In comparison to last week’s edition of Smackdown Live, the creative heads of the show came up with a far better show, this week. The opening segment was good considering Daniel Bryan getting a thunderous reaction from his home crowd. When it comes to getting cheers from the audience, no one does it better than this man does.
Also, the segment between him and Sami Zayn-Kevin Owens was pretty good. The heel duo went on to blast the GM for his incapability of competing inside the ring. This is quite interesting as superstars continue to go after him with the same reason when he actually can’t retaliate on his own.
Good opening segment. Bryan got a great reaction and the crowd was on his side throughout. They need to stop having Zayn dance. #SDLive

Jinder Mahal returned to Smackdown after one week’s hiatus and fetched the attention, yet again. He issued an open challenge to Brock Lesnar for the Survivor Series PPV. It should be a champion vs champion bout at the main event.
So they really are going with Jinder Mahal and Brock Lesnar at #SurvivorSeries. That’ll be interesting no doubt. #SDLive

Plus, we got a little tease about the upcoming championship scenario on the show. It was AJ Styles who had a confrontation with the Maharaja. This indicated that the Phenomenal One might be the next one to challenge him for the title.
All in all, this was a pretty good episode of #SDLive. Big news with the Mahal challenge of Lesnar, a good opener, and a good main event.

The main event also witnessed an exciting outcome after Sami Zayn got a clean pinfall win against Randy Orton. This is another hint that the creative team is finally elevating the underdog from the underground to the next level. Overall, it turned out to be a decent show with the initial hype up of Survivor Series. Check out the twitter reactions from this week’s Smackdown,
