WWE SmackDown Live 23rd August 2016: 5 Points to Note

Orton made it to SmackDown, scarred from Summerslam

This was a good show. Almost great. It debuted a few things and got most of the character work on point. Two hours is really helping the viewer take in as much content put out and the stories are seamlessly moving ahead. Smackdown is really growing into the better brand. The live aspect, the 2-hour aspect, the aspect of having new titles and a rejuvenated women's’ and tag division is really helping the show. Also, the extra added bit is a little brand battle that is already happening with Shane McMahon on the move to settle the score with Brock Lesnar.

Here are the 5 points to note from this week's show.
