5 Good/5 Bad - WWE Smackdown Live - July 26th 2016

A new era of Smackdown began this week

#3 Bad - All too familiar

One of the worst things about Smackdown before the draft was that it felt like a watered-down version of Raw and often showcased rematches and re-aired similar segments that had happened in the days prior to it.

If you were hoping that this would change post-draft, I’ve got some bad news for you; it hasn’t.

Not only did we get Randy Orton on Miz TV, just 2 days after he appeared on Chris Jericho’s ‘Highlight Reel’, we also got a rematch from Sunday’s Battleground in Becky Lynch vs Natalya.

Smackdown’s shortcomings seem to be sticking with them when they have no reason to; the new era of Smackdown promised new matches and new superstars given opportunities, yet on the first night, they already failed in living up to this.

Not a great start for Tuesday Night’s new show.
