SmackDown Live certainly had a few hit and miss moments

#3 Best: Happy birthday Shane McMahon

The birthday bash turned out to be better than I anticipated

I haven't been the biggest fan of the skits between The Miz and Shane McMahon before this week's episode. They had the main event spot and I honestly thought to myself that it will be a dud.

It surprisingly turned out to be much better than I expected it to be. I actually care about the team after this week's show.

Also, I love The Miz as a babyface. The crowd has come to respect the man and everything he has done in the ring. It's so great to see how far he has come and how much the crowd loves him.

But the icing on the cake, no pun intended, has to be the Coast to Coast on the cake. I interviewed Sheamus a few hours ago and I find it hilarious that he's caked, no pun intended again, in Shane McMahon's boot print.
