Best and Worst of SmackDown Live- 12 June, 2018

#4 Best/worst: Pancakes in the briefcase

The Miz was the special guest referee in the match between Rusev and Samoa Joe. After the match, he climbed the ladder and retrieved the Money in the Bank contract, bringing it to the announcer's desk. Only, there was no contract inside. Instead, there were pancakes.

I don't know how to feel about New Day and the 'pancake' gimmick, really. I admit I did chuckle. But the air of seriousness that should exist around Money in the Bank is sadly missing currently.

The pancakes hide the fact that all three competitors are world class athletes. The pancakes could be the reason that the Tag Team Division on SmackDown Live was never taken as seriously as it should have been.

Which member of The New Day do you see competing at Money in the Bank?
