A truly eventful show.

#4 Luke Harper To The Rescue

When Luke Harper announced on Twitter that he wanted to leave WWE, fans felt a hint of disappointment, as this man was something special. Harper's rise to superstardom in 2017 warranted a proper push for the man, but WWE didn't capitalise on his red hit momentum.

Instead, Harper wandered for months with no real purpose until he reunited with Erick Rowan to form The Bludgeon Brothers. The Bludgeon Brothers enjoyed tremendous success during their run as the tag team division's top dog, but an injury for Harper saw the group disband.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

However, at the Clash of Champions pay-per-view, WWE pulled the biggest shock of the night when Harper returned to the ring and cost Roman Reigns a win over Rowan. This is possibly the smartest decision of the night, as the Bludgeon Brothers reuniting gives an added layer of depth to Smackdown Live with two menacing heels on the loose.

It's interesting to see where WWE takes this narrative, as Daniel Bryan's involvement and Reigns reaction to the situation will make it all the more intriguing.


#3 A Reason For The Cell

How many times have you questioned the matches WWE book inside the Hell in a Cell? Well, if you started to grow tired of the countless matches WWE has put inside the Hell in a Cell over the years, then welcome to the club. Fans believe this match has been watered down, as we have seen so many lukewarm battles contested inside the Hell in a Cell.

The purpose of the structure is to contain to Superstars that are at the boiling point of their feud, and it seems like we have our first true rivalry that will take the pay-per-view by storm this year. Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch may have ended by DQ, but the post-match beatdown was far more critical than the technicality of the finish.

Banks and Lynch battled all over the arena until referees separated them, and this is a clear indication that the two Horsewomen need to sort out their differences inside Hell in a Cell.
