#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.
