For all the scrutiny SmackDown has gotten since moving to FOX, the quality of the show is pretty damn good with WWE settling into its new home. The show is starting to feel more like an actual sporting event, as promised. My hypothesis is… this is due to the pace of the show slowing down and not feeling so frantic, as is the case with some other wrestling/sports entertainment programs.
It’s very hard for one to tell whether Daniel Bryan is a face or heel in his rivalry with Bray Wyatt. He is so introverted, maybe he’s going after tweener territory, which might be a good spot for him at this point in his career.
The blue Universal Championship to match the color of SmackDown (even though I personally think red suits the character of The Fiend better).
Maybe Vince McMahon will wind up changing Shorty G’s name back to Chad Gable in several months like he just did with Ali by adding the “Mustafa” back into his name.
Side Note: I will not be writing about next week’s go-home episode of SD before Survivor Series because I travel to Philadelphia.
