One is 'Glorious' and there is no stopping the other one. The addition of both Bobby Roode and Shelton Benjamin to Smackdown Live allows for many interesting possibilities, much like John Cena's addition to Raw.

While both these additions were rumoured for some time, their arrival on Smackdown Live will make for some fairly exciting match ups. Benjamin will work alongside Chad Gable as a tag team. Will they be a Minnesota Wrecking Crew for a new generation? It appears that way.

In the case of Bobby Roode, his addition seems to suggest that he will be thrust into the role of a top-level face on the brand, alongside AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and Shinsuke Nakamura. Roode's addition as a face rather than a heel also shows his versatility. Who will he feud with? We aren't sure, but the possibilities are numerous.
