Best and worst of SmackDown Live- 15th January 2019

SmackDown Live certainly had a few hit and miss moments

#2 Worst: Cancelled match?

While this wouldn't have set the world on fire, I'm surprised the match was shelved

I mentioned how SmackDown Live is an easier show to watch because it is an hour short. Because of the same reason, sometimes a lot of planned segments do not make it to the show. Sonya Deville and Carmella set social media on fire with their Twitter war but sadly, did not get a chance to play out their feud in the ring.

I know that this isn't the biggest loss in the world, from a viewer's perspective. But this was a heavily promoted match from SmackDown Live, as I mentioned in my 'Preview' last night. It was a shame to see these two women miss out on such a big opportunity.

Especially because they took the time to build their feud on Twitter. How many superstars do that for a TV match?
