3 Interesting observations from this week's SmackDown Live (January 15, 2019)

#1 Is SmackDown Live a wide variety of TV Shows disguised as a wrestling programme?

SmackDown certainly represents a wide variety of themes in a span of two hours every week

Last night's SmackDown Live was bizarre and certainly news-worthy. Episodes like these are the ones that make us contemplate about the bigger questions.

First of all, it is pretty apparent that SmackDown Live features a wider scope and more room for experimentation when compared to Monday Night RAW. SmackDown Live will move to FOX network as part of a five-year contract that begins on October 4, 2019. This also means that the show actually has to be compelling enough in order to draw more viewers.

Over the past year, many hardcore fans even put SmackDown Live over RAW simply because the former show tried to incorporate new things step-by-step.

Sometimes, the show features soap-operatic moments over pure wrestling (like last night's segment involving Mandy Rose). SmackDown Live has also relied on a lot of humour each and every week. The wrestling part of a 'wrestling show' seems to fade away as these secondary elements take over. But then again, we also witnessed Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade last night, which is a matchup that has fascinated a lot of fans too.

Comedy, promos and innovative segments sometimes overshadow the 'wrestling' aspect of a 'wrestling show'. But in this case, SmackDown Live seems to have struck a chord with the viewers by adopting this unconventional approach, and then there's Becky Lynch...

SmackDown Live is a wide variety of TV Shows, and wrestling just so happens to be a part of it.
