Best and Worst of Smackdown Live - 25 October 2016

#2 Best: Limited use of authority figures

Bryan had one segment, while Shane had none

Compare the authority figures on Smackdown to those on Raw. Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley seem almost starved for attention, coming to the ring, cutting promos and appearing in multiple backstage segments.

On the contrary, Daniel Bryan appeared just once on the show! This makes Smackdown seem like it’s a show for the talent, and not about the General Managers. Moreover, him ripping on Raw at the end of the show was absolutely hilarious.
