So, Buddy Murphy didn’t “lie” when he admitted to Roman Reigns that he saw Rowan in the area of the Reigns attack. What he didn’t realize was that he saw someone who looked exactly like Rowan but was not actually him. WWE may want to seriously consider extending this storyline involving Roman Reigns attacker, having the final reveal on SmackDown’s premiere episode on the Fox network on October 4. This will provide significant suspense to this story if it is built correctly, making the debut episode of SmackDown on Fox truly epic. Perhaps for the time being leading up to that, a match between Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns could be orchestrated to take place at Clash of Champions.

The primary thing that stood out from this week’s SD Live was Buddy Murphy’s standout victory over Daniel Bryan. First of all, the former Cruiserweight Champion has to be viewed in a very favorable light by WWE management if his first two TV matches on SD Live were against two top superstars in the company: Reigns and Bryan. It’s not a bad situation to beat Daniel Bryan in your second televised match on the main roster. Buddy Murphy is a name to definitely keep an eye on because he clearly has massive star potential.

Sami Zayn is positioned in a weird spot right now. I really don’t think WWE has much of an idea what they are doing with him at this point. His solution to the losing streak he has been on for the last several months is to stop competing altogether (so he is calling it quits for right now). He is focusing on altruism by becoming a mouthpiece for Shinsuke Nakamura in another attempt by the company to get Shinsuke over (I will give WWE credit for maintaining persistence and patience with Nakamura). He also attacked The Miz so perhaps this will lead to an intercontinental Championship match between Shinsuke and Miz at Clash of Champions.

The Revival is making great strides towards becoming an entertaining tag team in WWE; they just needed a little time to get their bearings. WWE has also booked the storyline to make perfect sense for The Revival to challenge The New Day for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at Clash of Champions because they have formed an alliance with Randy Orton. Randy is already challenging Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship. This is a great way to intertwine the story involving these six men. Also, a potential feud to keep your eye on in the future is between Apollo Crews or Andrade and Ricochet.
