2 things WWE got right and 2 blunders they made on RAW and SmackDown Live this week (5 & 6 August 2019)

We witnessed two stellar episodes before SummerSlam. The company carried the impressive run from last week and managed to offer a good episode. In all honesty, RAW toppled SmackDown Live this week. As expected, some new matches were confirmed for SummerSlam this week.

Two titles changed hands on RAW, as The IIconics lost the Women's Tag Team Titles. Maria Kanellis also lost the 24/7 Title. Ricochet teamed up with the New Day to fight The OC, and Andrade and Rey Mysterio delivered an impressive match.

On the Blue Brand, Ziggler defeated Ali to build momentum and Natalya fought Ember Moon. While Finn Balor skipped SmackDown Live, Bray Wyatt offered another episode of the Firefly Fun House.

Following RAW and SmackDown Live, a few matches could get finalized for SummerSlam. It will be interesting to see if WWE announces some new bouts on social media. Let's check 2 things WWE did right and 2 things WWE didn't do right this week.

#2 Blunder: New Women's Tag Team Champions were crowned

The Women's Tag Team Titles changed hands last week when Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross became the new champions. While it could be a breath of fresh air, it was certainly not a good decision before SummerSlam. A Fatal 4-Way Elimination Tag Team Match took place to crown the new champions this week. The IIconics defended to twin belts against The Kabuki Warriors, Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville, and Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross.

The IIconics won the titles at the Showcase of Immortals but they didn't defend the titles regularly. As a matter of fact, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay never put the belts on the line in a pay-per-view.

Though they were not fighting champions, WWE should have waited a couple of more days to crown new champions. In my humble opinion, the match should have taken place at SummerSlam instead of RAW.

It didn't make sense to give us new Women's Tag Team Champions just before the big show on Sunday. Moreover, the twin belts could have been on the line for the first time in a pay-per-view after WrestleMania 35.

#2 Right: Goldberg's shocking appearance

There is no denying that Goldberg's appearance was one of the best moments this week. The former Universal Champion will be part of SummerSlam, where he will take on Dolph Ziggler. It was the first appearance of Goldberg following the match against The Undertaker at Super ShowDown.

The Miz was scheduled to face Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam but the scenario altered this week. While the two men were present to sign the contract, we saw a major twist. Though the Show-off signed the contract, the A-Lister didn't do it as he proposed a new SummerSlam opponent for Ziggler. Since Shawn Michaels was present during the contract signing, many people speculated Michaels be the new opponent but he refused it.

Goldberg's music hit and the WCW legend came out. Prior to this week, Ziggler was taking shots at Goldberg. Following a dismal performance in Saudi Arabia, Goldberg will be aiming to turn it around in Toronto. If WWE doesn't book it as a squash match, it could turn out to be a good match.

#1 Blunder: Sami Zayn and Aleister Black fought before SummerSlam

The stage is set for the Biggest Show of the Summer. and several big matches are set for the show. Just five days before the show, a blockbuster match took place on SmackDown Live. Aleister Black faced Sami Zayn in a singles match, and it was certainly the best bout of the night. While the match sounded like a good idea, WWE could have saved the match for SummerSlam.

Last week, Sami Zayn called out Black, and the latter answered it this week. Since the two men are extremely dexterous in the ring, they delivered a stupendous match. Following a devastating Black Mass, Black managed to pin Zayn.

With just two days left for SummerSlam, it will be interesting to see whether we get to see a rematch in Toronto. If Black and Zayn are booked well for the show, they could tear the house down.

#1 Right: Buddy Murphy revealed the mysterious attacker of Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns, who was attacked twice on RAW and SmackDown Live, promised to find out the mysterious attacker. Last week, the Big Dog survived a massive accident as a colossal steel structure almost crushed him. However, he was unhurt. We witnessed a similar scenario on the red brand this week when Reigns's car was hit by another car, but the assaulter drove away. While the previous attack probably looked like a mishap, the RAW segment made clear that it wasn't.

Reigns survived a car attack at the parking lot area on RAW. The former Universal Champion was desperate to find out the unknown attacker on Smackdown this week, and he questioned Buddy Murphy. Since the former Cruiserweight was spotted during the attack last week, he was an easy suspect, but Murphy refused to name the attacker.

Reigns showed an aggressive side of his character when he attacked Murphy, and the latter mentioned the name of Rowan. It is ambiguous why Rowan attacked Reigns. It was certainly one of the most notable segments of SmackDown Live and the storyline has provoked interest. Considering Reigns is a titanic name, he is unlikely to miss SummerSlam, so he could manage to get a match in Toronto.
