#4 Lack of storylines
Initially, there were many storylines going on in SmackDown Live. Currently, there are very few storylines going on. The Ziggler storyline is very vague and it is just going on in the background, there is the Shinsuke- Styles storyline which will take off very soon and Zayn- Owens storyline. SmackDown Live's storylines lack punch. It is not as fresh and consistent as RAW. But, we can’t deny the fact that SmackDown Live hosts good matches but storylines are also required to run a show.
Storylines are very important to run a show. Already SmackDown Live lacks star players, if it doesn’t have good storylines then it is gone for a toss. This is one of the main reasons why Smackdown Live is the ‘B’ show and RAW is the ‘A’ show
