Best and Worst of SmackDown Live- 2 October, 2018

#1 Worst: No Styles or Joe this week

This just felt like a less important show because the two main performers were not present

If you read this column regularly, you'll know how much I praised the Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles segment last week. I was waiting for the aftermath of the segment this week, and was informed at the very start of the show that AJ Styles will not be at the arena, this week. I'm sure this turned off a lot of the viewers right from the go. It seemed like Creative ran out of good ideas.

Have The WWE Champion AJ Styles Live Via Satellite on The Go Home Show of Smackdown Live before Super Showdown, Not cool. #SDLive

I just wish there was more heat heading into this big match. Maybe another week of making things personal could have possibly worked wonders.
