5 Reasons why NXT invading SmackDown was best for business

#1 Gave us a big Championship match

Brock Lesnar, who?

With Shinsuke Nakamura and The Revival not being able to return from Saudi Arabia, and Brock Lesnar already defending his WWE Championship at Crown Jewel, there seemed like there was no way a Championship match for the men’s roster could take place during the night.

The SmackDown Women’s Championship was on the line as Bayley defended her title against the energetic Nikki Cross, and managed to defeat Cross in the showdown.

This led us to believe that we wouldn’t see any men’s Championship matches on SmackDown until next week.

Thankfully, Triple H and Shawn Michaels were at hand to turn the tables on SmackDown. While the scheduled main event of the night was supposed to be between Roman Reigns and King Corbin, we got an even bigger match as Adam Cole put his NXT Championship on the line against the Planet’s Champion, Daniel Bryan.

The match was much more than anyone expected and we saw Cole and Bryan engage in a brilliant encounter. The dream match highlighted the night and the action was spot on. Since Bryan is arguably the top Superstar on SmackDown, a victory over him for Adam Cole now established him as an equal threat to the other two top Champions in the country for Survivor Series.

This match indeed was the Best for Business!
