2 Things WWE did right and 2 things they did wrong on SmackDown Live (16 July 2019)

#1 Did wrong: The WWE Champion got pinned

Randy Orton returned to SmackDown Live this week. The Viper's last match was at Super ShowDown where he defeated Triple H. Following the show in Saudi Arabia, the thirteen-time WWE Champion skipped Stomping Grounds and Extreme Rules. Since SummerSlam is the second biggest pay-per-view of Vince McMahon's company, WWE might have big plans for Randy Orton.

A six-man tag team match was held on SmackDown Live this week. While Daniel Bryan didn't reveal his career-altering decision, the New Day was confronted by Samoa Joe, Elias and Randy Orton. After an interesting segment between the six men, they faced each other in a tag team match. Randy Orton made a gigantic statement on the blue brand this week as The Viper pinned the WWE Champion Kofi Kingston.

Since winning the most coveted prize of the blue brand, Kingston held an unbeaten streak in WWE. Though he hasn't lost a singles match, he got pinned by Samoa Joe in a tag team match on RAW. We saw the same scenario on SmackDown Live this week when Orton pinned Kingston. Considering SummerSlam is just three weeks away, it is certainly not a good sign if the WWE Champion gets pinned.
