Smackdown was a little disappointing show last week comparing some of the previous weeks. It did not feature any good matches but it had some good things to offer too. They built up two top heels; Kevin Owens and Jinder Mahal.
Some fans are still not taking Jinder as a serious deal. Maybe he is not much of a serious deal, but the guy can draw heat. He can deliver good promos and capable of giving good matches. So we think we should give him a chance. He is doing a good job so far and hopefully, he will become better.
Talking about Kevin Owens, last week he did not feature in the best of his career of course but it cemented his legacy as the top heel of the company. His assault on Chris Jericho last week after the end of their match showed how good he could be as the top heel of the company. Now, his next feud with AJ Styles will be really interesting to see.
Without any doubt, AJ Styles is the top babyface of not only Smackdown but the whole company. What better can you expect than having a feud the top babyface of the company and the top heel of the company? And when the feud is built for the mid card title, you can clearly understand how well the mid card division is being built.
Next, we need to talk about the about the Women’s division. Last week, they started a faction warfare between the six women. This can be an excellent feud. The storyline is really good so far, and it can be a top notch storyline if executed well. There is a rumour that there will be a six-woman tag team match at Backlash. What we personally think about this, Naomi should drop the title before this match. If the title gets carried by someone from the heel side (preferably Natalya), it will be more interesting to watch. And Naomi should not be the one to lead the babyface side. It should be either Becky or Charlotte.
And lastly, we move on to the feud between Sami Zayn and Baron Corbin. It should be a good mid card feud. And most importantly, Sami needs to win some matches. He is turning out to be a jobber which is not accepted. He is a potential main eventer, and no matter who wins this feud, he should be built as a stronger wrestler. If the same story continues at Smackdown, then what is the point of having him traded to the blue side?
