I love that SmackDown has become a show that increasingly leans towards film structure more often than not these days.

Maybe that has already been that way in bits and parts before, but since their jump to FOX, you can see how some feuds, especially those involving Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns follow cinematic plots in their unique ways.

When Roman Reigns was tied up and covered in dog food at the end of last week's SmackDown, you knew that beating only added fuel to Roman Reigns' burning rage against King Corbin.

He is almost being portrayed as John Wick, who always takes out everyone in his path to accomplish something, no matter how bad it gets for him in between.

Similarly, Reigns came out to a huge pop on last night's episode to save Kofi from the clutches of King Corbin and his goons.

Everything gradually built up towards that moment at the end, where Reigns singlehandedly - for the most part - took out Ziggler and The Revival one-by-one.

After throwing Ziggler off a ladder on to the announcer's table, the camera panned to the story's villain in utter disbelief. As the episode closed out to The Big Dog's triumphant payback, the message became clear: Corbin might have escaped for the time being, but at TLC, there is no better way to close out this chapter with Reigns finally overthrowing the King at last.

Tables, Ladders and Chairs are ALL legal.This could be you on Sunday, KING @BaronCorbinWWE. #SmackDown #WWETLC @HEELZiggler @WWERomanReigns pic.twitter.com/O3YJk0bixW
