Best And Worst of SmackDown Live- 23 Oct, 2018

SmackDown Live wasn't nearly as exciting an episode as RAW

#1 Worst: The battle royal preview

I just found all the women mixing it up in the ring, quite silly

Every time WWE has to promote a Battle Royal, they carry out an angle like this. And somehow, it does not get me excited for the actual match.

This is because just throwing a mass of bodies in the ring and having them slug it out is not exciting at all. I'd rather have different stories leading up to culminate in a big match.

I did like the fact that it was Asuka who got the last laugh in this segment when all was said and done. It must mean that WWE has faith in her to be a top performer yet again. But then again, does winning a battle royal with no reward really mean anything at all?

I did pop for Carmella doing the whole 'dance break' routine at one point.
