WWE SmackDown: 3 Surprises from this week’s episode (May 14, 2019)

After an extremely eventful episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE tried to keep the fire burning on SmackDown Live this week right before the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

With the introduction of the wild-card rule, the creatives have found a way to keep the action concentrated on a special few superstars and those who are going to be a part of the MITB event on Sunday. This has led to many deserving superstars being left out of the action, as the same men have been taking the center stage on Mondays and Tuesdays.

With that said, the creatives still managed to do a good job to build hype around the MITB event and keep fans guessing.

On this week’s SmackDown Live, the creatives ended up making two big mistakes and sent one major surprise which could mean a lot come Sunday.

Check out the 3 shocking mistakes and surprises from this week’s episode, and share your views on the show in the comments section.

#3 Ordinary match, extraordinary superstars

Just like every other main roster show in the past couple of week’s, WWE chose its premier male superstar Roman Reigns to kick off proceedings on SmackDown Live.

After a good segment involving men like Reigns, The Miz, Elias, Shane McMahon, The Usos, and the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Shane decided to book a handicap match for the night.

Roman Reigns and The Usos vs. Shane McMahon, Elias, Daniel Bryan, and Rowan was set for the night, and fans expected the match to be epic considering the talent involved.

While the match itself was not surprising, it was the action that took place that was. With The Best in the World and six other Superstars involved, the match was surprisingly not as good as one would have expected it to be. There were a few high spots, but otherwise, the bout remained mediocre.

With The Usos, Daniel Bryan, and Reigns sharing a ring, one would have expected the match to be A-grade at least and give a great promo of what’s to come on Sunday.
