Following an action-packed Money in the Bank, WWE delivered a great episode of RAW. The anticipation was high for SmackDown Live this week, and the company did not let down the fans. We saw a blockbuster edition of the blue brand with some stupendous segments and impressive matches.

The company already announced the celebration of Big E's return but it was cut short by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Kofi Kingston and Sami Zayn locked horns as the latter lost the bout. However, a big shock came after the match when Dolph Ziggler assaulted Kofi Kingston.

The recently crowned SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley and RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch teamed up to take one Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans. The two champions won the tag team match, and Bayley managed to pin Charlotte.

Ali pinned Andrade, while Roman Reigns defeated Elias in a rematch of Money in the Bank. The new 24/7 Champion R-Truth was chased by a number of Superstars on SmackDown Live.

It was an good episode of the blue brand and here we discuss things WWE secretly told us on SmackDown Live this week.

Bayley had a memorable night at Money in the Bank, where she won the Money in the Bank briefcase and the SmackDown Women's Title. She overcame seven other women in the ladder match, while the Hugger pinned Charlotte Flair to win the blue belt. Her impressive run continued this week as she pinned Charlotte Flair again in a tag team match. Bayley's performance in the last few days proves that she is set to get a gigantic push as a Champion.

Bayley was a huge name in NXT, where she won the NXT Women's Championship. Besides winning the belt, the Hugger offered several awe-inspiring matches. She carried her momentum on the main roster when she won the RAW Women's Title but she lost her way after losing the belt.

The title victory has rejuvenated Bayley's career and she is expected to have an impressive title reign. The current SmackDown Women's Champion pinned Charlotte Flair twice in 48 hours. We could witness a spectacular rivalry between Bayley and Charlotte in the next few weeks.

#2 The 24/7 Title can be entertaining

The new 24/7 Championship has been the highlight of the week. The company announced at Money in the Bank that a new title would be unveiled on RAW. Mick Foley introduced the new title, and we already have three champions. Considering the title will be defended 24 hours, it has garnered the attention of WWE Universe.

Earlier, Titus O'Neil and Robert Roode grabbed the title before R-Truth won it from the latter. R-Truth brought the belt on SmackDown Live and he had a hard time on the blue brand. With the help of Carmella, R-Truth managed to escape the arena but he was chased by a number of Superstars.

The current champion was chased by Apollo Crews, B-Team, Jinder Mahal, Matt Hardy, Brian Kendrick and many more. As a matter of fact, The B-Team members attempted to pin R-Truth but the latter managed to escape.

The title has certainly elevated the Superstars of mid-card. There is no denying that the lower mid-card Superstars have been neglected for a long time, but the scenario could alter after the introduction of 24/7 Title. It will be interesting to see if we get a new champion next week.

#1 Roman Reigns has to overcome several obstacles

Roman Reigns took SmackDown Live by storm after arriving on the blue brand. Reigns fought Elias at Money in the Bank, where the Big Dog defeated the Drifter easily. The former Universal Champion is scheduled to face Shane McMahon at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia.

Since the introduction of the Wild Card Rule, Roman Reigns has been a regular member of both brands. Reigns' feud with McMahon family began after an attack on Vince McMahon. Shane McMahon, who is the son of Vince McMahon, attacked the Big Dog multiple times.

As a matter of fact, Shane also tried to attack Reigns on SmackDown this week when the Big Dog pinned Elias. However, Reigns countered with a Superman Punch but he was subsequently taken down by Wild Card entrant Drew McIntyre.

Shane McMahon has Elias and Drew McIntyre by his side, while Reigns has Miz. However, the Big Dog was alone on the blue brand this week and he might need to cross some hurdles. The rivalry has become 3-on-1 battle and Reigns has an insurmountable task to do in Saudi Arabia.
