5 Superstars who impressed on this week's SmackDown (29th November 2019)

This week's SmackDown was pretty great in terms of storytelling and feud building, but not so much in terms of pure wrestling action. This Friday night was all about WWE's Universal Champion The Fiend Bray Wyatt as he carried the whole show on his back.

The episode started with Roman Reigns addressing SmackDown's performance at Survivor Series and then beating Robert Roode in a singles match. The Big Dog then went on to destroy both Dolph Ziggler and Roode.

After that, we saw The Firefly Fun House episode in which Wyatt revealed The Fiend's customized Universal Championship. Furthermore, after beating Mandy Rose in singles action, Nikki Cross was attacked by Fire & Desire and a returning Alexa Bliss made the save.

Moreover, The New Day managed to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Titles against Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro. Two more Superstars returned this week, namely Elias and Sheamus. The former teased an on-screen pairing with Dana Brooke, while the latter teased a revamped character.

Last but not the least, Daniel Bryan accepted Bray Wyatt's challenge to a match for the Universal Championship, before The Fiend attacked the leader of the Yes Movement.

With all that in mind, let's take a look at the five Superstars who impressed on this week's episode of the Blue brand:

#5 Alexa Bliss

Well, the Goddess Alexa Bliss is back and there's no easy way to describe how much SmackDown needed her. Her return wasn't expected this week but it did happen as she saved her best friend Nikki Cross from a potential beatdown at the hands of Fire & Desire.

Bliss didn't miss a beat as she looked better than ever and every move of her inside the ring was on point. The Goddess has returned as a babyface, it seems and women babyfaces are somewhat rare on the Blue brand.

#4 Sheamus

Finally, this week on SmackDown, we saw a minute and a half long promo package of a returning Sheamus. From its initial looks, it seems the Celtic Warrior will return with a different gimmick, which seemingly rules out a pairing with Cesaro.

Maybe we will get to see the old Sheamus back, that is the Sheamus of the early 2010s. Nevertheless, the crowd was really happy to see him and he could be an important member for SmackDown on FOX.

Sheamus excelled with his promo work in the short video this week and we can't wait to see him back in a WWE ring.

#3 Roman Reigns

Despite the negative reviews the feud between Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin has received, The Big Dog, as he always does, has been trying his hardest to make this work. His promo work at the start of the show was great and so was his in-ring performance.

One thing that everyone should recognize about Roman is that his promo work has improved rapidly and that he is being cheered by the WWE Universe again. Right now, there's only one thing missing, that is a good storyline for The Big Dog.

#2 Daniel Bryan

There has to be a special mention in this part; The Miz and Daniel Bryan are doing their jobs of making The Fiend look like an otherworldly demon. Daniel Bryan's character change has been intriguing to watch over the past couple of weeks and it still is.

This week, Bryan not only accepted Bray Wyatt's challenge but he also took a Mandible Claw towards the very end of the show and The Fiend then took him inside the ring and pulled out what looked like Bryan's hair.

This feud is set to continue at TLC and we can't wait to see what's in store for the Leader of the Yes Movement.

#1 The Fiend Bray Wyatt

Whenever Bray Wyatt makes multiple appearances on SmackDown, the quality of the show rises incredibly. This week's episode was all about The Fiend, his new toy and the revealing of the 'new face' on the Firefly Fun House.

Nevertheless, we aren't complaining one bit as one doesn't need an excuse to watch the genius of Wyatt on a TV screen.
