The short-lived WWE Network exclusive show gave Renee Young and the then-retired Bryan the opportunity to bring the best of the Blue Brand's roster when they were on the mic with no script.

Baron Corbin, The Usos, The Miz and more managed to get the WWE Universe talking because of this show. However, it wasn't just the guests. Renee Young and Daniel Bryan had pretty incredible chemistry together, with the two openly joking with one another in between, and sometimes during segments.
Looking back at the first year of the brand split, part of what made SmackDown better than RAW was their third hour on the WWE Network, where the two hosts brought out the best in their guests.
