#3: AJ Styles indirectly roasts Monday Night RAW during his promo

AJ Styles compared Daniel Bryan to a 'certain' champion over at Monday Night RAW

On last night's show, AJ Styles entered the ring and made his first major statement against Daniel Bryan after what the latter did to him one week before Survivor Series 2018.

The Phenomenal One initially talked about how the 14 days following his title loss have felt longer than the 300+ days he had been WWE Champion of the world.

As the promo went on, Styles questioned Daniel's loyalties to the brand as WWE Champion, and after missing last night's show to skipping live events, there was only one thing that AJ could say, "Sounds like to me someone has been watching RAW and getting ideas how they do things over there..."

Of course, the above statement was a direct jab towards Monday Night RAW, and more specifically, towards Brock Lesnar and Daniel Bryan at the same time. That is how you truly kill two birds (three, including Monday Night RAW) with one stone...

#2: The Bar's entrance featured a minor technical glitch

The Bar's entrance featured a glitch in the TitanTron video during last night's show

As you can clearly make out from the picture above, there was a technical glitch during Sheamus and Cesaro's entrance sequence on last night's show.

The massive TitanTron video froze during one of the most integral bits embedded into their entrance. While the video was restored and functioned quite normally following this minor glitch, it comes off as no surprise that WWE does fall prey to technical glitches from time-to-time, with the last major one occurring at the WWE Evolution Pay Per View last month.

Interestingly, if one watches the show carefully, then it is noticeable that SmackDown Live actually features a more polished production style that is quite appealing to the viewer's eye.

So this particular glitch does feel a little out of place, even if it is nowhere as near as atrocious when it comes to major WWE glitches we have seen throughout this year.

#1: The Miz-New Day backstage bit masked "The Marine 6" cheap promotion vibes perfectly

SmackDown Live has a unique way of making cheap promotion look comically acceptable!

The Miz was on fire during last night's episode. He purposefully went overboard during his backstage segment with Shane McMahon as The Miz's new avatar portrays him to be the same self-entitled person with a different, tricky approach to the people who surround him.

We all know that this is just one of Miz's ploys meant to turn everything into his own personal gain. However, the writers had been sneaking cheap 'Marine 6' promotional bits throughout different instances in the same episode.

For example, his comical backstage segment with The New Day to set-up his match with Kofi later on in the episode was nothing but an entertaining Marine 6 advertisement when you think about it.

The Miz refers to his fans as "The Mariners", as The New Day use his embarrassing loss from last week in order to spin the story forward. The New Day also keep the viewers hooked by purposefully referring to the movie as "The Marine 6: Close Quarters starring Becky Lynch". Of course, the segment only ends with everyone realizing that Big E's character had indeed watched the movie all along, hence, proving that he had been a 'mariner' after all!

The writers deserve some credit here for plugging a movie and pushing the story forward at the same time.
