from SmackDown this week at this particular link.
I'm waiting to hear your take and your opinions, ladies, and gentlemen!
#1 Best: The Fiend stops the 'Yes!' movement from even getting underway during Miz vs. Bryan
Even though the crowd was especially cold this week when The Fiend showed up, I thought that the timing was brilliant, in the overall contest of the storyline. The lights went out at one point earlier, but The Fiend never showed up until the tail-end of the Miz vs. Daniel Bryan match this week.
Daniel Bryan was on the verge of bringing the 'Yes!' movement back and it was exactly at that point that The Fiend showed up exactly where The Miz had been a few moments ago. It could have been a scene out of a movie, with the way that it was choreographed, and I have to commend WWE for the way that they have been booking their Universal Champion. They're doing things differently and honestly speaking, I dig it!
