2 things WWE got right on SmackDown Live and two blunders they made

#2 Got right: Buddy Murphy's in-ring debut on SmackDown Live

On the back of a social media challenge from Buddy Murphy, WWE announced a match between Murphy and Roman Reigns on SmackDown Live this week. Murphy, who is a former Cruiserweight Champion, arrived on the Blue Brand after the Superstar Shake-up.

Despite being on SmackDown Live for a long time, he never competed on the main roster but the scenario altered this week as squared off against Roman Reigns.

There is no denying that Murphy is immensely talented and even though Murphy lost his first match on the Blue Brand, he certainly made a big statement this week. The Australian Superstar went toe-to-toe with the Big Dog, in a match which provided unmatched entertainment.

Judging by the match, it's safe to say that Murphy could become a big name on the blue brand anytime soon.

#1 Blunder: A bizarre ending to the Kevin Owens v Samoa Joe match

Kevin Owens managed to save his WWE career when he beat Shane McMahon at SummerSlam. The former Universal opened the show as he expressed his happiness on having pinned Shane McMahon before which McMahon walked out and fined Owens a hefty amount for his assault on guest referee Elias at SummerSlam.

Shane selected Samoa Joe to face Kevin Owens on SmackDown Live this week. Considering Both Owens and Joe are dexterous in the squared circle, we were expecting an awe-inspiring bout, but it didn't happen. Elias was appointed the special guest enforcer and the match ended in a disappointing manner on the back of a fast count which saw Owens losing the match.
