Best and worst of SmackDown Live — 11 July, 2017

The show promised much, but just became a forgettable episode soon

#2 Worst: The big matches never even got underway

Two big potential matches did not get under way

We understand the concept of saving the more significant matches for WWE Battleground. However, on this evening, two big matches that the crowd really wanted to see did not even start and left fans with a very bitter taste in their mouth.

The first was the big tease between AJ Styles and John Cena for the US Championship, and as we expected, it was disrupted by the alliance of Kevin Owens and Rusev. Later, Shinsuke Nakamura blindsided Baron Corbin and the contest came to a conclusion before the bell even rang.

We understand why it happened, but WWE is a company that has consistently disappointed fans and needs to give their audience a reason to tune in and watch the weekly television show too.
